About Waygook Confessions
Waygook Confessions is an idea that Rachel had years ago, but it didn’t get made until Summer 2014! Here’s the concept: There are tons of cultural differences between Koreans and the foreigners who live in Korea. That’s the case with foreigners living in any country, right? Those differences make life as an expat interesting! Sometimes, an expat foreigner (or 외국 – waygook in Korean) adopts the cultural customs of their host country. Other times.. they don’t! It can be embarrassing when you don’t “do as the Roman’s do” – so sometimes we keep it a secret that we aren’t adhering to the social norms of our host country. Rachel wanted to make a video with people confessing those secrets! And here it is: Waygook Confessions – things that foreigners in Korea want to confess to Koreans!
Who are these people?
Waygook Confessions was filmed at SeoulTube 2014! The event was hosted in Yeouido park, by the Han river. All of the people in the Waygook Confessions video were SeoulTube 2014 attendees – and (almost) all of them have their own YouTube presence! Check them out!

We also have to acknowledge our amazing, super hard-working, mega awesome friend Hyojin! She took the time to translate the English confessions into Korean so that we could subtitle the video for our Korean friends and neighbors to enjoy also. Thanks Hyojin, you rock!
