For the most part, Koreans are friendly to Americans; you might be thinking of student demonstrators who don't know about living during the Korean War, therefore, blaming Americans for the division.

The 5 relationships I mention is interesting; should help with your cultural understanding.

Answer 3

I am confused by your question (or, in fact, statement). I am an American who has lived on-and-off in South Korea for the past 36 years. My wife is Korean. South Koreans, in general, appreciate what the US did to free them in the Korean War. A few hotheads (most young) resent the fact that the US (and other nations of the United Nations Command) have been there too long. But, recently, when I was in Seoul, there was a well-publicized demonstration against the US by young people (some say their leaders are paid by North Korea) while another peaceful march by (most older) people thanking the US went largely unnoticed by CNN, etc.

The Korean people (that is, of the Korean culture regardless of post-World War II divisions) were largely mistreated by their rulers - whether Korean kings or Japanese ocupiers. There was much suspicion and fear of the leaders among the poorer people. This led to people being seen as cold and distant with regard to politics; however, the Korean people have traditionally been emotional people, liking to sing and dance, argue, fight, and display feelings unlike most Asians.

Aside from the radicals currently protesting the US military, almost all the Koreans I know are warm, kind, loving, caring people.

Answer 4

If Koreans were organizing and killing Americans in Korea, the news would definitely cover it! How do you know they are trying to eliminate Americans? I know many Koreans, and they don't mind Americans. Perhaps the American military in Korea can be bothersome, but not enough for the Koreans to try and kill them.

If you are talking about North Korea, then this is also not true. North Koreans would love for an American to get caught in their country. The government kidnaps foreigners in the country to teach their languages to its officials, and English is quite valuable!

Answer 5

Maybe its becasue they deal with people asking rude questions and saying stupid things and generalizing about their entire culture.....
its not like that at all....do you even live here? I have lived here for 2 years and love it cause I treat others with respect, I am from NY so this is really far from home and never once has anyone ever tried to kill me or anyone I know....
more americans drunken or otherwise do evil things to the koreans here than they dream about doing to us....read the newspaper once in a while,educate yourself, then answer your own question .

Answer 6

i'm precisely like that, different than that as quickly by means of fact the intercourse is over, I bounce suitable into the tub to bathe it off. whilst i'm so occupied, I assume them to dress and in a position to depart. i'm like this with anybody. boyfriends, one night stands, intercourse friends, and as for "love", nicely i don't be attentive to approximately it lots, yet i do no longer think of it may be lots distinctive. I merely ought to have a tub, and wash all of it off me. i do no longer use condoms, (yeah, i be attentive to I ought to, yet i'm from the technology the place they have been "grimy"issues, and females took care of delivery administration. I nevertheless try this. i'm vaccinatied against pregnagcy each 3 months, and the adult men I see are merely as sparkling as i'm. i've got had 10 AIDS attempt, and that they are all unfavourable. I certainly have never had an STD. it comes from choosing companions intently.) i'm no longer prepared to permit him watch my television, and if he's hungry or needs a cup of espresso, there's a save suitable around the corner. why ought to I entertain or feed him? all i want is for him to flow away.

Answer 7

it's their normal facial expressions. Koreans don't smile when walking, or when they see strangers.

And they don't try to exterminate Americans, it's just in North Korea. Try exploring the south instead.

and by the way, they discriminate people from their neighboring countries (other than Japan and China) more than American people.

Answer 8

not all do that...i can see where your comming from but mostly its the culture because koreans are very stubborn people with lot of pride. It is also because of our history because Koreans faced alot of struggle from invasion of Japan and even through the korean war. Even though they seem cold on the outside they are very warm and generous people deep inside, and i can tell you this because my pops is just like that.

Answer 9

They have good taste! And if they give you mean face that should tell you something about yourself.

That is strange... Koreans like Americans. Oh but they dislike GI very much. So many fu*** up stories from them.

Are you a GI?

Answer 10

Hmm but I thought they were inspired by those American Music that's why korean music is the best of Asia! I know that South Korea was controlled by United States (or still is) in the war but they helped them alot so wtf! and North Korea is still probably controlled by Russia but Kim Jong Ij taking it too far! he's the far most the evilest korean I know! but I guess young people don't know about much about the past of Korea and United States but old people probably do.
