Korean Women Talk About Growing Up In The US 

lindsay labady boi if you don’t

I'm only 13 T-T

Alexis Fitzroy Hispanic people who be having sex in 13? Nah.

@@lindsay16 sorry to dissapoint you, but plenty of white people have baby face and nice skin. Have you ever been to Europe? People of color age better generally because they can handle the sun better. However, a white person that barely goes in the sun, doesn't really get wrinkles. Plus wrinkles are not the only thing. There's face structure. People who have baby face, regardless of race, will look younger. I'm East European, 25 years old and by everyone's standards, I look like a teenager. I have many friends my age who are darker skin and look older because they have more mature features. Not everyone is the same.

And to the OC, there's nothing wrong with looking older, or your age. In some jobs, is a advantage because you seem more wise and dependable. I have to rely on makeup to add years to my face because I don't want people to see me as a child. It's harder being successful in some fields if you look like a young girl.

Say it a million times!!

I think shes the oldest too! Crazy

Her name is Kirsten leigh.

She has a channel and she’s friends with Amber from F(x) (kpop group)

@@sriparnamazumder3385 kirstin with all i's

Uhh she seems the most brainwashed and lost all touch from her roots. Thats the most unattractive trait of them all.

@@followthewhiterabbit8561 how so?

richard seymore nice but.. lucy can have her own opinion

@@sunselai5254 she's literally not just Korean and he's making it seem like she's not allowed to embrace the other part of her too

Blonde turns me off the most of Asian westernization. Dying her hair blonde is already a minor form of insecurity in her origin. Actually go to Korea and the only ones to dye their hair a color like bright blonde are in show business. She is so whitewashed. Her explanation maybe maybe maybe doesn't sit well with me, she has no definitive answer why she chooses blond hair color and even if she likes it, then my assumption is true she subconsciously wants to be white.

And she's a mother or 4 yr old(?)

Asian don’t raisin

Omg how

asians found the fountain of youth

how omg

She seems a bit stiff to me, too rehearsed,

Sir Uppercrust III why do you have to make this sexual?

I love claire

Sir Uppercrust III disgusting

@ nobody asked if youd bone them

She's got an amazing energy for sure!!

She's kiirstin Leigh

@@sarahchang4863 yg

Her smile makes me happy😊

she got that south slang boo 😎

Will Deonne Creative there around. Louisiana has them as well.

I know two that are well known

Atlanta

@@SouRi1Two3 I live in Atlanta

She is too damn adorable.

She has a youtube channel KIR JER. I love her too!

She is a human

Isabella Corail she's a mom????

Elizabethx15 she is.. Baby Royce and furbaby Leo 😁

Amaya it was Louisiana lol. And I’m from where she is and she doesn’t sound like shes from there. She sounds more like Georgia

Yea I’m from Louisiana and she sounds like she’s more from Georgia

Actually she was born in Louisiana but grew up in Georgia

_m_h_l that’s what I said it’s the first sentence. That she grew up in Georgia.

Amaya I’m from Georgia as Well 🤪

I'm from the south but because of my horrible father, I really try to not have an accent and so I get it. When you get worked up the accent starts to surface. I found that funny.

@@TheKatiebugsTTV I'm just curious why did you called your father horrible

Lmao homegirl wasn't playin'!

Aren't you 22 in Korean age?

@@le30o0n is it a year more, or 2. Now I'm confused. Lol

TKT Entertainment depends on when your birthday is. If your birthday already past and it isn’t in the new year it’s one year older than what you are normally, Once it reaches the New Year 12:00am it’s two years older. If your birthday hasn’t passed yet it’s two years older than what you are normally are.

Lol

Bruh im 20 but my korean agw is 22

Oof I'm Korean but lived my whole life in the US so I dont know much about korea.

@@wings2507 that's sad, I think korea is an amazing country, have you nåt been there

@@kiim_sunny6997 I go korea every year to visit my family but I'm always on my phone.

@SkyWalker Why

@SkyWalker I don't post anything lmao

my mom always says we have to be more asian than the asians and more american than the americans (quoted from the selena movie)

Bro it's the same for me. I'm Hispanic and white. I'm not Hispanic enough for some hispanic people and I'm not white enough for some white people. It gets annoying but realize that if someone treats you that way, like you arent ethnically good enough, then just ditch them and get new friends. You dont need that negativity in your life.

Foreign Jamaicans understand this as well, and especially Jamericans also. To Jamaicans, being too American is seen as a bad thing because of stereotypes and experiences. I was looked down upon for speaking Patois like a "yankee" as a child and liking rock music, I just couldn't win. I went through a phase of feeling the need to overcompensate a little in front of other Jamaican people and now I just embrace my entire identity naturally. One is in my blood, my ancestors, my soul; the other is in my history and life experiences. I'm 100% Jamaican and 100% American 100% of the time.

i just go full asian ， no matter what

Completely agree! And if you don't look Asian ENOUGH you're not Asian smh.

