STRUGGLES LIVING in the PHILIPPINES for 20 YRS 🇵🇭 | Juwonee 

the way you act, your personality, the way you talk you are more a filipino than a korean, that makes you a FILIPINO.

i say that you are a FILIPINA, a beautiful Batangueña.

I can relate so much with your struggles. My parents are Korean and I was born in PH. Lived here for 20 years. I've grown up speaking in Korean with my parents, study english in school, and talk Eng-Filipino with Filipino friends. It's quite frustrating sometimes but at the end of the day, I feel blessed. :)

It's trippy when you meet any non-Filipino with perfect Tagalog. A lot of Filipino kids born in the Philippines these days don't even speak Tagalog.

14:25 FYI to non-Filipinos • Juwonee can be classified as Tagalog based on her tongue and grassroot culture. • Filipinos believe and uphold tongue (dialect) and grassroot culture (social mindset they embrae), not race, in determining native class. Eg, an Ilocano father (northerner) and Cebuano mother (Southerner) can have Tagalog children. • Juwonee is an ethnic Korean. ✔️ Juwonee is Tagalog by tongue and grassroots. ✔️ Juwonee is therefore a Tagalog- Korean. ✔️

Ang isa sa pagiging Pilipino ay nasa puso..di lang sa lahi..pusong pinoy ka juwonee..not to mention isa kang KABATANG..🧡🇵🇭😊

You're a true blooded Pinoy by heart & soul for me. Pinay na pinay ka na kasi you embraced the Filipino culture. ❤❤❤

Doesn't matter whether you identify as a Korean or a Filipino. You are special, you are exposed to different cultures growing up which means you have a greater understanding of others beliefs, attitudes, and behavior. You are more accepting and sensitive to different cultures. You are you and you are AWESOME.

In sociology, you are called a "third culture child". meaning you belong in a culture (korean) but grew up in another culture (filipino). thus the onset struggle - cuture shock, etc. 😊

Koreana man ang nationality mo pero sa Pilipinas ka na lumaki, tanggap ka ng buong sambayanan. Basta wag mo lang kalilimutan kung saan ka nagmula. Koreanang Pilipina ka na kaya walang maghuhusga sayo. Yun lang ading. 👍

Ang taas talaga ng entertainnent value ng mga videos ni Juwon! Kaya lagi pinapanood kaagad... good vibes at pampatanggal pagod... hehe

Hi Juwon😉 You’re a Korean by blood but Pinoy at heart ❤️ since you’ve lived long enough in the Philippines, you have transformed into a Filipina - characterized by your actions/ways, values and speech 😂😂😂 and we have adopted you already 🥰 We love you as a KoPino/ KoPinay?😁

Kung dito ka sa Pilipinas lumaki at nakuha mo ang kultura at language at Philippine citizen ka, you should have no hesitation to say you are Filipino because you are.

Hi, Juwon, I understand where you’re coming from. I’m a Filipina born & raised here in the U.S. and MUCH older than you (hoy, I’ll be 60 soon!). I don’t speak Tagalog regularly, pero naintindihan ko kasi my parents spoke to us in Tagalog but did not enforce that we answer in Tagalog, so English ang sumagot ko. And it doesn’t help that I inherited my great-grandfather’s Chinese looks (ang mga Pinoy sinasabi maliit ang mata ko pero I tell them Pinoy ang ilong ko, look, look!) so people don’t identify me as Pinay. “You’re Chinese, right? Or Japanese or Korean, or .” Heck, they’ll even guess Hawaiian BEFORE FINALLY guessing Filipino! 😂 An elderly Chinese woman even yelled at me for not speaking Chinese because she said, “Oh, you are Chinese, you need to speak Chinese!” 😮 The “Taga saan ka?” question pops up a lot when I speak to older Filipinos (yung mga titas, titos, nanays, etc.), then having to explain I was born in the States and then identify where my parents came from in P.I., it’s a lot to explain and I have to do it EVERY TIME. And not being 100% fluent in Tagalog, speaking Taglish is my only option when speaking to my “countrymen”. Are they even my countrymen? Since all my cousins, aunts & uncles live in P.I. and are Filipino, can I claim mga Pinoy as my countrymen? Are the U.S. people my countrymen? I’m sure you see my quandary. Anyhoo, I enjoy your videos, I can identify with them, you speak much better Tagalog than I can, and I love hearing you speak Tagalog/Filipino-style English/Korean, it makes me smile and want to be with my extended family there. Don’t get discouraged, you are a gem!

