![[Prank] Will Koreans Notice If Identical Twins SWITCH Places?](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/nmNnQ-DNze4/mqdefault.jpg)
For those that don't know who this guest is, she is the daughter of legendary comic book artist Jim Lee, who is the Publisher and Chief Creative Officer of DC Comics.
Wow!!!
Jim Lee is like the evil boss from "My Mister".
And one of if not the best comic book artists of all time!
Okay but why did she say she’s half American? It’s nationality not ethnicity, unless she’s half real Native American. Why is that every mixed person with white parent be like, “I’m half Australian, Half Canadian, Half American, Half New Zealander etc”
When their white parent is NOT indigenous at all!! Just say which ethnicity because why they said half American and half Korean/Chinese, Thai, etc but their white parent is American, but if it’s other non-white Americans, they never said half American. They be like Half Eritrean half Chinese, but is American citizen for example.
omg i love his artwork! he's the only reason i like the new 52 lol...
I’m also mixed raced and hearing her say learning both languages of her family is important to her is inspiring me to do the same.
“I have to learn the language no matter what”
@@0xyGen_2.p0 not everyone is taught lol
Thats right please do because its really important!!!
People are still so prejudiced about mixed race people. "They arent 100%..... so what?
@@0xyGen_2.p0 I'm mixed Irish english and Caribbean... I get stress from all three of those... you're not pure english or Irish because you are brown skin... you're not black cos your mum is white... it's so jarring
@@0xyGen_2.p0 oh most definitely there are great advantages.. it took me a while to get to grips with my identity. But now I couldn't wish for anything better. I adore both cultures and indulge in them fully! It makes me a chameleon and I love ittttt! Ignorance is bliss for some... but that's them. I love who i am.. it took a while but I'm here now. I'm grateful for the journey.
Not fitting in either culture (or the perception of that) is probably one of the worst parts of being mixed. Knowing the languages definitely helps with dealing with those feelings
Yes yes yes yes yes.....💔
I'm Mexican American I hate when I'm around Mexican people and say you act more American etc, then when I'm with american people they say you're more Mexican and still idk what side I'm more but I'm both and that's my final answer I'm mixed that's it.
She's overthinking it jus b both I'm Chinese, nd Alaskan Native, nd Black but identify as Alaskan Native you realize you can b all of them no one is stopping you
#YOLO
@@SeaSeaGoddess1992 shes not overthinking anything. to say words don't affect you is false we are human beings and everything we are is emotions. you can say you own both but if there are people (like she said) saying things like "you speak well for a foreigner" or "you don't look like us" it can take a toll on how you perceive yourself. and I also think it depends on the way one looks and how open-minded their culture is. your culture may be more "forgiving"
Im Japanese and German and definitely relate to that
I’m half Russian half Chinese, so this video is so relatable to me. In both countries I feel like a foreigner. Even tho I accept both of my sides, but sometimes it’s difficult to connect with other Russian or Chinese people. My boyfriend is Korean, and in Korea so many people said that I look 100% Korean. I think I finally found my home where I can feel comfortable
So you livin Korea??
@@ga5835 no 😭 just travel
Hey that's cool, I'm half Ukrainian and half Chinese
I have met people from all over the world, some mixed, some not, and I have reached the conclusion that we are really all the same. There are 7500 varieties of apples in the world, but they are all apples, and we are all humans. A hug is good in any culture, and turning your back on someone is always bad, anywhere...we all want to be respected, appreciated, and even loved for who we are. So far in my almost 35 years that is the conclusion I have reached.
Rokmin, I am 70 years old and agree with your analogy.
@@matthewgraham2546 thank you sir
I totally agree with you. I was born and raised in Jamaica where the races and culture haved been mixed for hundreds of years due to colonialism. The motto of our country is ' Out of many , one nation '. I am not saying that we are perfect but , after living for over fifty years where I haved lived in several countries and now in Europe, I see Jamaicans are more tolerance towards races. They will treat you with kindness but ,should you draw the ' race-card ' you will be punished. What I don't like is the ' colourisium ' where by some thinks the lighter skin tone regardless of what mixed you are a more beautiful ( which is not always the case in my opinion ). I haved also often be told that I am pretty for a black woman. And one thing that is true for Jamaicans that grows up to an age where critical thinking is developed is, no matter the race when asked where there are from , proudly say Jamaica and not say ,I an Chinese, Spanish, Indians or so Jamaicans but just Jamaicans.
