Thank you for sharing your experience, I hope things will work out and the pain of being a third culture child will be somewhat relieved <3

I love the video from John ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😊

Hi, I’m sorry you are going through a hard time. What you said resonated with me, when I’m with Chinese, I feel Korean, when with Korean, I feel Malaysian. My mom’s from Korea & my dad is Malaysian of Chinese descent & I’m born & raised in Malaysia. I never felt like I’m Chinese eventhough, Chinese in Malaysia identifies as Chinese, language, food, customs & culture are still practiced even after 3 generations. There are shared service centre jobs in Malaysia, that requires native Korean speakers, if you ever consider living somewhere new. Stay strong, you seem like a positive person & you’ll figure something out eventually. Take care 🫶

I think being half is a culture and identity of its own.

I think that your Korean and Japanese background is a wonderful asset. You also speak Japanese, Korean and English which is an 9:50 9:50 😊outstanding accomplishment. I think you must be an excellent teacher as well. With so many outstanding gifts, I am certain you will find a way to return to
Korea in the future. You are an exceptional young woman from an excellent background. ❤😊

I’ve experienced an identity crisis as well. I’m also half Korean and half Japanese, and I was educated in both Japan and Europe.

For me, working in an international environment really helped me overcome it. I became more confident because I could use both languages as a strength, and I was also able to make a good living from it.

What I especially liked was that my Japanese colleagues didn’t look at me strangely when I didn’t understand all the Japanese “unspoken rules.” In an international environment, being different wasn’t something I had to apologize for. It was actually part of what I could bring to the table.

So I think you don’t necessarily have to choose between being Korean or Japanese. Maybe finding an environment where both sides of you are useful and accepted can make you feel much more comfortable with who you are.
頑張ってね、화이팅！

I know you are struggling with your own personal identity and it’s difficult for you. I am also a mixed Asian. I identify as Japanese, Filipino, and Irish but people think I am Chinese. I don’t know if you struggle with the fact Japan did bad things to Korea during WW2 and if you struggle with the history of the war. I think you are a very special person with a story to share. I think you need to continue to make videos about your life. I think you need to find Zainichi Koreans in Japan to create a community with them so you don’t feel sad. ❤

Just saw the title and subscribed right away......I was exactly feeling that rn and thinking I'm the only one.....but holy yt algorithm y'all.......Ohhh gurlll this is so relatable in fact I'm also a mixed asian. I identify as japanese, korean, filipino, part indian and less but yeah Chinese too.❤ I can completely understand I seriously felt like I'm the only one and I've got teased and bullied for that in my school too..... And sadly ended up with no friends at all....... I feel so bad lonely and sometimes outcast too........ But seriously, I've learned a lot by suffering I also used to cry a lot and was scared usually I only told people one ethnicity but now, suffering has made me much more mature and stronger that now I embrace all my cultures very well and proud to be an Asian....🎉 Now I'm not scared anymore instead I feel happy and unique and grateful that I got to be soo much in this life and not just tied to one identity.....I was in a huge identity crises but now I'm happy and confident that I'm not limited to one thing, I'm limitless, unstoppable and I'm everything❤ and I'm with you I can understand everything you've gone through and I know you'll also realise this very soon that it's a blessing rather than curse❤🎉 and also I'm actively working on all languages I'm tied too rn and I'm happy to be multilingual I know it's not easy, sometimes when I'm overwhelmed I mix all languages in a sentence. But I think that's cool and yeah I love it I love myself and the beautiful, unique and unstoppable just everything I am. I also used to feel the exact same like when I was with a particular grp, I used to feel like I'm from the other ones and when I was with that grp, I used to feel like I'm from another..... But trust me, we can work hard and cure everything and when I was completely isolated and alone, I started to embrace the uniqueness and yeah absolutely, I love myself more than anything now, if someone lemme choose this version of be of one ethnicity again, I would still choose the mixed one.

Hello. My mother is from Korea and my father has Japanese ancestry but was born in Hawaii. I grew up in Korea as a child surrounded by my Korean family. I have no connection to my Japanese side other than my family name. So, I identify as Korean. Even if others see my face and don't see a Korean, I know I'm Korean. That's all that matters. If you want to embrace both cultures, that is fine. If you feel more Korean, then that is fine, too. I love Japan, but I do not identify as Japanese. I hope you find your peace one day about your cultural identity. Big hugs to you!!

Stop trying to make other people happy or make them like you. Life is transient, stop wasting your mental energy on these types of issues (that you can't fix), including the past. The moment you do and focus on the present (by enjoying the moment), you'll realize your "difficulties" are minuscule (in the grand scheme of this world) and your happiness/future is in your control.

Come to America. Your half will be unique here.

I am saying this, I am in the same spot but I have a clear direction to be in. Long short story, I was born in X country but I have not much in common with my own country and got pretty much influenced by Y country. That however despite how much I want to be,  it doesnt make me not an X citizen

You are Korean and never not be a korean. You were born and raised in Korea, raised in korea custom fashion and that makes you are korean. You are confusing ethnicity and nationality. Your parent maybe from japan that make your Ethnic japanese root  but if you are born and raised in korea, you are korean. It is natural that when you are living another country, you become custom to the culture and though you become "more japanese". That however doesnt make you not korean LOL, quite the opposite.  I am sure you know that alot of people for example from the south Vietnam has been living in the US for 20, 30 , 50 years and that doesnt make them american but their kids are american because they are born and raised there

In short, abandon your korea root is naive and it is totally normal to grow custom and be more japanese when you are living in japan and wanted to become a japan citizen. So to answer your question, yes when being asked its totally normal to say you are korean and be happy if people also recognize you as japanese because you have been living here over 10 years and be the japanese part that you always wanted. Your kids however in future if you ever be married will be japanese if they are born and be raised in Japan
