"Touched by Korean Men's Manners"... The Korean Life of 'Blonde Beauty' Arin from Uzbekistan

Arin, a creator from Uzbekistan, shared her six years of living in South Korea and the distinct cultural differences between the two countries. In a video released through the YouTube channel 'New Minsang', Arin revealed her current activities as a model and creator, along with the reason she came to South Korea.

"Dreamed of Korea after watching the drama 'The Heirs'"... Korean language skills achieved in 6 years

Arin stated that it has been 6 years since she came to South Korea and that she recently graduated from university. Having been interested in Korean dramas since middle school, she said she nurtured her dream of Korea through the drama 'The Heirs'. When asked about her Korean language skills, she boasted her fluent language ability, saying, "Because I talk a lot, my skills improved quickly as I kept doing it." In fact, she showed that she has perfectly adapted to life in South Korea, having gone through a language academy and graduated from university.

Currently, Arin is active in South Korea as a model and creator. Having come from Uzbekistan, she has only about three friends from her own country around her, and she has become so deeply embedded in South Korean society that most of her social circle consists of Koreans. Arin explained that the Uzbek language and Russian have entirely different grammar and word orders, adding that the Uzbek word order is the same as Korean, while the Russian word order is similar to English.

"Manners like holding the taxi door"... The difference between Korean men and Uzbekistan men

Arin shared positive experiences regarding the manners of Korean men. Mentioning an anecdote with a former Korean boyfriend, she conveyed the emotion she felt at the time, saying, "When getting out of a taxi, my boyfriend held my bag and got out first to hold the door for me." She highly evaluated that Korean men have consideration for women ingrained in them.

On the other hand, she explained that the tendencies of Uzbekistan men have similarities to Russia. She mentioned the tendencies of Uzbekistan men using the expression 'affection-starved' and added that she does not prefer that style.

"Marriage and childbirth are fundamental"... Conservative Uzbekistan culture

The conversation continued regarding the differences in values between South Korea and Uzbekistan. Arin explained that the culture in Uzbekistan is very conservative. She said that while a 'DINK' culture exists in South Korea where people do not have children after marriage, in Uzbekistan, having children after marriage is a fundamental given.

She shared that there is a social atmosphere of asking, "Why live if you are not going to continue the lineage," and noted that it is common to marry in one's late teens or early 20s, immediately after graduating high school. She also introduced the culture of her home country, which emphasizes family-centered and traditional values, such as receiving pressure from parents to return home early and get married.
