An American lady who visited South Korea, Seoul hoping to find a K-drama-type boyfriend was disappointed when she realized that reality was far from how she imagined it. A frustrated lady appeared in a viral video complaining about how she had expected to find streets awash with K-pop idol replicas, only to be confronted with ordinary South Korean men living ordinary lives.
Woman Travels to South Korea
The video, capturing her journey, starts with her eagerly traveling to South Korea. “On my way to Seoul to fall in love with a Korean man,” she states, sitting on a plane. But the atmosphere takes a turn soon as the video captures her panning over the faces of various men on the streets, accompanied by a jeering version of the Titanic theme song.
Watch:
In the video, she turns the camera around to display a random guy walking down a Seoul street, saying, “What is happening here? You want to see Korean men? Here, I will show you.” She then says how disappointed she is, adding, “We’ve been catfished. It’s very disturbing. I wish to leave immediately,” before the video ends.
Social Media Reactions:
Social media responses to the video were varied. While others saw humor in her reactions, there were others that took issue with filming strangers in public and judging how they look.
One commenter simply stated, “Stop being shallow and attempt to see the spirit, first! Then you will discover what you actually need.”
Another commenter responded, “Shocker! Life doesn’t necessarily include a photo filter built right in. Honestly, beauty isn’t one thing or another kind of size.”
A third added, “I get more and more annoyed at people who visit other cultures and insult that culture. Remain in your lane/country. Do not insult other cultures.”
