![Can American guess ASIAN nationality by their Chopsticks? [China Japan, Korea Chopsticks difference]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/gsz0ZoBjN3Y/mqdefault.jpg)
That's like saying:
"Can an Asian distinguish German, French and British people"
Mexican, peruvian and colombian....
Russian, Belarusian and Ukrainian..
Algerien morocan and tunisien..
Well you can tell the difference lol.
@@CobaltLancer Russian, Belarusian and Ukrainian would be very difficult for me as a Brit 🇬🇧🏴 I never see Russian, Ukrainian or Belaruian spoken unless I see footage of Putin, Zelensky or Lukashenko speaking, so Russian, Ukrainian and Belarusian sounds the same to me.
Why did the director have him sitting in such a spot so that he's continually straining awkwardly over each shoulder just to look at them? 🤔
His chair is literally further forward than the rest so he has to look backwards lmfao.
@@chickenmadness1732 😂
For comedic effect
That's what I was thinking the whole time he was straining to look at them smh.
This channel has always been bad at seating people 🤷🏻♂️
If you are observant enough, it’s quite obvious because chinese, koreans and japanese have their own distinct facial features. Not to mention, how they dress and how they carry themselves. But to someone who is not used to seeing these nationalities, it might be difficult.
Exactly!!! Its not all about clothes and make up lmao
Yes. İt was easy for me.
Teeth , jaw
True
Yupp
This is surprisingly easy I got them all correct in like less than 2 secs of guessing
same, it was really obvious
Yeah, to me the features look very distinguishable
I tried guessing watching the thumbnail and lol i got them correct too! But it is so hard to tell sometimes HAHH
Same! I was surprised at myself 🤓
Me too just from the thumbnail.
korean girl was so obvious. she's got hair and clothes like every K drama protagonist
Wasn't 🥲
@@Milvata it was tho
오우
I personally found the three of them relatively easy to distinguish, because even though they are all Asian, there's some differences between Chinese, Japanese and Korean people, but I did need a couple minutes looking at each one of them to be able to tell. For me it was more about the eyes and face shape than clothes (although I've definitely seen some kdrama stars dressed that way 😂).
@@eduardaarrais same. Their features made it obvious for me!
His name is Harry and he looks like James Potter
OMG, totally!!
So... Is he Harry Potter?
And he came here to try his luck for an Asian Lily 😎
I think you mean Harry Potter
@@kingastaroth7912 nope... he is James Potter
I'm Chinese and I can tell the difference between Asian people from their facial structure, fashion, mannerisms etc. but for the life of me I can't tell apart Westerners hahaha
I feel better now. As a westerner I sometimes can tell Asian people apart but 50 percent (or usually more) I fail.
Same.
It's harder to tell someone from Southeast Asia since it's much more diverse in terms of looks.
@@jrexx2841 True!
@@joylynch5204 same
FYI to the people who are making comments like “can you tell the difference between an American and a whatever”. An American can literally look like anything. The overwhelming majority of us are not indigenous to this land. So unless you are talking about comparing the indigenous people and I certainly hope you can distinguish between a Choctaw and a Celtic person, you really should indicate race. Plus I know race is a social construct because none of us over here is completely anything if we’ve been here hundreds of years. Same with Australians. They have indigenous people who deserve respect.
Race is a social construct in terms of how it is categorized, but genetics are very real and you can very easily visually tell where someone is from because of how they look, but also because of their genetic footprint. Europeans do not look like Africans and Africans do not look like Asians.
There's another RUclipsr that asks geography questions and is able to pick out the Americans quite easily
Chinese are diverse too
And natives Americans , from north to south, looks like Asian people, so is very interesting how humans races are .
Ok but the argument is valid. Koreans Japanese and Chinese are all East Asians, the same race. It’s like me asking if u can distinguish between an ethnic French or Spanish person when they’re both literally the same race. It’s such a stupid question.
Chinese are diverse. Chinese are tall, short, fat, dark, pale, straight hair, slim...etc. That is because China is big and they are descended from many ethnic groups. Where as Koreans (peninsula and rugged mountains) and Japanese (Islanders) are relatively more homogeneous.
And don't forget the officiall 56 minority ethnic groups in china, each with a different culture, gene pool and often language.
