How Bad Is Bullying In Korea? (feat. The Glory) | Street Interview

It's pretty bad bullying started from Korean Mainstream media,Police force and cruel korean fans because of these rubbish people many Korean Celebrities commit suicides!

I'm glad to see someone taking these questions to the streets. It's sad that the only way a school will stop the bullying is if the parents threaten to sue their asses or there's footage/"impossible evidence" of the bullying taking place. You can't even rely on witnesses.

I wonder if because workplace bullying is so prevalent in Korea that they don't care about bullying in schools.

Everyone wants to live in Korea because they think it's so amazing but that's all a fantasy. Although the cast system is no more, I believe it lives on in modern times through bullying, bribes, and various forms of superficial discrimination including ones prestige and status.

Even the language allows room for bullying with honorifics and such. Why does one have to show so much "respect" to a coworker or classmate just because they're a few months older than you? It's just a way to feed the egos of those at the top and reinforces everyone below to follow suit. This in turn gives a false sense of power to those who did nothing to earn it. I personally have experienced so many times at work where I wasn't respected or taken serious for my very legitimate ideas and plans to fundraise when my superiors knew nothing about how do that. They complained that they need more funding but they can't swallow their pride and let someone younger take charge of a small project. This was not in Korea but it seems most cultures promote older people to unquestionably be in charge just because of their age and connections, even if they have no experience or education to get the job done.

I wonder what experiences others have had in the workplace related to this topic.

Those people who say I don't like when people complain alot on their social media statuses or in real life about their sufferings and all sometimes these people are the real bullies.

I feel so bad for these kids who get bullied in school or college because those are the best years of your life you need to enjoy them to the fullest. I pledge to every parent to have an open conversatioon with their kids so if they are suffering from anything like that please take care of it as soon as possible

In middle school I was punched in the face by a guy, told the teacher, and you know what she said. "Ask him why he did it." She didn't do a thing.

That why there school shootings

I'm from Brazil, and as a teen I not only was bullied but also bullied others to fit in with the cool kids. It is a shameful moment in my life, and I wish I could go back in time and do differently.

I see bullying in kdrama and in real life. I don't like it, it still is evil. I cant stand others being hurt but if they can't defend themselves they could learn to defend themselves.
Seeing south koreans try to validate others that they are better through bullying is the most ridiculous idea they ever had. The cause is from their parents. They suck at teaching their kids because they're full of pride that some things are better than taking real good care of their family. It means mentally and physically. Their parents have to show some love and effort of being that parent to their kids and when the love isn't passed to their kids it creates a misfit aura that makes their kids think they need outside validation to make them feel better. And what is that outside validation? Its letting anger out other people who they are jealous over that has that family love n they dont.

So what I’m getting from this is that a lot of kids are angry in Korea and taking it out on other kids. I can only guess maybe angry about
Parents not being home much, competition in school and constant pushing to do better, realising their lives after school aren’t going to be
Much better. Angry kids make angry adults so kinda turning into toxic culture right before the worlds eyes. It’s actually really sad for both victims and
Bullies. Perhaps it’s a nice place to visit but nowhere nice enough to live. Everyone just wants to survive and that’s not enough to thrive and enjoy the beauty for just being alive. It’s a culture which is imploding. 😢

This was so sad to watch, and thank you to all the wonderfully brave people who gave evidence of their bullying at school. I cannot post here what I truly think of these cowardly bullies, but they are part of humanities lowest people. I will leave it there.

there's a common trend I feel among some of these major asian countries where it seems a lot of the kids have a lot of deep psychotic traits that might just not get pushed out of them or slowly encouraged. It happens in american but I think american kids are geared towards outwards violence or things you can see. A lot of these asian kids who became violent are more cunning about it and can hid it better and can be very cruel.

영화같은것은 흔하지 않은거지 당연히 직접 학급에서 일어난일이 아닌데 왜 더 하다고 하지? 난 미국에 20년째 살고있는데 뉴스로만 총기 사건을 봄. 현실에서는 아직 일어나지 않은일임. 그래서 누가 물어보면 안전하다고 함. 누가 고데기로 생살을 지지는것 보다 더하다? 지억에서 학교다녔나? 제발 자기가 본것이 현실이라고 믿어야지 들은것은 와전된 소설임.

I don’t like how US public schools are set up nowadays, with the schools being absolutely terrified of the students’ parents and kowtowing to their whims, but that kind of thing would have been so beneficial to these victims. I’ve never heard of a teacher actively participating in the bullying of a student. If it were me, my parents would have gotten the teacher fired before the school day ended. Cruelty towards children is evil, plain and simple.

