2021-05-24 20:01:12 +0000 UTCI'm glad you posted this. I've been presented with an opportunity as well. There's so much red tape, & without someone who is fluent in the business laws, it's tricky.

2021-05-24 19:08:36 +0000 UTCI saw a report on those guys! They are AMAZING. Extremely handsome, & well dressed. I love how they inspired the elders/older generation to be more confident and still be fly at any age. 🥰

2021-05-24 19:05:53 +0000 UTCI would like to know what their views are on masculinity? There have been studies Asian males are viewed as the least attractive. The lines of femininity and masculinity have been intersecting more over the years.

2021-05-24 03:25:26 +0000 UTCMy wife is transgender, and we are planning to visit Korea next spring. I’m worried about how she will be treated. She even asked me if I thought she would have to buy male clothes to travel with, which would be incredibly hard for her. I’d love a video on how trans people are treated, so I know how to prepare.

2021-05-22 00:33:44 +0000 UTCI want to know who is considered the most influential idol in many ways, not all in music. (I also mean besides BTS!!)

2021-05-21 22:14:28 +0000 UTCWhat opinions do South Koreans have regarding immigration due to the aging population and decreasing birth rate? Do their opinions vary for skilled labor immigration versus unskilled labor? Also, I know there has been some concern expressed about real estate speculation by foreigners, but it seems to be more so related to Chinese citizens. Do South Koreans have concerns about other nationalities and real estate speculation? For example, as an American citizen, I’m kind of interested in business investment options in South Korea which in turn would mean eventually wanting to purchase a home there after successful business operation. Would foreign business ventures in the local economy be perceived as negative by South Koreans?

2021-05-21 09:37:32 +0000 UTCSaw an article about the so-called "senior BTS" and it made me curious how Koreans feel about older people being trendy and getting into social media and/or k-pop. Here's an excerpt: "While the 6 gentlemen are the OG’s of this dapper ahjussi trend, they have banded together to create a brand for themselves called, The New Grey. Their brand is targeted towards the older generation of South Korea, calling all ajummas and ajuhssis to be the coolest version of themselves, regardless of their age." Here in the US, we often get two reactions, depending on your age. Younger people tend to be annoyed by such things, and older people tend to find them inspiring.

2021-05-21 00:41:22 +0000 UTCHow do Korean's really feel about tattoos in today's world and does it really bother them if they see idol's on TV with visible tattoos (like BTS's Jungkook)?

2021-05-20 23:28:10 +0000 UTCI love Hannah's question above about LGBTQ + identity. On a separate note, what about questions regarding favourite non-Korean singers/rappers or movies? Oh, also, what Korean artists (singer, rapper, group) do they recommend foreigners listen to? For example, maybe some less-known artists.

2021-05-20 10:07:03 +0000 UTCAlso with the recent housing situation and small number of job opportunities in Korea, how do college people feel about their situation of “starting “ their lives? Do they have debt like most Americans when they graduate from college?
Melissa Bacon
2021-05-20 10:00:15 +0000 UTCWhat is interesting to me is how blood types play into match matching to even job interviews. How does the youth feel about this and how do they use it in their daily lives?
Melissa Bacon
2021-05-20 09:57:20 +0000 UTCI would love to see LGBTQ+ topics, like how they would feel if an idol/actor came out as any LGBTQ+ identity~ or if their friend came out to them~ Maybe it's still too early for that but sometimes it's also surprising how much people's opinions have already changed and opened.

2021-05-20 08:20:25 +0000 UTCSeparately, I’d like your opinion on why Rap Monster the mixed tape isn’t on ITunes?

2021-05-20 07:58:04 +0000 UTCRachel Kim just did a video on her channel about the different animal face types that Koreans use to categorize face shapes. She used different celebrities as examples, like Jeni from BLACKPINK being the cat type face. I’d like to know how you and other Koreans would categorize all the BTS boys, the rest of BLACKPINK, and the MamaMoo girls. As well as having an entire video explaining all the animal types. Like what is the dinosaur type face?

2021-05-20 07:53:28 +0000 UTCPeople often talk about how BTS had been discriminated against for being from a formerly small agency. Which really good groups are now being discriminated because of the same reason? Any examples they can give of the groups and how they are discriminated against? Is Hybe perpetuating this discrimination now that it is huge?
Regards to All
2021-05-20 07:00:59 +0000 UTCWhat they think of hybe labels? Do they know which all artist comes under them? or If more labels will come under the hybe umbrella in future ?? ( If you guys haven't already done it then)

2021-05-20 05:43:12 +0000 UTCQuestions around COVID: What’s their opinion of how the government is handling COVID vaccine? Will they get the vaccine? (Is it even an option to NOT get it?) What do they think of quarantine rules (inbound flights w/foreigners)? How important is it to open Korea back up for tourism? Others…

2021-05-20 05:29:11 +0000 UTCWhat is their opinion on NCT Hollywood

2021-05-20 04:09:46 +0000 UTCWhat do Koreans think of companies doing NFT merchandise. Recently A.C.E dropped the first kpop NFT merchandise collaboration but there was a huge commotion about it in the international community. Are they aware of what it is and what's going on? https://amp.scmp.com/lifestyle/k-pop/bands/article/3130687/boy-band-c-e-drop-first-k-pop-nft-merchandise-collaboration