Yar. Hair dye is just like a perm or a hair straightening. Cutting a blob style or a pixie style.

white people dont own blonde hair what r they on

@@tamere520 please tell me this is not a thing 😭 I thought this was just common sense

Who?

@@axelmendoza544 Kim bo yeon. She is a famous actress in korea.

ohhhhhh...makes sense now

??im korean and l had never heard about her. I think she isnt famous at all

@@user-cd3iy4jr7b Doesn't mean everyone has to know her lol.

they are beautiful because of their culture ;)

95% watched the video w/ the sound off

Lol truuu

Please. Get a clue, it's RU-vid. That's what people do here. You want to discuss culture diff.s? Plenty of sites out there, don't be lazy.

yea, no kidding. Of course that's what people are going to be thinking and saying when they see a group of beautiful young women. It's why I clicked on it

eat my cookies They’re all very cute tbh

@@reinal7896 can't deny that

not rlly

Technically they are all pretty but the one in pink jacket is a knock out!

What about the girl in all black

lise phạm jean jacket girl, girl with blonde hair

Cause who has time to look back?

I laughed so hard at this 🤣🤣🤣🤣

We are a visual gen

Best answer 👍❤

It's really a matter of perspective. To them, westerners look old.

Genes, food, and insane skin care routine.

@@Xentradi97 😂

Food - kimchi is more beneficial than you think... Amazing skin care products filled with ceramides and collagen , genetics and exercise .

Asains have the thickest skins thats why

배우 김보연 따님 이더라구요 ㅎㅎ

ㅋㅋㅋㅋ 사실이야!

XD tbh I knew about Korean b4 Kpop became popular or so widespread. My mom used to be a k drama fan and we had the whole series to Stairway to heaven. My mom watched that series so many times and she was a super fan of Winter Sonata

wow I like American dramas even though i'm Korean ㅋㅋㅋ 신기하당

oh wow same ! but i’m only half:(

Same

Me too!!!!!

same im half

SAME!

Coleen De San Jose me 🙋🏽‍♂️

Maybe the majority of us(including myself) that's watching this are not from Korea, but none the less...

Erick Flores me

Coleen De San Jose I’m half white and half Korean so might count.

I'm nothing but American at the purest form I was born here and my mom and I think her parents and my dad's mom .. Was born in Japan not the point cuz my dad's dad I think wad born here to

Cody Whitlock I feel like I only view the comment section these days just to check whether you have written anything or not 😂

We need more men like you in the world. ✌

Lol i always see you everywhere

I see you everwhere

Cody Whitlock shut up white boy

She's kiirstin Leigh

She looks like nayeon!!!

Paul Rodriguez yeah I could definitely see that! But nayeon is other worldly 🤩

Αριάννα loves LOOΠΔ how do I get a Korean woman

Infinity Gauntlet Wha-

Kristin is amber liu friend

@Akinori Did you even read my comment?

@Yoguru but it says USA no 1 for plastic surgery...............

Yo me too it’s just so unique and awesom!!!

aaaaa It's not that special honestly! It's strange to hear it on a channel like Buzzfeed, but I hear it every day because I live in Louisiana.

Skincare routine probably

cities that are dominated by asians are the nicest places to live

Not sure how to respond to that. Are you talking about Asians in general like East, West, Central, North and South Asians or SPECIFICALLY East Asians?

Good genes, good eating habits, good workout routines, good sleeping habits, good skincare routines.

Cuz they go to school.

You look like a very cute Korean girl^^ You must be coming from the northern part of Chima near Korea

Well it if makes u feel any better, china s ming dynasty (1400-1600) is very very similar with korean joseon dynasty because they both emerge from mongolian rule, and as usual chinese influence spread to korea, both have intruiging history but china s history is completely forgotten wether its from the ming era or the tang era, while in korea u can even see the clothes are still worn

If anything though, that would probably be less identity confusion than being adopted by a white family

Oof

You're ethnically Han Chinese (are you? Since there's more than 50+ ethnic groups in China. I'll assume that you're ethnically Han. Do correct me if I'm wrong, aites), there's no doubt about that. It's in your DNA, and no one can change that. However, it's up to you to decide how do you define yourself and your identity. Greetings from a Malaysian Chinese :)

Izzy Woods 💀

She’s so goofy I love it 😂

Gabriel Mondragon nah that’s really how it is in Harris County. Everyone speaks like that.

That’s just because she’s from Texas...

