All hail the master Han race!
@Anna's randomness WhoCares if you’re wondering, pedigree is a synonym for purebred, and purebred is a term used in animal (usually dog & cat) breeding meaning all the ancestors of the animal are of the same breed (selective breeding)
What is Han? Han means half rice of bowl in Japanese lol..I will be surprised if you got rice DNA
"6% unassigned. ARE YOU ALIEN!"
Your parents may not be entirely lying. You could still actually have Scottish ancestors or whatever in your history, the test results just shows that you didn't inherit it from your parents. You could have your parents tested as well and the results could have different countries not shown in yours.
Right. I did a 3 Generation Test in my Family and I can comfirm this.
Exactly
Asians just wanna be white so bad. Yikes.

@@Pinkittieee damm! One of a kind!
My grandpa thought that he was Indian his whole life, I always thought that he looks European because he has hazel green eyes with wavy hair. He had always hated the English because of their suppression of India in the past. DNA proves that he’s only 15% Indian, 5% southern Asian, and rest is all European with Scottish-English being the majority. He denies the results even till today.
Lol that is weird, meaning if he had 5 ancestors, 4 of them would be Europæan. I wonder how that came to be.
@@kugul1683 That means that his family’s history is a joke lol 😂
I would be so disappointed if I found out European or East Asian DNA in my gene cuz I am nationalist.
@@yinyinaye6045 Yeah he’s a nationalist too. Every Indian is honestly.
thats a lil bit funny where did you do it
Wow the Indian test is very region-specific. This is the first test that didn't read 'Broadly South Asian'. Now I'm interested in taking the test.
Its inaccurate.. Indian(Telugu) and Tamil are very similar.. They should have mentioned the haplogroup spread like H, R1, R2 instead
The Asian database is very small relatively to the American/European ones, but it's growing rapidly so it's only going to get more accurate with time
Indians and Bangladesh are ethnic related.
@@oneviwatara9384ure wrong , not the tamils and telugus .Dravidians as opposed to indo aryan
Singaporean accent sounds like the nigerian accent mixed with Indian accent lol.
No
Cantonese and Chinese and Malay and some English all mixed
As a child of Nigerian parents I agree wholeheartedly with this statement
now that you mentioned it i started too realised that too 😂😂
@@cindy-yi3pz haha you can hear nigerian accent very clearly at 2:05 and many more times. I was so confused at first when I heard them talk😂😂😂
@@sweetlemonade6925 yeaaa most asians (especially southeast asians) speak like that bcs im one of them too but lots of asians can speak english very well and their accent arent like those (like those american accent) . it's just too bad i cant speak english very well 😅
I am Japanese who did this DNA test. I've thought I was 100% full Japanese entire my whole life, but the result included 9%Korean, 2%Northern Chinese, and 1%Cambodian. I've really never expected this.
Hello,My asian brothers n sisters!!
Lmaoo the girl who’s excited cause she's Thai and perhaps related to Bright is such a mood 😂
Why is zhin so surprised he’s Malay. Dude looks Malay af😂
Exactly lol.
Ikr lol
He’s reaction like high key ashamed to be Malay LOL... don’t be ashamed of what u are and originate from zhin!
Nah, I believed he was shocked because he thought his Madurese Boyanese side would be most prevalence than his Malay side probably because his family keeps Boyanese tradition at home. not like he was ashamed or somethin.
What genes are indonesian? It looks so general. Are they using javanese data?
"Wah I'm 69% something?!"
"Ya chinese la"
LMAO
"we can safely eliminate Korean"
Korean pops up next

@Jack Jacky Stupid
@@makkaucbkia9640 bruh what?
@Jack Jacky Stupid
@Jack Jacky simple answer, that’s because many Chinese of Thailand they don’t use the Chinese name anymore
@Jack Jacky yeah jacky phantom you’re right, since there are quite a population of baba Nyonyas in the straits
6:11 Major props to the Ear Protection Squad
HAHA BRIGHT AND LEE MIN HO IN SAME SCREEN!!! MY HEART!!!!!
I always thought Leah was either Malay or Filipino.. wow her ancestry is very interesting
This video does genetic test reactions right. Before viewing the results, it's a lot more fun to have them guess what they are. Much better than just going in blind and reacting to all of the ancestries at once.
Never heard the Singaporean accent before. For some reason it sounds like a mixture of Asian and Caribbean to me.
To me it sounds like mixture of nigerian and Indian accent.
to me it sounds normal because i grew up listening to it haha
Its actually chinese+malay accent
That is a common accent used daily by teenagers in Malaysia and Singapore
@@orianawr9579 malaysian accents are totally different than singaporeans lol
To Chow: South China used to be largely inhabited by different ethnic groups (instead of Han Chinese), some of which are linked to Cambodia so that could explain why!
