외국인들이 한국인이 되고 싶어하는 진짜 이유 | 왜 사람들은 다시 한국으로 돌아올까 | 귀화 이유 TOP 5 #한국귀화 #대한민국 #귀화이유 #외국인귀화

"Korea? Is that the South or the North?" This is the question a mother in Azerbaijan, on the other side of the globe, asked her daughter 30 years ago. Back then, this country was a small peninsula barely visible on the world map. However, 30 years have passed. In 2025 alone, 11,344 people renounced the citizenship of their birthplace and acquired South Korean citizenship. This number has increased by more than 40 times compared to the approximately 30 people who did so 30 years ago. Leaving the United States, Canada, and Europe behind, why are people returning to this small peninsula? Why are they leaving their birthplace behind and changing their passport color to blue, saying they want to live on this land until they die? ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ The story prepared by Hongsi Channel today is the five reasons why foreigners have chosen South Korea as their homeland. The reason a young man from Mississippi fell in love with the Busan dialect, the reason a Belarusian horn player created and adopted a new surname called 'Hanyang Lee,' the reason four generations of Americans born in Suncheon have made this peninsula their home. And the story of how things we took for granted—things we didn't even realize were something to be proud of—were reasons powerful enough for those people to change their homeland. Please listen comfortably now. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 📌 Contents of Today's Video 00:00 Opening – 11,344 Blue Passports 02:30 Part 1. My Mother Thought a War Was Breaking Out 06:30 Part 2.
