외국인........
I've noticed something when watching certain Korean tv-shows. When Koreans are in another country they sometimes refer to the others in that country as "외국인". So, does "외국인" have the meaning of "non-korean" in such cases?

It's that some people aren't aware of where they are, or who they are.
While living in 서울 for a while, some western friends of mine have said that they didn't like 홍대 because there were a lot of 외국인 over there. I knew they meant "other westerners" with it but semantically I'd be fallen into the "외국인" category as well.
It's like the saying "It's not what you say, it's how you say it".
