The character of people varies according to their origins and these differences can make it difficult to establish friendships In a foreign country it is not always a simple task. For those who embark on the adventure of living in a place with a very different culture, such as South Koreathe barrier it is not only idiomaticbut also cultural. In that sense, Aida, a spanish who lives in that Asian country, has shared on her TikTok account, ‘aidavert’, what her experience has been like trying to connect with Korean women.
In the video, the Spanish content creator begins her story by answering a question she has been asked frequently: “Is it easy to make friends in South Korea?” To which she responds, “it depends.” As he reveals, despite the time he has been in the country, He has only managed to make friends with two Korean women. The first of them, he comments, he met her ago. three years when he started studying Korean. «I see her very little. I have only seen her in person once and we talk from time to time,” he says. The second Korean friend she has made was just a few weeks ago, after months without finding anyone from the Asian country with whom she got along naturally.
Aida explains that, on the other hand, Making foreign friends was much easier from day one. “It goes without saying that I had foreign friends from day one,” he acknowledges, although he also clarifies that he understands the curiosity to know what it’s like to make Korean friends. Regarding the difficulty in making native friends, the Spaniard details that “the easy answer would be because of the language, but I think there are more things that have to do with it.” “I have had very bad experiences with Korean girls,” he adds.
Korean women
For Aida, the hostility she has felt from some Korean women goes beyond the cultural barrier. In that sense, the Spanish influencer remembers that even in public spaceslike the subway, has had unpleasant encounters: “Korean girls who push you, who try to sneak in on you, who look at you badly, who hit you with their purse as if by accident.” «In a certain aspect I notice that people, society and especially women are very competitive. I insist, not all of them, because the two I have met are a sweetheart,” he confesses, trying to make sense of the problems he has observed.
Another area where Aida has felt this rejection is in the night clubswhere he has had experiences that he describes as hostile. In the video, the young woman says that, on several occasions, she has pushed for no reason apparent and that they have even reached throw a drink on him. “They have purposely thrown a drink at my feet or pushed me on top of my friend, all without doing anything, simply for being there.” These types of attitudes have affected her perception of friendships in South Korea and have made her think that, perhaps, if she had studied at a Korean university or lived in an environment closer to local young people, it would have been easier for her to integrate. .
However, Aida hasn’t completely lost hope and hopes to connect with more Korean women in the future. For her, these friendships would not only be valuable for practicing the language, but also for fully integrate into the country’s culture. “I would really like to meet more Korean women here because in the end the foreigners have told me, those who have been here for a long time, that your foreign friends end up leaving at some point,” she points out, aware that many of your foreign friends probably won’t stay in Korea permanently.
Finally, the content creator stressed: “I have spoken from my point of view, it may be that another person has a completely different one,” encouraging those who do not agree with her to tell her their opinion. secret because “I would love to know them.”
