She’s adorable. I love her fascination with Australia & learning French. 😂 I also love that she still speaks Twi at home. She’s going to be such a powerhouse when she grows up!
Her whole demeanor radiates chillness and confidence. Appearance wise she looks Ghanaian but OMG as soon as she talks you definitely see that she is indeed a Korean kid. I would watch an episode about her daily life.
@Turc1h Sure people treat her differently, she still grew up with Korean culture though. I’m not sure why you’re hell bent on denying her the culture she grew up with. You got issues.
That’s what she said except that last part of living in Korea was purely in English and not Twi lol. Her Twi is a work in progress but excellent Korean!! I’m jealous! 😭Please tutor me!
She is only 14, so she has plenty of time for changing her mind on learning about Ghana. You never know how you'll feel 10 or 20 years later down the road.
She doesn't have to tho. Up to her if she ever chooses to connect with her parent's homeland. It'd be a terrible shame if she didn't, but just bc she's young doesn't automatically mean that she doesn't know what she's talking about or that she doesn't know what she wants. Like she said, she seems to really love her life in Korea and identifies as Korean. It's valid if she feels little incentive to learn about a place that has no appeal to her
@@princeameyaw5571it’s not her fault, she didn’t grow up in Ghana. At least she knows it, some ppl don’t know their native languages and live in their native countries..
im chinese by ethnicity but american since I was born in the US and never been to China. people cant seem to wrap their head around my nationality being american, the way I talk , react, and certain habits I have are all American. The values I hold are also American. it didnt appear to me how american I was until it was thanksgiving and I was in korea and was missing the sound of football in the background while eating pumpkin pie. I 100% think people should be able to claim they are korean if they are born in korea without being challenged, they speak the language and are the culture of their environment
How is it that her parents didn’t say wonderful things about Ghana? Ghana is beautiful and interesting too. I hope she looks it up online and visits soon. I’m in Canada but I miss Ghana everyday.
Well I am sure everybody has different experiences and sees things differently? I had a friend in Toronto who fled Ghana seeking asylum in Canada never wanting to go back home
And we have those Americans referring to as uncle Tom's, trust me as Ghanaian who leave abroad since early 80s they are plenty of them most think their new adopted country's fall from sky's.
This video gives me so much hope and confidence to take my daughter back to South Korea where she was born. She was just almost 2years when we relocate back to Africa, now she's 4years and i live with guilts whenever she ask me about Korea or tells people she's Korean. Honestly, i didn't bring her back because of the people because Koreans are very loving and caring people at least for the ones i came across ❤ They loved, cared and supported my family with so much happiness ❤ I took my daughter back to my country because we need a break from so many stuffs but this right here?, is the sign 😇 May God continue to bless you and your team for creating those beautiful contents.
I only believe in culture not race. She is more Korean than I will ever be. In my case I'm culturally American but let me tell you I wasn't accepted at all. I hope Korea can set an example and produce more Koreans of all colors.❤
Where do you live to not be accepted as a Korean American?! I think it's fully accepted in NY... It's just weird when Korean Americans sound more urban than my Uncles. 😂
Gosh I hate that America is like that! If you were born in America you are just as American as anyone else. This idea of white ppl being real Americans is absolutely ridiculous. Im almost half Native American and this was my ancestors land before the colonizers came. As far as Im concerned anyone can be American. I think it’s sad to divide ppl that way. Especially in cases like ppl who are first generation American and not accepted by either side. The culture you grow up in should accept you regardless
That's what most native Koreans think. But then the problem is we r used to being homogeneous for too long that there r so many raw hates within the society which could easily escalate or be mistaken as racism. For instance we r quite used to rich looking down on poor. It's done plainly but no one rlly complains cause since we r all Korean and equal we believe the gap comes from one's hardwork. If I'm disregarded for being poor then it's my fault not studying hard enough back in school. But what if a Korean looks down on a 'poor' immigrant? Now ppl will find it as racism or some other discrimination.
@@nicoleraheem1195 gyopo’s are treated differently than native Koreans. Even if I’m ethnically Korean they still treat you like a foreigner unless you’re a 100% fluent in the language, dress, and behave like they do.