I got curious searching about bullying in South Korea because I noticed all of their Manhwa's are stories involving violent bullying and revenge.

I was bullied in 7th grade, at first it was just psychological but then there were these "incidents" that happened as the school called them. Half of my class and half of the other class in my grade would gang up on me and insult and film me when i was just trying to read. I was punched in the face by a guy too. Those things kept happening. I realised i was being bullied and told my parents, they told the teacher (that didn't do anything), so they told the principal. The principal told me to meet the school counselor and she asked me "think about what you can change so that you will not be bullied", i was deeply hurt by that. As the school didn't deem it necessary for me to change schools as there was less than half a year until i would change school anyway (like moving up from middle school to highschool).
In the end all i got was trauma. No apology, they didn't even reprimand the students (not even the guy who punched me), and every time i see one of the people involved in that i start panicking and shaking in fear.

ㅋㅋㅋ 더글로리가 한국학교 기본이면 한국은 이미 망한나라지 대부분은 아닐텐데 의도적으로 인터뷰를 골라서 하네

Bullying happens everywhere but is most severe in Southeast Asia countries, especially Korea.

SOMEBODY FIND THE DUDE WITH THE BLACK BEANIE OH MY GOD ☹️☹️☹️

I went to boarding school where there was no escape from this sort of thing. When I finally got out of there I refused to go to school (at 15) again as I couldn't face it - despite monstrous pressure put on me. As for teachers not knowing.....rubbish - they're well aware - they didn't get their by being stupid or blind and they've been through the system themselves. I later pretty much got myself educated and through university (if I'd been in Korea I would have had ZERO chance of achieving that) - but I still haven't forgotten what happened all that time ago.

I really feel for them in Korea - which while I love the place. is a nightmare of corruption, wealth inequity, insanely over-powered and untouchable corporations and a brutal education system. Bullying in a situation like that really does have life changing consequences. Joseon hell indeed

Went to HS with a lot of Koreans.
Being stared at and Bullying is their thing.
Sickening behavior.

The teachers boil my blood. They are so useless and it’s upsetting

As a teacher, being aware of bullying and listening to students to create a safe environment for every student is part of my responsibilities. To here these stories, it breaks my heartfor those who are bullied. Nevershould a victim be victimized twice. Its up to parents to teach their children the correct way to conduct themselves. There is no place for it in society. But also, m9r than likely the bully is experiencing hardship and that should be addressed as well. Great topi c.

dude in the black beanie is clearly traumatized.

Wow!
I watched this thinking how could it possibly anything like the show but the experiences and observations of those interviewed is quite upsetting and disturbing 😢

서초구에서 쭉 학교 다녔는데 그런 왕따는 보지도 못하고 겪어보지도 못함.
그런 고문이나 왕따문제는 좀 수준이 떨어지는 학교나 소득수준이 낮은 지역의 학교에서 일어나는거 같음.
중산층 이상 거주하는 학교에서는 피드백이 바로와서 그런 일이 가능한지도 의문
현대가 손녀, 아시아나 항공 딸이랑 같은 고등학교 다니고 삼성가 딸도 대학 같이 다녔는데 다들 조용하게 열심히 학교 다니다가 졸업함.
재벌가나 잘사는 애들도 전혀 그러지 않음

In the show (The Glory), the teacher was portrait as an abuser (hitting the student). How accurate is that portion of the show? That the teacher is hitting the student in front of other people (other faculty and staff) and no one did anything to defend the kid, does not paint is great picture of the school system as a whole.

The reality is bullied person committing revenge likely will be punished. The bullies, not so much.

The irony of the bullying scandals from the cast of The Glory was immense. Weren't a few of them outed to be bullies back when they were schooling or something? Like the full blown sort of school violence, forcing "mules" to queue up and buy their meals, extorting students for their lunch money, smacking people, threatening them, being in a school gang etc.

Being a bystander makes you a terrible person too, watch the victim be gone and then u become the victim. The cycle will repeat on another person.

I really don't understand one thing WHAT THE PARENTS OF BULLIES DOING? just bcuz they have upperhands law shouldn't act like that.... If i ever came to know my kid hurt is fellow kid... I'll make sure he learn his lesson and never imagine to hurt someone again!!!