@Jack Jacky there are other ethnic han minorities like the teochew and Hokkien that are known to have immigrated to Cambodia. There's also a Cantonese population there to so the chances of there being marriage between her Chinese ancestors and local Cambodian people are possible.
@Jack Jacky That is why i said ethnic HAN minorities, it means the same thing Han subgroups.
Baiyue is more of an umbrella term for all the indigenous that once lived in southern China, but most if not all baiyue communities have either assimilated into mainstream Han Chinese culture or no longer exist. It's nearly impossible to identify those from Baiyue descent.
When talking about Austroasiatic speaking tribes, that really depends on whose classification system you're replying on. The Miao and Yao languages are sometimes classified as an Austroasiatic language, but for the most part they're classified under Sino-Tibetan. You also may be talking about the Tai people, which Tai languages have influenced Austroasiatic ones, but again, they're not the same.
@Jack Jacky We're also talking about Chinese populations that immigrated to Cambodia. Cambodia has a very small Chinese community and the subgroups that are most present are the Teochew, Cantonese, Hokkien, Hakka, and Hainanese. I'm not arguing that South China doesn't have other ethnic minorities other than Han, but those are the ones specifically with historical records that show migration to Cambodia.
@@Kpoper4life : People need to understand something, the "Hans" is actually an actual time period. That time period, allow at least like 3 tribes or groups to merge together. Officially. Cos there are government (that time) documents to support this. And you can find actual archeological artefacts to support this as well. "North Hans", could be, Hans, but they left the China's boundary and went further North, and intermingled with other tribes which lives up there. This is whereby, it depends on the actual database that run these DNA tests. They are as accurate, or as granular as they are, depending on whom they reference.
This is a MAP. I do not think it is a general map of every single person, but I think it is the "Majority of in this region" kind of map.
upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/c/ca/World_Map_of_Y-DNA_Haplogroups.png
There is also Tibet as well. I do not know if "North Hans" means, when the Tibetan tribes, married the Hans princess... "Korean" is very very simple to detect, because, they kept to themselves all these years... So their DNA, is kind of, quite pure. Same with Japan. They can trace every single family-tree for at least centuries... So can South Korea. In North Korea, they control the family-tree !
With Canton, or in HK, I think there were tribes there before, and Hans went further South... cos they ran away from the fights from the Northern tribes. So this is why they stayed. Have not seen them break down the Southern Hans (with further sub groups).
its true because i am cambodia and 15% china because my grandpa is Chinese :)

I really love their accents, Singapore has a very interesting history!
Chinese+malay accent
thanks
We spoke like this in malaysia too especially in english which malay/chinese dialect are mixed, although i cant speak chinese since im pretty much malay
Terrible accent
I love their accents as well
This makes me wanna get a DNA ancestry test .
i definitely knew something was up with the girl wearing black when she shouted after knowing that she was 10% thai
I was thinking of doing a DNA Ancestry Test for some time and I just purchased a GeneLife test kit with the promo code provided. Thank you TSL!
Is the Gene Life one from Japan ? Would they have a lot more accuracy for SE Asia ?
"How are you, welcome to Thailand" makes its grand return!
I screamed when Brenda mentioned Bright !!!
James Charles : Hey sister
The guy at 5:11 : let me hold your hand sister
That cracks me up 😅🤣😂
Leah is one of the most ethnically diverse people I’ve ever seen! Her DNA is from everywhere! She should trace her ancestry so she can find out which ancestors come from which regions in the world. WOW 🤩
“Thai actor like bright” glad we’re all on the same page LMAO
I have never been interested in DNA and such but this video made me more so! Also this group of people are so fun! It makes me want to visit Singapore to meet more people like this~! Very Fun video!
I'm watching from Cambodia and I'm surprised to see many relatives here.
YASS BRIGHT 😍THANK YOU BRENDA!!
Love your videos keep up the good work ! ♥️💜
Great video. Interesting results from the DNA tests but also very, very funny participants. I cried with laughter when he said Brenda looked like she could be in the Chinese Tik Tok fashion video's :-)
Mr Worldwide: Pitbull
Mrs Worldwide: Leah
To Chow - based on Chinese record, they were mentioned that Chinese Emperors love Cambodian food and he request Cambodian family from our King. You might come from that family. Hehehe
I have not watch it yet but seeing so many of my fav tsl talents I am sure it will be very funny!
I'm South African and loved watching this
thanks for the ear protection bit.. really saved my ears...