I wish more people would think this way.
@@celianeher7637
What you said was beautifully stated except for the part about colorism the most and the worst thing in Jamaica is classism, not colorism. I don't mean to sound bad but the people who suffer from colorism in Jamaica are the people you will say come from the lower class, I don't know the reason why but it affects them a lot. However it is true Jamaicans that grow up to an age where critical thinking is developed, no matter the race when asked where there are from they proudly say Jamaica and do not say, I am Chinese, Spanish, Indian or so but proudly say I am a Jamaican. Even if you ask what race are you, they will say that they are Jamaican and the main reason why is that the word race does not make sense and because when people talk about black, white, etc... people they seem like they're only referring to American people, especially for the race that you called the black race, it seems like they're only referring to Black Americans.
I like how that girl really respects her Korean side and had the thought that she should learn Korean too as she's half Korean. Amazing respect from her to her other half language Korean.🙂
As a half Korean half Norwegian who grew up in Norway, but studied in Korea for 3 years this video is so funny and relatable.
oi, same
@@jennylh1784 😃
Holy!!! She's Jim Lee's daughter. What a surprise! Now that it's mentioned you can see the resemblance, especially the face structure, and she's so pretty.
For the young people. Jim Lee is the legendary comic artist. Now he works for DC, but he really gained popularity in the 90s working for Marvel. The popular 90s X-Men cartoon was a big hit and Jim Lee was a big part in the overall look of the characters because he redesigned their outfits to the now classic blue and yellow look.
I was a huge fan of his X-Men comics in the 90s and I have his WildC.A.T.S comics 1-6 ;) Jim Lee sold the most comic EVER with that X-Men #1 in the 90s, others don't even come close
I respect her a *LOT.* Someone who perhaps by most accounts, had a pretty set life in the US to go out and discover her roots as Korean, separate from the rest of her family.
Not only did she learn Korean to this fluent level (the first, very high bar), but also started to live in Korea to discover what is half her identity. And even to the point of potentially exchanging her US citizenship for a Korean one? That is a major, MAJOR commitment to the culture that few can match.
I feel the way about my half Chinese roots, so this is nothing short of absolutely inspiring for me. Thank you for sharing.
I love her outlook on it though! And I love that she plans to naturalize, it shows that she's really solidified in herself that she is Korean and wants to engage with that culture. I hope she lives a happy life and stays proud of who she is.
If she solidified herself, why do you speak of her as a foreigner like she’s still just pretending real hard to be Korean? We are Korean. That’s the end of it. So speak as such. If you can trace it in our blood… if we yearn for Korea bc of it and feel what “Han” is…. Then nobody should speak like we are separate from the “한” in 대한민국. -恨
I have a nephew who is mixed race so these are issues he will face as he gets older. HeeJae, SeungWoo and Seungri challenged each other in a good way on what it means to be Korean. Being mixed race doesn’t mean you can’t embrace language and cultural identity. Glad Seungri chose for herself.
So so true.
As a mixed race young adult, I will tell you that the absolute most important thing is to make sure they learn both languages growing up.
Not "oh we'll do it later" or sit down and teach it, but just naturally speak to them in both languages, all the time, growing up
In addition to bilingualism being an incredible asset in life, not knowing the language of half of your family (usually the non-English side) can feel so incredibly isolating an devastating (to some) even if the child thinks they don't want to learn it at the time...
I think most mixed-race children have identity issue because were there were grown and the parents who grow them🤔
being half east asian and half latina this hits home. In america I am considered asian or mixed asian and in asia I am like either fetished or limitedly accepted ? being mixed is not easy but I love my cultures. But with that being said ....I was raised more with my asian father in asia so I made the efforts to adapt and connect more with my asian culture as an adult.
Im half Asian and half Latina too, so I completely understand you.
Uff being what they called “latino”, or more or more accurately from México center and South America it’s already in must of the cases mixted race so thats must be a lot of culture to discovering 🤩🤩🤩🤩
basically fillipina. 😅 It's all good, just accept your fate.
I’m Asian and Latina too. I understand
@@shad0wCh8ser doesn’t that completely dismiss our experiences as a mixed Asian and Latina living in America? Lol. Not equivalent to being Filipino
I can totally relate to this girl. In Germany (where I was born and raised) I‘m the turkish girl and in the turkey I‘m german.. So I was never welcomed in both countries.
