"When I came to Korea and applied for internships, I was shocked to hear that I had to put a picture of myself. America considers it discrimination, as a picture can show your sex, age, ethnicity, and nationality." When told that Koreans will even get plastic surgery for employment, he said, "So do jobs look at looks rather than skill?"
1. [+7,615, -91] This show may be a variety but it teaches so much about the world which is why I love Non-Summit. There are tons of shows with foreigners on it but none of them can live up to this one.
2. [+6,370, -109] Our country truly is obsessed with looks. I'm embarrassed that we consider the face as a job skill.
3. [+5,858, -125] I'm more shocked that there are jobs out there that don't require you to include your picture
4. [+3,919, -45] The issue hits so close to home... and I can't even laugh about it because it's reality for our country.
5. [+1,182, -11] It's not only pictures... I don't get why applications ask for the jobs of family members and their education too ㅠ-ㅠ
6. [+1,106, -18] Once again, the show shows just how behind Korea is in terms of rest of the world
7. [+961, -8] It's not only our pictures that are required but the job and education history of our entire family too ㅋ I'm glad that jobs don't ask for pictures of our family as well
8. [+772, -4] Our country is probably the only country in the world where people will go get their hair and make up done, borrow nice clothes, get a studio picture, and photoshop it all to put the photo on a resume. The amount of money spent on these photos are insane. There is something seriously wrong with our country.
9. [+757, -11] This show makes me want to move to another country
10. [+629, -2] This has been an issue for a while... All of the larger companies consider your face as part of the job.
1. [+11,103, -149] It's true, why should the education level of our parents matter? Even parents who never graduated elementary school raise good kids. Not being able to land a job because your parents never got higher education must be so devastating.
2. [+9,439, -125] I can't believe even being born under good parents is considered a job spec now
3. [+6,927, -100] The title alone pisses me off
4. [+938, -16] The funny thing is... jobs were about who had the better specs, but now that everyone has similar specs, they start looking for more competition like wealth and education background of families... Which basically means you can't even dream of landing a good job anymore unless you were born into a nice family.
5. [+802, -14] I was writing an application for my kid's pre-school and it required me to list the parent's education... I don't get it.
6. [+713, -20] Just because the parents graduated from good schools doesn't mean their kids are going to be the same
Photo shoots of Abnormal Summit members Pann: Photo shoots of Abnormal Summit's hot panelists
=====
1. [+171, -0] Alberto was asked what kind of a dad he wanted to be and he said he wants to be a dad who loves mom... You Alberto ㅠㅠ Is there another guy like him...
2. [+166, -0] Enes' Turkey pose is the funniest ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
3. [+130, -1] I'm so thankful to them for leaning Korean, Korean culture, and working in Korea. Of course they have their own reasons but I don't think I'd be able to do the same in a completely new country. Our country is not even an English-speaking country. They live here because they like it ㅠㅠ Thank you
4. [+45, -0] ㅋㅋㅋ Enes
5. [+42, -0] Zhang Yuan kept calling Kim Gura "dangshin" (formal word of "you") because his Korean lacks a bit and it was so funny ㅋㅋ He earned $10 a month when he had a part-time job in high school and when Takuya said his hourly pay was $10 in his high school, Zhang Yuan said "I'm pissed". Cute ㅋㅋ
6. [+40, -1] These days, Australian Daniel is not getting much screen time, it's sad ㅠㅠ I personally like smart Tyler, Zhang Yuan and Australian Daniel ㅋㅋ
7. [+40, -0] Tyler is so cute. It's not easy to be cute and intellectually charming at the same time
8. [+31, -1] Do well ㅠㅠㅠ
9. [+31, -0] How did they choose the members so well? There isn't a person who is so-so, they're all charming and likeable. They all seem to be getting along! I hope Abnormal Summit succeeds more~
10. [+29, -0] Abnormal Summit is so funny~ I was so surprised with their ages though ㅋㅋ
11. [+27, -0] Never knew a fish market could look so awesome ㅋㅋ
12. [+26, -0] Amazing how they cast all handsome people. And I think German Daniel speaks as well as Tyler
13. [+26, -0] I love the chemistry between these three members ㅋㅋㅋ
[Abnormal Summit Ep.3] Conflicts between China, Japan and America
Article: 'Abnormal Summit' Zhang Yuan "I don't like them because they're Japanese and American"
Zhang Yuan is a Chinese member on the show.