Even though 97% of china is made up of Han people lol
@@Ghost_Kevlar it’s actually 90%, but yeah it’s still pretty high
@@Ghost_Kevlar Not really. In China, Everybody becomes Han Chinese even if you are not. For example, the Manchus all decided to become Chinese, so there isn't Manchus anymore.
@@Ghost_Kevlar north han Chinese have quite different gene from south han chinese,you can find it from Cantonese appearance obviously
China is too large and too diverse to be generalized, unlike Japan and Korea. For instance, there’re some obvious differences between northern and southern Chinese.
@@santiagorappy71 Yep, there's also a big difference between western and eastern China
Yes, China is large and diverse, but generally I can spot a Chinese tourist vs. a Japanese tourist vs. a Korean tourist. However, you could probably notice if someone is from the north or south of China (by sight) and there's no way I could do that.
Many people from China look a little bit like Russians, at least to my scandinavinan eyes. I've always thought that they might be from the western parts of China. Even this lady looks a little bit more european than the Japanese and Corean girls.
People dont understand the fact that china is as large as europe and has 2x bigger population than europe. So by logic, china should be considered a continent rather than a country, since there is huge diversity (not to mention languages/dialects) in the country. In fact, many chinese people migrated to nearby asian countries, so you should not be surprised if you suddenly think an indonesian or thai looks chinese. No wonder why westerners think every east asian is chinese, even though there is a bit truth in that. Anyway, whenever someone thinks an east asian person look chinese, then it is the same as saying you look european. I bet asians cant distinguish between swedish, norwegian, french, german, english, italian people, and dont even get me started on americans. Its literally europeans migrating to north and south america…
@@yongbae7910 Nothing wrong saying someone looks european though. We have a few basic looks that are typical european, although it overlaps quite a bit with middle eastern, slavic and asian looks of course. (Some say we are asian looking here in Sweden, Finland, Russia, etc). But what we don't have is a common langauge, like China has.
They're all very beautiful, but the Korean girl is STUNNING.
I barely noticed her tbh
@@leae3750I think she was the prettiest though, beautiful and simple yet chic ..the Chinese girl and the Japanese girl are obviously very very cute but their style is outdated ..
I could tell their ethnicities easily, at least in this case. Japanese people have usually more round face. Chinese people are much more diverse, but the woman had some minor Eurasian features, that can be seen on some people living in Russia (around the border of Mongolia and China itself etc) and Korean looked like pretty much an average girl from the Korean pop culture.
I wouldn't say she has minor Eurasian features; like you said China is diverse and her face is common enough and would be considered Chinese anyway.
@@wink768 You’re right. I was just saying how I saw it in my perspective. I know relatives who look like her and lives in Russia :)
@@xennia5380 yes russian people near Mongolian border or say like somewhere in yakutia, look like the Chinese girl.. She looks most eurasian out of the three
@@MaryK02 Yakutia is a Turkic place. Not Mongolian
i cant tell the difference with their faces
but i can tell the difference a little bit with their language and their names
Well, I don't think it would be that easy for a westerner to distinguish european looking people too. Sure, there are common features that are prevalent in different cultures (just like with every country in the world really) and that might give a hint. But it's pretty difficult overall. :)
Yes, a couple thousand years of invasions and new borders makes it hard to pinpoint a single country, especially in Europe. But the general trends as to how people look in different parts of the world are still there.
Exactly! I couldn't look at a group of white people from all over and pinpoint where someone is from. More often than not, the clothing and makeup styles are the only hints you have without actually hearing a person speak. It goes to show that the barriers between people are arbitrary. We're all similar in a lot of ways :)
The only way sometimes I can tell is from the accent but from looks I don't think you can really tell apart Europeans or even Americans
@@Stephanie-s2024 I sure can distinguish most (say) Danes from most Italians :D But why would it be easier to tell Americans apart from others? The ultimate genetic melting pot of the entire world (along with Brazil).
@@herrbonk3635 That's the thing, though. If no one is talking and everyone is dressed the same, you might think someone is a Dane and then find out they're an American. Haha
As a Japan-born Japanese, when I’m asked if I can tell Koreans / Chinese / Japanese apart, I usually answer that I often can, but because of the fashion, makeup and hairdos instead of physical features. It’s not possible to tell apart when the person is born and raised in the same country, or live long enough to absorb the fashion characteristics.
