I was hoping that words like 'toxic' and 'racism' are a song of the ugly past but it's good the first person was so honest and open about it. I was so close to visiting South Korea and Japan at one point. I'm a Motion Capture actor and in late 2015 I was in contact with Capcom about the facial likeness role of Leon for the Resident Evil 2 Remake. I failed to mention I also have a voice acting background, in the end I lost the part and I can't forgive myself for wasting such an opportunity. That would've been a real dream come true to work in Japan and visit South Korea.
Thank you for your channel...very interesting. I have watched a FEW Kdramas and have only a little knowledge of Kpop- NOT truly interested in either to be honest. How did you learn Korean? For some reason your personality remind me of the late Don Cornelius ( host of the dance program SOUL TRAIN ). Take care, brother, and keep up the EXCELLENT JOB👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾Aloha🌴🌴from Hawaii🌴🌴🌴✝️🙏🏾👍🏾
I never understood why the parents with mixed kids don’t teach them both languages. It’s such a shame because it’s harder to learn a new language with different alphabet when you’re an adult.
I have a mixed family and we are teaching both languages from day one. Books and TV shows in both languages, engagement and exposure daily in both languages. We are so blessed to be able to give our children the gifts of learning multiple languages. The best time to learn is as early as possible.
@@soraparticle2078Chinese lady I know married a westerner and she wanted her kids to just speak English as that's what language their education will be taught in.
That’s happening to my grandkids. They only speak their mother’s language which is English while me, my son (their father) and all of our family are Hispanics. Its a shame 😢
I love them all. I mean Half Korean, Quarter Korean, Korean adoptee, anyone who related with Korea somehow. They are our children regardless of Asian, Black, White race or adoption or anything. Personally I have a soft spot for Korean adoptee especially. I don't know how to describe it properly but I feel kinda sense of guilty to them Korean adoptee. Anyway We should embrace them. We should treat them warm and genuine. We should tell them they are Korean too. I hope they feel comfortable and being accepted as time goes on here. As a local here in Korea I want to say Love you all.
@@hc.04 Well I wish you guys nothing but the best but this kind of relationship needs mutual respect. I'm pretty sure you know it. There's no one way. So we locals should love you guys and you guys also should love us. I think that is how it works.
This question has been asked a bunch. I don’t think he will ever answer it. He lives a mysterious / private lifestyle outside of these videos. Good for him, separating work from life!
I like these videos, I'm hispanic but I'm also part Korean and Japanese.Its very interesting to see people like me and their perspectives as well as them talking about their experiences.
I know that racism that the first lady commented. When I came to the US, I went to Silverado middle school in Napa Valley. I was one of two Asians and there were about 5 Hispanics and 1 black and all whites. This was like 1990s. Sick and tired of racism and came down to LA where many Asians here and no discrimination and our family settled down in South Cali.
You do understand that racism is common in other countries as well. Like its not just whites xD I think its very racist people put in on one race and it always has to be whites that get hate.
Sorry you had a bad experience. I'm half Korean who grew up in South Louisiana during the 80's and 90's (schools were about 70% white 30% black with other races about nonexistent.) and did experience a bit of racism and often felt isolated at times. I found as I grew older the racism became less and less. About time I was in high school in the late 90's I rarely experienced it anymore. I ended up going to university in L.A. and my experience was I did find a lot of people to be racist but just more sneaky about it. In the south I could tell if someone is racist within a few minutes of meeting them not so much in CA.
Thank you for posting this and asking these questions! I am also a half white, half Korean American and can identify so strongly with the comments they made, especially the last guy. I just went to Seoul for the first time a month ago, and people did not view me as Korean until I told them that I was mixed. Then they understood and were quite interested and understanding as to why I decided to come to Korea and take Korean classes. I appreciated their curiosity and encouragement to learn more about Korean culture and the Korean language :)
I laughed when the last person you interviewed did this 🫰🏾 😂 it was so funny and cute at the same time. On a serious note it was very interesting to hear the interviewees experiences on being part Korean and what led them to live in Korea.
Love this 🤗 I am half Korean & half nicaraguan, born & raised in the states. There are so many challenges you go through with self -identity + belonging. People don't see you as either Korean or Latina but know there is a mixture. You''re always a bit different from the rest of the family and then outside your family until of course in the late 2000's when the internet really started connecting the globe and educating people on different cultures and then adopting different ways. I don't struggle with identity issues anymore not because people have accepted me but I finally accepted myself and my own knowing that okay I am different and thats okay. (people don't have to accept me & I don't have to force my difference onto the world. It doesn't make anyone evil or the world evil. The only thing that matters is that we accept ourselves fully and get on with the experience of life bringing out the positives of what your life makeup is presenting you with)
The term is double liminality. I'm also mixed - It's constantly navigating between two groups at once. Being accepted in both but also thrown out of both at the same time. Hopefully mixed-raced issues get more spotlight in the future :)