Zhang Yuan's comment to Takuya, a Japanese member: "I don't like him because he's Japanese. Other than that, I like everything about him." "I like Japanese people but Japan as a country is..."
His comment to Tyler, an American member: "Americans..." "I like Tyler-ssi, but China is not able to develop much further because of America. This is what makes me frustrated."
=====
1. [+239, -25] Of course, the courage of China is amazing... Isn't he the first person who said "I hate Japan, I hate America" right in front of the native people on TV? I was so shocked... I understand him but China is meh... I think he's very nationalistic because he was an anchor in China
2. [+202, -46] I think that's better. Koreans hate Japan so much on keyboards but we act so fake when we talk to Japanese people
3. [+153, -5] China people are originally so strict when it comes to expressing their feelings... Japanese people are different from inside and outside. To express it in a good way, they're well-mannered. But Chinese people are clear with their likes and dislikes so their opinions are straightforward and very honest. Also, they're extremely proud with their country. As someone who has friends from both countries, it was a great shock for me ㅋㅋㅋ
4. [+23, -1] Isn't it just a difference between the mindset of countries? Some countries express their thoughts straightforwardly and some countries hide their feelings like Japan. Abnormal Summit was originally meant to hear foreigners' thoughts. We have to accept the differences... If the foreigners have the same personalities, then there's no point of the show
5. [+22, -11] I was a bit uncomfortable... Enes from Turkey talks roughly but he keeps the line, but the Chinese guy just said he doesn't like them just because they're Japanese and Chinese ㅋㅋㅋ They were able to clarify the mood because it's a variety show. I don't think he should've said it when they were clearly listening
[Abnormal Summit Ep.5] Guillaume Patry talks about Canada's sex education Article: 'Abnormal Summit' Guillaume "a patient of AIDS taught sex education"
Guillaume Patry, the Canadian rep on Abnormal Summit:
"I still remember the sex education I got 20 years ago clearly. A real AIDS patient came to my school and taught us sex education. After listening to him, I learned the importance of protection."
=====
1. [+515, -7] I've been watching Abnormal Summit since the first episode and I always laugh for the whole episodes ㅋㅋ It's so funny... so are the subtitles. What's great is that not just about the fun part, but that we can see the differences from the countries. It made me understand that they're not wrong but different. The fun part is a plus~ It's sad that the British rep left the show...
2. [+311, -6] Guillaume who likes Korean cow meat ㅋㅋ
3. [+253, -23] Oh, isn't he the Guillaume Patry who used to be a pro gamer of Starcraft? He always competed against Im Yohan... It's been a long time since I've seen him
4. [+38, -3] Can they not invite guests though? We get enough talks and fun contents from the foreigners. If the guest is gonna sit there and not talk, then don't even come on the show at all...
5. [+34, -1] Abnormal Summit is so funny. I hope it succeeds like Witch Hunt and gets popular!
6. [+33, -2] You have to be realistic when it comes to sex education. A word from an AIDS patient would be much better than a thousand words from a teacher
7. [+31, -1] Woah if you get that kind of sex education, it would really get stuck in your head
8. [+26, -1] I hope Guillaume catches the crook, pays his debt, and eats Korean cow meat for 3 meals a day
9. [+23, -1] Abnormal Summit is funny
10. [+22, -1] Abnormal Summit is really funny ㅋㅋ I watched by chance and it was so funny so I'm watching the previous episodes and I always laugh. It's also fascinating to learn the differences of the countries... But sometimes, I feel uncomfortable because of the Chinese rep... How he said they had to be good to him because China's population is 1.4 billion. I understand that he could hate Japan because of the history, but how he hates America because they stop China's development. It's a typical Chinese mind... Disney sued the people in China who illegally used Micky Mouse, and 80% of the Chinese people said that America is slandering China with the lawsuit. They also said they think Micky Mouse is China's... I view him positively but I get surprised at moments like these...
11. [+20, -4] Out of all the TV shows on the big 3 channels, cable channels, and jtbc, Abnormal Summit is the funniest show so far... This is a real fact, can't refute
[Abnormal Summit Ep.7] Discusses marriage + homosexuality Article: Abnormal Summit Daniel, "Turkish people are uncomfortable", Enes replies, "it's an ignorant statement"
=====
1. [+8232, -220] This show would be screwed without Enes... His role is really important
2. [+6154, -101] A variety show shouldn't be taken seriously, people are taking it so seriously
3. [+5669, -242] Of course anyone would be mad if someone says they don't want to visit their country... But it's broadcast so they should be careful and let's not say hurtful statements!