She's for Louisiana and Georgia

Jeremy T. Innocent I agree, I’d be interesting.

Jeremy T. Innocent Right!!

@Jessica yes. i never see videos like those

@Jessica pretty sure NATIVES did that

Jessica you mean how the whites got here and forced natives to build land for them and then told them to leave yeah cause that history lesson makes it seem so righteous 🤦🏾‍♀️

Jenn'sCrazyLife no offence but i think they all got atleast 1 plastic surgery, nothing wrong with it, jsut sayying, cause all korean girls in my schools kinda ehhh not that prettty

Tenzin Tsepel i mean, they give operations as graduation gifts

Yall people that is not even streotype, THAT IS RACISM!!!!!

Tenzin Tsepel just cause the Korean girls in your school are not attractive doesn't mean that they had surgery on their face . Stop being stereotypical.

Tenzin Tsepel BuzzFeed just casted the pretty one i think. To attract people watching their videos

Which is which ? ( not trying to be racist, I’m new to buzzfeed outside of ladylike)Lol I’m not good with names. ALSO HI ARMYYYYYYY‼️‼️💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

Shruti Kalva yyes, I agree with u

I knowwww

Blackmilk The frequency Chinese eat dog meat is as much as Americans eat bear meat. There are dogs called meat dog. They are raised like pigs and different from any pet dog. There are 2 ways to cook dog in China: the Korean way and the Vietnam way. Korean way is dog meant hot pot with specify Korean dog sauces. The Vietnam way is toasted dog meant. (Never tried it) I don’t remember the taste of dog meat. Lat time ate it was 15-20 years ago. Basically I only remember Korean dog meat sauces taste great and the hot pot soup was like lamb. You mix soup with sauce too. I like lamb 10 times more than dog meat. Actually I ever tried peacock meat once. Tasted like chicken.

Quite many people don't get this culture, but it is just culture. In korean, there are not much plains! Mountainous districk is more bigger than plain. So they barely grow livestock. So meat was rear. That's big part of the reason why korean eats dog.

en ry I don’t think ppl understand that pet dogs and meat dogs are different. It is just like many Indians don’t eat beef because they think cows are holy there.

I am really sorry to say, i am a dog lover and i reaaaally feel sorry for them. 🤧

Rafa Rodhes a lot of people including me get made fun of cause of our names and our accents

She's Evan's girlfriend!!

J C She is though...

As an asian guy, I f her allll the time

Her face looks like she definitely went under the knife. Nonetheless she's pretty

Sarai M. Yess

Go watch the videos from Pero Like

Nathan Wee you are

Mexicans are illegal immigrants

john lee no we are not. There is no such thing as an “illegal” person. Educate yourself, not everyone here is undocumented.

wtf. for real?!

luv, goodbye. Yep, just search for ”amber liu and kirstin” on youtube, they have a lot of videos together

Thankyouuuu!!

luv, goodbye. Your welcome ☺️💓

Yes she is kiirstin Leigh

Kahil McLaurin those who are Asian but don’t act like it are called banana I think. Yellow on the outside but white on the inside. As part Korean it pisses me off because people always ask me if I like KPop and if I’m related to Kim Jong Un.

@@timdixon32 Wow, that sucks. I'm sure everyone has heard of the typical phrase, "Black people have white palms because God ran out of paint", that one sucks too, but that banana "jokes" is uncalled for, it's so rude.

Kahil McLaurin I’ve never hear the white palms one but maybe that’s good I haven’t. I mean the banana thing I don’t think people take offensive much but there are definitely some out there

Damn Asia’s are called bananas while blacks are called Oreos, Native Americans are called apples apparently, And Hispanics are called.....I don’t think they got anything, which is good 😆 everyone else included. Sad thing is people from our own culture calls each other this when we “act” or “talk” white smh 😔

Am late to this comment but I relate with what ur saying about not acting like the stereotype of ur own people. Am Mixed Mexican/ Spaniard who is on the lighter side with greenish orange eyes. People asking if My family was in legal,in the cartel or if Chapo was my uncle and so on. I will never forget the captain of the swimming team telling me I should try out, since I made the swim to the states.Growing up I was called wetback,mutt an whitewashed or nopal - that’s someone who doesn’t speak Spanish like they do in Mexico.I was born an raised in the states. of course I wouldn’t know the proper slang/language lol. My own people being my worst enemy since I didn’t really look like them. Am in my 20’s now and honestly looking back …. I just feel pity for them. They’ve made such a small box in their mind to live in,full of hate and ignorance. sadly many will never experience the diversity in this world. I wish u the best in life and ur right no matter what you are you and I am me! Nothing can change that :)

Kim HoiJin simp

She’s a mom?

moominie yeah and married, they have a yt channel

Anime_Dragon wow she looks so young..what’s their channel?

moominie "kir jer"

SAMEEEEE

in school, the kids and teachers would ask 'where u from?' and i'd say korea and they'd be like "...where's that? never heard of it" this was like 20 yrs ago though

same. & suddenly people want to be us? Or a fetishizing approximation of what they think we're like?? 🤢

Nana Luvz never knew that the Kardashians were a race or a culture

her name's kirstin and she has a youtube channel called KIRJER u should check it out!

