-
Ooh, that's a question for me, I have no idea.
-
(laughing)
-
(Korean men answer commonly googled questions about themselves.)
-
How Korean are you, out of 10?
-
I don't know, I feel like you should answer that for me.
-
I look very Korean, people tell me I look very Korean.
-
Physical wise , you're like eight,
-
I would say, eight out of ten Korean.
-
Personality wise I think you're five.
-
Evan, I think, just look wise, like you said physical,
-
I think you look more American than Korean,
-
but personality wise six.
-
- Six? - Yeah.
-
We both fluently speak Korean.
-
We both speak Korean in our households.
-
I think we're fairly right
-
in between the Western culture and the Korean culture.
-
(Why do Korean guys wear makeup?)
-
We both do not wear make up.
-
In Korea I notice a lot of guys
-
actually do wear make up on a daily basis.
-
Looking pretty is kind of like a trend.
-
Cosmetics for men is so developed in Korea now.
-
They have, like, something called pact,
-
so it's like your hands get messy, they don't want that,
-
so BB cream, but like in a little circular tube,
-
and you just have to open up and they have a mirror.
-
They have that cushion thing.
-
Interesting, I did not know that, wow.
-
They have that specific lines for men.
-
Oh, what?
-
In terms of why Korean guys wear make up,
-
I think it's more of like a cultural...
-
The beauty standard is a little different from here.
-
Guys tend to look more prettier, especially in South Korea.
-
Like... if you look better, if you're prettier,
-
you're socially more acceptable, that's just how it is.
-
It's messed up, but that's just how it is.
-
Whatever boosts your confidence, you know?
-
It's your life.
-
[Evan] Go ahead.
-
Yeah, do it.
-
You do you.
-
(Why do Korean guys go to the army?)
-
- It's a mandatory thing. - For two years, around two years.
-
Even if you live in America and you are a Korean citizen,
-
you have to go back, serve, and then come back.
-
That only applies if you don't have permanent residency.
-
If you're a permanent resident,
-
or you're an American citizen, then you'd have to enlist .
-
It kind of became a cultural thing, where if you don't go
-
and if you live in Korea,
-
Korean men kind of just look down on you.
-
(What do Korean guys like as gifts?)
-
I like cash.
-
(laughing)
-
I like cash.
-
- As a gift? - Like a passion item?
-
No, I think cash.
-
Cash? (laughs)
-
(Why do Korean guys smoke?)
-
So, I'm a non smoker,
-
I've never smoked cigarettes in my life.
-
I am a heavy smoker, I mean I'm trying to cut down.
-
That was one of my New Year's resolutions,
-
but I completely failed.
-
I was good for like two days.
-
I just had cigarettes around the house.
-
I have an older brother and my dad
-
and my brother both used to smoke.
-
I think I just started as a curiosity.
-
Boys and girls, ladies and gentlemen, do not smoke.
-
(laughs)
-
Nowadays in Korea it's really hard to smoke out in the streets
-
because there's designated spots only for smoking.
-
If you go outside of the boundary,
-
and if someone catches you, then you have to pay a fee.
-
I think Korea is trying to become more...
-
A smoke-free lifestyle.
-
- Right? - Yeah, so that's good.
-
(Where do Korean guys hang out?)
-
I feel like Koreans, they only go to bars.
-
Bar and nightlife is such a big thing in Korea.
-
Difference between Korean bars and American bars is
-
American bars is, people stand.
-
Walk around.
-
You know what I mean, right?
-
But Korean bars is like a table service,
-
so you sit and like just talk for hours.
-
Bars or cafes and coffee shops.
-
Cafes.
-
And they just sit there and talk.
-
Yeah, that's how we hang out.
-
(Why do Korean guys wear masks?)
-
[Danny] I wear masks sometimes.
-
I wear masks when I have to travel
-
because I don't wanna get sick.
-
It's just to protect myself.
-
On airplanes, too.
-
Airplanes is like the place that you get sick.
-
Everybody should wear a mask when you're on an airplane.
-
Masks is part of fashion too.
-
Interesting, huh? (laughs)
-
Yeah, it's part of a fashion.
-
It's covering your mouth, it's a part of fashion.
-
It comes from K-pop, I feel like,
-
because K-pop idols when they don't wear make up
-
and they're going somewhere, they have masks to,
-
like hide their identity.
-
(Why do Korean guys bow?)
-
Traditional Korean way of saying hello.
-
Even if you're same age, you would bow.
-
If it's your first time, yeah.
-
Yeah, if it's your first time,
-
and you don't know that person,
-
it's a complete stranger, you bow.
-
Even if it's still younger, you bow.
-
If I saw Evan for the first time, for the show,
-
I'm like
-
I'd be like, I'll bow,
-
and then once we get to know each other then we don't have to bow anymore.
-
But you do bow to older people.
-
Definitely.
-
It's like showing respect.
-
Definitely.
-
(How do Korean guys flirt ?)
-
You go with your group of friends,
-
you go to a drinking place, sit down,
-
so I tell the waiter to bring us
-
a bottle of soda to that table.
-
It kind of give them a sign.
-
Full on give them a sign,
-
then they'll, of course, look at you, and be like.
-
(laughs)
-
Drink together, yeah, should we go, or do you wanna come?
-
(laughing)
-
Girls do say yes, and they say no, too.
-
They're like, "We're okay, we're just here to chill ."
-
They just wanna be friendly.
-
They're showing you that they have an interest in you.
-
Yeah, they're just trying to be friends.
-
They just wanna get to know you.
-
These are great questions, I mean thank you guys
-
for searching us on Google.
-
Right, thank you Google.
-
You googled it, we answered it for you.
-
Hopefully we answered couple of them pretty accurately.