4. [+5642, -330] We have to understand that Enes is extremely conservative because Turkey is an Islamic country. But personally, I mostly agree with Julian
5. [+4148, -95] The journalists are now bashing this show because it's popular!! Just view it for fun
6. [+1373, -37] Enes is holding the leadership in this show ㅋㅋ He's conservative but he's so good at speaking. Turkish sayings ㅋㅋ
-
Article: Alberto reveals his beautiful wife... "I want to live with you forever" propose (Abnormal Summit)
=====
1. [+510, -9] I think Italy took Switzerland's neutral image because of Alberto ㅋㅋ He's usually neutral and he always smiles so he looks pleasant and nice. And his voice tone is so cute.
2. [+437, -8] Alberto is so witty ㅋㅋ I think he'd be really good to his wife. He also looks like a good person
3. [+417, -12] Hul, I didn't know that he married a Korean woman. Imagine how much he loved her to follow her to Korea... I envy them~
4. [+47, -2] Alberto's father-in-law asked him to pick the prettiest from his four daughters, and Alberto answered the prettiest is the mother-in-law ㅋㅋㅋ I think he'd get so much love from his wife's family ㅋㅋㅋ
5. [+47, -2] How can they speak Korean so well? Not just their pronunciation, but they know the slangs and have great sentence structure. They learned Korean after hitting 20... This show is so fun, I totally fell for it. Normally, people think Italians are short-tempered but Alberto is so innocent and kind, I became his fan. I like all foreigners on the show
-
Article: Hong Seok Chun "I felt very devastated as becoming aware of homosexuality" confession (Abnormal Summit)
=====
1. [+764, -63] Just like Daniel said, I don't understand homosexuality but I don't look down at them... Anyways, with each episode, I learn that Alberto is a really good person. I envy his wife and today's Abnormal Summit was funny. I like it because G11 are all different
2. [+589, -30] All episodes of Abnormal Summit are funny... Alberto jjang
3. [+432, -21] I think the staff of Abnormal Summit keeps monitoring the responses on the Internet
4. [+62, -4] I like Turkey Enes because he's clear with his own opinions and never gets carried away with others. It was cool of him to speak his own opinions even though Hong Seok Chun was there (TN: Enes disagreed with homosexuality on this episode)
5. [+53, -8] I'll make no comment because I can't accept homosexuality... But I do want to praise Hong Seok Chun for living a hard life without disturbing others
6. [+51, -1] I used to think Yoo Se Yoon only tries hard on variety shows but he's a good listener and he can control the atmosphere. He's actually fine
[Abnormal Summit Ep.8] Discusses Korean culture in general Article: 'Abnormal Summit' In Korea, water, side dishes and bathrooms are free 'But they're not in Europe'
=====
1. [+608, -21] The fact that they had to pay to use bathrooms was a great cultural shock...
2. [+567, -19] When I traveled overseas, I was really shocked to see a person sitting on a desk in front of the bathroom and getting paid... And I don't think any country has washrooms that are as clean and well-functioned as our country's
3. [+296, -8] Can't believe the beach culture during summer is European culture (TN: This comment is making sarcasm of having to pay to take a spot on the beach in Korea)
4. [+38, -1] Our country has good transportation, delivery system, side dishes in restaurants, and bathrooms. The best country to live in is our country if you're rich
5. [+35, -3] Also our delivery system ㅋㅋ Foreigners are really surprised with it. If you order something today, they get delivered to you by tomorrow. The delivery system is the best ㅋㅋ
6. [+32, -3] People might think we're just used to our own culture, but the country where you can fulfill basic needs the easiest is Korea. Of course, there are many things you can bash but I'm very satisfied to be born and live in this country
-
Article: 'Abnormal Summit' Julian, "I don't understand the expensive deposit culture in Korea, Europe is different"
=====
1. [+233, -9] But I heard that our country's "전세" culture is liked because foreign countries don't have this system (TN: 전세 is a Korean housing system where you pay a huge amount of money, live in the place for a few years, and move out with your money back. No additional fees.)