People should focus more on their personality and their own insecurities instead of their race xD. I never saw race as an issue and I am considered white, maybe its because I never left my homeland and my familu fought for the freedom of this land and fought wars and everything that happened here that make me feel very connected to my country, but also Europeans are mixed european race because in the far far far past there were multiple different human races in Europe that ended up mixing. Our land were once connected to Africa as well. Spain was connected to Morroco. We are also connected to Asia. People just walk through lands. My grandma doesnt look like the typical west European but DNA-wise she is. She is very Western-European. A lot of immigrants come in since years now. Which is sometimes hard because they do change our culture without our permission. Its very different then America which had a complete different road, but here we are only getting diverse since the past 70 years. Maybe even shorter in most villages.
Sounds like it has gotten a tad bit better. I'm much older . Back in the 80s I couldn't step into some stores and had to wait outside while my neighborhood friends went in. Love your videos!
I wonder why Koreans discriminate foreigners no matter where they come from. For a society who faced the Korean War and their existence mainly depend on other nations' help, namely the USA, they should be more considerate to expats.
@@cesars267 Due to Korea's rapid development, In Korea, there are 3 to 4 generations living together who follow a completely different culture at the same time. 1. A generation with the culture and mindset of a pre-modern agricultural country; 2. The generation that achieved industrialization and democratization 3. A generation familiar with the information society 4. The generation born into the automation society Korea accomplished many things in 30 to 40 years that Europe and the United States achieved in a few hundred years and Japan in a hundred years. The Korea of the 1980s is a completely different country from the Korea of today.
really grateful for this video! i’m also half korean, half russian. most of the things that people said here feel so relatable for me. being the only asian in a little white town is kinda hard:( but now when i meet new people they always confused by my appearance, so i have to explain my background every time. and like yeah, the kpop influence is crazy… i feel like everyone wants to mention bts or to say “saranghae” when i tell them that i’m half korean😓
I used to live in a small white American town and there was one Asian girl (half white half Japanese) who kept getting teased and made fun of for liking Kpop
All the interviewees said their moms were Korean and maybe that was the case before but I think now in most interracial couples, the man is Korean, so that will change.
Yeah out of all the multiracial Korean families I’m subscribed to only 1 has a Korean mom and doesn’t live in Korea. All the others have Korean dads/husbands and live in Korea with their mixed children
Yeah even being in Korea for the past two months, if there ever is interracial couples that I see, its always the guy that’s Korean. It’s never the girl
@@Fartsquad_ yeah I’m subscribed to many mixed Korean families but only 1 lives in the U.S with her white husband. The rest are non Korean women with Korean husbands who’re living in Korea with their children.
I'm fully korean , my partner is white south american and we live in Europe. We want kinds later but I'm worried about kid's stress, mentality. Also think about teaching korean. This video let me think more seriously.
Being biracial can be hard but I feel you have to give your child a connection to both sides in order for them to find a path to feel connected to who they are and will become. I am half black half Latina and I didn't know who I was because who I was depended on the person who saw me as being one or the other or neither. It wasn't until I was out of high school I stopped worrying about not being black enough and not being Latino enough. My daughter went through this a bit too. Her father is half Japanese half white. But I raised her to have strong connections to her Latino black and Japanese sides and not worry about whether she looks like any one race. She looks Asian but would always say she didn't because she felt she didn't look asian enough. We luckily live in New York now so her group of friends are black, asian, Latino and white. It helps to have a community with many races. Your future child will find their connections with your help and those around them. Don't worry too much just always expose your child to all sides of their heritage and they with find their own path their. Expose them to multicultural foods, language, music, entertainment as a way to keep connected if they are not around people from their backgrounds. It helped us when we lived in an area that was one race. Finally learning Spanish helped me and my daughter was always exposed to Spanish and Japanese. She is trying to finally learn and practice speaking now. You got this! 💪🏽
@@JustAnotherNameYo thanks for your kind reply. My partner is Brazilian but his family came from Germany, he has a German family name and both citizenships. As he's born and raised in Brazil, he considers himself as a fully Brazilian, even though his family celebrate German holidays with German traditions. I'm just 100% Korean but in my whole life, I was told my way of thinking is not Korean and I'd better live abroad. In my late 20s finally I moved out. I lived in the states and now live in Germany and of course I cannot fit here or there 100% but I feel more comfortable and happier than when I lived in Korea. This totally my choice so it doesn't matter even if sometimes I feel excluded. But my future kids would be different. Your advice is at this point very helpful. I planned I'm gonna teach Korean because my kids will be born in Germany and German would be the first language. But as you said, it could be better, I show options for them to choose. Your living advice is really understandable and helpful. Thanks again and I hope your kid has no hard time because of asian look.
Reason enough to net get biracial children or not live in a country where you are not originally from. This is why a diverse society is not working.

