@@CocoChanelle-1 Well yes but the best bilingual kids start very young in my opinion. Very few kids who did not get instruction young seemed to have huge vocabulary in both languages.....
It's the fact you think saying "intriguingly" beautiful is not a racist fetishization. Just say she is beautiful if that's what you genuinely think, and learn to appreciate mixed race people or say nothing at all. You need to learn more about the lives of mixed people.
I love that Moon said she doesn't see herself as 50% of either culture, she wants to be 100% of all. I love that. I have cousins with that mindset and they are happy people because of it.
This made me really want to take a look at my DNA ancestry. I heard that if you know your mom’s ancestry, then you’re probably not far off and my mom did a kit and has results of her DNA. But I want to see and have my own. Edit: for the same purpose. I love traveling and learning different cultures and I have nothing but knowing I’m black in the US, with Irish somewhere in my bloodline. I want to know all I can. How many different cultures came together to get to me?
@@faeri_ yes you should, maybe do the African ancestry test as they can trace you to your ethnic group, however they only cover Africa and not Europe, or anywhere else
@@chantelvenessa Oh I love that! Do you know of one that would break those down _within_ the whole result? I’m kinda broke consistently, so I would want to try to do one test.
Can we just pause to give Moon credit for picking up Korean as her 3rd language all by herself in adulthood and conversing fluently with a woman who grew up speaking Korean?!
@hamteroWhy do you keep saying “she is black btw” is that supposed to be ironic or something? And we get it you love Megan Thee Stallion but she has nothing to do with this video.
@hamtero why are you pressed about people celebrating the fact that she’s black? there’s nothing wrong with people being happy to see some representation. go be bitter somewhere else
Yeah? Well while I must say, they are both lovely and beautiful ladies, I think the white outfit really accentuates SiYeon's skin tone, and I'm all for it.
@@PK-eye6dz Yeah? Well while I must say, they are both lovely and beautifuls ladies. I think your comment accentuates your sensitivity and it's amusing 😋
There’s a saying in Korean: “If you’re half-White Korean, you get on reality shows; if you’re half-black Korean, you get on documentaries.” Hopefully that will stop being the case soon.
난 한국인으로써 현실은 조금 다르다고 생각함. half-black 한국인이면 연예계(특히 예능)에서 화제성이 있는 경우가 드물지만 있는편이고 연기나 실용예술계열 학교에 진학할때도 상당히 유리한편임. 진짜로 한국 사회에서 차별받거나 관심 밖의 영역에 있는 사람들은 흑인 혈통이 아니라 동남아시아, 중동아시아, 중국계 한국인임
I believe it, white people, specifically white men, who go to Asian countries to teach really do so to use their racial status to influence others. Being white in Asia is like being a celebrity, and they take advantage of that.
Edit: Fetishization is obviously going to appear and feel differently for different areas or regions. This is not a comparison post, this isn’t a “my problems are worse post” …this is addressing the mindset as a whole because it’s done terrible damage to many communities. I can relate to Moon in soo many ways and felt prompted to acknowledge feelings I know others are dealing with across the globe. Glad they addressed fetishization . It’s really bad in America too but here it’s about skin tone and hair. Very proud to see people standing against it
I’m sorry but it’s not the same. The amount of diversity here is so low. Like 96% Korean, so if your foreign mostly guys who approach you have fetish and will use you. I’ve had cafes repost me and married men with children message me because they want to try foreign women. Almost daily I have people approach me, I’ve been sexually assaulted bc they think foreigners are easier, you stand out so much,. There is laws against excluding people for race in the US but not here. Here in Korea it’s perfectly legal to reject people for homes or found to restaurants. The home I live In isn’t even in my name but my boyfriends because no where would rent to foreigners of any race. America is a diverse country and seeing people of other races isn’t unusual, most people are accepting and don’t care for you race and will date for personality. It’s almost never like that here
@@alexlily3195 I don’t recall calling it the same thing? Circumstances are very different everywhere but to minimize another area because of your personal experience is a little weird. If we do want to play that game and get technical then really the people that are most affected by colorism and fetishization are Black people because it’s literally killing them and mutilization was allowed for so long including today behind it. Your personal grievances don’t account for a race that’s generally hated everywhere.
