They might not take chances and would flatly deny entry to you if they aren't sure of your nationality.

Yes. It’s rather quietly open. I went to Seoul in Aug this year. I saw Chinese national looking shock. I looked back, got this Korean chap, carrying a placard poster, walking around. Message was rather anti Chinese sentiments

my friend and his wife went seoul years ago and when go buy cosmetics, the sales girls will think they are little pinks and serve them with black face. the moment hear them speak eng with sinkie accent immediately 180 degree attitude change

and this was roughly 15-18 years ago if i recall? so these anti sentiments have been existing for a long time in korea liao

Some taiwanese went to an extent of buying a badge that said "I am from Taiwan" and pin it to their bags when they travel to Korea...

i think compared to japanese, koreans dont hide their true feelings as much so they arent afraid to reveal despite backlash

i was in seoul couple of years back myself and was chatting with the taxi driver on my way from airport. at one point he also expressed how annoyed he is with china tourists and how loud they are

i didnt want to fan the flames so i just said oh ok and switch topics

Koreans, esp elderly, will be very chatty and nice to you if you can speak a little bit of Korean language.

I was watching youtube videos.
I realised that PRC youtubers love to complain and diss at Asia countries and "quarrel" with the locals.
But when they go to those angmoh countries, all became diam diam...

Yup. Those Korean elderly love kids and will try to "communicate" with them especially if they think that they are pretty/handsome.

The old ladies are typically friendlier. I cant say the same for the old uncles. Their attitude are atrocious.