As a Turkish person i can relate to them somehow. Our lands are pretty multicultural and diverse. Scale is like a whack, you might see asiatic looking person to germanic, slavic, arabic etc. *mediterranean problems* And all of em are speaking the same language (if they are not foreigners) and have the almost the same cultural background. The problem is, we are too "white" for asia and we are too middle-eastern for europe. And it is most likely political. It's like we are stucked our own hell.

@@melc4308 I know right! We are just half of everything. Im glad that you had a great time in here!
I had a school friend who's father was Japanese from Tokyo and mother was from Berlin speaking German...both never tought him japanese or German and spoke English with him growing up....he asked them later, why didn't either of you teach me Japanese or German and they said they thought they'd confuse him and they wanted to speak to each other without him understanding....kids can learn more than parents expect
I’m glad my little friend will get to learn Japanese. A long time ago very few parents besides Hispanics didn’t teach their Kids’s their native languages
외국에서 장기간 거주할 목적으로 지내는데 그 나라의 언어를 배우려고 노력하지 않는다면 그 나라 사람들이 과연 좋아할까? 🤔 독일에도 정말 많은 외국인들이 살고 있지만 그중에서도 높은 비율을 차지하는 아랍-북아프리카에서 온 사람들은 꽤 많은 경우가 독일어와 현지 문화를 배우는데 그닥 열정을 보이지 않는다.
Y’all have to remember blood does not define you, you cultural environment does. Her being from small town Iowa, it may have pushed her to be as Americanized as possible because of the hostile environment. Places like that can be very one way minded and that mentality gets solidified. Because of that, the mindset may not be to learn Korean or have no hunger to submerge yourself in the linguistic and macro culture even after 10 years.
Kind of hard to make assumptions like this when we get a short snapshot of their experience. Also a lot of Korean people’s English skills are really good so you have to find a Korean person in Korea who’s English is worse than your Korean and is also willing to practice with you. It can be a challenge. 😮💨
@@2enthusiast4I don’t know why you made it sounds sad. That is just how it is. If you are born in Korea for example, you at least need to assimilate. If you don’t, then there will be no common goal as a country. Assimilation doesn’t mean erasing yourself or family culture; you just trying to fit in while keeping some of the og culture in you.
If you live in Korea yes you should learn Korean lol. Its how it should be if you move to any country, learn the language. I dont at all sympathize with how she feels insulted that they expect her to know Korean after so many years there.
This is a very privileged attitude. My family immigrated from a "poor" country to korea. Only my sister and I speak korean well because we had that opportunity to go to school. It takes YEARS of dedicated study compared to learning Spanish or something. The languages are not similar at all. And even speaking korean I can't get a much better than job that my parents lol.
@@allis5870they’re saying you should at least TRY and learn the basics of the language to have simple conversations (like buying something in a store or ordering food) without a translator if you live there. They didn’t say you have to know it fluently but you should be able to read the basics no matter how different your native language is. Even just as little as reading Hangul and learning key/commonly used words will go a long way when you see them day to day.
U can see the stark contrast btw 1st & 3rd people...small town high school educated single parent teen moves to be with foreign mom, internationally educated young man moves to improve his korean language skills... Big difference...
It’s crazy that in todays day and age that being of a mixed race is still such a negative thing in some countries… I live in Australia which is very multicultural and the question of someone’s race is the last thing I think of when I meet someone to be honest.
It’s a lot easier when you’re in a country where everyone is just an influx of genetic mixtures. But even in the US where there are many separate races and ethnicities with immigrants being only first or second generation, a lot of 50% 50% mixed kids feel like they don’t belong to either of the groups that each of their parents belong to and have stated that it’s isolating and they also have a lot of self identity conflicts growing up
@@remmond3769 agreed it’s still a problem in our country but for where I live and for my friendship group it’s the last thing we think about. My close friendship group alone consists of Arabic, Asian, European and Islander. Sadly I think it will always be an issue as long as humans are around.
This is often why I say diverse societies dont work. People are never satisfied and have identity crisis or dont feel connected to the country they are in and romantize the country they are not living in but have heritage from there. Its annoying for those that do live in their homeland and see these people hating on the country and complaining even though their parents willingly put them into this situation. No one else is to blame. Diversity isnt helping anyone. People are not happy and feel misplaced. I just want my country to go back the way it was. When most people were people that had their heritage here and understand the culture, heritage and traditions. There also will be no racism and a lot of people victimize themselves constantly because of them being a minority. And you have to imagen these people came in here willingly and then complaining. They werent forced to come. With that the people that lived here suffer under that because the house prices go up and there is lack of housing. So our own children can not find homes.
you should try interviewing half asian with caucasian mother. that would be way more interesting that’s if you can find any lol all these half asians with asian mothers are so common it’s not even rare
Yeah I used to live in Arkansas and one of the very few Asians in my school and only Asian graduating with my cousin in 2024 has a white mom instead of Japanese
Although out of all the multiracial Korean families I watch on YT you won’t believe how many have a Korean mom. Only 1 and they don’t live in Korea either. I feel like it’s just now slowly changing. I repeat. Slowly
In the past, the majority of visitors to Korea were in the military, and that tended to be male. Thanks to K-dramas and K-Pop, there are far more female visitors than there were just 20 years ago.
WOW~!! YOU ARE THE ONE! K EXPLORER YOU!! THANK YOU FOR LETTING THE WORLD KNOW KOREA. AND MOST OF ALL, WE WANNA KNOW KNOW ABOUT YOU!!! YOUR KOREANS IS PERFECT! BTW, THANK YOU, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR ATTENTION ABOUT KOREAN!!!! INTERVIEWEES AND YOU! ARE TRUELY THE WARRIORS FOR ALL THE PREJUDICE AND RACISM AND ESPECIALLY FOR THE TRUE LOVE IN THE WORLD NOW STARTING FROM KOREA. KEEP IT UP. YOU GOT THE BEST SUPPORTER FROM KOREAN IN THE WORLD.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Im a mixed race, and asian people are always walking up to me asking for directions in chinese or something, lol and im like of sorry i dont speak Chinese and they are like ohh sorry i thought you were asian. And even tho i have asian ancestry,people would never know because my features are very different than most people. And some times korean or chinese stare at me and i know they are trying to figure out my nationality its so funny.
