I am intrigued. Their accent is so good. I'm part Korean and they put me to shame. Mind you, they almost certainly learned it from a young age.
I think its nice to see people from farther west a product of the eastern culture. We are so used to seeing the opposite that I find this reverse example very interesting.

I remember watching a documentary where they showed a Russian area in Busan. Maybe these girls came from over there?

Those girls annoy the living daylights out of me.
I really don't know who they are, but I see them everywhere on TV here in Korea. I think they're part of a larger group of people who just happen to speak Korean very very well and so get jobs playing English-speaking people on some exquisitely bad TV show (if they speak Korean well, their English leaves lots to be desired).
Anyway, besides that, they have an obsession for making youtube videos to show everyone how well they speak Korean.
Yeah, I just don't like them. But good link, thanks for sharing!

The boy sitting behind the girl said in Russian: "Keep in mind, one films you now!"

There's a decent sized Russian population in Seoul and Busan. One area in Busan even has Russian writing on/in stores and such.

Rofl...you can't stand them because they speak a language well? Sounds like a lose-lose situation.
In other news: Какие очеревательные девчонки! Я так хочу поехать в Россию. And that little kid at the end is gonna be a ladykiller when he gets older. Good-looking people...

The girl on the far right looks like a Kazakh-Russian woman I acted in a tv commercial with here in Seoul in September. I think it's her. I remember being very impressed by her Korean in person.