Agree i was born in thailand and i can't tell if someone is Japanese, Korean or Chinese.
@James Henry Smith it depends on the person. Some people look very distinctly one ethnicity. But some just look asian.
Same thing with white people sometimes you see someone and it’s like damn you are German, other times it just you white.
Not always true. With the intermingling of the people there are those who share similar traits enough that they could pass for most East Asian nationalities. But there are some with distinct features that make them more easily able to identify.
You can tell by their behaviour, if you're familiar enough with their cultures
I'm korean agree😀
Im pleasantly surprised!! His description are sharp and on point
This is way out of America's politically correct comfort zone, and I think if a US channel did exactly this video, it would get so much hate.
I think some conversations should be left to those who are the subject of the convo to facilitate and open that discussion. Whereas if others did it, it can come off as out of place and unwelcomed- especially coming from those who have no knowledge or interest in the topic. This way it’s more comfortable and inviting and educational. Also, Americans have the tendency to offend too much 🤣
I'm being called our here, and I got all but one wrong.
Fr Fr. You ain’t even lying. This channel or show would be cancelled immediately
Not really, in my opinion. Depends on how it's done maybe. But on the ground no one really cares that much. Too much media consumption may give the wrong impression.
Whatever. Nobody except the Americans would care about them doing anything outside their comfort zones
This guy's descriptions are on point!! Really really proud of him
You are everywhere
Not complaining
Official Sighting No. 20
I know right dude?
Less 1k likes huh?
I saw your comments on three videos in a row 😂
For me, Koreans are the easiest to identify because they have a smallish phenotypic variation.
Next, Japanese would be intermediate. They have a larger phenotype appearance especially when you have Okinawans who look less "typical Japanese" or the Ainu people who look have some "European features".
As large as China is, anything goes! They are the most difficult. Their appearance varied due to a large population, history and occupy a huge landmass.
Where can you meet Ainu people?
They are originally in northern Japan however because of the discrimination they faced, many are now integrated in the Japanese society.
@@DrEpicstein so they are not Japanese, they are minority.
Ainu have contributed to the Japanese gene pool. So there are Japanese who have Ainu ancestry; similar to Manchurian and the northern Han Chinese.
@@mcfly2410 i ask because some Japanese look similar to myself, probably because they have Ainu genes and my ancestors come from South Siberia.
IM PROUD I GOT THEM ALL RIGHT TOO 😭👏🏽😭😩 GOOD JOB HARRY! VIRTUAL HIGH FIVE 🖐🏽
I was right! :)
i love studying fashion, genetics, mannerisms, and different languages and cultures. It's super cool, and if more people took care in social studies, we could be a happier world and appreciate all the little differences in people, and love them for it. Every culture so so unique and meant to be loved and shared and appreciated together. I hope more people see this and start to realize everyone is unique and beautiful
Could be a Filipina working at a factory in South Korea.
Japanese: Heaviest make up around eyes
Korean: Reddest lipstick
Chinese: The rest is Chinese.
Chinese is hard to tell because so diverse. A lot of difference between people from north part and south part, between countries and cities...
actually chinese people love to wear red lipstick
Nah red lipstick is more Chinese than Korean.
I also think this. Distinguishing between Japanese and Korean is pretty easy there's a couple subtle features that's very unique to them. And if you don't notice any of those features then they're most likely chinese.
Depends on the japanese
both heaviest makeup around eyes n reddest lipstick are Korean features tho😅😅
this japanese girl's really into korean style n culture that's why she lives in korea i think. as japanese she doesn't look like japanese at all.
n ppl assuming women always wear makeup lowkey forces them to do it more like as if it's manner or smth. it's disgusting.
Harry is the image I tend to have when I think of young men from England... I try not to stereotype but there are some facial features and cultural norms that tend to be recognised by others when you pay close attention.
It's very difficult to define an English person, we have such a mix of dna in our gene pool that there is no typical look.
To be honest he looks like a lot of guys from Northern Italy. But again, in Northern Italy there were Celts settlements, and the Celts then migrated to England, so maybe that's why.
He could be from anywhere, even Italy, ignoring the language.
@@lauragoreni3020 most English people are Germanic, not celtic.
@@corumeach only countries I wouldn't think he's from are Spain, Portugal and Greece.