It would be great to have follow up interviews with her; like Tiffany from Japan. I hope she also appreciates and learns more about her Ghanaian culture.
Yeah,, as a Korean living abroad I can attest that most immigrant kids don't really feel proud/connected to their culture up until I'd say college. It's when they grow older and gain more experiences that they realize how special that is.
I love her confidence. I've seen like 2 people who are Ghanaians born in korea, and they are both stunning like her❤. She said, "welcome, my name is Desiree, and I'm 14 years old, and I live here in Korea. Her Ghanaian accent is literally so cute😂❤
Ghana is not bad as you see it. Life here may not be good as in Korea but its better than else where. I love Ghana but I'll also love to live in Korea one day
Please do an episode of a day or week in her life. Including her school, travel, friends, fun activities and sports activities. Hope she keeps up her running and we might watch her in future getting Korea medals in track and field events. She looks beautiful and sounds graceful, eloquently spoken. Hope to see her again

@@Ban00yes they do. their age is calculated that you’re already 1 year old when you’re born. After that, you will gain +1 year on new years. Your age doesn’t change on your birthday. For example, a baby born on Christmas would be born at 1 year old. About a week later on January 1st, they would be 2 years old.

You can't equate Korea to any African nation. Korea gives its people a reputation, a culture, an economy that is respected globally. African nations are heavily negatively stereotyped, there is literally nothing they did that the world really respects , I'm not even being biased, there is literally nothing. I get it you want to be positive, but be realistiic.
@@Cxs1a3that's why kpop is born from Afro American choreographers right? Maybe you are too young to know that history even OG kpop artists say this. &Let's not start talking about how African music (afrobeat, amapiano etc) is leading world wide. Or how resources worth trillions are being taken from Africa each year to sustain western countries. u seem to be living in your bubble feeding your racist biases& spreading it in these comments on here so I'm not here to argue just giving you facts. up to you if you want to go debate with google I'm just a messenger ☺️& You will be humbled one day for all the ignorance you're spreading ☺️

