This was hard to believe when this Korean made a survey months ago about Filipinos basic knowledge about the South and the North.
I find it depressing though that these students with access to the internet, had no idea about the interviewer being on the South.
I don't know what they are teaching in history class, but I felt so embarrassed on how they answered it. Most people here are already Korean Pop and Drama fans, How could this happen?
We asked people around Metro Manila and Laguna, "Do you know the differences between North and South Korea". Interested in the video? Subscribe for more! Loo...

Hello @louievill that's a possibility because they look like high school students.

@Letranknight2015 he did not make the mistake of asking either you or me otherwise he would get a lecture on the history of the Korean peninsula

Hello @sjvg1976 I don't know why because most of them are Kpop fans now. At least now they know.

they should watch "Olympus has Fallen" so they will know which one is communist.

You know as I recall the video some of them are starting to remember the difference between North and South. They probably got caught by surprise @ridingbet

Were you really embarassed? I think you can't or shouldn't expect everyone to know everything.
Also you mentioned history class. Having North & South in Korea would, as you believe, be a basic knowledge but do you remember everything you learned in your history class?
Hmm. Is this usually discussed in history subject or some other subject?
I am Filipino and I believe that this is my temper talking.

I met Filipinos who thinks all White people are Americans and thinks Oprah is from Africa.

That's really frustrating! I don't know about many young Filipinos who are hooked on Koreanovelas but they do not read about Korea's history and culture?