That was really cute lol. I liked the way he handled the situation. Definitely is very charismatic.
I wasn't expecting the Xiao Zhan picture cameo out of nowhere! I suspect the algorithm suggested this to me cause I'm binge-watching all his dramas at the moment...
Exactly. Almost all the videos in my recommendations are XZ RELATED NOW🤚😭
He was spot-on with his reasoning and choices!
@@corumeach I agree, but they are trying to create content and fill the time...some people are good at it, some people--not so much.
"In Japan they like to express their individuality a lot" Hilarious comment xD
thats true for the people that works in the entertainment industry tho
That's a fact.
I like how they express themselves in porn.
@@SoopaFlyism Kappa
When they do they go all out tho. Harajuku fashions for example.
I’m glad I watched this video and got all the answers right, makes me feel like I have genuine respect for their differences.
As Asian I can distinguish them well
But I always have hard time distinguishing westerner 😅
Im the opposite
Especially European like German English French
"westerner"
My first impression from left to right would be: japanese, chinese, korean
Okay I actually got it right

Alternative Title: "Can a Westerner Distinguish Han Chinese, Yamato Japanese and South Korean people?"
(Edit)
Alternative of Alternative Title: "Can a Westerner Distinguish Chinese, Japanese and South Korean Nationals, Subjects, Natives and/or Citizens Apart?"
Northern Han Chinese and Southern Han Chinese look different. There are also many Chinese descendents in Korea, such as people with the surname Jang or Hwang.
dont change the fact she shes still chinese, the other japanese and korean, so no. because if we really go down this road, take a dna test, and find out youre not 100 percent what you think you are, and probably got some ancetstry from neighboring countries. so you might not look exactly what you claim to be either way

when the picture of Xiao Zhan popped, I was like: well that really hard to guess, it gives off a The Untamed feeling, maybe.....maybe...maybe he's chinese!
LMAO YESS
Thin face, Chinese
I was screaming because I didn't expect him to pop up lol
juuuussstt maybe xD
@@woosansmatchingtattoo7469 right ahaha 🤣
I feel like watching Korean Japanese and Chinese dramas for most of my life thanks to living in New York really was a big advantage here cuz I got all of it right lol 😂🤣🤣🤣 love this channel right now.
I guessed correctly too - from their fashion and also their facial structures. Though all East Asians are uniquely beautiful (and there are always exceptions to my rules), I've noticed (Han) Chinese tend to have smaller sharp faces, "sharper" almond eyes (more angled upwards from the epicanthic fold yet they seem to have bigger irises than other east Asians, giving doll-like shining dark eyes which I find beautiful) and more prominent (larger or uniquely shaped) ears.
Koreans...they're very popular in the US media these days (BTS and kdramas), so you know how they dress and do their makeup and hair without much explanation. Their (typically speaking) social mannerisms alone are very telling (professional, friendly, polite, reserved). Their eyes tend to look more "smiley" because of more youthful prominent "eye bags"; and all around, they are soft and elegant in appearance. They are also often taller than most other east Asians, especially the men. If you see a very tall and polite east Asian man dressed quite fashionably, there's a good chance he is particularly Korean.
Japanese tend to have wider faces/chubbier cheeks and wider straighter noses with higher bridges than others, more uniquely shaped teeth (sometimes they have sharper canines, which gives a cute look when they smile paired with their gentle eyes) and bigger, rounder almond eyes. They are easiest to tell apart for me personally. Their hairstyles are still uniquely "anime" inspired, even for the men, you still see longer and shaggier hair as opposed to the shorter hair trends for men in the US or SK now (like the side shave or comma hair). They have a cute and lighter, friendly vibe in their fashion, typically speaking.
I also notice Koreans and Japanese tend to have larger lips, like Jimin, (which is trendy these days and very cute).
Just my observations, I hope I don't offend anyone if it seems stereotypical, as again they are always exceptions, and I am by no means an expert as I am a mixed race Mexican American girl. I just consume a lot of East Asian media because all of the culture over there fascinates me. I am sure Asian Americans are different too, as we Americans have our own different behavioral and fashion stereotypes as a whole. 😂
In the end, everyone is uniquely beautiful in their own way. Be proud of your God given heritage regardless.~
Awesome....your analysis is perfect🤣🤣
As a Korean, that's a great analysis.
perfect! Totally agree
I guessed them correctly 😄💪🏽I was literally just looking at the thumbnail when I guessed and came to the video and skipped to the part where they introduced themselves.