ako rin mam dito na lumaki sa pinas, ung side ng mom ko is scottish then ung side ng tatay ko is japanese. I can understand u how you experience talaga lalo na sa language. pero pag tinatanong ako kung saan ako galing or taga saan ako. sasabihan ko lang na pinoy ako taga cebu. proud Bisayawa. mokaon og ilaga nga siomai.

You are a Filipina by heart. Filipinos are mixed and multiracial. keep it up and be proud of who you are and your background.

Kung ganun, alam ko na Filipino-Korean ka. Dalawa yung pagkatao mo, tanggapin mo na. Alam ko naman na proud ka sa sarili mong na achieve.

I also have a korean friend and the respect I have for you guys who were kind of forced to learn 2 languages at the same time. HUGE RESPECT talaga, grabe.

I am batangueña❤❤❤ that's why i love juwonee,walang kaarte arte ,chill lng.barako magsalita😂😂😂

3:04 Meteor Garden (2001) was the Taiwanese drama that is based on the Japanese manga Hana Yori Dango (Boys Over Flowers), which also spawned a Japanese drama and Korean drama of the same name, Chinese remake of Meteor Garden, and a Thai version of Boys Over Flowers. Meteor Garden was integral to the boom of the popularity of Asianovelas in the Philippines. The cast of the 2001 Meteor Garden went on to be popular boy band in Asia using their group name from the manga F4 as their band name, until they had to change it to JVKV, the initialisms of each of the member's names (Jerry, Vic, Ken, Vaness) due to copyright issues with Shueisha, the copyright holder of Hana Yori Dango. One of their most notable songs was the Mandarin version of "Can't Help Falling in Love" recorded for the Asian version of the Lilo & Stitch soundtrack.

Don't think that you are not pretty Juwon because you compare yourself with the Idols. I've been to South Korea, you are more beautiful than most of the Koreans I've met and saw back then. Korea is a beautiful place especially in fall season. Wonderful Memories.😊❤

You are unique and very distinctive from other people which is very very good because you are not a cookie-cutter and boring just like everybody else. You are very lucky to have a multi-cultural background which made you who you are right now. Embrace it and enjoy it. Not all people appreciate what they have and never know who they really are unlike you! Keep it up and you will have a very bright future ahead of you! Love your vlogs! Very funny and witty. 😊

Pinoy sa puso yan ang mahalaga you belong with us..physical features not important.. 🤗

Actually sobrang ganda ng closing statement mo. Ang daming layers ng tao, depende kung paano tayo pinalaki, nakisama sa mga tao, lugar na tinirhan, etc. In short, we are a product of circumstances. Anyeong :)

ang galing nyo mag salita ng tagalog talaga ❤❤❤❤❤

Yay thanks sa bagong content No Skip Ads team ako basta para sa iyo juwonee❤❤❤❤

you were Korean by race ...but a Filipino by heart♥ and we love you always ...

Hello, Juwonee! I really love and appreciate your positive personality. Perhaps, you are unaware that you have been transmitting good vibes to your viewers - subscribers or not. On the other note, I was once one of the stay-in educators for Korean students who visited the Philippines for a month-long English camp. Keep up the good work and may God continue to bless you and your loved ones. 😇👍❤️👍😇

Embracing Filipino culture,speaking our language and being Filipino by heart makes you a Filipino.

Simple: Korean by blood, Filipina by heart and mind.

