The term 'Korean' is said to have derogatory connotations in South Korea. In Australia, people use "Overseas Chinese" instead of "Korean". The reason for the pejorative connotation may be that there are indeed some sensational crimes committed by the Koreans in South Korea as in the movie, and they have been hyped by the Korean press (in fact, the crime rate of the Koreans is not high), the main reason is that the Koreans are in All industries in Korea are the hardest, most tiring and bottom-level jobs; factories, restaurant kitchens, construction sites, transportation, etc., as well as the notorious Voice fishing (telephone scams) and Kakaotalk scams. In their eyes, the Koreans are their 'evil neighbors'.
In the Youtube comments about the introduction of the movie, Korean netizens have made very vicious curses and attacks on the Koreans. They have poured all the worst possible qualities and evil motives and bad qualities into the identity of 'Korean' . It seems that this race is the incarnation of evil, the Muslims in the eyes of white Americans, or the Jews in the eyes of Nazi Germany in those days —————— "evil neighbors"
Lacan points out that even if the wife is actually having an affair outside, the husband who spends all day and night guessing and jealous of whether his wife is cheating is pathological. (Pathological) Just like when people in Nazi Germany thought about the Jews who scraped all their money and slept with their German girls...
Among the vicious curses, what Korean netizens hate the most are phone scams and Kakaotalk scams . The Korean entertainment show Gag concert (개그콘서트) has a sketch called "The Yellow Sea" that reflects this phenomenon. I have also heard a recording on Youtube about a Korean kidnapping a man's mother and extorting ransom, but the South Korean mother who received the call has been dead for several years, and the Korean uncle is very humorous and serious. Really answering the question, and finally the two of them chatted. The Kakaotalk trick is said to be a kind of communication aid, chatting, sending photos, making appointments, making money, and then returning it after saying that I didn’t receive it, asking to call again (deja vu), and a Korean girl who specifically answered the phone to cooperate, etc. , when the list is big, it is said to be tens of thousands of yuan or more in one night.
In my opinion, the problem of ethnic Koreans and Koreans is actually a 'class problem'. First of all, with the development of the Korean economy, a group of middle classes have been produced, and a large number of Korean middle classes are unwilling to give up their bodies to do those hard and tiring jobs. However, the Korean economy needs a lot of labor, and neighboring countries There is a group of neighbors who can speak their language, they can meet this demand, and they also need this kind of job opportunities when they are poor and backward. Most Koreans don't like Koreans very much, but they are grateful for the opportunity, South Korea has promoted the development of Yanbian, and the Korean economy is also benefited from the cheap labor of Koreans (same job, Koreans often get less wages ) But ordinary people may not recognize this, let alone say thank you, and just say 'get out of our country' like the movie review below. While the hard-working Korean compatriots of the 'working class'/'proletariat' are working diligently, there are also some people who are on the road of fraud. (Perhaps they are also unwilling to do hard and tiring work like the middle class in South Korea.) There are also some outstanding Koreans who work or do business in South Korea, and they are well educated in the country. One of the people I know is a freelancer working in the IT industry, one is working in a large company in Korea, and the other is a PhD student in Korea and teaching at a university. They are also middle class and may receive relatively less discrimination. Like the wealthier or better-educated blacks in America, they are of course treated differently.
Another kind of 'class problem' and 'racial problem' is; first of all, most Koreans are very patriotic due to the original brainwashing education in your country, and have a strong Chinese identity, and at the same time, because of their Korean identity And proud. Most Koreans see ethnic Koreans as Chinese (they say; so do you think you are Chinese) Koreans discriminate against ethnic Koreans, and they certainly don't like Koreans, and Koreans don't like ethnic Koreans (Because of the various reasons mentioned above), this dual segregation of race and class tends to make Koreans have a sense of superiority, a sense of superiority from the heart; Sense of superiority) It is almost rare for a Korean girl to marry a Korean boy, and this sense of superiority is a real estrangement, even though we actually share the same ancestry.
This hostile, class struggle-like state will continue as long as the current economic structure persists. South Korea's middle-class petty bourgeoisie continue to loathe their 'horrible and hateful neighbors' with their superiority. Unequal economic status and class inequality, the Koreans are unable to cross this hurdle and have an equal dialogue with them. They use the film to create this kind of criminal image with almost no humanity (one dimensional person), The Koreans have no economic capital or cultural capital to refute, nor have the opportunity to talk about it, and this kind of economic oppression and cultural exploitation (how South Korean audiences want to see that the Koreans are really so bad!) Unable to put it into words, they continued to struggle and endure.
