1. [+361, -2] Ugh, an embarrassment to the country. Ugly Korean. 

2. [+318, -1] The Thai police should just jail him up. No need to even return him back over to Korea.

3. [+170, -6] These YouTubers aren't just behaving like this in Thailand, they're doing this in Japan too!!~~ No matter how much the local women turn them down, they're totally drunk off the Hallyu wave and go around hitting on everyone!!~ and have the audacity to swear at the women if they turn them down!! Foreign women may like Korean men but not just anyone! They like the handsome ones!! 🤣

4. [+86, -3] Our problems here are leaking out to other countries. Don't let them come back in the country again.

5. [+65, -2] Embarrassing! Release his identity to the public! And please, can Korean men also stop trying to hit on Japanese women with your mumbly Japanese!

6. [+21, -0] There's a reason foreign countries have started calling Korean tourists 'Ugly Koreans.' When I hear stories from co-workers who are working abroad... let's just say, our manners aren't seen as any different from Chinese tourists out there. We need to acknowledge this and do better.

7. [+21, -4] Spreading the state of K-Hannams all the way to a foreign country

8. [+16, -0] These Korean men are always acting like they're Won Bin whenever they step foot in Thailand, tsk tsk tsk. In Korea, they'd be treated as nothing more than an ajusshi ㅋ

9. [+15, -1] I apologize to the Thai people.. this is embarrassing

10. [+14, -0] These guys know they can't get any action here so they go traveling around to South East Asian countries acting like they're worth something just because they've got a camera in their hand. 

11. [+5, -0] My face gets red when I think of all the embarrassing things I've seen Koreans do in Thailand... It was actually so bad before COVID that Bangkok had several restaurants that straight up banned Korean customers... I heard it was because Koreans would make reservations and just no show. Oh yeah, three years ago, there was also a crime spree that took place over a month and it ended up being a Korean criminal. We really need to block these 'Ugly Koreans' from leaving the country. 

12. [+4, -0] Platforms like YouTube are also to blame... It encourages people to behave in the absolute worst manner just for some views.

13. [+4, -0] We all know it's guys who aren't even given second glances here who think they can ride the Hallyu wave and harass other people in Asia. Really wish we could round them all up and just get rid of them.