I love the way you talk, natural Filipino intonation... Loved it ❤

100% agree with you regarding language. My close friend grew up in Iligan and her mother tongue is Cebuano/Bisaya. She's fluent in Tagalog, English, and Cebuano, but to this day, sometimes she still has to stop and think, how to translate some words in Tagalog. e.i. the word Puhon. You'll hear this to most cebuano speaker but there's no one exact word that directly translate this in Tagalog. Puhon means God willing somewhat like Inshallah in Arabic.

Just be yourself, love yourself, don’t mind what others think of you. You are beautiful, smart, and stay kind.💜☝🏼🥰

We love you Juwon! Doesnt matter kahit lumabas na kung saang ibang bansa ka pa galing basta nakakatuwa ang personality mo napaka genuine!

You really impressed me with your Filipino accent. I am one of those who got addicted to Korean dramas and my NO.1 favorite Korean actress is Ha Ji Won. I have watched almost all of her films and my favorites are Secret Garden, Empress Ki, King of 2 Hearts and more.

I like you Juwon because you are funny, and you are being true to yourself 😁

Juwonee never mong iisipin na "tinimbang ka ngunit kulang". Your identity is complete. Nagkataon lang na isa kang KorNay - Koreanang Pinay. ❤ Kudos to you, I enjoyed this vlog. Annyeong! 😊

This girl is sooo cute and funny. This is why you're getting more followers, it's coz you're so natural and authentic, whether pinoy or korean, You yourself is charming already. 😊😊

malunggay....Moringa...And you are the Gorgeous product of two Beautiful cultures.....You are both Korean and Pinay.

Sarap magkaroon nang kaklase nang taga ibang Bansa Lalo na mga Korean☝️😘🥰🇵🇭🇰🇷

Si Jumong at si Jang Geum talaga nagsimula ng lahat eh haha, and if nalilito ka, you're a Filipina who happens to be Korean

WOWWW! I'm so proud to have you as my 'kababayan'! Ang galing mong mag-ngas-ngas ng Batangueno expression in a very natural way! Hige kabayan, asbok laang! Salamat.

Make it simple, you’re both. Practice the good parts of both culture. Keep your friends close, and everything will be fine

shet dami kong natututunan through you Juwon!!! Keep making Q&A vids!!! To me they are all very interesting and entertaining and informative!!! Keep up the good work!!!

kahit tumataba ka, maganda at cute ka parin sa aking mga mata.... nakaka-inLove talaga po kayo... na-iinggit ako sa Tao na pinili mong pinapayagan mong mahalin ka at ibigay sa kanya ang lubusang pagmamahal mo at kaluluwa

For me, you are the best!! You are more than a Korean and a Filipino,, you are the sum of both!!!

You are who you are and love that being the person you became embracing both cultures you grew up with😊❤

Juwonee idol,, pls put subs if you're going to speak korean,, at least we'll learn a few words from you from time to time,, cute mo mag korean, astig mo mag batangeña, fluent mo mag tagalog.,, ❤❤❤❤❤thanks😍

You are so lovable a Korean yet Filipina in so many ways. I get a kick watching your Filipina ways. You get me so entertained by your conversations.

Nice! Gusto ko ung personality netong SI jowonee, kuhang kuha mo tlga ung Tagalog accent..

You are exquisite pure Filipina fluent in tagalog than Korean. You 're half phil. & half korean

i really like the way you talk about this topic, its funny and real. love watching your vids!!

Juwonee anak napaka natural mo, napa husay at mapag kumbaba ka. Nakakatuwa at ramdam ko bilang isang tita or ajuhma ( sorry di ko alam kung tama ba spelling at gamit nun ) na ikaw bilang isang Koreana ay may malasakit at pagmamahal sa Pilipinas. Ramdam na tunay kang mabuting tao at pinalaki ng maayos ng iyong magulang. Sana ay maging matagumpay ka sa ano mang hangarin mo sa buhay. You are awesome!

