  • I think it's less worse than being half Korean in Korean


    I I mean ... the negativity I heard towards mixed idols. Jun of the Japanese group Orbit for example said he felt very misstreated for being only half Korean and not really understood the language that well so he decided to go back to Japan. Another times I heared of a half black vocalist who was originaly about to be in a girlgroup but she was bullied for her skincolor and left the agency.


    I know many kids around the globe could say weird things that may hurt someone else but often times when you grow older the problems most of the time disapear. I know someone who is half Arabic and she said it opend her many doors. She is now working as translator since the company she aplied to was like "oh you speak Arabic? Thats cool, we could need someone for translations"


    I bet as long you don't encounter a rude Karen or flatearther too often it won't be that bad as an adult.

  • 2:06 in the video. That reminds me a bit of Ryusei from the boygroup BALLISTIK BOYZ. He said he usualy speaks Portugese at home with his mother. He also expressed that he felt a bit bad about it as a child, because his mother altho being in Japan for over 20 years now barly speaks the language and he spend more time with her than his dad or other Japanese relatives so he grew up being better in Portugese. He said it was a struggle as he came into kindergarten and later on primary school, because he barly understood a word and had no idea how to talk to the other kids.