That’s only because of the war and women from poor countries mostly go with foreign men because they think life may be better elsewhere . That’s not the case with Korea anymore, it’s more the case with Ph, Vietnam and Thailand and actually interracial marriages in Korea especially between white men and Korean women are kinda looked down upon. I’ve been there for the past few months and there’s so many couples everywhere but they’re always both Korean. If there ever is a couple of interracial couples that I’ve seen, it’s always a Korean guy with a foreigner
I don't know your background, but I'm very impressed with your fluency in Korean as well as English. I detect a slight accent in your English, so you're probably not American. UK maybe? Anyway, very cool. Am Korean American, been here in the states since 12, am an old dude now, rofl.
Hearing other people from different countries who experience racism people tend to forget and only see racism as one-sided especially when it comes to what people who are look at as black Americans but people who are mixed depending upon where they come from and their backgrounds they experience racism prejudice just as much as any other community and what'sad is that they probably get it the most from their own community or half of the community that they are a part of which is equally sad.It's kinda Interesting to see other people into hear other people's experience with racism prejudice and what not because it's really not all that much different from other communities.
Yes for sure. I am half black half Latino and my daughter's father is half white half Japanese. The 3 of us have experienced racism from our own community and people around us for not looking straight up like one of them other. It can mess with your self worth but luckily we all have strong ties to our heritage, culture and family. That helped keep that love of self, keeping our connections to all sides of us. But man it can be hard.
Humans evolved with group think. The whole globalization only happened for no less than 100 years or so. It is should be expected. I’m not gonna live long enough to see if human can exist as one group or doom anyway.
❤in the Netherlands we have only in Rotterdam 175 ethnicities 😅 we are mixed and mingled 😂 The Netherlands is such a small country 😅 but we have more ethnicities then New York 😅 So hopefully some countries learn from the Dutch ❤ Be open be free❤
They look totally Korean, these people are really half white? Wow they don't look even remotely white especially the second guy and the last guy just looks Hispanic.
Yeah, she looks pretty (Asian) Korean. I don't see how people would know unless she told them. No one can control genetics or anything, but I think of "Eurasian" looking people when they say "American (White) and Asian". Usually the person looks like either or.
Wassup K ? Amazing interview. It is despicable the fact that the girl from Iowa faced racism back in America for being mixed race. I always say America got their racism from the British and the Nazis got theirs from the British too.
I am mixed and my boyfriend is Korean. He can´t speak Korean but I want our kids to learn it. I could not understand how parents just refuse to teach other languages that they know to their children....
I believe that individuals who are mixed feel like outcasts because of various factors such as the country they were born in and/or how they were raised by their parents.
Yeh can confirm, half Dutch half Indonesian, thanks to the dutch colonial past. I never felt a complete dutch person but neither an indonesian. It’s like you’re looking for your identity your whole life lol
Tbh I didn't notice anything Western in the first two people. To me they looked completely Korean. The woman said she was thought to be Russian 😂 She has Korean eyes, how did they come up with that? They never met any Russians I guess. I've seen some very light Koreans, why would they think that she looked unusual? I don't get it.
People outside of Asia have a hard time telling Asians apart. Us asians can usually tell the difference between each other. She definitely looked mixed
Some Russians look really Asian 🤷♀️ ik this girl who looked so Korean to me but she was adopted from Russia. Russia is a very diverse country . But yeah i get what you mean, the first girl looked very Korean. But maybe she looks diff from certain angles. She also says she gets mistaken for Chinese and Japanese .
@Fartsquad_ Being adopted from Russia isn't the same as being ethnically Russian. A lot of Asians, including Koreans, live there. It's not that "some Russians look really Asian" - they are ethnically Asian, they only live in Russia.
@@bratzlover501 not a lot :-) Sometimes people might have high cheekbones, that's it. Mongol invasion happened centuries ago, any Asian genes are too diluted by now.
@@themiddlelayer I believe that individuals who are mixed feel like outcasts because of various factors such as the country they were born in and/or how they were raised by their parents.
What the first girl said - that when she is around Asian people, other think she's white, when she is around foreigners - others think she's Asian. It sounds kind of harsh, like you might feel like you do not belong anywhere.
OK, so the 1st young man said that he looks Western. I am white from America. He looks very much Asian to me so I’m just curious as to how he looks western to Koreans
When you grow up around a race, your eye is better attuned to differences in that race, it's why Koreans growing up in Korea can tell each other apart easily but confuse Caucasians for each other, or Nigerians growing up in Nigeria can tell each other apart easily but confuse Asians for each other. The eye naturally looks for certain distinctions. So if you're used to Korean faces and see something out of the norm and it lends itself more to what you believe a Western face to have, you'll see that face as Western compared to the other Korean faces around it.
It’s small facial features, and also probably a slight variation in how he talks too. it’s actually kind of hard to tell with sunglasses on and looking away in the video. His clothing looks very much korean style. Regardless, Half korean typically ‘look white’ to Koreans and ‘look Asian’ to caucasian people. We don’t fit in anywhere but oh well 🤷🏻♀️
I know that everyone’s life experiences are different, but I disagree with the first lady commentator on this video clip. I had some Amer-Asian peers who were half Korean some years back, and their experiences in Korea were less than satisfying. Their facial features were in-between both races, thus, many Korean conservatives still saw them as foreigners. As far as the first lady commentator on this video clip, she would be in a different category than my Amer-Asian counterparts. Why? Because unlike my Amer-Asian peers, she can pass for being a full-fledged Korean lady; she certainly has the concrete Asian features to back-up my assessment. Her skin tone is very fair, which is in sync with the cultural lifestyle amongst Korean celebrities of using skin-care products to whiten their skin; in the case of the first lady commentator on this video clip, she has fair skin naturally primarily because of her racial mixity. So, it’s her skin tone they praise her for-NOT a biracial appearance.

