Funny you mentioned Mercedes/BMW being rampant in Seoul, because Doug Demuro thought it was hilarious S. Korea had no Mercedes/BMW but only Hyundai/Kia. And only in black/gray.

I have to say, drawing a rather sweeping conclusion of a nation of 51 million after a month long visit to a small area (albeit much of the nation's population living there) is maybe worth some reconsideration.
It's like spending a month in Hollywood for a month eating out often, and concluding that every waiter/waitress in US is just working odd jobs while trying to break into the entertainment industry.
Edit: I've also met people who are well off enough that they don't have to work as waiter/waitress, but still moved to LA to get a script made into movie, go to usc for movie (like writing movie script) etc etc.
I'd think unmarried children living with parents until they marry or get a job that requires moving to another city is quite natural in most other countries.
- bootlooped 8y agoI lived there, in Seoul, for over a year and I can say with certainty that there are a good number of Mercedes and BMW. Most of the time I saw a foreign car it was a Germany luxury brand. If I recall correctly South Korea has a trade deficit with Germany at least in part due to the import of these cars. The colors for cars really were almost all black, gray, silver and white. The main exceptions were orange taxis and blue bongo trucks. I almost never recall seeing American cars out in the wild, although I did walk by a Chevy dealership often. In the video you linked he does point out a bunch of German luxury cars.
