Samuel Okyere (born April 21, 1991) is a Ghanaian television personality active in South Korea and Ghana. He was accepted to the Korean Government Scholarship Program in 2009 and moved to Korea for his studies.He was a cast member in the JTBC talk show Non-Summit.
Sam Okyere first said, "The Korean word that I loved the most since I started learning Korean after coming to South Korea in 2009 was 'Woori' (meaning 'We'). But I wonder if 'woori' applies to someone like me of color."
He then opened up about the racism he faced, saying, "When I tell people that I'm from Africa, I get a lot of startling questions like, 'Do you grow a lion at your house?' I get it so often that now I just respond by saying that my father has two lions. That's how much Koreans are unknowledgeable about Black people and Africa."
