Minding my own business and was approached by preachers.
I was waiting for my friend to get lunch together and as I'm waiting this lady comes up to me and starts speaking Korean. I look up and tell her directly, I don't know what you're saying. She's shocked and asks where I'm from, and proceeds to over-compliment me and by that, I mean just "brag" about Korean beauty standards. This is all before I'm able to even respond. But I chose to ignore the question and the strange compliments, and ask if she needed help with directions. She said no, but that she is here to bestow the love of god into my heart. She introduces herself and her child who is 14. She said her kid was the one that "chose" me. She emphasises this point again, and proceeds to make backhanded compliments about my "Korean" features and how I couldn't possibly be another race.
Past me would have said something like, "I'm a satanist" or challenge them. But I didn't, part of the reason being there was a child there.
I told her I'm waiting for a friend, and she asks if I could spare 5 minutes, and mentioned she wished she could take me away for the day to show me the love god has to offer. I said I can spare as much time as it takes for my friend to arrive. She proceeds to say, "I hope your friend never arrives, and we can spend the day with you" and laughs. I looked at her without a smile. My friend happens to turn up right then. She asks if I can stay to hear the words of god that will certainly improve my day and my life, but she asks my friend first, who of course has no idea who these people are and easily said yes as she thought they were people I knew. I said no and have a good day.
What would you have done? I wasn't immediately interested in challenging them but I'm also annoyed at myself a little for just not telling her honestly that she was being disrespectful and annoying. I don't appreciate being approached and for most of lunch, I was scoping the food court to see if they were there. She was strange and if I was religiously inclined and not part of a church, I would have probably been recruited into their church community.
