【海外の反応】「タイが親日と言われているのは日本メディアの捏造でしょ…」タイ旅行で日本語と韓国語を使ってみた結果！ありえない差がw【日本のあれこれ】

In Thailand, Koreans are more popular than Japanese people. Are you kidding me? Why are they so different? Hello, everyone. I'm Yuri from Personality. Japanese people are well-known for their good manners. Even when they travel abroad, they are often welcomed by the locals. On the other hand, Koreans are often pointed out for their bad manners, which can cause trouble when they travel abroad. This time, I'm going to introduce an episode where two Japanese and two Koreans traveled to Thailand. Koreans said, Thailand is a new Japan. Thai people like Koreans. I thought so, but the reaction of the locals was different from what I expected. What kind of response did the Koreans get from the Thai people? Let's take a look. As a result of Japanese and Koreans traveling to Thailand, My name is Subin. I'm a Korean in my 20s. What I'm going to tell you today is about when I traveled to Thailand about three years ago. During that trip, I was made aware of a big misunderstanding I had made until then. I still can't forget the shock at that time. It was a very shocking event for me. Thai people love Koreans. I used to believe that. Of all the tourists from Southeast Asia to Korea, most of them are Thai people. Of course, K-pop, which Korea is proud of the world, is also attracting attention in Thailand. In the city of Thailand, there are ads of Korean popular actors and K-pop artists. It was reported in the news that young Thai people who dance to K-pop were also seen everywhere. In fact, in Korea, many Thai people have a tendency to think that Koreans are polite. Well, I've heard that Thai people like Japanese people, but Korea is very active now, and Korea is definitely more popular than Japan. That's what I thought. Besides, it may be nonsense for Japanese media to say that Thailand is a New Japan country. But my idea was a complete mistake. I, who traveled to Thailand, was thrust into a cruel reality. At that time, I went on a trip with my co-worker and friend, Aiko, a Japanese. I didn't have such a good image of Japan, but she was different. She had a good personality and a good age, so we got along well as soon as we started working together. And she was fluent in Korean. She said she studied Korean because she was addicted to Korean dramas and K-pop, but it's amazing that she mastered Korean in just a few years. The night we arrived in Thailand, we were trying to get a taxi to go to a popular restaurant for tourists. But we couldn't get a taxi at all. But it's not like the taxi wasn't running. The taxi stopped once and then the ride was banned. Not just one, but several times in a row. Hey, why don't you let me get on? I waved at the taxi coming closer, irritated. Then the taxi noticed it and stopped in front of us. And I heard exactly the same thing as the driver who had refused to get on before. Which country are you from? I said, I'm Korean. Then the driver said, I see. I'm sorry, but I can't let you get on. Then he ran away. Why did you leave just because I asked your nationality? I didn't understand why. At that time, another taxi stopped again. The taxi driver was Aiko, who was a little far away. And the driver let us get on without any problem. Maybe... I had a suspicion. The reason why the taxi kept banning me from getting on was because I was Korean? Hey, Aiko, when the taxi stopped, where did you come from? Yes, I was asked. But how did you know? I was asked by the taxi driver who stopped me many times. So when I answered that I was Korean, I was refused to get on. You're lying, aren't you? Is that possible? It's true. Do you think I'd make such a weird lie? I was asked my nationality, and when I said Korea, he ran away like he was running away. Koreans are supposed to be liked by Thai people. That's right. I had that kind of image, too. I didn't think Thailand was such a country. I feel really bad. As we were talking about that, I noticed that the driver was making an unpleasant face through the room mirror. And he was looking at us and asking us something. Excuse me. One more time, please. When Aiko started the translation app and said that, this voice was played on the smartphone. You're speaking Korean, aren't you? Was it a lie that you were Japanese? The driver asked about the country again. Are you so curious about which country we are from? If you're Korean, is there a problem? Are you going to tell me to get off now? When I shouted like that, the driver glared at us with an even more fierce look. I could feel that he didn't like us even if we didn't communicate well. At that time, Aiko told the driver something through the translation app. As soon as that happened, the driver stopped glaring at us with an unpleasant face. You just spoke to the driver in Japanese, right? What did you say? I apologized for making you feel bad. And I can speak Japanese like this because I'm Japanese. My friend is Korean, so I just spoke in Korean. I said I wasn't lying. Did you apologize? Why did you apologize? Neither I nor Aiko did anything wrong. Come on, it's not good to speak loudly like that. If you suddenly get angry, it will be a nuisance, right? Nuisance? It's not a nuisance. We're using the taxi as a customer. And you came all the way from Korea. It's weird to think it's a nuisance, isn't it? I think that's wrong. You don't have to do anything because you're a customer. And even the driver has the right to choose the customer. It's not strange for a customer with a bad manner to get off on the spot. If you do that, you'll be in trouble, right? I couldn't understand Aiko's words at all. And I love Aiko as a friend, but it's as if the Japanese like her more than the Koreans, so I couldn't understand her. I took a taxi as a customer. Then, no matter how loud it is, there should be no reason to complain. Aiko is always too low-handed, or too much of her own fire. I took a taxi with such a complicated and vague feeling. After that, while I was in Thailand, I was asked many