Love this 🤗 I am half Korean & half nicaraguan, born & raised in the states. There are so many challenges you go through with self -identity + belonging. People don't see you as either Korean or Latina but know there is a mixture. You''re always a bit different from the rest of the family and then outside your family until of course in the late 2000's when the internet really started connecting the globe and educating people on different cultures and then adopting different ways. I don't struggle with identity issues anymore not because people have accepted me but I finally accepted myself and my own knowing that okay I am different and thats okay. (people don't have to accept me & I don't have to force my difference onto the world. It doesn't make anyone evil or the world evil. The only thing that matters is that we accept ourselves fully and get on with the experience of life bringing out the positives of what your life makeup is presenting you with)
The term is double liminality. I'm also mixed - It's constantly navigating between two groups at once. Being accepted in both but also thrown out of both at the same time. Hopefully mixed-raced issues get more spotlight in the future :)
People should focus more on their personality and their own insecurities instead of their race xD. I never saw race as an issue and I am considered white, maybe its because I never left my homeland and my familu fought for the freedom of this land and fought wars and everything that happened here that make me feel very connected to my country, but also Europeans are mixed european race because in the far far far past there were multiple different human races in Europe that ended up mixing. Our land were once connected to Africa as well. Spain was connected to Morroco. We are also connected to Asia. People just walk through lands. My grandma doesnt look like the typical west European but DNA-wise she is. She is very Western-European.
A lot of immigrants come in since years now. Which is sometimes hard because they do change our culture without our permission. Its very different then America which had a complete different road, but here we are only getting diverse since the past 70 years. Maybe even shorter in most villages.
I’m white latina American but kept forgetting I wasn’t 100% white
Sounds like it has gotten a tad bit better. I'm much older . Back in the 80s I couldn't step into some stores and had to wait outside while my neighborhood friends went in. Love your videos!
Where in Korea? Are you a half Korean?
@@kauchkauch2272 I grew up in Seoul long time ago and lived in 여의도. And yes I'm half Korean. Speak it fluently.
I wonder why Koreans discriminate foreigners no matter where they come from. For a society who faced the Korean War and their existence mainly depend on other nations' help, namely the USA, they should be more considerate to expats.
@vnolan633 ok kimjong. Keep saying nonsense on internet
@@cesars267 Due to Korea's rapid development,
In Korea, there are 3 to 4 generations living together who follow a completely different culture at the same time.
1. A generation with the culture and mindset of a pre-modern agricultural country;
2. The generation that achieved industrialization and democratization
3. A generation familiar with the information society
4. The generation born into the automation society
Korea accomplished many things in 30 to 40 years that Europe and the United States achieved in a few hundred years and Japan in a hundred years.
The Korea of the 1980s is a completely different country from the Korea of today.
WOW that guy with the white blazer and shades has got some GREAT STYLE!!! (Half American half Korean guy)

