I think having to pay 2 euros to use the restroom in Europe
is just ridiculous.
Free restrooms?
Will Seoul become safer?
- If we patrol? - Yeah, we'll kill them all, seriously.
Kill them all?
There's something I'm curious about.
I've never asked this before.
You can't talk about ex-boyfriends.
I won't ask about that in the future.
And you can't ask how much money I have now.
Germany and us, we used to be enemies.
I just can't forgive that.
Do you have any bad
prejudices about Japan?
They watch a lot of porn.
Everyone watches porn.
Oppa, so when are we going to Gangwon-do?
We have to go before the rainy season starts.
The rainy season is still far off.
We're a patrol team now.
We'll protect Dongdaemun-gu.
You can feel safe when we're on the streets.
It's a mess.
Seoul is a total mess right now.
Seoul is a mess?
People in Jamsil can't even vote...
because we couldn't patrol.
Will Seoul become safer?
- If we patrol? - Yeah, we'll kill them all, seriously.
Kill them all?
(Shivers)
I said protect!
Ah~ protect~
Since we're a patrol team, let's go to Gangwon-do?
Right, because Oppa lost.
Oppa, you said, "It'll never happen~"
I didn't think it would.
He passed even after pooping?
If I pooped during my driving test, I wouldn't have passed.
But they let Rich pass.
The discrimination is too much.
(Rich's enviable life)
Let's go get some coffee.
This is it. Not many people here...
and it's nice and quiet.
It's like Italy.
What are you going to drink?
Something iced~
Americano?
I'll have watermelon juice.
Watermelon juice is expensive though.
You brought your wallet, right?
No, I don't have it.
Since Olha bought lunch...
(What does that mean?)
Please buy the coffee at least.
Mine looks more delicious.
Olha, there aren't many watermelon pieces left.
(?!?!?!?!)
So the adult drinks Americano...
...and the kid drinks watermelon juice.
I better eat one before Olha does.
I'm curious about something.
It's something I've never asked before.
Really?
I've never asked.
Don't talk about ex-boyfriends.
It's not about ex-boyfriends.
I won't ask about that in the future.
You can't ask how much money I have.
(She must have a secret fund)
You should tell me how much you have now.
Let's both reveal it now.
Not that.
Our subscribers might be curious too.
What made Olha like Korea?
Why did you come to Korea?
What did you like about it?
I never said I liked it though?
You came because you liked it.
You lived here because you liked it.
When I started learning Korean...
...Korea wasn't popular at all.
In 2012.
It was before "Gangnam Style" came out.
After graduating school...
...my mom is a teacher...
...and I wanted to be a teacher.
But teachers' salaries are too low.
Since my dad is a lawyer...
...I thought I should be a lawyer.
But my dad said absolutely not.
Why?
Why not a lawyer?
Isn't being a lawyer a good job?
But according to my dad...
...for a woman...
...if she raises children...
...she can't work for a few years.
But since new laws keep coming out,
you can't keep up with them.
So he said it's a bit troublesome for a woman.
Dad told me to just learn a language.
And that's how...
I thought about it back then.
I had zero interest in learning English.
Spanish, Japanese, and Korean.
I applied for those three.
Spanish men looked pretty cool,
(What do you mean?)
and there was something about soccer...
Like the Europa League?
You should've married a Spanish man then.
(Jealous?)
But Spain is close to Ukraine.
So a lot of people learn it.
But I don't like doing what everyone else does.
So I thought, "I should go with Asia."
First of all,
China didn't seem right, so...
I ended up choosing between Japan and Korea.
But in my heart,
I thought about what we had at home.
The washing machine is Samsung.
The fridge is LG.
"I see some hope here."
That's what I thought.
Since they're already in my house,
they must have offices here too, right?
And they'll probably be hiring, right?
And the biggest issue was...
I had some bad prejudices about Japan.
Like they watch a lot of adult videos.
And sell women's underwear on the street.
Everyone watches adult videos.
(You all watch them, right?)
Also, Germany was our enemy back then.
I can't forgive that.
I didn't know anything about Korea yet,
and there was nothing to be afraid of.
So you chose Korea because of the washing machine and fridge.
My mom is all about Samsung.
Even her phone is Samsung.
Right~
So that's how I started learning it.
But I didn't really like it at first.
I thought it didn't suit me.
And learning Korean was hard at first.
And Korean men were a bit...
were weird.
So the Korean men
who were in Ukraine weren't great?
There was a Russian department, right?
They were just hitting on girls~
It's the same everywhere.
But when I
first came to Busan,
I loved it so much.
First of all, it was so clean.
I stepped out of the airport, and it was so clean.
Clean enough to eat off the floor.
As I hung out with people,
I thought, "This place is really great."
"I don't want to go home."
"I have to live here somehow."
I made up my mind!
But I couldn't extend my visa.
So I made a resolution on the plane.
"I'll do my best to come back here!"
I really made
a firm promise to myself!
So I decided to save money for a year,
and I worked three jobs back then.
I worked at the Korean Cultural Center until 1 PM.
Then I went to school for classes.
Then I taught Korean at an academy,
and I did private tutoring too.
(A strong woman)
And then you found out about the scholarship.
So I thought, "I don't need to have a lot of money."
"I can beat everyone with my studies."
Right.
Luckily, you got the scholarship,
and that's when you came to Hanyang University?
Right.
Is that when you became a Seoul girl?
Then, what was
the decisive reason you liked Korea?
It probably wasn't Korean men,
since you said you liked Spanish men.
(Are you laughing?!)
But Oppa, you're like a Spanish man.
You're a manly man.
I am a bit of a buff guy.