@@Ohdeyummm “it’s really bad here in America too” 🙄 no it’s not the same the experiences are not comparable it’s a whole different ballgame, no matter your colour you not labelled foreigner every day of your life. America isn’t the only country in the world you know, it’s like if we have a problem there’s always an American who has it 10x worse. My bf wants us to go the uk because he can’t stand the amount of men that prey on me and takes me everywhere I need to go because the harassment is daily. I’ve had stalk my daily routine and find my number and tell me they are watching me . I’ve been touched everywhere on my body and sexually assaulted, raped because I look “Russian” and all Russians are sex workers and are exotic and open minded. To men here we are just sex objects every single day . If you fit beauty standards and are pretty to them then sadly your just meat
@@alexlily3195 I sincerely suggest that you look into therapy . No one on here is looking to invalidate your experience I’m just simply pointing out that it’s your individual experience. My original comment was in support of defeating a system that had done damage across the globe . The fact that you made it personal just shows that you’re probably dealing with a lot more than what we’re talking about here which means there’s really no debate… get well soon
here is another case of a person who thinks people are the same person just because they're both mixed with black (when they look nothing alike) ☠@@amandab8433
Model industry is full of predators! I dont want her to be like regualr girls selling beaity with no actual talents or skills. Model industry is glamorized human trafficking ring
I have a feeling these two girls would be really good friends if they keep in touch beyond this interview. They have a lot of similar experiences and are both very open and friendly. They both seem like really lovely people.
I agree with Moon 100% on the idea that Korean men often have a fantasy of mixed-race women and look to foreign women as "one night stands"🤦🏿♀ and Korean women as the IT girl. No shade to the Korean women at all tho. I've always thought it was kind of weird how Korean men have this impression that all foreign women are into that kind of thing. I know not all Korean men have this mentality, however it still kind of irritates me a bit. But all of that aside, I think both women are beautiful !😍 Moon's skin is glowing btw! Like yesss melanin queen I see you girl !🙌🏿
Probably bc foreign women, black women in particular, are represented by popular media aka rappers. Female rappers are our most popular form of black women and their videos, well, paint a picture. I don’t see a problem with their art of expression nor do I think Korean men should use that as an excuse to generalize but we can’t deny that they are the examples people see us by unfortunately. I wish we could diversify our image but media rarely shines light on the average black women; the ones in college or working for their family, the models and etc 😭
@@ratpatootie9579it’s interesting that you say that because Korean female idols constantly have outfits that are so small that we can see their panties and they are doing sexual dances. So the fact that many Korean guys (I’ve heard this before) say that the American musicians image is the reason that they think foreign girls are easy is so hypocritical. It’s just an excuse to treat women badly. Edit: I just want to add something after reading the replies. If Korean men can know the difference between idols and real Korean women, they are smart enough to understand the different between American/European artist and real women.
The way korean women warn international women I visited korea with my husband who's 1/2 indonesian 1/2 thai. We were eating at a restaurant I went to the restroom and a korean girl typed on Google translate "don't trust korean men be careful sister" and showed me the screen. I explained to her but that moment was a eye opener.
I think Moon is so drop dead gorgeous that her race really shouldn't matter. It's too bad a lot of guys can't see that. She's like a 20 out of 10. She should be a high fashion model if she isn't already.
She's said most people assume she's a model. She knows her face card never gets declined. The issue is that if you're not korean you get treated like a runthrough constantly. Would be nice if it didn't matter where she was from and got treated nicely but alas
You are a woman, so, it's impossible for you to understand real beauty as is understand by men. Women called beautiful to obese women, that's delusional, but does not matter, the SVM is given by men.
At 9:07 'Do you think I'm ugly?' However, it is incorrectly translated as ‘Do you think I’m pretty?’ The subtitle somehow makes this woman seem arrogant and self-absorbed. I think the subtitles were made like this because they were talking negatively about Korea. Koreans' Intelligent public opinion method. It causes the person to be misunderstood and makes the person laughable or insulted.
My husband is Vietnamese, and I'm Black American and Belizean. We are striving to make sure our two daughters embrace their heritages and cultures just as Moon has.
I'm American Portuguese n his father is Haitian. We are Americans we are both along w our families to pass traditions and culture he is such an intelligent person I am so proud of him ❤ he may not understand today but he will later 😎
as a viet-american, it’s really inspiring to see mixed asians accept and embrace all ethnic parts of themselves because i had grown up struggling to understand where i am in terms of culture. not asian or american enough is definitely prevalent experience still, but see these ladies thrive makes me feel less ashamed of my journey to understanding myself
You have to watch 1000% Me by Kamau Ball. Being mixed race is definitely a different type of struggle in itself. I’m Filipina/blk and to learn I wasn’t the only one feeling that way brought some solace. Love and except yourself first ❤
@@apalmer3472 1000% Me sounds interesting. Will watch. My great grandparent was mixed race. These genes have come back and now sometimes people ask me where im from and treat me like a foreigner in my own homeland where we have settled for 400 years in Africa. I was even told nobody can place where my hair colour or texture belongs. There's no negative discrimination but it feels like a part of me needs to find its other home in order to be complete.