i really appreciate these videos. thank you so much for all the work you do.
really grateful for this video! i’m also half korean, half russian. most of the things that people said here feel so relatable for me. being the only asian in a little white town is kinda hard:( but now when i meet new people they always confused by my appearance, so i have to explain my background every time.
and like yeah, the kpop influence is crazy… i feel like everyone wants to mention bts or to say “saranghae” when i tell them that i’m half korean😓
I used to live in a small white American town and there was one Asian girl (half white half Japanese) who kept getting teased and made fun of for liking Kpop
real 😭literally as soon as i tell someone i'm korean they mention kpop

It’s nice to see the way K Explorer has clearly thought through and has empathy for the diaspora experience. Came correct with the questions as usual.
All the interviewees said their moms were Korean and maybe that was the case before but I think now in most interracial couples, the man is Korean, so that will change.
Yeah out of all the multiracial Korean families I’m subscribed to only 1 has a Korean mom and doesn’t live in Korea. All the others have Korean dads/husbands and live in Korea with their mixed children
So it’s slowly starting to change
Yeah even being in Korea for the past two months, if there ever is interracial couples that I see, its always the guy that’s Korean. It’s never the girl
@@Fartsquad_ yeah I’m subscribed to many mixed Korean families but only 1 lives in the U.S with her white husband. The rest are non Korean women with Korean husbands who’re living in Korea with their children.
It's better than before, but I still think there are more Korean mom, white dad couples
The interviewer guy is so polite and accurate . Very cool
I'm fully korean , my partner is white south american and we live in Europe. We want kinds later but I'm worried about kid's stress, mentality. Also think about teaching korean. This video let me think more seriously.
Being biracial can be hard but I feel you have to give your child a connection to both sides in order for them to find a path to feel connected to who they are and will become. I am half black half Latina and I didn't know who I was because who I was depended on the person who saw me as being one or the other or neither. It wasn't until I was out of high school I stopped worrying about not being black enough and not being Latino enough. My daughter went through this a bit too. Her father is half Japanese half white. But I raised her to have strong connections to her Latino black and Japanese sides and not worry about whether she looks like any one race. She looks Asian but would always say she didn't because she felt she didn't look asian enough. We luckily live in New York now so her group of friends are black, asian, Latino and white. It helps to have a community with many races. Your future child will find their connections with your help and those around them. Don't worry too much just always expose your child to all sides of their heritage and they with find their own path their. Expose them to multicultural foods, language, music, entertainment as a way to keep connected if they are not around people from their backgrounds. It helped us when we lived in an area that was one race. Finally learning Spanish helped me and my daughter was always exposed to Spanish and Japanese. She is trying to finally learn and practice speaking now. You got this! 💪🏽
@@JustAnotherNameYo thanks for your kind reply. My partner is Brazilian but his family came from Germany, he has a German family name and both citizenships. As he's born and raised in Brazil, he considers himself as a fully Brazilian, even though his family celebrate German holidays with German traditions. I'm just 100% Korean but in my whole life, I was told my way of thinking is not Korean and I'd better live abroad. In my late 20s finally I moved out. I lived in the states and now live in Germany and of course I cannot fit here or there 100% but I feel more comfortable and happier than when I lived in Korea. This totally my choice so it doesn't matter even if sometimes I feel excluded. But my future kids would be different. Your advice is at this point very helpful. I planned I'm gonna teach Korean because my kids will be born in Germany and German would be the first language. But as you said, it could be better, I show options for them to choose. Your living advice is really understandable and helpful. Thanks again and I hope your kid has no hard time because of asian look.
Reason enough to net get biracial children or not live in a country where you are not originally from. This is why a diverse society is not working.
As a Turkish person i can relate to them somehow. Our lands are pretty multicultural and diverse. Scale is like a whack, you might see asiatic looking person to germanic, slavic, arabic etc. *mediterranean problems* And all of em are speaking the same language (if they are not foreigners) and have the almost the same cultural background.
The problem is, we are too "white" for asia and we are too middle-eastern for europe. And it is most likely political. It's like we are stucked our own hell.
@@melc4308 I know right! We are just half of everything.
Im glad that you had a great time in here!
K explorer really out here making the best interview vids
I had a school friend who's father was Japanese from Tokyo and mother was from Berlin speaking German...both never tought him japanese or German and spoke English with him growing up....he asked them later, why didn't either of you teach me Japanese or German and they said they thought they'd confuse him and they wanted to speak to each other without him understanding....kids can learn more than parents expect
I’m glad my little friend will get to learn Japanese. A long time ago very few parents besides Hispanics didn’t teach their Kids’s their native languages
And tbh a lot of people of Japanese decent/diaspora don’t even know Japanese. It was quite rare
That was really stupid and they robbed him he would’ve been able to get a job anywhere if you can speak three languages you’ll never go broke