Great vibes from that guy, nice video!
I'm still waiting for videos comparing actual words in the three languages, such as adjectives. How they say "happy, sad, angry, relaxed, etc" in the three languages.
I mean, some words are similar, but most of them aren't that close it wouldn't be too intresring. They would have to pick out specific ones that sound similar
I havent studied korean but Im assuming a fair amount of korean and chinese words would be fairly similar as Korean has a lot of sino-korean vocabulary which used to also be written in hanja until about 50 years ago - like how japanese uses kanji (despite the readings being very different compared to modern chinese)
I live in Japan and I've also lived in Korea, so I've studied at least those two languages a bit. Those particular words aren't so similar, but some nouns and a words that come from Chinese are very similar. I'll put some examples below (romanized for people who can't read hangul/hiragana/katakana/kanji/hanja).
Library: deo-seo-gwan (kr) : tou-shou-kan (jp)
Thursday: mok-yeo-ir (kr) : moku-you-bi (jp)
Bag: ka-bang (kr) : ka-ban (jp)
Volcano: hwa-san (kr) : ka-zan (jp)
10,000: man (kr) : man (jp)
@@SketchyTigers depends on what you mean by fair amount
@@Kmisun library is intresting because in mandarin it's túshūguǎn. Btw romaji for library is toshokan
i got it right too!! why does that excite me so much
honestly i could always distinguish them idk how but it's just the vibe they give off when you look at their faces or even the lighting and the appearance when it comes to pictures
To be honest I've never tried to guess people's country by their faces because it's way easier and more accurate to guess based on people's style and their general behaviour
As a Chinese ,it’s easier to tell a Korean face for me . But between Chinese and Japanese,if I don’t hear them speaking or moving ,it’s very hard for me to tell
Interesting! I must say Chinese language is a mess though...
If your language wasn't so mysterious and "Shangri-La hidden in mist" hard, people would show more interest for China.
@@ABC-ABC1234 Hard... u mean the speaking, reading, or writing system? For Korean and Vietnamese, I think Chinese are easy to speak since there are so many chinese vocabs influenced Korean and Vietamese in ancient time(easier to understand some chinese vocabs when reading). For reading and writing system, Chinese are easy for Japanese people to learn cuz both languages use chinese characters...
@@chchard6296 The whole speaking/reading /writing is a mess if you ask me. And no link to an alphabet is a joke! At least arabic has a straight forward logic, although classified as hard, it's not insurmountable... The fact that an alphabet is lacking, and that every day people "discover" new characters even after studying the language for years, makes this language simply not worth it...
@@ABC-ABC1234 hello? It’s hard for u doesn’t mean it’s hard for every single one on this planet. For the Alphabet problem, u know Chinese are tonal language, do u? If Chinese language use the alphabet system, that will be totally disaster and nobody understand what each other are writing. Also, learning Chinese characters are helpful when establish logical way of thinking coz they were evolved from hieroglyphs. However, many of those who use alphabet system have problem of dyslexia.
@@ABC-ABC1234 And, it’s ignorant and arrogant to say ‘discover’ new character everyday, I just literally wanna roll my eye .🙄 if u learn 2k-3k characters, thats totally enough for daily use. 4K-5k is already enough to be a college student, scholars maybe a bit more. However, there’s over 10k vocabs to memorize for just daily use in English(English is the easiest in western language, so it’s endless to mention other alphabet language)
I got them right too! Agreed it’s easier to tell by fashion, makeup, and hair style differences. But it’s also a big advantage to have spent time in Asia or watching Asian shows. (I’ve also been living in Korea for some time.)
not gonna lie it was pretty easy for me to tell the difference i see a lot of people from china, korea (mostly in dramas) and for Japanese its mainly live actions (sometimes even vlogs on youtube) so 1- the style is kind of one of the reasons why it was easy and 2- the hair and makeup (mainly the korean one because i see that style a lot)
(i can sometimes tell if someone is from Taiwan but when it comes to thailand or indonesia i could get confused)
I'm surprised I got them all right just by facial features. Watching Asian drama have paid off in that way! Still hard to speak them since I switch what I watch (language wise) on a daily
If people would be guessing only these three girls, the majority would probably guess right, because they look exactly what you would expect to see in a textbook covering asian people😁
NICEEE. I just read the title and try to guess without watching I went to the end of the video and I could recognize them well😎😎 i feel proud lol
Wow ! More difficult than I thought ! Fun video thanks ....
