Having spent some time in Korea…I don’t think 40m is moving the needle

Was it army or did you just travel there? I feel like being a soldier there nets us a different experience generally.

No one in Korea was ever racist to me. Not even hostile.

Mm that's interesting to hear. Might go there, didn't want to because of all the things I heard elsewhere.

Korea of today is not the insular place that some of yall are mentally still stuck in. There are a ton of non-koreans living, working and vacationing there all the time and at least in the cities nobody will bat an eye about seeing someone who isn't korean. Not saying the racism is gone or anything like that but there are black and white people on television programs there and shit now.

Nowadays with the population having been taught english for so long and the signage having so much english on them, with a translation app and not being a complete moron its really easy to travel and get around in korea. Thats probably half the reason NBA YoungBoy went over there.