(He's the real deal)
First of all, Korean history is so interesting.
Korean people went from being poor to becoming wealthy.
Knowing that value and living diligently,
that really touched my heart.
Born with nothing but working hard
and making money seems fun too.
I think we have a similar mindset.
The food too...
It's really so diverse.
Then...
If you could only eat one Korean food for the rest of your life?
Is it free?
(She's definitely a penny-pincher)
Maybe beef tartare or raw fish?
It's great because I don't have to cook.
And...
Most Westerners are individualistic.
I'm not Western, so I wouldn't know.
Korean people...
Have a sense of community.
That's really cool.
That's the Korean "Jeong."
Koreans are really good at this.
Taking things from abroad...
And constantly improving them.
Like with cosmetics.
Now, more than French cosmetics...
Korean cosmetics are doing much better.
In Europe, they sell the same bread for 50 years...
And sell espresso.
That's good too.
Keeping traditions is nice, but...
There's an advantage to constantly evolving.
Right, because times change.
I think they'd thrive anywhere.
Their drive to succeed is amazing.
It's a bit like me.
And the marriage culture...
Seems to suit me well.
You've tried it once already.
(Right?)
I tried it once, and it suited me.
It's because Oppa treats you so well.
(It's the truth)
Getting married with care...
Taking care of that person dearly...
And taking responsibility for life.
Why didn't you date a Spanish man...
And met a Korean man instead?
I've never even been to Spain.
So how could I meet one?
What do you think of Korean men and women?
Even when I was in Ukraine...
I thought Korean women were pretty.
Because they're so petite and cute
They have that princess vibe
I thought they were so pretty
I was a bit jealous
I have hips, but they don't
I wanted to have that look
They don't have what?
Hips...
People in Korea feel the opposite!
Why do you want your hips gone?
Then I'd look thinner
That's not the only problem, but...
You wanted to be skinny?
(Silence)
Now,
Korean men look much more handsome
When I see foreign actors,
I don't really think they're handsome
Gong Yoo is cool,
and Song Joong-ki is handsome
And the one Olha likes...
Park Bo-gum
Park Bo-gum is handsome too
Who do you think is pretty among women?
For women, IU is pretty,
but I don't know many names
(She only likes male actors)
I really don't know celebrities, Oppa
Everyone is pretty and self-disciplined
Olha is pretty and self-disciplined too
(Peace in the family maintained)
Thank you
You should've ordered one for Olha then
Oppa, you drank all my coffee!
What? I only had one sip
I just remembered!
I have so much to say
When Korean people
create a service,
they try to make it perfect
For example,
things like full-service moving
Other countries don't have that
It's easy to live if you have money
I lived comfortably even without money
There are places like Jjimjilbangs,
from A to...
To where?
To Z?
All the way there
Did you forget English?
Everything seems so well-organized.
In other countries,
they probably can't even imagine it.
Like, "The AC needs cleaning,"
and people just come and do it all~
Right.
You just have to sit still.
How great is that?
And they come right away.
Abroad, it takes like a month.
And here, like...
when you get medical treatment,
it's all so convenient.
Even when Oppa got his teeth done,
they did all the temporary treatments.
You can't walk around without teeth, right?
But abroad, you just have to.
Because there's no other choice.
Your car is in the parking lot,
and people come and wash it for you?
Does that even make sense?
Like when Oppa got a car wash?
Those services are so well-developed.
It's truly the best.
Wouldn't Japan be okay too?
- To live there? - No.
But for Oppa, Japan isn't it yet.
We can't go anyway.
We can't immigrate.
You'd probably have to marry a Japanese person?
Then both of us in Japan...
Oppa marries a Japanese woman,
You want me to remarry?
and Olha marries a Japanese man.
I think I'm too old, so it'll be hard?
I think it's still possible for Olha?
I'm the one losing out here!
Japan isn't for me.
I'm 100% for Korea.
Not China,
not Japan...
Korea is the only country I want to live in.
Really?
Okay, keep living in Korea then.
I should keep living here~
Keep living here.
Bye~~
Oppa should keep living here too.
Okay.
Oppa, you have no choice now.
I know.
Since you married me, you have to stay with me until the end.
Let's go, we're finished drinking.
Let's buy some socks for Mom.
Mom loves socks, you know.
There's a good place here.
Really?
She's a sock collector.
Yeah, she is.
She's a sock hunter.
That's why we came here last time.
So let's buy some more.
We can send them to Mom.
Mom says Korean socks are the best.
Really?
You missed this part, Oppa.
Mom really says Korean socks are the best.
I see.
She won't wear socks from other countries.
(So much national pride lol)
Mom likes this kind of style.
These look nice and cool.
These are pretty good too.
Look at this.
I just went to the bathroom,
and there's another thing I missed.
Seriously...
Paying 2 Euros just to use the toilet in Europe...
I think it's just ridiculous.
Free bathrooms?
One of the great things about Korea.
So you're saying you'll live in Korea from now on?
Exactly.
Forever?
Exactly.
Oppa, you'll never get divorced then.
Right, don't even dream about it, Oppa.
You have to stay by my side forever.
I definitely will.
Got it?
(Chills...)
Today Olha...
explained why she likes Korea so much.
But there might be some things
that Olha still doesn't know yet.
Our subscribers
probably know much more than we do.
So please let us know in the comments
what Olha might have missed!
What other great things are there in Korea?
You can also leave comments about the downsides.
Olha ignores all the downsides.
There are no downsides.
Okay, okay.
There's only one downside.
That Olha doesn't have her citizenship yet.
That's the only one.
It'll come out soon.
Thank you so much for watching until the end today.
We'll wrap it up here.
Yes!
See you next time!