I guessed them all just from the thumbnail lmaoo 😭
Sameee im vietnamese haha
We definitely need a PART TWO
Your video is excellent! A must in the world! Browsing your video is like going back to school again! Let me benefit for life! thank you for your sharing! I wish you health and happiness every day!
it's so easy to recognize them knowing a little about each culture
I think it would be interesting to do something like this but with the same clothes and style the hair the same way.
Yes , and they should get some , who look alike, ...----- Then it would a real challenge. As some others wrote: The three are SO much having the looks of "the typical" japanese, chinese and korean women.
I saw xiao zhan and my fangirl mood was👁️
Same ahahaha
Can't believe he was that popular to be shown here 😭❤️
I literally went :))) when I saw him pop up lol
Yes! I saw his picture and I went 👁👄👁 "i-...I already know he's Chinese"
he’s very perceptive, honestly really impressive that he was able to outline his thought process and how accurate it was
Suzuki Airi as the example for a person from Japan is amazing, she's definitely an ideal japanese idol lol
LMAOOOOO I thought it was a younger Jun Amaki.... my brain is broken!
seriously amazed by his logic and reasoning.
Chinese is the most difficult to distinguish
this was quite easy for me! even though I have never gone to those countries it's pretty obvious by some features and their clothes
me a chinese not being able to distinguish from the pictures 👁👄👁
Omg his name is harry, that reminds me of harry potterr
Yessss
OMG HE SECOND PIC IS ONE OF MY FAV CHINESE ACTOR 🥰🥰🥰
I'm from Brazil and we have a big Japanese population here so I've met many Japanese growing up
however when I went to Japan I was quite surprised to see that the Japanese people looked a lot more diverse and less stereotypically east Asian than the Japanese people in Brazil and the image I had of them, very eye opening experience
I was able to recognize each of them as soon as they came in. They hadn’t even sat down when I had already said Japanese, Chinese and Korean. I was surprised how easy it was for me to do that in a split second 😧
As a Scot who has lived in 3 different European countries. It is hard to tell Asian nationalities apart. but it might even be harder to tell western nationalities apart.
I got every single one of these right almost immediately after I saw them. I'm so proud of myself lol I didn't know that there is that much of a difference that I could obviously tell apart people.
me, an indian-singaporean getting everyone's nationalities correct because of too much east asian dramas lol
@James Henry Smith actually it is very common, there is a huge Indian population there
I was able to tell right away lol been watching too many dramas
pretty shocked I got everything right right away for the practice round :') I guess the people chosen fit the "stereotypes" we would consider as Chinese, Japanese and Korean if you are used to see idols or models from those countries ?
Oh, shoot. 2:10 I was caught off guard. Didn't expect to see Xiao Zhan there 🙈
Wow I guessed it right from the thumbnail. Actually impressed with myself not gonna lie 😆
i went by their facial features and got them right, they are quite easy to distinguish tbh
2:06
Him : I think he is Korean
Me : *YIZHAAAAAN* (only the untamed fans can understand)
can't get it
Lol I got you. I am an untamed fan from China
Haha & Xiao Zhan does not look Korean at all.
2:10
But yes. He is a idol 😂
Lol hi cql comrade
He seemed a bit nervous, but I don't blame him though. I'd definitely be nervous too. They're all so pretty.
Bruh, how did I get every single one of these correct. This is the product of watching Asian dramas and listening to music in Asian languages.
i love the japanese girl's split dyed hair, so cool!
Well I can't always guess the Korean, Japanese, and Chinese people correctly but I definitely know what kind of face they like based on their celebrities. Chinese celebs tends to have sharper features: long face, sharp jaw, sharp nose, not so full lips. Japanese celebs have larger features: small head with biger eyes, nose, lips. Korean likes softer features that looks harmonious together. When I first get into K-en, I kinda scratched my head knowing some female celebs hyped as "Goddess". I mean they're beautiful for sure, but nothing very striking for me. But as I enjoy K entertainment, I understand the kind of beauty that Korean like
Me being all three: *Laughs evily whenever I met new people and ask what ethnicity do they think I am*
Do you speak all three? Japanese, Mandarin, Korean? If so how fluent?