Don't see it as a rejection from your both countries... you're enriched by cultural diversity. You're citizen of the world - the future. I told that to my kids and because their culture and ethnic backgrounds they learn many languages and very much equipped with many cultural knowledge. it's natural in our family to speak more than 2 languages. my kids speak 4 languages. I think you probably speak 3 languages - English,german and turkish?... Embrace your genetic privilege. Most mixed children are prettier and smarter because of genetic cocktail.
@@wmmv2019 thank you for your kind words.. So happy to hear about this. Bless you! ❤️
@@gizostn8891 you're welcome 😊 take care and have a blessed day 🙌
Being half-russian, half-korean, I always felt like I don't completely fit into mentalities of these countries. But try to think of it this way: you took the best traits of both countries and can turn it into something new and magical, having a broader perception of the world without any boundaries and making better decisions
It made me a little sad to hear their answers. Being told I don’t look like or don’t belong to a community of people because I don’t look purely like them.., I’m spilt 50/50 between races and many people have asked my mother if I was adopted because I look nothing like her. My children will be even more mixed then me, I hope they have a better fate..
Poor girl wants to naturalize and they're all like oh no she doesn't look Korean lol
To be fair, If you weren't born in Korea (or have even lived there), don't speak the language, and you're only half Korean ethnically speaking. How Korean are you really?
@he2295 I mean.,. What ., they should lie to her and say she looks Korean when even from her skull shape and side profile, she doesn’t look fully asian?
@@daano465 genetically you're 50% korean in that case
@@Fartsquad_ she does look very asian though, not all half asian people look that asian
I wanted to hug her! Felt like she really needed a friend! What a wonderful person she was, I enjoyed hearing her story very much.
One of the best duos on this channel, I love them 😂
This made me realize that not everyone has the same sort of identity crisis that mixed people do. For me I’ve been dealing with it for as long as I remember and subconsciously was under the assumption that everyone felt this way but now I realize some people don’t even think twice about their identity or are worried that their own culture won’t accept them…..wild
One of the best videos this channel has done. Please consider doing more fascinating content like this than the generic stuff everyone does. Your channel can really stand out this way.
I relate to her so, so much, I'm a little bit overwhelmed right now... 😅
Having an identity crisis that your sibling(s) can't relate to,
Wondering if I gave any right at all to call myself half-Mexican if I can't speak the language...
I would so love to just sit down and have a long, long conversation with her... This really spoke to me. Thank you AwesomeWorld!
I feel the exact same way 😟
I also have siblings that don't seem as concerned to connect to our east Asian side, but seem to be a lot more concerned about our Mexican side.
Everyone here in the USA assumes I'm Asian, but Koreans don't cause I don't look Korean enough. When I say my name everyone gets confused and asks if I'm Latina, but then says I'm not really cause I can't speak Spanish well. Everyone treats me as white, when I'm not??
Her statement of feeling like she doesn't belong anywhere hits hard.
But I love both sides and want to connect to both sides, so I'm trying hard to learn both languages. I know it won't really change peoples opinions of me.. but at least it'll be a little easier. Or, hopefully it will just help ME to feel confident when I say I'm Korean AND Mexican....
@@WitchySelene Oh man, I feel you Selene, I feel you...❤️❤️
You're not alone-- we got this! :)
@@stuckintheblackholeofkpop2043 thanks 🥺💜
@@WitchySelene ❤️❤️
I can kind of understand her as a mixed person myself but I never felt linked to either side's ancestry or culture... I've always just felt that I'm a human, but not that either side's past culture or race/ethnicity had any meaning to me as an individual. That being said, like she mentions other people can still treat you strangely depending on what they think you look like and that's been very common in my USA home country.
I think she wants to live in a country that views her as closest to their ideal beauty standard. She has no problem fitting in to the major cosmopolitan areas of the US, she's gorgeous. She doesn't just want to fit in, she wants to also stand astride.
I'm not of mixed race but I can totally relate to this. My great grandparents (and ancestors) were from India hence my Indian appearance. My grandparents, parents and I myself were born in Surinam. I've been living in the Netherlands since I was a teenager and for 31 years now. In my opinion this frequently asked question "where are you from?" is hard to answer.
@@zetavalentine you guys use that word over there? wow in the usa it's considered very offensive to use it. cultural differences. interesting!