@@Cxs1a3 My parents lived in the U.S. in the late 1970s and 1980s. Although I am Korean, and Korea is actually rich in culture and everything, but at that time, Korea wasn't exactly a wonderful place to live. My parents used to tell me that TV series 'MAS*H' was the sole perspective Americans had about Korea, war and poverty.
@@AmirAssaf5760 Triggered by facts? The whole world looks down on Aprica including Apricans themselves. Disagreeing or Agreeing with it doesn't change it.
This was such an interesting video. I actually didn't want the video to end. K Explorer you know how to ask the right questions with a respectful (and comfortable) demeaner. You keep improving your interviewing skills. 🙌 Btw is your guest on social media?
for a girl of 14 years she has such a sunny disposition. when i was her age, i was drawn to girls like her, i eventually married one. They bring eternal sunshine in a persons life. Am happy to hear her parents talk to her in their language, Twi. In my country Kenya there are many adults who actively pursue a policy of NOT teaching their children their native tongues, and are proud of it. I was once such a kid, lerant my native tongue to a near perfect fluency, and i purposely debunked that nonsense, as it stands on a foundation of quicksand.
Seriously? So parents in Kenya are embarrassed about their language? That’s kind of sad. My parents didn’t keep up with teaching me Ghanaian languages but we were in America and they struggled to have the time and when we started school we just kind of stopped speaking it.
@@yusinu6642 I can assure you this: one day you will go searching for your roots and come to realize that your identity did not start with slavery or colonialism. Yes, some parents do this to obtain "advantage" for their kids. Some go as far as giving them Complete Euro names to distance themselves from their roots.
@@nathilism I’m just saying she is 13 not 14 from the year she was born, how they do things is up to them but it doesn’t change the fact that she is 13
I'm really not happy about her saying that she is not interested in anything in Ghana because her parent say so . I'm a Ghanaian and i can say boldly that Ghana is one of the best African countries that you can have the fun , culture and everything that comes with it even though we are facing challenges financially due to some political incompetence of our leaders , we are still enjoying life and peace in our beloved country Ghana. I will urge all of you to visit Ghana especially during this festive seasons and you will never regret your decision ❤
Shes young, and may completely change as she gets older. Sometimes people feel that way about their own culture. But you are right it is a shame! I would love to visit ghana and many other beautiful African countries one day!!!
I'm not Ghanaian but I also did not like that part. I believe everyone should be proud of their roots and heritage. However, like the comment above me said, she is young, so hopefully she grows to embrace and love her Ghanaian heritage despite not being born there.
She is 14 give it a rest. She's probably having all the problems of being 14 enough already. She'll eventually find her identity and be curious of Ghana later down the line. BUT she grew up in South Korea and was born there. That is also a part of her identity and for now that is where she is comfortable.
I am korean and went to many countries, kind of escaping from the dark side of my life and looking for a new chance to change my life in foreign countries. what i felt was nothing can be changed without the pride of my own background. I agree with you. Everyone has to love their anscestry and learn more to develope it in the future. Her parents need to teach her about ghana with the pride as a ghanaian. In the end you are the person of your land.
🤣🤣🤣🤣She is certainly Korean. I love how they talk about, and appreciate good food. I ate myself silly when I went over there for the first time in October 🎉❤
I loved everything about this. Fantastic interview. She’s so right about French. I speak French, English, Spanish and learning Korean, expressions are way more fun in French 😂.
She's not Korean. That's why the title reads "I'm from Korea," not "I'm Korean." Her parents had to be Korean for that, as is the case for most countries.
@@ampa4989 Koreans definitely don't consider her "one of them", she can only say "I'm from Korea" to us foreigners, Koreans would never let her claim that.
Lovely.. it's definitely genuine.. thank you so much..!! Simply wonderful..!! I will/would do exactly the same.. ie thoroughly as best I can/could learn the common (native) language of whichever place I will/would find myself living long-term.. Good health and best wishes to and for all involved... Oceng Abonyo Oyugi
