She gets to perform some of her kpop renditions and boogie down with Korean top stars. Also witness her to dance Rainism barefoot... LOL Anyhow it's altogether quite hilarious as she seems to be also pretty good sport in variety show sector.
bitch how hard is it to at least say natalie white imnedia? (yes, i'm aware that i totes butchered the romanization lol). seriously even i can introduce myseld and say what country i'm from in korean.
that's pretty cool tho. i'm too lazy to watch the whole thing but i'm assuming they hired a translator for her so she wouldn't be totally lost on wtf was going on, because i know when i'm watching variety shows even with subs i'm like WTF IS HAPPENING, WHY ARE THEY DOING THIS?, so i can't imagine going in there blind~
No I mean I just worry, I can only base this on Japan, but with foreigners who do sing they make fun of their Japanese and for example Jero has such great Japanese that they can only make fun of his clothes. I really do hope this helps Korea to become more open to other races and show that the stereotypes they have are wrong. :)
I think with koreans they are like amazed when anyone speaks korean. Even if it's really shitty they are like "WOW, YOUR KOREAN IS SO GOOD! GOOD JOB!". They are really nice and encouraging about it. But Heechul does make fun of Hankyung sometimes in a cute brotherly way.
Aw that is sweet! I'm so used to the prejudice and racism of Japanese people/culture. I know not all Asians are like that, but it starts to taint your vision.
but youre right. a double standart does exist over thurr... koreans are totally amazed by foreigners but at the same time kind of dnw. there's always some kind of distance they build up when a foreigenr visits or, well, when they visit foreigners. maybe thats why junjin walked away from me... ID but yeah, its like... they try not to let you come too close: you speak their language, theyre happy and proud! you try to invade their country, they bad-mouth your heritage.
man after writing this i'm overthinking my dreams...
Ya I mean I can only draw observations, but you don't see many if any mixed famous Koreans in Korea. You see American Koreans, but no halfies. Like ok my sister loves Olivia Lufkin, and she's half japanese/american. She had a hard time in Japan when she started out in the late 90's because she was mixed. Now they're more open, I mean if Leah Dizon is famous you know they're more accepting in the industry. In face there are now quite a few halfies, though most of them seem to be on Sony's label. At a recent anime convention she my sister was talking to Steve Bennett, he's like an animator or some crap. He's half and lived in Japan, he said it was hard for him because you have two attitudes in Japan, people who let your language mistakes go because you're half and people who think you should know. If you full Japanese, but American and don't know much Japanese that's very look down upon.
Plus the Koreans are so prideful, almost too prideful at times imo. Like I said, I can only draw my conclusions, but this girl really seems to be a novelty imo. She might get a job on like Star Golden Bell or something, but I don't think she'll ever be successful in Korea. If she is I'll eat my words!
OMG OLIVIA LUFKIN SHE IS MY IDOL OHGOD SHE IS THE PRETTIEST GIRL ON THE PLANET. at least i think so. i'd love to look like her ='( i didnt know she had such a hard time, i mean she at least speaks japanese D: but i heard that people always talk english to crystal kay, coz they can't believe she speaks japanese lol... but yeah, there areway more successful halfies in japan than in korea =/ i mena look at ViVi magazine! they only have mixed girls!
yes and in korea you only get the ~mixed~ roles when you're mixed. look at daniel henney, he's never played anything but the american korean. yeah i think so, too... i wish it wasn't like that, but... yeah... oh man this is so sad :( you could totally see how they held back in the "audience". like they felt ashamed of being REALLY amazed.
Well when she started she wasn't fluent in it, also she has someone translate her lyrics into Japanese for her. I'd say now she's somewhere between conversational and fluent. It's hard to tell though since she's so shy. Ya that's how it is in most of the fashion mags, plus um Erika Sawijawa is mixed and she's pretty famous.
Ya I mean he's like really one the only mixed person I can think of. I've never seen any mixed singers though.
lol im totally manga addicted again. thanks to your icon. XD GEEK ALERT. i love arina tanemura so much ohboy. well, i love jeanne and full moon GAAAH. arina and ai yazawa make the most beautiful drawings D:
omg i rly didnt know that about olivia O___O but her pronunciation is so good??? didnt she grow up in japan? D: shes shy? wuut? aww ;_;
arent there mixed singers in KARA though? and well, there's actor dennis oh. oh and perry in YG! isnt he mixed, too? well i dont know him too well i just heard... ohman theres almost nobody blurgh.
I just got back into anime/manga. Thank god for illegal downloads! Just this icon? I have like so many manga icons now. I got out of Fruits Basket and now I'm sucked back in because I love the final character development.