@@zetavalentinenot even biracial or multiracial?
@@zetavalentine ohh wow!! as an Indian I love this term " coloured" over being called brown. Everyone doesn't fit when they call us brown 😂 like what will ppl like us who have fairer skin or darken skin than brown or sharper features or mongolid like east asian will do. Coloured sounds more inclusive.
Im indian American and like the term colored more also.
being half german and half thai , I relate to this so much. My mom who is thai never teaches me thai though I still feel more connected to the thai culture. In germany I’ve sometimes also gotten a few racist comments and in thailand everyone or a lot actually spoke to me in thai. I feel like I have to fit into the asian and western beauty standard at the same hence I developed a kind of body dismorphia . My dream is to move to thailand in the future and get to learn the language !!!
OMG, when i see her father i snapped, it's Jim lee, her dad is the godfather of US comics, batman superman x-men etc, this is crazy.
girl i relate to you SO much, i’m korean (whole family tree is) but i’m the only one born in singapore. growing up in local schools, my english was way better than my korean. (i can understand korean but i’m not able to read it like quickly e.g. watching movies, and sometimes i don’t understand when my parents talk). during holidays, we visit our relatives in korea but i don’t understand them and i feel so insecure of it. many times i just wish i was born in korea and was good at the language like all my other family members. i felt so excluded. but knowing that you also went through something similar to this, i will also try to improve my korean :) thank you for this video
I just got back from Korea today and it is very interesting to be immersed in a homogenous society where ethnicity and nationality are tied together for most people's identities. I love trying new things and meeting new people so I can always continue to grow and expand my point of view towards the world.
You know that's like almost every country in the world :). Indigenous people are mostly the majority of a countries' population.
As a half Asian girl, myself (Half British and Thai) I relate 100% to what she is saying in the video especially with her identifying with her Asian roots more and with the identity issues etc. I don't live in Thailand at the moment but whenever it's the summer holidays I go every year with my family to Thailand and from my experience going there it's been overall pretty positive, and I got a lot of people telling me I'm "sai" (idk how to spell it in English sorry) which means beautiful in Thai and also people looking at me etc. However, I am a very pale skinned Luk kreung (mixed) and I know I haven't experienced living there as a whole and I know that some people experiences might not be as good as mine whether its due to having a tanner complexation etc. I'm just speaking from my experience, and I have noticed a lot with half Asian that they have a more positive experience in their western country but for me I have not. And I like this video even more because I can 100% relate to her not fitting it and I never felt at home and identified with my British side. And I'm speak 100% fluently in English and I have a British accent, but I still go to school in the Uk and was born there so some could say I'm pretty westernized but I'm not really. And with the school thing I also like this girl in the video have experienced racism inside school and not in school and people thinking and saying I'm Chinese, Japanese or Korean and then there are people just saying racist things to me all the time like Ching Chong, chinxs, do I eat dogs. My experience overall is weird because before and even to this day I literally only know a couple simple things in Thai like counting to 1-20 and saying hello but that's barely anything yet the people in Thailand were so friendly. Yet I was born in the Uk and have been to school there and I'm fluent in the language, yet I have experienced so much racism and have not had such a good experience.
I am half Italian, quarter Irish and quarter English. I can not fully relate to the pain that you might go through and the identity issues. I grew being call the Italy kid but honestly turning to God help me a lot and finding your partner would help. If you embrace the Thai or English side when dating and when get marry and have children they will be mostly one side or the other and will not have as much problem with identity. Since they will be 75% and look like their friends. I have many friends who are mix euro-asian marrying a pure European or Asian and being much more happier.
Anyway I wish you the best.
@@johncalabro8710 TYSM! 🥰 Luckily now I have left school so I don't experience that horrible stuff to me anymore!
I love her and I love how she said that we should stretch out the standard and not define people's nationality just by their appearence or judgements
this video has very strong message and it's true the more languages you speak the better we can understand each other. It needed strength from the lady to go and explore her roots. Fighting!
wow she is very kind and she is correct in her acknowledging she is korean.
Next get a half Korean that is mixed with black or a brown person and ask the same questions. I would truly like to know what they think and how they feel treated by Koreans. Thanks great 👍 episode. 👏👏💯😊
Han hyunmin
People are immature, naive, one-dimensional and obtuse and are frankly not ready for that kind of conversation.