What people don't understand is that these tests aren't always 100% reflective of your actual ancestry. They only show you one particular line of your family tree. If you test your siblings and parents, you can get a better idea of your actual heritage because you will see other genetic lineages within your heritage. They list percentages based on reference individuals from that country. Country borders change and people move around. And I can say the same about Europe or most other regions of the world. I really doubt there's that much genetic difference between Thai, Vietnamese, and Cambodian people because of their physical and cultural proximity. I can say the same of European, African, and North and South American native ethnicities as well.
Chinese: Dai, Dai is also Tai and the ancestor of many of the present Thais.
Yeah. Thai category is probably for austro-asiatic people in Thailand. Tai people usually get Chinese Dai instead.
@@what5241 Kind of (im half thai/south chinese , my dna test was pretty much not surprising at all.... it was thai/south chinese with a small % of north chinese/vietnamese and north indian , which should come from my grandpa he was one quarter north indian/pakistani , so a little bit was in my dna too) I knew about thai/south chinese and indian and i was sure about some viet since actually a lot of thais also have vietnamese in theyr dna too bcs the country is also close by and in thailand there are vietnamese ,obviously its all somehow going to mix. So yeah.
yes, thats corect
@@what5241 Thai belong to Tai ethnic not austro-asiatic that khmer and vietnamese. Dai is Tai peoples in Yunan.
@@what5241 Thai is Tai Kadai not austro asiatic.
Wow, saw other people using genelife before, but this episode make it seems so accurate for all of them,
makes me wanna get a kit to try too haha
"Are you sure its not the food she ate and xisjiwiexjakk ahhhhh" 😂😂💚
I also did one and this my result (and It's weird that this video got recommended after my results came lol)
%28 Japanese (My mom's Japanese genes at it's finest)
%26 Turkish (my dad lost the %2 persantage from Germany)
%22 Vietnamese (WHAT that's news to me)
%13 Bulgarian (thank you grandma and grandpa)
%8 Korean (It's probably bc of my Japanese genes)
%3 German (thanks dad for being born in Germany, I think you've got some German genes from who ever the f is)
I'm Japanese-Turkish just so you know
I mean Japanese-Turkish-Bulgarian was the ones that were obvious and I was pretty sure about it but Vietnamese came through Bulgarian in an instant lol
Bright and Lee Min Ho HAHAHA I STAN BRENDA 😍😍
BRENDA IS SUCH A MOOD W BRIGHT
I got my genelife results. I’m 75% Chinese: Southern Han, 13% Vietnamese, 8% Korean and 3% Thai. 😊
Wow 8 percent korean. U can noe declare urself a k pop star and travel to korea
damnnn didn't know that brenda watches BL i loveeee Bright toooo and Winnnn

Hm..
Kebiasaan bet overproud dah.
Santai aja kali ah..
Pusarnya tolong
Lol 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
This was so funny to watch! 😊 So interesting 😂
This must be so much fun! I wanna try it too 😁
I think I'd mostly be Korean (my last name also Han korean), a bit of Indian (my mother's ancestor is Princess Suriratna), a bit of Chinese (idk, just for some reason, I think I'd have some Chinese blood in me, lol), maybe thai and/or Japanese..? (Same reason as with Chinese)
...
Oh, right I forgot. I'M TOO BROKE TO GET THE KIT; MY WALLET IS CRYING
Hahahah👍🤣🤣
Singaporeans have such interesting DNA. I am from Scotland and my DNA is just Scotland, Ireland, England, Wales, Sweden, Denmark, Norway and Italy.
Isn't that alot of ancestry? Or perhaps ur ancestry is considered closely related that's why you find it not interesting? Singapore and Malaysia are multi racial. Malay itself is very diverse actually. The Philipines has a group called themselves Malay. In indonesia also have Malay. Africa have Malay. And Singaporean Malay, hv mix ancestry, mostly Indonesian and by Indonesian could be a Bawean, Bugis, Javanese and maybe ithers that I hv not heard of. Also, Malays during WW2 and post WW2 hv adopted Chinese children. Malays are quite a mix actually.
@@nurimahrasidz271 it’s not very interesting because those areas are all closely related. Italian is the most interesting one. When I did my ancestry test I didn’t have anything that made me go “wow, that’s interesting!”. Like I said, Italian was the only really interesting one but I already knew my great grandmother was from Italy. All the other stuff is pretty standard for a British person. Scottish: well I’m from Scotland, my mum is Scottish and my dad’s dad’s dad is from Scotland too. Irish: well my dad is from Liverpool and there was a lot of Irish immigrants in Liverpool. England: my dad is English, two out of four of his grandparents are English born. Welsh: well Liverpool is close to Wales so that could of got in there easy. Sweden, Denmark, Norway: the vikings invaded Scotland so lots of Scottish people have Scandinavian dna. It’s pretty normal. I was hoping for something interesting I didn’t know about. Maybe it would say like the Czech Republic or like I’m like 1% Nigerian. I got nothing from other regions that are not typical for British people except Italian.