Ang cuteeeee❤

Nakakatuwa ka Ate kasi yung way mo mag deliver ng mga words at gestures Pinay na Pinay kahit Korean Blood ka. You feel more Filipina to me. Astig ka girl Tropang Tropa mode. Hihihi

Okay na okay… ❤️🇵🇭🇺🇸

I'm a new Subscriber. Watched several of your videos. And I like them. Thanks for lighting up my days, Mabuhay ka!

Tama din iyong sinasabi ng mga nag comment, na dahil mahusay kang mag tagalog at lumaki, nag aral ka sa pilipinas from elementary to college. At nakatira ka sa Batangas " Ale e Pilipinang Batangueniya ka at napakaganda. So you can consider your self as Filipino-Korean. Mas magandang pakingan ang Pilipino-Korean kasa Korean-Pilipino.❤🎉😊

Sa tingin ko you have a great personality and your beautiful.

Akoy natutuwa sayo mam na marunong ka mgsalitang Tagalog salamat sayo paninirahan sa aming bansa sna mgtagal kpa dto manirahan

I enjoy watching your vlogs! You're a real Batangena in your heart and soul! Love it! ❤Embrace your versatility! 👍

Many celebrities in the world have a lot done on their faces. So the Kpop girl you mentioned doesn't look anything like the locals here in Korea and the same in PH, but both countries have their natural beauties. I think you're pretty and fun to watch. As for asking where you're from, simply say, 'I'm from Earth'. Thank you for being an awesome person!

Juwon kung saan puso mo, yun ka talaga💕

Confirmed. The way you talk, act and mannerisms are Filipino. You're officially a Pinay in the body born out of Korean parents. Mabuhay ka ate at more blessings sayo 😊

Hi, Juwon. Anyong nga saeyo! I am your new subscriber. I watched your vlogs before and I really like how you promote the Philippines in all aspects. Kamsa ham nida! When I was in the U.S. Navy, our carrier visited Busan twice and we didn't have any problems whatsoever associating with the locals. When I became a civilian 4 years later, I had a job in the technical field and I was sent to Seoul for a month to aid our counterparts there. They were so generous and accommodating every which way while knowing that I am a Filipino-descent living in California. Your video contents are very good, please keep it up. Kamsaham nida!

Nakaka-aliw pakinggan at panoorin….

You’re super Kyut Missy 🥰🤗Stay safe always

Don't worry gwapa maraming nagmamahal na mga pilipino isa na ako gwapa❤❤❤😊✌

Hello Ms. Juwon, new subscriber here 😊 I came across the 2nd part of this video (I believe) first and since I really enjoyed it, it led me here... 😊 Kakatuwa talaga ang 'yong pagka-pinoy, lutang na lutang sa pananalita at personality 😊 As a Filipino, it's heartwarming to see foreigners speak the Filipino (Tagalog) language fluently ❤ You may be a Korean national but living/growing up in the Philippines has made you embrace the Filipino culture and shaped you the way you are 😊 I believe it's a blessing that you share both cultures (Korean and Filipino) and that makes you real amazing! 😊

Dont change, kahit sumikat ka pa lalo. Love your personality. Humble at very natural. Hindi pa cute or pa sosi

Ang Importante Juwon, kung saan ka masaya...

I love this video. You made me laugh. God bless Juwonee!

Maganda nga yan marami kang alam. Keep it up.

ang cutie mo magsalita ,,love watching how you speak pati gestures

Instead of feeling negative and looking at your identity duality as a struggle, look at the bright side and accept that you have the best experience of both worlds.

Nakkatuwa at very entertaining ka Juwonee. U r very natural.

Anyong juwonee.....proud filipino tagalog words

Kapag tinanong ka uli nang "Ano ka?" Ang itugon mo: "PREANOY" tapos kantahon mo to: 🎶 Preanoy ikaw ay preanoy. Ipakita sa mundo kung ano ang kaya mo. Ibang-iba ang Preanoy. Huwag kang matatakot. Ipagmalaki mo. Preamoy ako, Preanoy tayo 🎶

You are what you want to be Juwoneeeee❤️💜💛 that's a great advantage, malawak ang horizon mo sa mga culture na exposed ka💜 you are unique and blessed💛