There was a video with a teenage blasian girl but on another channel. The mixed girls name is queenie? And she has a CZcams channel as well
Queenie! I know she’s talked abt this a lot with people seeing she’s black first and not really acknowledging she’s also korean
Thank you Awesome world , this was one of the best and most interesting videos I have seen on this channel for a long time .
Nice,I'm so happy whenever I see a notification of Awesome world,I love you so much
from Rwanda in Africa
4:25 Her FATHER is Korean!!!!!
That is a game-changer! Now I view this entire view and her differently!
She's brave and strong for talking about her difficulties with racism. I hope she feels better getting it off her chest. To me people is just people. I wish her well in life. Thank you for making this video. Racism can only be stopped by us.
Well she is stunning.
The guy that told her she is pretty for an Asian is nuts, everywhere there is beautiful people. And Asian girls are pretty AF.
People of mixed races often look prettier than both parents. Genetics is an interesting thing.
I don't think so. I have seen a lot of mix race people who look Fk up
selection bias. they're only showing you the relatively good looking ones
She also looked like she could be from the middle east, such as Iran or Egypt. Heejae always looks absolutely beautiful :)
egypt is in africa for goodness sakes
@@WWrsa yes it is. My comment was....she looks Asian but she also looks middle eastern due to her western features and dark hair
@@WWrsa Have you tried to cross the Sahara desert?
“Wherever I go, I feel like a stranger” I relate to that phrase so much
Kudos to her for all she said. I felt the exact same as her regarding language, identity and roots. Although maybe not naturalizing lol. But I still have family in Korea I’ve never met.
This is one of the most interesting videos on Awesome World for me. I actually teared up hearing about her experience against racism and identity crisis
As a biracial person myself, I can totally relate to the identity crisis thing
I really appreciated this video. As a Korean adoptee I would love to see an interview of a Korean adoptee raised outside Korea…
I was born in Philippines speaking Tagalog and bisaya then came to the US when I was 8. I’m 22 now and honestly I feel like I belong more in the US since I grew up here. Never have I ever had an identity crisis where I thought I don’t belong in America and that my roots as a Filipino is important enough to move back. It honestly depends for each person. US was created by immigrants so once you get the US citizenship, you are as American as those that were born here.
the" identity crisis" most of the time only got the usa people because they want to belong to some group every time .
You both are looking so cute ☺️
My heart dropped when I heard the questions. These kinds of questions are so othering, but I know the point was to elicit those answers from the two guests. I’m half Asian and half ashkenazi Jewish. I can’t even tell you how many times I’ve been told that my ethnicity is weird, been asked if my family eats cat, heard Holocaust jokes, etc. Seungri, hats off to you for going out of your way to learn about your heritage and learn to speak the language so fluently! Honestly, most people have no idea how hard it is to fight to access your own culture WHILE people are constantly telling you that you don’t belong. You’re an inspiration for all of us mixed people. Thank you for sharing your story. You were so composed in an interview with exclusively triggering questions for us mixed folk. You’re awesome 😊
I’m half Korean half Japanese, and whenever I mentioned it (especially towards Korean communities), they give an awkward or shocked reaction. It especially must have been difficult for my mother who is the Korean but was born and raised in Japan, so even our relatives find her as not being “real Korean”.
Oh my gosh in all honesty same here! As someone who is also half Korean half Japanese I’ve had those similar experiences too!
koreans face a lot of bullying and passive aggresive racism in japan. and japanese the same in korea.
Same here! I'm also 한일혼혈 born and raised in Japan, and part of my Korean family is also from Japan ( since my grandma generation) but I grew up in the Korean community so my family in Japan don't identify as japanese but Koreans in Japan even if we wanted to japanese would never accept them as japanese, but in my case I've always seen myself as japanese since when I was a kid and decided to always go by my japanese name outside the family! It's kinda complicated but I feel much more rejected by koreans than japanese, even though I was born with Korean citizenship and I'm still a Korean citizen, Koreans don't wanna know about any of this to them I'm just japanese since I'm originally from Japan! Recently I moved to America and the Korean community here is even more complicated than the ones from Korea lol so now I don't even say I'm also Korean anymore I just introduce myself as japanese but I don't really like it because I see myself as japanese Korean now after so many years trying to be only japanese !
Whooooaaaa Jim Lee absolute Legend and favorite comic book artist of mine.