2. [+221, -32] I'm sure there will be so many people who will run away if they don't pay the deposit ㅋㅋㅋ So many rude people these days
3. [+151, -10] The housing fees are so expensive in Korea ㅠㅠ We don't even get much benefits
4. [+22, -2] It's still better... If you want to live in the US alone without 전세, you need at least $2,000 per month... At least you can get the deposit back
5. [+18, -2] The house owner has to be able to kick the resident out if they don't pay their monthly rent. But it takes 3~4 months until the trial ends... This is realistically hard. I think the rent fee of 6~8 weeks was the deposit in Europe. They also have a fund that takes care of the deposit so they can borrow the money right away... I think it would help the people who live alone in our country if we adopt the system to areas that are full of people
6. [+16, -1] No wonder why Europeans become independent so fast... I think a lot of Koreans would also become independent if we didn't have to pay the deposits
-
Article: 'Abnormal Summit' Tyler, "France needs to give back Jikji to Korea" a firm statement
=====
1. [+647, -2] Tyler is cool!!
2. [+577, -3] "You seem normal, abnormal, but normal~♪" The best show on Monday night
3. [+479, -6] Of course, Abnormal Summit! It's funny. I think it's funny to discuss a variety of topics. It was new today because they did games and cooking, but it was more fun to hear the differences of cultures. Always cheering for the show!
4. [+50, -0] None of the foreigners are dislikeable. The atmosphere is neat and the MCs match well. A funny announcer, a funny comedian, and a singer with rational perspective. A pleasant atmosphere, not too serious. I'm saving this show in my hard drive with Infinity Challenge
5. [+47, -4] The problem is not the MCs, the staff doesn't know how to choose a proper topic. Why did they have to do a useless quiz of Deoksugung Stonewall Walkway? How is this related with the cultural differences and perspectives?
6. [+38, -0] Tyler... Again, I learn that educated people are different. I respect him
[Abnormal Summit Ep.10] Chuseok special Article: [Yesterday's TV] 'Abnormal Summit' Zhang Yuan, he's the "charming guy", isn't he?
Zhang Yuan, Tyler, and Takuya performed Pharrel Williams' Happy
Guillaume sang Sung Si Kyung's On The Street
Australian Daniel, Julian and Robin performed Bonjour's What Good News
Sam Okyere and Sam Hammington performed rapping
=====
1. [+6433, -319] All foreigners on Abnormal Summit are likable...
2. [+4941, -131] As a guy, I also find Zhang Yuan handsome
3. [+4508, -88] Zhang Yuan... Charming guy...
4. [+3711, -71] Zhang Yuan <3 I became his fan after watching Abnormal Summit! So funny ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
5. [+3505, -67] China's Louis Armstrong ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ You were so charming yesterday
6. [+754, -50] I was so dumbfounded when Jun Hyun Moo laughed as Zhang Yuan was speaking a poem but right after, Yoo Se Yoon said it was cool. I got a new impression on Yoo Se Yoon. Jun Hyun Moo-ssi, how would you feel if a Korean got laughed as he was speaking pansori? I know it's your concept but please learn to respect other cultures
-
Article: [TV zoom in] 'Abnormal Summit' G11's various charms with their different performances
=====
1. [+1792, -14] I was surprised with Sam's rap... He was really good
2. [+1688, -18] The Chinese lyrics Zhang Yuan sang was "I'm singing" in Chinese ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
3. [+1481, -12] I still can't get over Guillaume singing On The Street ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
4. [+1283, -9] I burst into laughter when Guillaume sang On The Street ㅋㅋㅋ
5. [+1117, -8] No need for words. This is the best
6. [+463, -4] I find German Daniel the coolest. You'd think the younger European guys beside him are handsomer but the way he looks, speaks and behaves are just cool. Especially when he played the piano for On The Street. I hope to see him on TV more
-
Article: 'Abnormal Summit' Sam Hammington "Sam Okyere changed. He doesn't do 90 degree bow anymore"
=====
1. [+371, -57] Sam Hammington looked like the arrogant one, though
2. [+315, -8] I think Sam Hammington hyung was being arrogant because he was with foreign hoobaes
3. [+193, -6] The way black Sam rapped was jjang!!!! No wonder why he's a black hyung (TN: "black hyung" is a positive term Koreans use for black guys)
4. [+34, -3] I felt his arrogance when he said "Tyler what are you doing? ugh" at Tyler's long explanations. Tyler is 100 times better than Sam Hammington
5. [+28, -2] The greetings are different from the situations. Doing 90 degree bow in every situation is even more rude and ignorant. Do you think this is a gang?