Like you mean you speak the language or are you all of these nationalities due to parents / upbringing?
Hey that’s actually pretty cool lol I would do the same if I were you it must be funny getting their reactions
What languages do you speak fluently in? :00
Haha I wish :') Took Japanese for 8 years and barely anything. My mom is trying to teach me Cantonese (by ear because she can't read) Now I'm taking Japanese again and Korean (I'm an English speaker)
He was so nice and respectful 😁👍
I love this
As an Asian, I can say that it’s quite easy for us to distinguish these three countries. On the other hand, it’s so so difficult for us as well if we have to guess ppl from European countries and the US. Lol
the way I SCREAMED at Xiao zhan’s photo
I’m so glad I got it right, 7 years of living in Asia have paid off👏🏼👏🏼
I really like the fashion style of each of them. Its modern but still with a cute modest/conservative touch.
Girls seem to be quiet today 😂
They're all used to each other and then you bring another person in right in the middle of a video, it gets too awkward.
They can't give it away by talking too much.
He's supposed sed to be guessing by how they look, and their voices and accents are pretty distinct.
It's pretty like "Can an easterner distinguish European Americans, Europeans and Russians?"
that's totally different story, u can't distinguish a white people judging by the look of them, while japanese, chinese and korean have slighty different figures
@@arsyad55not entirely true. many European peoples have very distinct looks, of course, disregarding the immigration and mixing.
@@arsyad55 Now that is just plain false. I can pretty much always guess in a general area in Europe of where they are from. To me, different regions have distinct features.
Russian is easily to distinguished
Russian is the most beautiful, so that if the girl is beautiful I will point out that she is Russian lol
Ngl i am very good.... No..... Excellent in this. It took me like a second
Got everything right both in practice and final, it's easy for me😚
2:11 omfg its Xiao Zhan.
"The skin is perfect, no wrinkles"
Ikr?!?! GG has such a baby face even now at 30 🤚😭💕
I legit guessed every single one right! 😂
The first guy had the thousand-layered haircut and the t-shirt underneath an open shirt/blazer, both things are incredibly prevalent in Japan. The second one is Xiao Zhan but maybe I would’ve had more trouble guessing if I didn’t know him. The girl in the third picture had very typical Japanese eyes. I feel like Japanese people have bigger eyes with a half-moon (think Dora The Explorer) shape.
For the three ladies, the Korean girl was wearing the most typical outfit and haircut you see minor characters in all K-dramas and people on Asian Boss interviews wearing. The Japanese girl was wearing really baggy jeans (I feel like Koreans prefer more structured trousers) with an unusual layering, something you see a lot on Tokyo street fashion shots. The Chinese lady I guessed from elimination.

I'm proud that I got it all right including the picture quiz
I grew up in the Philippines and my godfather from England used to wonder how I could tell apart Japanese from Chinese. And then I moved to the US and met a lot of Vietnamese, a few Cambodians and Hmongs. I also started watching Korean dramas. For me, it became harder to tell at that point.
Omg I got all the pictures right xD I already knew the girls though, so I couldn't guess. I guess that means I've been watching too much asian entertainment LOL
You can never watch too much asian entertainmen,,,but you have sleep some time.
Very interesting. Have to look at it again.
Yes. They could be Filipinas working abroad.
Could be Fatou the Senegalese Korean.
The outfit that Chinese girl is wearing is pretty dope in my opinion, that top was pretty cool and such a nice skirt 👍🙂
It's hard to distinguish them, especially the Japanese girl because her makeup is so Korean look. The makeup even changed her eye look, which actually we can see the difference of Chinese, Japanese, and Korean from the eyes.
no, its too heavy for korean, she has black eyeliner. standart korean makeup is less colorfull and obvious, they dont tend to use black
I’m too hype that I figured this out just from the thumbnail, I skipped through the entire video just to see if I was right and I was! Also helped to know it was only 1/3 possible choices versus all the other nationalities they could have been. Don’t assume in real life though, just ask if you’re really curious.
6/6. 2nd photo was a bonus 😄
Harry's got to be the luckiest nerd ever... Kudos to him...
