In the last interview I remember (which was last year) they didn't actually answer the question but only said they'd answer bit by bit. They lived in America for a few years and in China so...
This is the translator note from the interview A lot of people seem to assume that the twins are half Korean and half Chinese because their profiles say “Korean-Chinese”. However, this could also mean Koreans living in China or of Chinese citizenship. http://tastytwinsfacts.tumblr.com/post/30887443821/snippets-from-sukira-radio-12-08-31-part-1
At Idol Olympics they had a Chinese flag on their lanes...and obviously Chinese names
Ah, interesting. Thank you :D. I'm asking because they seem really close with the chinese folks in kpop, like there was a time when EXO won for Growl and they went to go give Tao a hug.
Because they speak Korean, Chinese, and English I presumed they were like Kris...but that's not the case.
They passed the JYP audition and then trained in America so...they either were China first and then went to Korea or were raised in Korea and learned Chinese there...*shrug*
on that radio show with zhou mi, fei and jia, zhou mi asked them something like, "isn't it much more comfortable to do a show in chinese?" and the twins answered, "yes, cos it's the mother tongue", or something very similar....but, their Chinese didn't seem that "comfortable". implies to me that they were born/raised in China? then maybe moved to Korea/USA?
Although this isn't 100% confirmed from what I heard they were born in China but are of korean ethnicity, which would explain why they have accents in both languages.
I'm so glad that they came out with a dance version. I actually really like this song (I think all of my faves should do 90s throwbacks), but I'd much rather watch Tasty dance in a box than watch the mv.