6. [+22, -0] Sam Okyere's rap was so good. He could easily be a singer
[Abnormal Summit Ep.11] Discusses unemployment + features an Egypt rep
Article: 'Abnormal Summit' Sami, "in Egypt, people are allowed to date only if they're planning on getting married"
=====
1. [+3949, -159] They talked about world's first inventions, and Korea invented a lot of things. Marinated chicken the chicken God, metal type blocks that were 70 years earlier than the West, the milk carton with a triangle top, and coffee mix. Amazing, Korea
2. [+3309, -64] Why is Abnormal Summit so funny ㅋㅋㅋ Zhang Yuan had the papyrus disease and he was like "pa... something"
3. [+2642, -49] From a hoobae to a guest to a part-time worker ㅋㅋ
4. [+2129, -37] ㅋㅋㅋ Zhang Yuan and Sami couple
5. [+1807, -31] "That pa something" ㅋㅋㅋ
6. [+868, -19] I was worried because Enes was absent but this was much funnier than anticipated. The Egyptian talks so well and the Egyptian culture is very refreshing. G11 should be permanent and it'd be fun to have a foreign guest
-
Article: [Yesterday TV] 'Abnormal Summit gives opinions and comforts to the concerned Korean men
=====
1. [+3490, -100] I swear, if Hidden Singer and Abnormal Summit were on public broadcasts, they would slay the variety shows at the time slot. If Youth Over Flowers is also on a public broadcast, then Law of the Jungle wouldn't be #1. Some people are saying that Abnormal Summit copied Misuda, but the concept is totally different. Is having foreigners copying? The biggest differences of the two shows are the gender, story, and the studio. Abnormal Summit gets into an entertaining fight if someone has a different opinion but Misuda didn't have this
2. [+2945, -89] Seriously, why do we have to put our pictures on resumes?
3. [+2769, -35] Abnormal Summit members know the structure and the problems of Korean society more than Koreans
4. [+2327, -44] Of course, this show is different because it was under production for five years
5. [+2007, -25] They tell us things that Koreans are missing and we get to see a lot of opinions and criticisms. I'm watching the show with a lot of interests!

Article: [TV Zoomin] 'Abnormal Summit' Egypt Sami, the king of being conservative that exceeds Enes
=====
1. [+2882, -102] Enes' absence was too big... But Sami was funny!
2. [+2619, -41] Abnormal Summit is so well-made ㅋㅋㅋㅋ So funny
3. [+1741, -55] Yeah Egypt is quite conservative!
4. [+1530, -44] Egypt's inventions were fun to hear and he's handsome ㅋㅋ
5. [+1574, -227] This is so funny...
6. [+419, -9] Can someone please talk to Guillaume and Australian Daniel?
-
Article: 'Abnormal Summit' Robin, "I was mistaken as gay in France.. Even my parents were suspicious of me"
=====
1. [+775, -10] Yeah he looks pretty... Well it's not like his country would look down at him, I suppose they could ask him
2. [+641, -7] Abnormal foreigners are all charming
3. [+630, -19] He said this is why he came to Korea ㅠㅠ <3 Julian is getting handsome... He's jjang jjang man after I saw him taking care of Sami
4. [+504, -27] Westerners also like pretty guys. Look at Leonardo DiCarprio for example. When he debuted, he was a flower boy who looked really pretty... The whole world liked him. Korean flower guys are also liked when they go to the West. But they shouldn't be too skinny. If they have a good body, flower looks, and not too long hair, then it'll work
5. [+365, -13] I heard that you'd be mistaken as gay if you have bangs. This is why teen stars like Justin Bieber, One Direction, and Zac Efron got rid of their bangs and built their bodies
-
Article: 'Abnormal Summit' Zhang Yuan "I obtained an announcer license to get hired"
=====
1. [+198, -67] Sometimes, Zhang Yuan is too proud of his country so it's uncomfortable. Especially when they talked about Egypt's papyrus. I think I'd be mad if I was Egyptian. They kept telling him it's papyrus but he kept calling it "pa whatever". It's good to be proud of his country but he should learn to respect other countries, too
2. [+134, -10] It's true that papyrus is not paper. Just look at the school textbooks, they say that China invented paper. Paper is one of China's four inventions. And it's a variety show, the staff didn't cut out the part where Zhang Yuan was apologizing
3. [+126, -55] Zhang Yuan saying "pa whatever" is equivalent to someone calling kimchi "kim whatever" even though they're reminded a lot of times. He's even an announcer, he should respect others. What is he doing right in front of the person?