OMG!!! I recognized her famous father immediately. Of course, I've been reading comics since I was three.
I have two older sisters who aren’t too interested in Korea either, and I came to Korea for the same reason as the guest in the show. I resonate a lot with her feelings about frequent questions we receive and how she identified with both sides of her ethnicities ❤
와 너무 좋다ㅋㅋㅋ 아 진짜 너무 재밌다!!! Actually I'm half and half too so I can relate ㅎㅎ 고마워!!💙
I love the challenge in this one.
I am multiracial too. my birth father was half french and half spanish ecuadorian and my mother is half native ecuadorian and half chinese. So explaining my ethnicity and race to monoracial people is hard because they don't understand. Everyone wants sexuality, race, gender, ethnicity, etc in a particular box and if they don't know what box you go in, they can get confused or even sometimes hostile. I know what she means about never fitting in. I am all at the same time but none completely and that can be lonely. But at the same time being multiracial is a gift I wouldn't change. I think we see the world from a unique and sometimes more objective view than people who are very separated from others that way in never knowing life from a different race's point of view.
Appreciated this topic so much! I have a biracial family (my daughter is white/Chinese).
Though I’m not mixed race, I can totally relate. I’m a South asian born, living in the Netherlands since I was raised here and then having moved to England and then back again I also struggle with identity. When other’s from other countries ask where I am from and I say the Netherlands, they always say but you don’t look Dutch, when I am in Pakistan, they don’t consider me full pakistani but more a foreigner too. It’s always a struggle and it feels like you don’t belong anywhere because people won’t accept it. Luckily I live in a very multicultural city so there are many people like me. It’s still a struggle though.
Omo heejae unniiiiiiii 😍💜
I like awesome world contents 👍👍
Contents like this brings cultures together. I would love to see all cultures of the world here if that's possible 🙂
Wow that’s cool. The half korean lady’s father is Jim Lee who is a well known comic illustrator especially for DC comics
This is great content 👍🏻
This video is very relatable, being half Korean and half Cuban. I have always felt that I don't really fit in anywhere, moreover since I was born and raised in Sweden. What I struggled with the most was explaining that I don't speak Korean because my mother (who is Korean) grew up in the Sovietunion which is the reason I speak Russian instead of Korean. Such Koreans are referred to as koryo-saram (고려사람) btw.
wow... that was so interesting to watch! Even I sometimes have an identity crisis and like my family is all Chinese but having had grown and born in Spain sometimes I don't feel 100% Spanish nor 100% Chinese ...
i'm mixed in a way.. and many will have dealt with this too. i'm hispanic, but raised in usa. my mom spoke spanish, dad english... to each other, simulatneously understanding each other... so when i was a kid, i heard 2 languages at the exact same time. my parents said i barely talked at all, until i started school, where english was of course the language used, in usa. one perk of this is... when there is a movie with subtitles, no matter the language, i listen and read simultaneoulsy, and its as if i am fully understanding the foreign language on screen. i forget im even reading the subs lol...
uh, no ones gonna mention that Seungri is Jim Lee's daughter?!?!?!
I was sad all day and now I am happy 😊 you guys are so cute
it's times like these i can feel how different the thinking is in korea as far as what can be accepted and what is almost "rejected" or turned away... i watched a video once of a korean person doing 23&me and i remember they didn't like that they had a small amount of dna that wasn't from korea. i grew up in america, where everyone loves having diverse backgrounds, and my parents are from afghanistan, which people might not realize is an incredibly ethnically diverse country. it's in the center of asia so you can always find afghans who look like they could be from anywhere in the world. i kind of understand what they mean about seeing the "korean feeling" in people, because i definitely notice the "afghan feeling" when i spot an afghan, but the strange thing is that it's not limited to physical features for me. it's more like a vibe. it's kind of cool to see how different the cultures are, because everyone i've ever met has a little bit of everything, whereas it seems like koreans all want to be only one thing.
Always excited when I see half koreans who speak the language! I always felt so weird that most of the half korean Americans I know can't speak it and korean was my first language. Its never too late to embrace your cultures, whatever they are, no matter what u look like!
When she said , " You're pretty for an Asian girl," man, my eyes welled up with tears... Nah boo, you're just a beautiful human in general. Fuck those racist haters😭💖💋
Good discussion and I hope everyone learns more about the challenges of mixed race children and adults.