Oh I used to read Gentlemen's Alliance when it was be scanlated, but now it's licensed and I don't feel the urge to pick it up. Do you read anything of Kaori Yuki? I also love Kouyu Shurei's art and I want Alichino to be finished!! I also love Ouran High School Host Club and Sailor Moon of course. Oh I just get into Fairy Tail, by the creator of One Piece and it's really fun.
Hmm well I think a few of them are from America, but they haven't said they're mixed. There is Isak from SM entertainment, she's mixed. TBH I sometimes think more artists are mixed than they say...
SRSLY THANK GOD FOR ILLEGAL DOWNLOADS!!!! AAAAAHAHAHHAHA. im not a big anime fan. used to be. but i think animes are just so damn BAD. the animation is usually horrible and the stories kiddified =( most awesome anime though: sailor moon. HA. like idk arina tanemura animes i think are horrible, so are ai yazawa ones ;_;
god i spent the whole day looking for full moon/jeanne icons OHGOD ID im reading gentlemens alliance atm! i havent fallen in love yet though, with jeanne i have and full moon even before i even read it lol. kaori yuki... SURE. ohgod ANGELS SANCTUARY. i should read it, when it came out here, i was really young. even though it scared me, it kind of fascinated me. my older cousin was a big fan so i was totally like omg im too young /)_(\ but the drawings D: ohgod one piece! ok thats an anime i liked (oh and i liked conan, too.. lol)! i bookmarked it for me to read :D coz you know, i'm a pirate.
but dude, why are the main characters always so fucking young. and they always do and say things and find their big love at like age FOURTEEN. in full moon the main girl is fucking twelve. lol que.
Aw now some are really good, FMA is a new classic and they're doing an entirely new series of it. I always love Clamp's stories/animes, Hayao Miyazaki come on! I love all of his movies. Um Gundam Wing... I just bought a lot of stuff since Best Buy was having a half off sale. Do they have anime conventions in Germany? I know they have a big in Paris that Olivia went to.
I haven't finished watching Parakiss, I only have the first disc. Of course they cut out already how much of an ass George is. YOU NEED TO READ ANGEL SANCTUARY, it's so amazing omg!!! I mean unless you are Catholic and are offended by evil angels.... if not ENJOY! READ FAIRY TALE! It's so fun and it's magic guilds!
Ya they are pretty young most of the time, I try not to read those because I am so freaked out by how young they are. I am used to it! I hope the op has off comment notification though.
hayao miyazaki is something VERY else D: first his movies are not based on mangas and second he's someone who really really cares about the animation and especially HAND DRAWING. THAT IS SO AMAZING OMG. so yeah there are exceptions, but most of the times just... nah. they left out george's assness? WTF? ISN'T THAT WHAT MAKES HIM GEORGE? LOL QUE? and yes, clamp has beautiful stuff, too D: haven't kept up with them in a long time either, bwahah... i used to love card captor sakura. ohman 8D
yes they have conventions, but im not that geeky. anymore. LOL like i went once... like years ago... but when i think back omg the people there? second-hand embarassment at its best. lol im so shallow but srsly... why are most anime/manga fans really ugly with really ugly teeth and really ugly hair and wear revealing costumes they really shouldn't wear? ok. but omg if olivia had come... omg DDDDDDDDDDDD:
LOL CATHOLIC. my opinion on religion:
ok not really. but kinda. hihi. i mean jeanne is my favorite manga and its REALLY blasphemic 8D tbh im anti religion but i love stories in mangas/movies/tv shows that make legends or religion out to be true. lol strange? yeah... OK I WILL READ ANGEL SANCTUARY 8D THE MORE BLASPHEMIC THE BETTER 8DDDDDDDDDD ok and fairy tale. OHGODOHGOD I WILL PLAY SUPER MARIO AND POKEMON AND WATCH CARTOONS AND READ MANGA UNTIL I DIE.
Um so I was totally going reply to this and all, but I am really dazed right now. Um idk if I'll be around the next week or so, a family death happened. Anyways I always enjoy commenting with you!
lol@ natalie hwite omg isnt she dying from nervosity?? WHY IS SHE SO COOl??? OMG LOL KANG HODONG omg shes so cute. ohgod im crying. i want this too ;___; omglololol her korean is better than DANIEL DAE KIM's XDDDDDDDD OMG SHE LOVES SAMSOON & COFFEE PRICNE LOL MY FAVORiTES HA AND SHINHWA WAS HER FIRST OHGODDDDDDDDDDDD OMG SHE MET ANDY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