@@rachelcookie321I thought the Viking’s invaded northern England but couldn’t invade Scotland because the Scots fought them off?
@@KtT-sn8cy that’s the romans. They actually did invade a good portion of Scotland though, they just realised the highlands were more trouble than they were worth and stopped there. The town my mum was from just north of Glasgow was originally a Roman camp. The Vikings in Scotland mostly colonised the north and and western coast.
@@rachelcookie321 oh I see? But the vikings did invade England as well right? Or am I wrong about that aswell lol
What is "Indonesian" tho?
Literally there's a lot of Ethnic Breakdown for being an Indonesian, "Malay" is also Indonesian because there are Malays in Sumatra and being Malay is different than being Malaysians. Also Javanese and Papuans, for example, they're two distinct and different ethnic that should be differentiate and not clumped into "Indonesian"
Along time ago not name indonesia exist but malay yes...
@@epoizparadigma8986 no you're not
@@dont.look.on.my.channel5003 malays are not javanese They speak different language and culture. Malays from riau sumatra malaysia and javanese boyanese from java
@@shaheen4922 but they are from same big race which is proto malayic
@@dont.look.on.my.channel5003 javanese isnt malay they are already have their own ethnic group, but one thing you got right was that malay is a native ethnic in indonesia as indonesian simply means nationality
I’m so glad I watched this after I finished my meal
Thank you Ear Protection Squad! 👌🏻
These guys are lit lol I love the energy 🙏
Great and entertaining video!
Now I'm really very curious of my DNA test results cause I'm sure I'm a mix of different Asian races. I think I'm mostly Filipino with Malay and Chinese blood (I have double eyelids but at the same time my eyes look East Asian). And I'm sure there will be differences with my full biological sister and she probably has Filipino, Malay, Chinese and Spanish blood, her eyes don't look East Asian like mine. We don't actually look alike at All, we look like cousins or even like just friends. Lol
As someone who is the first time watch from the smart local, Zhin REALLY does looks like Malay

Omg yes hshshshss
Brenda and Zhin couple are hilarious in this episode 😂😂
I have many friends who are Cambodian by nationality (but 0% Cambodian blood). They speak both Khmer and Mandarin Chinese fluently. Some of them don't know Chinese at all. Even me...I can guess I am 30% to 40% Cambodian and 60% Chinese, Vietnamese, . ... based on what my grandma told. 😅
I love watching this, they are to positive
I was literally talking about this to my close friend and my mum a few hours ago... TSL HOW DID YOU KNOW!?
🤭🤭🤭
this is what i'm waiting for :)
10:49 i am cambodian as well and just wanted you to know that cambodia back then was a huge empire and diverse so its possible that u might have the cambodian dna 😅 and chow u are really pretty!!
7:36 Technically John is still a pedigree because Japanese people originated from China
Fun to know. Whatever your ancestry, there is only one direction for all of us. To be allowed to live the life we want.
Isn't Chinese: Dai in the result Tai minorities in China, which is related to Thai from Thailand as well.
Yes - from Tai-Kadai language family
I think it may have some different with years saparation. So the company choose to list Dai alone.
yeah, that why I think Tai, Laos, Thai, Burmese, Mon are not much different. But I'm not sure about Cambodia.
Thai means centra Thai are DAI mixed Mon
Hi Chow, many Cambodians have a strong Chinese background and trade was very common with Southern Chinese. So I am not surprise at all that you have a percentage of cambodian.
I watch lots of DNA tests but find them quite boring, tbh xD But this one was FUN! All of them were so funny, is it typical from Singapore?? I think I'm moving countries x'D
The South China Is Han+Austroasiatic / Han+Dai. The Dai or Tai (Kra-Dai) relationship ancestor with Thailand, Lao, Tai Yai Shan state (in Myanmar), Tai Ahom( in India)...
The Austroasiatic relationship ancestor of Cambodia, Mon (in Myanmar & Thailand)
This is so fun to watchhhhhhh
Chow: I heard a story long ago that there is Khmer king sent help with two families of mahout to help care with china emperor, they were ancient Cambodian since 13th centuries people and another story there is also Ancient Khmer lived in china because of Khmer’s empire had war in the country and princess fled the country to china during war, also there are alots of chinese people immigrated to Khmer’s empire long ago, I’m also half Chinese half Cambodian.

11:08 maybe your ancestor were to do trade or been cambodia , in 19-20 century many chinese from south of china come to cambodia , they went every where from capital to rural, even my great-great-grandfather is chinese, now many chinese still come to do trade in cambodia.