10 years in Korea, come on, learn Korean
Y’all have to remember blood does not define you, you cultural environment does. Her being from small town Iowa, it may have pushed her to be as Americanized as possible because of the hostile environment. Places like that can be very one way minded and that mentality gets solidified. Because of that, the mindset may not be to learn Korean or have no hunger to submerge yourself in the linguistic and macro culture even after 10 years.
@@2enthusiast4 that’s sad…
Kind of hard to make assumptions like this when we get a short snapshot of their experience. Also a lot of Korean people’s English skills are really good so you have to find a Korean person in Korea who’s English is worse than your Korean and is also willing to practice with you. It can be a challenge. 😮💨
@@2enthusiast4I don’t know why you made it sounds sad. That is just how it is. If you are born in Korea for example, you at least need to assimilate. If you don’t, then there will be no common goal as a country. Assimilation doesn’t mean erasing yourself or family culture; you just trying to fit in while keeping some of the og culture in you.

respectfully wanted to point out the third guy said "experience the full culture" not food culture in the subtitles.
If you live in Korea yes you should learn Korean lol. Its how it should be if you move to any country, learn the language. I dont at all sympathize with how she feels insulted that they expect her to know Korean after so many years there.
This is a very privileged attitude. My family immigrated from a "poor" country to korea. Only my sister and I speak korean well because we had that opportunity to go to school. It takes YEARS of dedicated study compared to learning Spanish or something. The languages are not similar at all. And even speaking korean I can't get a much better than job that my parents lol.
@@allis5870they’re saying you should at least TRY and learn the basics of the language to have simple conversations (like buying something in a store or ordering food) without a translator if you live there. They didn’t say you have to know it fluently but you should be able to read the basics no matter how different your native language is. Even just as little as reading Hangul and learning key/commonly used words will go a long way when you see them day to day.
Hoping one of these days I can interview K Explorer ;)

It’s crazy that in todays day and age that being of a mixed race is still such a negative thing in some countries… I live in Australia which is very multicultural and the question of someone’s race is the last thing I think of when I meet someone to be honest.
It’s a lot easier when you’re in a country where everyone is just an influx of genetic mixtures. But even in the US where there are many separate races and ethnicities with immigrants being only first or second generation, a lot of 50% 50% mixed kids feel like they don’t belong to either of the groups that each of their parents belong to and have stated that it’s isolating and they also have a lot of self identity conflicts growing up
@@remmond3769 agreed it’s still a problem in our country but for where I live and for my friendship group it’s the last thing we think about. My close friendship group alone consists of Arabic, Asian, European and Islander. Sadly I think it will always be an issue as long as humans are around.
Yeah actor and Korean Australian adoptee Peter Thurnwalt said he was grateful to be around other adoptees
holy shit that girl from Iowa's perspective sounds almost exactly like mine
This is often why I say diverse societies dont work. People are never satisfied and have identity crisis or dont feel connected to the country they are in and romantize the country they are not living in but have heritage from there. Its annoying for those that do live in their homeland and see these people hating on the country and complaining even though their parents willingly put them into this situation. No one else is to blame. Diversity isnt helping anyone. People are not happy and feel misplaced. I just want my country to go back the way it was. When most people were people that had their heritage here and understand the culture, heritage and traditions. There also will be no racism and a lot of people victimize themselves constantly because of them being a minority. And you have to imagen these people came in here willingly and then complaining. They werent forced to come. With that the people that lived here suffer under that because the house prices go up and there is lack of housing. So our own children can not find homes.
you're so well and humble when you talk to them. Nice.

im half asian with a caucasian mother hehe

In the past, the majority of visitors to Korea were in the military, and that tended to be male. Thanks to K-dramas and K-Pop, there are far more female visitors than there were just 20 years ago.