Jerry always found the cutest people and most unique person to interview...At some point, this is an art ...❤ She even more adorable when she speaks in Twi🥰 France has such a good PR. This is a country which still have colonies in 2023... They call it overseas departments or overseas territories....but still..A country which has an artificial wealth that solely relies on the CFA Franc, meaning they hijack the economy of 14 countries in Katiopa(endonym for Africa), and this is why France has the economic power they have. They are regularly called out by their European neighbors because the artificial poverty they create, create waves of mass migration from these 14 countries, and countries like Malta, Greece, and Italy are the ones who have to principally deal with the arrival of migrants, and they are tired of it... But France don't care. The PR is so good that French people really believe that their wealth comes from selling wines, and perfume... Half of the adult population don't understand why they have almost everything for free in their country ( education, childcare, parental leave of 3 years for both men and women, medical insurance that cover many things)... When a brave Cameroonian Professor, like Pr. Joseph Tchundjang Pouemi wrote about all this , and was assassinated because of it in 1984 by the French services... People are still in cognitive dissonance. France has been problematic like this till the 15th century...France made Haiti paid a "debt" because Haiti is one of the only country who fought against the army of Napoleon and won. They won their independence and had to pay for it... If the little one knew what the "Code Noir" is ...( that's a bunch of dehumanizing laws that France had so the people who owned enslaved Africans in French colonies would not step outside humanity too much)... This Code Noir was NEVER abolished. People don't use it anymore, but it was NEVER abolished, so technically...in the overseas territories, people who have eumelanin in abundance ( melanin that absorbs sunlight an enables the connection to the Ngo) are not fully-fleshed French citizens...just saying... So, yeah...France has a very good PR team.... This is sad, and incredible that young people are still blinded by the good PR team of France ...
Wow, as a black American I have not been familiarized with French history regarding it’s African colonies (I am a bit familiar with the Haitian “debt” though). Thanks for the education.
It seems to me that the "black code" was definitively abrogated in 1848 when slavery was abolished (transposed with a decree in France)... Correct me if I am wrong... I completely agree about the French government abusing their power on African populations but saying we still have "colonies" and that our medical assurance and educational system only work due to stolen wealth from Africa is a bit much... Indeed France was a colonial empire and consequently "stole" from other countries. However the taxes and regulations currently enforced were also the result of socialist parties demands and civil wars... I think History is more complex, it's a mixt of different actions that occured and yes colonization has a part of it but is not the only reason.
Twi translation “my name is Desley and I am 14years old. I live here in Korea” In Korean “제 이름은 데즐리이고 나이는 14살입니다. 저는 여기 한국에 살고있습니다” (I’m Ghanaian by the way but I understand korean 😊) In Ghana, our official language is English. We have many languages spoken by different tribes.The language Desley used is called Twi and it is spoken by the Asanti.
People will skip over this lady’s personal experience as an individual with Ghana ancestry born on korea land and continue to say Koreans are racists. How about learn the language and culture first?
The 'twi' (Ghanaian language) she spoke in the beginning is funny but she did well😂😂 and I'm a proud Ghanaian as well but being away from my country for almost 5yrs now ugghh! Really miss banku.
im more shocked that she is 14 looks 17 but was born in 2010.....20 fucking 10 thats .....thats wild how 2010 was 14 years ago like im still a teen but that makes me feel old like qhoky damn
Im a Nigerian, and I won't lie, I was a little bit hurt when she said she wasn't curious about Ghana. Like, girl, what?! Also, I'm Yoruba, so the sentiment of my tribe is, no matter where you are born, you are FROM where your "people" are from. Where you are from is more about heritage than location of birth. So this is very interesting to me.
@@TheOnlyLadyBella it just doesn't make sense to us that a person will be from where they were born or grew up cos they feel like you aren't tied to the land, you are tied to whatever cultural beliefs or world view your family instills in you. So you can be born and live on the moon but if u are raised by your parents with a certain cultural mindset, and the influences of all the generations that came before you that's in your blood, then u are more tied to that then where you are.
I was thinking they need to take her home so she can see. She will probably become more interested when she is older. I have a kid her age so I am not surprised by that statement.