4. [+21, -0] The fun part is where they fight, why are people so serious? Do you really think Zhang Yuan is looking down at Egypt? They're just making a fight scene of The Yellow River culture and the Nile culture. Did you forget all the good statements from Zhang Yuan? It's only a variety show...
"Paper was invented by Hoo Han and Chae Ryun in China AD 105. Before this, people used stones, metals, clay, animal skin, bones, trees, bamboos, and etc to write things down. The closest thing to paper was Egypt's papyrus. The English word "paper" and other Western words come from "papyrus". Because of this, some say that papyrus is the origin of paper, but it's hard to define it as paper."
The dictionary states this, how is papyrus paper? Sami basically claimed that China's invention was from his country. It's the same as saying "kimuchi is originally from Japan!"
[Abnormal Summit Ep.12] sports + problems of smartphone addiction Article: 'Abnormal Summit' Takuya, "Japanese people are very jealous of Kim Yuna"
=====
1. [+10024, -123] Of course they are
2. [+8068, -109] We already know...
3. [+5317, -92] The articles are coming up so fast...
4. [+4249, -75] Woah the articles are super fast
5. [+3613, -69] Oops...
6. [+1819, -17] Takuya speaks well when they talk about sensitive things. He tries to avoid getting into arguments
-
Article: 'Abnormal Summit' Tyler, "Korea has the fastest Internet speed, only Shindorim station's Internet is slow"
=====
1. [+423, -4] Our country has the fastest Internet speed... It's because the country is small and yet the infrastructure is well-built... Anyways, German Daniel is so likable when he talks. Tyler can sing. He sang Can't Let You Go Even If I Die so well
2. [+279, -10] And the fee is the highest... Phone fees are worse
3. [+225, -4] One of the advantages to live in our country is the fast Internet speed~
4. [+195, -4] There is no other place that has the Internet speed as fast as Korea
5. [+160, -2] Just like our "fast fast" culture, we have the best Internet speed in the world
6. [+61, -1] I laughed so hard when Tall Alberto said Shindorim station still had faster Internet than Italy ㅋㅋㅋ
-
Article: 'Abnormal Summit' Zhang Yuan, "I was upset with the comments that called me a Chink"
=====
1. [+920, -414] But you guys call us 高丽棒子(Chinese term that insults Koreans). Our country is at fault but I don't think your country is any better. Also the fact that they have bad manners at matches
2. [+831, -130] There are always pressed people. There are more people who like Zhang Yuan, hwaiting!!! Abnormal Summit hwaiting!!
3. [+276, -62] Well Chinese people have worse manners than us...
4. [+60, -8] I totally understand why you were upset when you were called a Chink by Koreans. But I hope you also criticized the Chinese people who call Koreans 高丽棒子 on Korean portal sites. Or do you not know what your citizens are doing because of your unique nationalism?
5. [+58, -15] You were called a Chink only by online comments, but when I was in Shanghai, I clearly heard the taxi driver calling me 高丽棒子. Chinese people never realize what they're doing
6. [+53, -17] We all understand when Japanese people call us "josenjing", it's the same with Chinese people. Don't call Chinese chinks... It's so embarrassing to the point I want to sew up their mouth

1. [+521, -37] Don't call Chinese Chinks. Imagine how we'd get mad if we're called "josenjing"
2. [+406, -9] Yesterday's topic was so great. Yoo Se Yoon's MC-ing skills improve every time... The webtoon he makes also points out the problems of smartphones. He gave good opinions and organized the members' opinions well... The reason why the old-styled dramas like Reply are successful is because the current generation misses the analog era... It's a bitter reality where you only look at your phone when you're eating with your friends. Anyways, Abnormal Summit is such a good program
3. [+300, -3] This show is so helpful and good!
4. [+280, -4] I agree with the foreigners a lot and I like how they point out the current generation's problems
5. [+235, -9] Sometimes, it looks scary how all people are looking at their phones in the subway
6. [+88, -7] It was shocking when they said there were no hateful comments in Europe....

6, [+108, -3] Teacher, in Turkey, there's a saying.......
7. [+101, -3] Enes will definitely be a misbehaving student, I feel like he'll be scolding the teacherㅋㅋㅋㅋ talking about Turkish proverbs ㅋㅋㅋFor sure he'll take hold of the class leader role ㅋㅋㅋJulian has a bright personality and is cheerful so he'll fit in well with the students. Myungsoo will probably be caught nappingㅋㅋㅋ
8. [+78, -2] It would be fun if Tyler went tooㅋㅋㅋ
9. [+75, -1] I just see Enes as a Korean person now.
