@yunjaekorean: U can be friends with different age groups! It just feels different. What kind of friend is it if both of u cant call each other by the name? 친구 맞아?
the whole asia is kinda like this but I do think s.korea or maybe japan take it a step further than the rest of us😅

I have friends all years but Koreans are different. They behave like they have fear.

immediately if you include a social hierarchy in friendship it kind of loses its meaning

I’ve always wondered why they’re so obsessed with age and what year they’re born.

To me, relationships should be based on a person's behavior. I'd hate to give respect to an elder who is not a good person just because they were born first.

I have a Korean friend and we had a whole discussion that we are friends even though she’s younger than me (we are in the US) but it’s a concept she struggles with, so I let her call me whatever she wants. Being seen as an older sister doesn’t bother me, but I’m not looking for respect like that 😊

나이가 다르다고 친구가 안된다는건 아니고 나이가 달라도 충분히 친구가 될 수 있지만 영상에서 예를 들은것 처럼 "야" "00아" 처럼 반말을 나이 많은 사람한테 하는게 무례라고 생각하고 그걸 어릴때 부터 배워왔기 때문에 진짜 인생 친구가 아닌이상 반말하면 상대가 무례한 사람이라고 생각하기 쉬움

I thought Koreans are smart why they can’t even understand your first vlog, too simple to understand🫣

I just watched “Are you sure” and Jk talks about how it would have been nice if he jimin and V were all the same age, if he were born the same year but they only have a 2y gap and I’m like “that’s pretty much the same age I don’t get it, is age that important” I guess so

The age thing is weird. Plus the MBTI, people change to much during life to have a test tell you how they are. One day I’m an Extrovert, then the next an Introvert… lol

I am so glad that Norway has essentially has no hierarchy and seniority. You call essentially everyone by their first name. Your teachers, principals, boss, colleagues, doctor, etc.

not sure why they are getting offended... I had koreans say - our age gap is too big. I don't feel comfortable being your friend ( in general). The gap was 3 to 4 years in this case. you made valid points and your video is helpful.

when i moved to korea i was quite surprised when often the first thing people would ask was my age bc that’s rude in my culture. but then i realised it’s often so ppl can categorise you as 동생/친구/언니 and how they act towards you

as a korean, in my opinion, it’s bc in a lot of times, ppl only refer to other older ppl by name when they don’t respect them. So if you call them by name they might be offended a little bit? But if you know there isn’t any bad intent and know that you have different background or culture, i wouldn’t take it seriously and be offended. I think we grow up being taught in social situations how to refer to people in certain ways, so if other people refer in other ways, koreans don’t really understand.

andr0ideighteen on everything :
Hi, I have a question if you wouldn't mind answering! You mentioned at the end sometimes the older person will say "we can be friends" implying that before they saw you as not a friend but a younger sibling. If you have a close relationship with someone and you both enjoy spending time together but the elder happens to see you as more of a younger sibling and not as a member of their own cohort - is that not emotionally the same as friendship? Personally I wouldn't feel like I had less of a friend, so I feel I must be missing something.

English langage mixes everything with the 'Friend' word. It doesn't mean they are at that level in your heart. In French langage their is many words to distinguish real friends, and someone I bearly know but find nice to hang out with.