Danna Jimenez she hangs out with Amber.

she has a youtube channel called KIRJER u should totally watch her

attack on terten Thanks: I’ve been trying to find more of her, all over Google.

Gods Child only person that said this 👍🏼

You would love Ryujin from Itzy

Can’t believe you were the only one who mentioned this...

agreed.

She looks like a girl from aoa named seolhyun

ruki 26 i wanna be her husband

blëuvełvets whats her ig or yt?

CEE El YT: KIR JER Insta: Kriistinleigh

blëuvełvets thank you !!!

Chinese look chinese and you will know when you are looking at a chinese person. I can assure if I didn't know that these women were Korean I would have guessed them as all Koreans or a few as Japanese

lol "for some reason" :-P

OMG yesss

Korea has the most beautiful women of the Asian countries

Veena-Vidya Raghu cuz their both asian.....lol

alrightyy

I like her southern accent

I'm not fearless tho

the girl that said "be fearless" is so freaking hot...

do you want to marry another korean or nah

Jennifer Kim same! About the racism and stereotypes, one time, these group of Mexican girls walked up to me if I ate dogs and I was like: 🙃🙃🙃😑😑😑😐😐😐😡😡😡

Sara do ur parents want u to marry a korean

Jennifer Kim thats a sad truth

Dark Soul then you're just lucky

awonderingcloud 0-0 she had a RU-vid channel but what was it called again? Cause I just forgot it lmao

Nadia A. it's KIR JER

whoa she has a baby? I find her off-putting actually

Yeah me too.. I was like, isn't that Kirstin from EmilyGhoul's youtube video? Then I clicked ant watch this video right away. LOL.. Love her because she is so freeeeeee and very funny ofc.

ohhhhhhhhh that's why I know her haha

scartissuex1 Actually I know what I'm talking about, American Tv shows are nothing like korean Tv shows , korean variety shows are so versatile and unique, such as happy together, runining man, let's eat together, hello counselor , law of the jungle , and sooo much more , and the editing is amazing.

scartissuex1 why don't you name somw american Tv shows ' that you think are an inspiration to korean variety shiws and I'll judge by myself ' although I know it's not the same, and I know more about korean culture than american culture because it's richer.

Who wants a clean tv show lolll

scartissuex Actually korea copied some of it from Japan few years ago but not now. Korea entertainment culture such as music or variety shows has grown up much higher than Japan

actually, america has copied korea numerous times lol. for example, the good doctor.

Hello pretty 🌹

Asian women are beautiful. Make that, women *are* beautiful.

tieuquy linthinh (I'm pretty sure)their both parents are Korean. So There's no difference that you were born in US or not. That's irrelevant. Lol Something special in the American water? 😂😂

tieuquy linthinh that doesn't change anything 😂.

Just look at those gorgeous female korean idols

겸쥰이 yeah and those are the ones with the most cosmetic surgery and makeup lol

Yeah ikr

Lmao thats what I thought

Right??? Thought so too

Kirstin looks like a grownup Nayeon from Twice 🤗 Once where u at? 🏳️‍🌈

as a korean that has been through so much of that, thank you

yes omg

Why is this also me Everytime my friends see an Asian person they just assume they're all Korean 😂😂

PREACH! :)

Oh hey! Where are you from, I live around Lafayette.

they talk like that here too in Georgia

Me being from the shreveport area ..I was like woah she sound like a southern girl.

same! it feels kinda rare to see people talking about being from louisiana in the content i'm suggested, so it was a cool lil surprise. i'm from new orleans, but went to school in baton rouge and have a lot of friends from shreveport. it's cute when she gets into her accent lol

I lived in Monroe and Baton Rouge Louisiana for a year... and that girls accent was spot on..lol

멍뭉이 This is totally me and my mom😂

멍뭉이, because you are very smart. You will able to speak both language fluently. Speak Korean entirely with Mom since you have to deal with English at school naturally. Not forgetting your native language is very important and admirable. Try to speak better in Korean. It is THE language of genius.

Lol same here but I speak spanglish

Asension Martinez 😂 Me too. I think most bilingual people would do this

Same with german-turkish lmaoooo