Man, your videos are great! Its great to see many diversity in korea
Asian female don’t like black men
Like in this video, most mixed couples involve an Asian female and that is very sad. It means many Korean males will be single for life.
You don't have to worry, it's a story when Korea was poor, and now Korean men are getting more than 5 times more international marriages.
That’s only because of the war and women from poor countries mostly go with foreign men because they think life may be better elsewhere . That’s not the case with Korea anymore, it’s more the case with Ph, Vietnam and Thailand and actually interracial marriages in Korea especially between white men and Korean women are kinda looked down upon. I’ve been there for the past few months and there’s so many couples everywhere but they’re always both Korean. If there ever is a couple of interracial couples that I’ve seen, it’s always a Korean guy with a foreigner
They are so many Koreans from or raised in Australia lol. It was even mentioned in the show XO Kitty. Very interesting
Yeah the actor who played Alex Finnerty (Peter Thurnwalt) is an Korean adoptee irl.

Hearing other people from different countries who experience racism people tend to forget and only see racism as one-sided especially when it comes to what people who are look at as black Americans but people who are mixed depending upon where they come from and their backgrounds they experience racism prejudice just as much as any other community and what'sad is that they probably get it the most from their own community or half of the community that they are a part of which is equally sad.It's kinda Interesting to see other people into hear other people's experience with racism prejudice and what not because it's really not all that much different from other communities.
Asian female don’t like black men
Yes for sure. I am half black half Latino and my daughter's father is half white half Japanese. The 3 of us have experienced racism from our own community and people around us for not looking straight up like one of them other. It can mess with your self worth but luckily we all have strong ties to our heritage, culture and family. That helped keep that love of self, keeping our connections to all sides of us. But man it can be hard.
Humans evolved with group think. The whole globalization only happened for no less than 100 years or so. It is should be expected. I’m not gonna live long enough to see if human can exist as one group or doom anyway.

They never met any Russians I guess. I've seen some very light Koreans, why would they think that she looked unusual? I don't get it.
People outside of Asia have a hard time telling Asians apart. Us asians can usually tell the difference between each other. She definitely looked mixed
Some Russians look really Asian 🤷♀️ ik this girl who looked so Korean to me but she was adopted from Russia. Russia is a very diverse country . But yeah i get what you mean, the first girl looked very Korean. But maybe she looks diff from certain angles. She also says she gets mistaken for Chinese and Japanese .
@Fartsquad_ Being adopted from Russia isn't the same as being ethnically Russian. A lot of Asians, including Koreans, live there. It's not that "some Russians look really Asian" - they are ethnically Asian, they only live in Russia.

마지막 홍콩 출신 한국인 ; 귀여워요 ㅋ
OK, so the 1st young man said that he looks Western. I am white from America. He looks very much Asian to me so I’m just curious as to how he looks western to Koreans
When you grow up around a race, your eye is better attuned to differences in that race, it's why Koreans growing up in Korea can tell each other apart easily but confuse Caucasians for each other, or Nigerians growing up in Nigeria can tell each other apart easily but confuse Asians for each other. The eye naturally looks for certain distinctions. So if you're used to Korean faces and see something out of the norm and it lends itself more to what you believe a Western face to have, you'll see that face as Western compared to the other Korean faces around it.
It’s small facial features, and also probably a slight variation in how he talks too. it’s actually kind of hard to tell with sunglasses on and looking away in the video. His clothing looks very much korean style. Regardless, Half korean typically ‘look white’ to Koreans and ‘look Asian’ to caucasian people. We don’t fit in anywhere but oh well 🤷🏻♀️

The full korean idols who are glorified for their visual always looks mixed... 👀
I know that everyone’s life experiences are different, but I disagree with the first lady commentator on this video clip. I had some Amer-Asian peers who were half Korean some years back, and their experiences in Korea were less than satisfying. Their facial features were in-between both races, thus, many Korean conservatives still saw them as foreigners. As far as the first lady commentator on this video clip, she would be in a different category than my Amer-Asian counterparts. Why? Because unlike my Amer-Asian peers, she can pass for being a full-fledged Korean lady; she certainly has the concrete Asian features to back-up my assessment. Her skin tone is very fair, which is in sync with the cultural lifestyle amongst Korean celebrities of using skin-care products to whiten their skin; in the case of the first lady commentator on this video clip, she has fair skin naturally primarily because of her racial mixity. So, it’s her skin tone they praise her for-NOT a biracial appearance.
Can you ask what they think or know about some country? Every single country in one episode.
Oof, you know in Korea if they say you look Chinese that’s like a subtle insult (and also racist)