times by the locals, where did you come from? At restaurants and massage parlors, just because I said I was Korean, I was refused admission. Is being Korean such a big deal? My concerns only got deeper. And the last night in Thailand, the day after I returned, we decided to have dinner at a restaurant that was popular with the locals. As expected, it's a popular restaurant. I avoided the most crowded time, but there are quite a few customers. Let's get in quickly. Subin, wait a minute. I grabbed my arm, which was about to board, and Aiko said so. What? Why? I'm going to check if the seats are available now. Subin, wait here. Aiko went into the restaurant alone. It seems that she is negotiating with the staff. Sorry to keep you waiting. The seats are ready, so let's go in. But before that, I want you to promise me one thing. Don't do anything that will definitely cause trouble to the restaurant. Don't do anything selfish like when you got in the taxi on the first day. What are you talking about? I will never cause trouble. So we went into the restaurant. But I wonder if this strange promise and the fact that Aiko was talking to the staff for a while have something to do with each other. I also felt dazed like when I got in that taxi. First of all, we ordered a Thai beer called Biasin. Then we ordered a Thai-style yakisoba called Pad Thai, which is the main dish and appetizer. I drank it many times during the trip. Thai beer goes well with Thai food, which is spicy and has a strong taste. I couldn't wait to drink beer while eating delicious Thai food. However, even though all the dishes were served, the important beer didn't come out. I was waiting for the beer while tasting the food little by little, but it was almost 30 minutes later. Hey, what do you mean the beer hasn't come yet? If there is no beer, the deliciousness of the food will be halved. You may have forgotten because there are many customers and you seem busy. Even if I'm busy, I can't forget to order. Well, calm down. Let's call the clerk for now. And the moment the clerk came, I lost my temper. I should have ordered a beer a long time ago, but I can't believe I forgot to order. Then, I was surprised by the sudden scolding, and the clerk also got angry and had a fierce argument. And the clerk pointed his anger at Aiko. Aiko was attacked unilaterally. Other clerks also gathered around the table, and it seemed that the customers were flying arrows. I told you not to bother me, but let's leave the store. In the end, we left most of the food and left the store. I'll pay for it, so you go outside. I was told, and I was waiting in front of the store. When I looked inside the store, I saw Aiko talking to someone who looked like a store manager. And she was also bowing her head to the clerk and customers. Hey, Aiko was a little strange at this store. Maybe she was hiding something from me. I asked Aiko, who came out, directly. You noticed it after all. I got it. Then I'll tell you everything, so don't be sad and listen. When I said that, Aiko started a shocking story. Actually, I was curious about the taxi on the first day, so I did a lot of research. Then I found out that there were quite a few Thai people who didn't have a good image of Koreans. And they say that when they see Asians, they always ask them about their nationality. Then, did Thai people ask that question to avoid Koreans? Does that mean Koreans were hated by Thais? It's hard to say, but that's what it means. The reason why Koreans are hated is because there are many people who look down on Thais and have bad manners. That's why the store I just went to first explained the situation to me. There are Koreans, but I don't want to cause trouble, so I want you to put it in. It seems that Japanese people can be trusted. That's what it was. I didn't know that, but I made the people in the store angry and made Aiko feel bad. I'm really sorry. It's okay. It was fun to travel with Subin. But be a little more careful from now on. I never thought that Koreans were hated by Thais. On the contrary, I thought Koreans liked it. But when I look back on my actions so far, it's natural to be hated by Thais. I reflected from the bottom of my heart and thought I would learn Japanese Aiko from now on. When I go abroad, I have to be polite not to lose my country's reputation. Overseas reaction Koreans in Korean dramas and Koreans in real life are the opposite. Koreans are violent and don't like to cause trouble around them. It's enough to be involved with Korea only in the drama. When I went to Ho Chi Minh in Vietnam, all the restaurants were full of bad-mannered Koreans. They were as free as if they were in their own house. I couldn't shut my mouth because I didn't know what it was like to be reserved. Even if the Chinese have a lot of demands, they buy a lot of expensive products in the end. Compared to that, Koreans don't try to spend money. There are many times when Koreans go out of the store without buying anything. I work at a hotel in the UK, but I feel that Japanese people are polite. For example, when I check out, I clean up my room and leave it. So when Japanese people stay overnight, cleaning is easy and helpful. Sometimes Japanese people don't know what they're thinking. They don't show what's in their mind at all. On the other hand, Koreans express their emotions directly, so they know what they're thinking. But if you express your emotions too much, it can lead to trouble, so be careful. Summary The bad manners of Korean tourists are not limited to Thailand, but also in Japan and around the world. It seems that there are many people who are dissatisfied with the fact that they make a lot of noise without thinking about the place, take a arrogant attitude towards the staff, and throw away the garbage. It is important to respect the local customs and behave with morals and manners when traveling abroad. When you visit abroad, you should avoid behaving in a bad way, and you should be aware of not causing trouble to others. How was it?