Also koreans gonna face so much in future with this kind of society... With low birth rates and bullying everywhere it's not gonna take them anywhere. You need peaceful environment to develop the society. Hope upcoming generation changes for good....

i was abused by my parents, bullied and school and was in an abusive relationship in my late teens. i didn't think of myself as a bully in school but i did do some shitty things to people at times but i had a bit of an epiphany about kindness when i was a teenager and how if i believe in equality that means i should be kind (when i can) to everyone, including myself
punishing people for bullying is not the real solution, in order to stop bullying you need to look at what is causing abusive/aggressive/violent/cruel behaviour. people can be good and bad at the same time, and the way they behave changes based on what values they have learned and the environment they're living in. humans are animals and sometimes we act with aggression instinctively or because it's what we have learned to do. i'm not making excuses for bullies, i'm talking about the reasons they do what they do. some people are raised in violent environments and they become very insecure because of this and choose to perpetuate the trauma they have had inflicted on them because they think if they don't bully others then others will bully them, or they've been taught to believe that some people actually deserve that treatment. a lot of bullies probably see their actions as justified because they are punishing their victims for something they don't like.
i'm not saying there shouldn't be consequences for bullying in order to protect victims, but harsher punishments will only create more suffering and is not likely to scare people into behaving themselves. fear is a poor motivational tool and one that is often exploitative and creates more victims (for example imprisoning people and then making them do forced labour- i.e. slavery which is common in many countries, lots of smartphone companies use prison labour). bullies need help to reform their behaviours and they need compassion- not necessarily from the victims, but from someone who will help them to be kinder and channel their aggression into something that isn't violence/cruelty

Just bully someone in indians school and you will be treated like a criminal 😂 plus teachers will beat you up to pulp and your own parents will beat you up if they know 😂

I’m shocked because I always thought the school bullying scenes in Korean drama are exaggerated….

schools around the world are places where the next active psychopaths and sociopaths get their training. The best ones never get caught even as adults. Bullying also tends to continue away from school grounds. I have been bullied by my own brothers, kids from school away from school. My own mother shrugged it off when I asked her for help at the age of 6. So I survived alone and still prefer to spend my time alone at age 63. Most people are hell. While growing up over time, I did meet a few people who did not mind getting to know me. I cherish the memories. These few people's support was what helped me survive. However, still today, I can smell when someone is going to say something hurtful to me and I eliminate such idiots from my life very quickly. I cherish the very few capable to appreciate me. Anyone can be nice. It is the reason(s) why someone stop being nice that makes the difference. It can be because of fear of difference, envy, feeling invisible to people they wish to be acknowledged by, destructive pressure imposed by so-called caregivers, and so on. We live in human societies that take pleasure at destroying its own children because no one wants to be bothered with the realities of others. it is all about ''me, myself, and I'' attitudes. Most humans have lost their sense of community where everyone cares for each other. Things are bound to get worse before they get better. So don't fool yourselves.

Its the bullies that become teachers in unfortunately, the blonde girl mustve faced one of those people. Like how other bullies become nurses/ other care giving jobs.

Bullying is worse in south Korea and America

Where l come from AFRICA,there is no bullying, it's not normal ....very uncommon so theses people shouldn't be saying it's ever

The sad thing is bullying doesn't just disappear after school. Those same child/teen bullies then become adult bullies in their workplaces and communities. If anything, it becomes worse because they often gain some authority or power. Fear of repraisal either from the bully themselves or from those in power who protect the bully is a powerful deterrent unfortunately. Perhaps if those who have power/authority publicly stand against it and protect others who stand against it, and more and more people speak up, overtime the culture can be changed. I'm sure a majority of people want that but it can be disheartening to go at it alone.

i have a friend who moved from Korea 3 years ago. she told me how she was bullied in school, and how the bullies would steal her school supplies and belongings. They'd throw her backpack into the trash. One time, on a hot summer day, they forcefully took her shoes and socks off of her feet, threw them onto the street, and she had to walk on the hot asphalt BAREFOOT as cars were driving.

Do they have mostly male-classes and female-classes and not so much mixed classes in South Korea?

Speaking as someone who was bullied pretty badly at times myself, people who can't get over their bullying and want to get revenge even years after HS are probably bigger bullies themselves and don't even realize it... Some of the biggest bullies I've ever known were 100% convinced they were the victims. And always will be...

This is not bullying. This is assault. There is a difference. This is much worse and highly criminal.

I cried like a baby watching this video. It’s so heartbreaking. The worst part is knowing that right now kids are still being bullied in school. This needs to change and quickly. We lost too many bright young minds already

who is that idiotic teacher? i mean i see this in kdrama but it's actually true?? who is that teacher. i want his name!!

for any human being enjoy torturing and bullying another human being are the worst garbage.

Bullies got ass kick in my country VietNam. We don’t like bully someone . Even people bully someone , those people have to be carefully walk on the street after school . The one got bully will stab those in back with a knife .