10. [+64, -0] They probably won't be needing teachers for English class
Enes and Robin appeared on Y-STAR's 'Gourmet Road' special Jeonju episode.
When the MCs asked Enes if he feels how popular he is, he said that he "...already filmed for many different ads" Enes went on saying that by the time 'Gourmet Road' airs, he "...might have been done with filming three more ads"
Robin commented that he filmed an ad for a shopping mall and said that "You can probably find my face on the streets"
1. [+6915, -53] Alberto filmed an ad for Mr. Pizza so I hope Robin gets to film one for Paris Baguetteㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
2. [+5162, -55] The Abnormal Summit members are really the trend these days..
3. [+3548, -55] As expected, Enes proving that he's the trendㅋㅋㅋ
4. [+2770, -54] They're really doing well~ㅋㅋㅋㅋLucky for them
5. [+2278, -14] Tyler should film one for an after school or for workbooks
6. [+380, -13] Enes married in the same wedding hall as ours but at that time, he seemed really nice and had manners..he spoke well so he really seemed like a Korean personㅋㅋ
7. [+352, -15] Enes speaks Korean the best!! Aigooㅋㅋ

Japan's Hagino took the gold, China's Sun Yang the silver, and Korea's Park Taehwan the bronze.

7. [+76, -2] Who cares whether it's a gold, silver, or bronze medal ! The only thing that's important is ending a match with no regrets! Taehwan-ie hyung, you worked hard.
8. [+76, -2] I really like Zhang Yuanㅋㅋ Gwiyomiㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ But after Park Taewan placed bronze ㅠㅠthere were articles of him saying that it's tough on him and that he's sorry, it made me choke up a bit.......ㅠㅠwhy does he have to feel sorry if he doesn't place gold... there's a reason silver and bronze medals are given out....ㅠI was actually really thankful towards him~Rather than worrying about medal colors, we should focus more on the festivity of the event ㅠㅠ
Interview: Julian and Tyler (Abnormal Summit)
Q: Is there anything that changed after you came on broadcast?
Tyler: I have less time to study. I try to avoid the study rooms because I'm afraid the sunbaes will order me around in English. Also, a lot of people recognize me when I go study in cafes.
Julian: Just going out, pictures are being taken of me. I don't know if it's different because 9 years have passed, or because it was through the show, but I feel like people have become more friendlier. They don't just ruthlessly take pictures of me but asks me gently.
Q: What are the reactions of the foreigner friends around you?
Julian: When foreigners say they're having fun watching me, it makes me feel good. They said foreigners used to come out on shows with a clown-like feel, so it's nice seeing us on a show that talks about social problems such as same-sex marriage.
Tyler: There are two sides. Some say they watch it optimistically, but others question whether they can trust me on a show. There are also skeptical people that think that I'm making different kinds of biased opinions. The most fun part is that I can talk about really important things while laughing.
Q: Why is this show popular?
Julian: It's not common to see a debate program in Korea. In Belgium, it's normal to have a program that talks about things like politics, but I think there hasn't been any programs like that. It doesn't have to be all heavy and serious, it can be done in a fun way. It's also fresh. Before, only Sam Hammington spoke Korean well, but now, all 11 do.
Tyler: There are times when really fresh comments are said. It's also funny. It seems hard to maintain that balance when we're all talking so freely. The staff are really amazing because they edit what we say in a way that still delivers our points across and keeps it alive. Because of them, we are able to see the various points of our discussion.
Q: Why did you decide to join the show?
Tyler: I was searching for part-time jobs in my international school site. I saw the JTBC ad looking for foreign students and thought about joining. It was a time when I needed money. When I went to take the interview, it was 1-12. I wondered if it was that important. It was a place where I could talk freely.
Julian: I learned about it because someone I knew worked in the casting related field. I drank a lot the day before and was less alert, but I went in for the interview with Robin (France). Before broadcast, the questions came, but they were so obvious with stuff about your first impression of Korea, so I thought it wouldn't be fun. After the first broadcast, I changed my mind that the show would do well. I went on a lot of programs in Korea, but I never had so much fun in one.
Tyler: There's a rumor amongst the foreign students. One Mongolian student came on broadcast. The staff asked if they ride a lot on horses in Mongolia but they said that only happens in the countryside. The staff then said they must say that they do instead, so they did in the end. There are a lot of Mongolian students in Korea and so I became skeptical around broadcasts that formed prejudices. I also worried whether it would be okay for me to come on this show. But we talk really freely. It feels like we're talking about topics that come up in the bar.
