1. [+363] As a Korean myself, I don't similar such lead ways of speaking either.. Once I fifty-fifty met someone for the offset fourth dimension who asked for the foursquare footage of my home... it was really hul!

2. [+125] Koreans alive inward a collectivist guild then I recollect they experience similar they tin tell such things that cross the describe of piece of work to a greater extent than easily. There are a lot of situations where people halt upwards crossing the describe of piece of work in addition to pain others amongst their words! I recollect it's getting ameliorate lately, though! A lot of people are seeing that it's incorrect to tell such things then directly.

3. [+85] Most of these are close looks. Which makes sense because when y'all enquire someone close their offset impression of someone, they'll normally tell something close their human face upwards rather than personality or anything Koreans assist a lot close how they physically acquaint themselves to others, which is in all likelihood why they're also non afraid to brand such lead comments close the looks of others

There are a lot of people who volition run across y'all for the offset fourth dimension in addition to compliment y'all on your looks, which is nonetheless a work fifty-fifty if it's a compliment because it way they're judging your looks inward the offset place. "You expect then youthful ", "Your peel is then white", "Your human face upwards is small, your legs are long"... I've heard all of these a lot from consummate strangers which makes me wonder... if I were none of these things, would they live on gossipping close my looks behind my dorsum instead of proverb it to my face? I loathe that we're then obsessive over our looks in addition to pose then much pregnant behind every niggling facial expression. I could convey a blank facial human face in addition to someone volition nag at me if I'm feeling bad close something, which makes me uncomfortable because I'm totally fine. 

9. [+5] Why should I assist what a foreigner thinks...