Or how resources worth trillions are being taken from Africa each year to sustain western countries. u seem to be living in your bubble feeding your racist biases& spreading it in these comments on here so I'm not here to argue just giving you facts. up to you if you want to go debate with google I'm just a messenger ☺️& You will be humbled one day for all the ignorance you're spreading ☺️
All the Africans I've met in America and Europe say how great it is here and how grateful and lucky they are to escape that hell-hole they came from. Is that your idea of my bubble being burst and being humbled?
@@Cxs1a3 My parents lived in the U.S. in the late 1970s and 1980s. Although I am Korean, and Korea is actually rich in culture and everything, but at that time, Korea wasn't exactly a wonderful place to live. My parents used to tell me that TV series 'MAS*H' was the sole perspective Americans had about Korea, war and poverty.

This was such an interesting video. I actually didn't want the video to end. K Explorer you know how to ask the right questions with a respectful (and comfortable) demeaner. You keep improving your interviewing skills. 🙌 Btw is your guest on social media?
I love watching these is so beautiful to see everyone loving and embracing different cultures. Also she is too adorable & so tall for 14.
for a girl of 14 years she has such a sunny disposition. when i was her age, i was drawn to girls like her, i eventually married one. They bring eternal sunshine in a persons life. Am happy to hear her parents talk to her in their language, Twi. In my country Kenya there are many adults who actively pursue a policy of NOT teaching their children their native tongues, and are proud of it. I was once such a kid, lerant my native tongue to a near perfect fluency, and i purposely debunked that nonsense, as it stands on a foundation of quicksand.
Seriously? So parents in Kenya are embarrassed about their language? That’s kind of sad. My parents didn’t keep up with teaching me Ghanaian languages but we were in America and they struggled to have the time and when we started school we just kind of stopped speaking it.
She ain’t 14 if she said she born in 2010 it ain’t even 2024 yet
@@yusinu6642 I can assure you this: one day you will go searching for your roots and come to realize that your identity did not start with slavery or colonialism. Yes, some parents do this to obtain "advantage" for their kids. Some go as far as giving them Complete Euro names to distance themselves from their roots.
@@pkyt2458Koreans count age differently, when you are born you are 1
@@nathilism I’m just saying she is 13 not 14 from the year she was born, how they do things is up to them but it doesn’t change the fact that she is 13
I really enjoyed this interview. You ask amazing questions. Great job, and thank you!
I just love your channel content. Keep it up my man.
She is beautiful!!!!!
I'm really not happy about her saying that she is not interested in anything in Ghana because her parent say so .
I'm a Ghanaian and i can say boldly that Ghana is one of the best African countries that you can have the fun , culture and everything that comes with it even though we are facing challenges financially due to some political incompetence of our leaders , we are still enjoying life and peace in our beloved country Ghana.
I will urge all of you to visit Ghana especially during this festive seasons and you will never regret your decision ❤
Shes young, and may completely change as she gets older. Sometimes people feel that way about their own culture. But you are right it is a shame! I would love to visit ghana and many other beautiful African countries one day!!!
I'm not Ghanaian but I also did not like that part. I believe everyone should be proud of their roots and heritage. However, like the comment above me said, she is young, so hopefully she grows to embrace and love her Ghanaian heritage despite not being born there.
She is 14 give it a rest. She's probably having all the problems of being 14 enough already. She'll eventually find her identity and be curious of Ghana later down the line. BUT she grew up in South Korea and was born there. That is also a part of her identity and for now that is where she is comfortable.
I am from the Caribbean I and felt the same....her parents sound like sellout and not patriotic!
I am korean and went to many countries, kind of escaping from the dark side of my life and looking for a new chance to change my life in foreign countries. what i felt was nothing can be changed without the pride of my own background. I agree with you. Everyone has to love their anscestry and learn more to develope it in the future. Her parents need to teach her about ghana with the pride as a ghanaian. In the end you are the person of your land.
한국에서태어났으면 한국인의 정체성도 같을테니 외모는 아무런 상관없이 한국인처럼 느껴지는것 같아요

I wish my parents had moved to another country, so I could grow up with two cultures and be bilingual
I am jealous of people who have this opportunity
You can learn languages without living or growing up in another country. However it would’ve been better
As every opportunity this is also a big risk and big responsibility
@niolonq exactly...
@@InglesInfinito Its easiest to learn languages at an early age

Awesome! I love this about people that were born in Korea are very fluent .Absolutely beautiful young lady thst is extremely grounded.❤ these videos
How she looked at 14 and how I looked at 14 was super different lmao
If she had said she was in her early to mid 20's I would have believed her 😅

This was so freaking cool to watch ❤
She needs to visit Ghana, yes she is Korean but she is Ghanaian as well she should also embrace her Ghanaian roots nice interview very insightful
She's not Korean. That's why the title reads "I'm from Korea," not "I'm Korean." Her parents had to be Korean for that, as is the case for most countries.
She's only 14 so its understandable. I am sure she will be interested in Ghana when she grows up
@@ampa4989 Koreans definitely don't consider her "one of them", she can only say "I'm from Korea" to us foreigners, Koreans would never let her claim that.