Q: Did you feel any burden because you were representing your own country?
Julian: Even though there were a lot of things I knew, as time went by, I became unsure about the more recent Belgium so I talk a lot with my family. The thoughts are my own, but everything I say are true. Belgium is the 2nd country to legalize same-sex marriage, and allows euthanasia. It is an open country, but there are people that are even more conservative than Enes (Turkey). I try to present the facts and have tasteful opinions when I talk.
Tyler: I think it would be so fun if a Californian, Texan, and New Yorker came to have a debate. (laughs). Zhang Yuan (China) once said this. If you talk poorly on broadcast in Korea, about 40~50 million people get angry but in China, 1.4 billion people do. It must be burdensome. There're two things. The first is that I don't know where America really is. Not that I don't know where it is, geographically, but it's hard to know where the Eastern and the Western sides stands. Currently, 35% of America uses Spanish. It's slowly changing. The second thing is about politics; it's hard to talk about those kinds of things because I don't really know much about the federal system.
Q: Don't you become more careful with your words since there are articles on everything you guys say? It seems like you guys get excited during the debates.
Tyler: I don't become careful. I trust the PDs. It's like how in music, there are some instruments that are not heard; in conversations, there needs to be listeners as well. There are times when everyone gets excited, but there also needs to be someone who's quietly listening. I'm usually a really excitable person, but I refrain myself. I kick under the table. (laughs)
Q: Unexpectedly, except for a few countries, the social ranking culture didn't seem to bother anyone.
Julian: I thought a lot about it, but we are foreigners living in Korea. You get fired if you oppose it, especially as a worker. Foreigners are always special people. There are not as many foreigners that suffers company dinners as much as Koreans.
Tyler: How should I say it. I think it's good not to talk much about Korea. We're not there as Korean representatives, nor is it a place place for us to talk about Korea, so I think it's right to just talk about our own issues. The point of the show isn't to judge things about Korea.
Q: There are not much Southeast Asian people to be part of the panelist.
Tyler: There are a lot of Mongolian and Vietnamese workers in Korea but those that are in Korea can not keep up with the pace of our discussions. It's not an intellectual problem but an economical problem. It's hard to find someone that studies in Korea.
Q: The show also gets compared to KBS <Chitchat with Beauties (Misuda)>.
Julian: They mostly talked about Korea. We don't. If we criticize Korea, we'll be called too open or too conservative. It's satisfying because we get to talk about our own country's ways.
Tyler: When female foreign students get questioned by professors, they always get asked whether they're going to marry a Korean. Due to that situation, when they talk in Korean, they're bound to talk about men. There are lots to talk about, but it was a shame that they focused on shallow topics.
Q: What kind of country is Korea to foreigners living here?
Julian: I think it's a time where the social culture is changing. In Belgium, changes are always occurring. I think it's nice how I can take the role of changes here.
Tyler: I agree 100% There are a lot of possibilities. Especially things that foreigners can do. The culture has double standards. We are able to get rid of those. It's not necessary to completely change the ways, but a person who can test the waters. I think that kind of person will be able to succeed in 10 years time.
2. [+13, -0] Julian seems to have a good personality and he livens up the atmosphere well and is also plentiful in emotions... I like smart Tyler as well.. hit more daebak the both of you!
3. [+8, -0] What a nice article. It was fun to read.
4. [+6, -0] It's really fun watching Abnormal Summit'!! I learn about a lot of things and get to hear about different opinions. Every time I tune in, it's different and I feel like I'm receiving a large present?? A fulfilling kind of feeling.. I like each and every member
5. [+0, -10] They're good at speaking Korean but what kind of noise is that I hear of people saying that they talk better than Koreans.ㅋㅋㅋ Saying that they speak better than Koreans is freaking funny so why are you matching to them? And honestly, the panelists seem like Chinese spies ㅋㅋㅋ
Q: There are not much Southeast Asian people to be part of the panelist.
Tyler: There are a lot of Mongolian and Vietnamese workers in Korea but those that are in Korea can not keep up with the pace of our discussions. It's not an intellectual problem but an economical problem. It's hard to find someone that studies in Korea.
sedih aku.. x der SEA yg intelektual dan bijak tok join program ni? huuhuh! kan best kalau ada wakil dr Malaysia and muslim~