I love ur contents and characters 💓
Damn she is beauitful. 🥰
For me, I have a Mexican Mom but I’m white because of my Irish/Russian dad. For me, it’s frustrating when people say I’m not a true Mexican just because I’m not tan. I was born in the states, but I fully embrace the love of the culture that I have in being a Mexican/American. I even would love to be fluent in Spanish someday.
This reminds me of how my teacher is half Japanese. 💀 But people keep coming up to her and asking if she's Mexican.
My sister in law is half Hawaiian. People constantly speak Spanish to her.
im also mixed, half german, half sheperd
She is very pretty
I can relate to this
Gosh she's stunning plus the way of her thought also stunning
Damn shes pretty 😍
It definitely depends on the individual with regards to sense of belonging.
However, I would love it if they feel they belong to all their heritage.
It's amazing how she learnt Korean with such determination since she mentioned her family doesn't know it as her father stopped using Korean when he was young and it really is difficult to learn more than one language. I'm trying to learn Japanese and it's so difficult.
The bullying is definitely terrible. I live in the UK and must say have come across plenty of nasty things said to me, I'm naturally small as well so became a real target for others.
It's an interesting video since some of the topics can be hard to talk about.
Back when I was at school, for most of my school years I used to be the only Asian which is sometimes very difficult due to bullying. People mock me for all sorts of things and it got so bad when I was younger when some people at school ask me to say or teach them some basic words in Cantonese which was just out of curiosity and all I always hesitate and sometimes refuse because I always thought they wanted to mock me or something which many kids did.
0:22 😂😂😂 Oh Heejae....🤣💗
As a half korean and half mexican i found it so relatable because i experienced bullying for not fitting into the standard. I very much agree with the fact that they need to stretch the standard on what a korean should look like.
I'm mixed but I always refused my other half from my mother. I didn't grow up with her so I didn't have any cultural link to her side that's why I identified myself as spanish. But people always remembered me that I was different. Oh you talk well for being a foreigner. Oh you look exotic where are you from? You look so different. Comments like this made me felt an outsider when I felt myself as an equal. I had a strong identity crisis when I was a kid because a women told my father where he adopted me and he said I was his blood child but the women denied it saying I looked too different to be his real daughter... so that made me feel I was adopted and there was a time I wanted to travel around the world to find my true family because I thought I was adopted... now that I'm an adult I'm okay but sometimes I still have some identity crisis. Now I'm trying to embrace my other half and learn about my roots. I hope to visit my mother's country in the future and learn the language and culture 💜
Second ❤️
Está evidente que a garota coreana estava destilando inveja por causa da beleza da garota mestiça.
my dad is Chinese and Cape Verdean while my mom is Dominican and I've always had this sense of "I dont really belong to either or accepted to either" most of my life 20 years of life. I love these mixed race videos. they're oddly comforting
I'm mixed and being stuck in the middle kinda sucks. Being in a big cosmopolitan city helps because there are more varieties of people so you get/feel singled out less. Also I feel like if you're mixed you often pick a side or pick neither and explore a whole new culture. My bf is German and I feel at home in Germany.
Half asian girls are ♥️
Would be interesting to hear their thoughts on naturalized Korean citizens and their children. It's one thing to maybe accept a mixed Korean as Korean, but what about a European, African, Middle easterner or Indian? What about their kids(no korean mix) born after acquiring citizenship?
yeah is a good point, on example is the korean kids with foreign background like the ones who appear in the korean program MY NEIGHBOR CHARLES.
My cousin (5) is half Irish/Italian and Filipino and his father is trying to teach him Tagalog and it is the funniest thing I’ve ever seen in my life. He has the biggest brown eyes in the world.

머리 또 뻗쳤네 하,,,
My hair is sticking out again,,,🥲
I’m Mexican Russian with Italian lol
OMG OMG OMG Jim Lee!
I’m mixed (half japanese half brazilian), lived in both countries and I always had this feeling of not belonging anywhere
I'm half Mexican and half German and I can relate to what she feels... I feel closer to my Mexican side of my family vs my German side bc of how I was raised. I Can speak Spanish and very little German... but it's hard to feel like you truly belong bc you can tell I'm not fully Mexican... I actually get mistaken for being Arab 😅
what does fully Mexican even mean? Lots of Mexicans have European ancestry right? Or are mixed with natives, or fully native.