France has such a good PR. This is a country which still have colonies in 2023... They call it overseas departments or overseas territories....but still..A country which has an artificial wealth that solely relies on the CFA Franc, meaning they hijack the economy of 14 countries in Katiopa(endonym for Africa), and this is why France has the economic power they have. They are regularly called out by their European neighbors because the artificial poverty they create, create waves of mass migration from these 14 countries, and countries like Malta, Greece, and Italy are the ones who have to principally deal with the arrival of migrants, and they are tired of it... But France don't care. The PR is so good that French people really believe that their wealth comes from selling wines, and perfume... Half of the adult population don't understand why they have almost everything for free in their country ( education, childcare, parental leave of 3 years for both men and women, medical insurance that cover many things)...
When a brave Cameroonian Professor, like Pr. Joseph Tchundjang Pouemi wrote about all this , and was assassinated because of it in 1984 by the French services... People are still in cognitive dissonance. France has been problematic like this till the 15th century...France made Haiti paid a "debt" because Haiti is one of the only country who fought against the army of Napoleon and won. They won their independence and had to pay for it...
If the little one knew what the "Code Noir" is ...( that's a bunch of dehumanizing laws that France had so the people who owned enslaved Africans in French colonies would not step outside humanity too much)... This Code Noir was NEVER abolished. People don't use it anymore, but it was NEVER abolished, so technically...in the overseas territories, people who have eumelanin in abundance ( melanin that absorbs sunlight an enables the connection to the Ngo) are not fully-fleshed French citizens...just saying...
So, yeah...France has a very good PR team....
This is sad, and incredible that young people are still blinded by the good PR team of France ...
Wow, as a black American I have not been familiarized with French history regarding it’s African colonies (I am a bit familiar with the Haitian “debt” though). Thanks for the education.
Love your comment and thank you for posting. Jamaican/British from across the channel.
History lesson in bite size ❤
It seems to me that the "black code" was definitively abrogated in 1848 when slavery was abolished (transposed with a decree in France)... Correct me if I am wrong... I completely agree about the French government abusing their power on African populations but saying we still have "colonies" and that our medical assurance and educational system only work due to stolen wealth from Africa is a bit much... Indeed France was a colonial empire and consequently "stole" from other countries. However the taxes and regulations currently enforced were also the result of socialist parties demands and civil wars... I think History is more complex, it's a mixt of different actions that occured and yes colonization has a part of it but is not the only reason.
@@hayeon1004 As an outsider looking in, I’d say that makes sense. All the factors you mentioned must play a role.

In Korean “제 이름은 데즐리이고 나이는 14살입니다. 저는 여기 한국에 살고있습니다”
(I’m Ghanaian by the way but I understand korean 😊)
In Ghana, our official language is English. We have many languages spoken by different tribes.The language Desley used is called Twi and it is spoken by the Asanti.
Awesome interview = )

Very nice video Jerry
Young girl u a great, am so happy to see a Ghanaian speaking Korean language
Love this ❤ she can speak a Ghanian language yet so detached from Ghana. Very impressive young girl with a unique upbringing.
teenagers . Whatever their friend are into. /// they mimic
All she said in Twi was’ Happy new year to you all and that her name was Desley and that she is 14 years old and that she lives in Korea.
Very nice young lady and i know her family is proud of her
What an amazing story.
Beautiful love from 🇬🇭
I thought she was 20 😶 I’m fourteen too and look like a twelve year old
You should come visit Australia!!
The 'twi' (Ghanaian language) she spoke in the beginning is funny but she did well😂😂 and I'm a proud Ghanaian as well but being away from my country for almost 5yrs now ugghh! Really miss banku.

Close your eyes and listen as they speak and open your eyes. Yesss you smiled 😊
the interviewer is really good, as a Ghanaian i really enjoyed the convo
Im a Nigerian, and I won't lie, I was a little bit hurt when she said she wasn't curious about Ghana. Like, girl, what?! Also, I'm Yoruba, so the sentiment of my tribe is, no matter where you are born, you are FROM where your "people" are from. Where you are from is more about heritage than location of birth. So this is very interesting to me.
@@TheOnlyLadyBella it just doesn't make sense to us that a person will be from where they were born or grew up cos they feel like you aren't tied to the land, you are tied to whatever cultural beliefs or world view your family instills in you. So you can be born and live on the moon but if u are raised by your parents with a certain cultural mindset, and the influences of all the generations that came before you that's in your blood, then u are more tied to that then where you are.
I was thinking they need to take her home so she can see. She will probably become more interested when she is older. I have a kid her age so I am not surprised by that statement.
Don’t mind her, she not serious and missing out. She is not curious but like banku.
