Your balls will thank you

Something that got left out of the video but I wanted to mention. KR fans actually crowdfund gifts for their favorite players. Basically, there are sites that have people create a gofundme type of page to be able to give their favorite players a birthday gift or write messages like "We love you" on those big public advertising billboards. Just as there are super negative people, there are also super positive ones in KR as well.

in a korean prison
"oh, new guy, what are you in for? they caught me killing a man"
"i told faker that he sucks at playing sett during a livestream"

I prefer EUW toxicity. The hilarious broken english flaming gives me life.

My mom was a model Korean student (attended either the first or second best women’s university at the time), and some of the things she tells me are just wild. Literally just the other week, she legit had one of those nightmares about having to retake the suneung. The 1st thing that dream-mom said/thought wasn’t even “what that’s bullshit” or something, it was “wait, I haven’t studied.”
When I ask her about what hobbies she had, she said she never had any because any free time she had was reserved for sleeping. It was bad enough that when she finally got into that really prestigious college she worked so damn hard for, she didn’t even pick her own major, she just did the one her dad told her to: HOME EC. Apparently he wasn’t even that strict on my mom becoming a housewife or anything, she just didn’t have anything else that interested her.
I’ll also never forget that time when I was in like elementary school or something & I asked my mom what grades/test scores she’d gotten as a kid. “Idk, but I was ranked X in my class.” For whatever reason that just shook my American ass down to the core.

"I love that teachers treat us as human beings"

This is beyond depressive

I've once met a Korean player on a game and became friends, he told me about his school life and how his teacher kept telling him he's a failure even if he finds a tiny bit of success. He later said he wanted to quit school cause of the stress and depression from all the high expectations people give him. Till this day I feel bad for him and wish him the best, I haven't spoken to him for a few years but I hope he's doing well.

I was born and raised in NZ but I went to school in Korea for a year because one of my relatives died.
Could argue that it was one of the worst experiences of my life.

I remember reading once that Japanese companies often hired an American to give feedback. Just to say shit like “The fuck, this is a dumbass idea” or “No that’s not gonna work” because the workers weren’t allowed to talk back to the boss or even just correct mistakes. Kinda reflects how toxic the work culture is in Asian countries when absolute subordination to bosses prevents any kind of feedback, that could potentially actually improve the company, from happening.

This is not just a League documentary, this is a video revealing something much bigger.

I've taught in Korean private schools for the past decade, and the difference between my students there and the students in public schools is... terrifying?

It's almost like teaching two different nationalities, even though both groups are nearly 100% Korean. The private school students have so much more energy and life, and because these schools are so incredibly expensive, almost all of the kids are from rich families, and typically move on to bigger and better things than their public school counterparts. The curriculum at the school also contributes, being typically 2-3 years ahead of the public schools.

My current school even has a counselor on staff, available to both teachers and students. If only every school here could follow suit, things would improve so, so much.

I like how NA is basically the opposite when it comes to surrendering your team can be 0 and 30 but they will continue farming just to lose in 25 min instead of 15

Dude, half way through I forgot that was a video about League

Ive had two korean bosses(male boomers). Every single time, they want things “fast”, ven though it doesn’t need to be fast, and yet a receive constant follow up. They literally say, faster is better. But eventually we make mistakes and missed opportunities to reflect on better strategies, making things much slower if not broken. Im in academia. I resigned because what the hell am i doing here. Im not writing so much low quality papers just because my boss wants them as many as possible. Its only me perpetuating a broken management. Theyre so anxious all the time and like, gloomy, and it leaks to the lower ranked positions.

If I made post about this on reddit, I would've been either banned by mods or called RACIST and being downvoted to hell. We needed someone with authority to tell harsh truth. Perfect video Dong!

Lmao, I'm a Korean myself and I feel like people sugarcoat Korean culture too much like, literally all the time, great vid, need more of these kind of things to let everyone know that Korea ain't that great of a place to live permanently, though I guess it's a decent place to pay a visit once in awhile.

As a korean guy myself, I have convinced myself in all the right reasons to not play League at all and knowing that my mother country is the number one country for suicide, speaks a lot about the mental health of the people living in a toxic culture.

The studying culture there inflicts a self-superiority complex on each individual.

20:05 so thats why yone says "Sleep is not for the weak, but for the blessed"

As an estonian (we had one of the highest scores at PISA in the entire world) it is absolutely insane to think about thatkoreans are at school 14 hours a day. You need breaks in order to make yourself ready to absorb more information. Korean learning system is like slowly killing yourself.

As a kid at boarding school who has tons of Korean friends now, many of which play league: yea. This is absolutely accurate. There’s this one guy that had his Gold IV acc permabanned because of the pure disgusting shit he said in /all. To be honest, he’s actually a really chill and considerate person to those around him that he even mildly has some sort of attachment to, and he’s even recently quit league because he realized how pointless and toxic it was. But I’ve played a few games with him and god was that a fuckin experience…

Very good video
