hot yellow fellows: I'm planning on going to college for a semester in Korea, but I don't speak Korean well I only know how to say a few...
The more Korean you know, the easier your life will become and the more Koreans you’ll meet — but it’s definitely pretty easy to get by without knowing any Korean and even easier to get by knowing just a little bit of Korean. Of course, I say this as someone living in Seoul. Your mileage may…
In regards to gay Koreans being open, in my experience the older guys I dated (I am now 29 and arrived in Korea at 26, so I’m saying my age or a couple years older) were much more comfortable with their sexuality and some were open with their families. The younger ones were much more closeted and hesitant. I got irritated with younger guys and swore them off for dating… until I met my boyfriend, but he’s not Korean (Asian though). I also found the guys that had spent time abroad to be much more comfortable with themselves.
Every guy and everyone’s experiences are different. I’m not flaming or über-flamboyant, but I don’t hide my sexuality, and being with someone who was confident and comfortable was important to me.
In regards to what HYF said about gay.com, Tumblr, the Hill and certain jimjilbangs, all was spot on in my experience…