You are not defined by your ethnicity, although it is a part of who you are. You are defined by the person you choose to be (you define yourself because others will always have something to say about you) You can be any ethnicity but at the end of it all, what is the character you want to show to the world ? Your values, your principles. What do you like ? What do you dislike ? What do you want out of life ? What kind of person do you want to be ? Your actions are not defined by ethnicity. Those are the things that make you you, oh and you happen to be mixed ethnicity and be part of both cultures and so beautifully made. Belonging does not come from others but from yourself. This is what i concluded from my experience. Good luck on your journey to self discovery 😊❤️
That girl Moon is absolutely STUNNNNNING ! Her eyes are absolutely gorgeous, the shape of her face is so dainty, but she didn’t say which African country her father is from. She said Vietnamese from her Asian but nothing specific on the African side. Clearly the mixture worked wonders on her genes !
They are both so pretty but ive never seen someone that looks like Moon, and wow. Its so incredible what features come out in all people, and the new combinations creating all new types of beautiful people. Im so glad these girls got to meet and talk about their experiences with someone who has similar ones.
Love how they’re calling out men’s disgusting behaviour cuz it’s not right to think that a girl can just be “a one night stand” without getting to know her. Like, it’s disrespectful and inconsiderate these poor girls going through trauma just cause of their ethnicities is so sad and so relatable
@@whyparkjiminnotridejimin Using other individuals as ONE NIGHT STAND opportunism is a sin called ADULTERY. Doesn't matter who does it to whom. And many MANY women wilfully perpetrate that sin too. Sex is something we should enjoy with someone we truly love and care about, which automatically implies someone we would like to marry and eventually build a family with? Why would anyone want to abuse someone else's trust and intimacy if they truly cared about them? We all need more wisdom. More mercifulness and more honesty. Christ Jesus can give us those good things if we simply just ask sincerely with a humble, repentant heart. Thus we escape the trap of sin which has its own dire consequences down the line. Blessings.
Moi aussi j'ai été agréablement surprise 🥰 ! Breaking - absolutely smashing really! - the stereotype that Frenchies are bad at languages (; ! And they seem genuinely kind ❤
Moon is just stunning, she has got the best of the two cultures. Loving her eyes! That type of eyes is now called 'cat eyes' in the west and it's trending on social media; but it used to be ridiculed, discriminated and considered inferior. Whatever background you are, be proud of your heritage and don't let anyone invalidate you.
Well said overall. Also on the topic of the eyes, you're spot on. Body parts on women are treated as a trend which IMO more women need to ignore. But this is 1 of many things the beauty industry thrives on.
@@billysanchez-eh6nnwhy does that bother you? White people are praised all the time for having light skin while black people are ostracized for having dark skin.
Both of these women are so pretty inside and out: so respectful and understanding. Really beautiful to see the mutual empathy and open connection between them despite being strangers. It was insightful to hear of an experience I could not relate to. All the best to these intelligent women
Hearing her switch from Korean to English was so intriguing, its like her voice changed, definitely the tone. They are both beautiful women in completely different contrast
I love the chemistry in their conversation. The way they seem super comfortable talking so openly is lovely to see. I haven't heard much Korean before. It's cool
@@cupcakes.97more like 25% idk if she deliberately left that fact out, but anyways she would be considered black or mixed at best but not blasian here in France
@vbenfipxzpt She explained everything, and she herself said that her Asian side of her family is practically non-existent and that she feels french an African. But besides that, she is still mixed race. Her dad is african and her mom is African and Vietnamese
french? where? you not become french because you arer parent migrated to france... sorry i am not french too even not live in france but fact is fact... blacks are not french peoples they just live in france...
@@cupcakes.97 if you look on a map, Vietnam is located on the continent, Asia. Vietnamese is the language that people in Vietnam speak. Her mom is Vietnamese thus making her half Vietnamese.
I had a policy when living in Korea to never date what I called "Korean-Koreans" - they were Koreans who had never lived abroad or had extensive experiences abroad. For the same reason these girls are recalling. I had too many experiences of being the "white horse". Now in Japan, I have the same policy because the same mindset exists here. The two countries were too closed off from the rest of the world for so long that a fetish for foreigners, but not a genuine interest in them has developed. It is SO rare to meet a Korean or Japanese person who has never lived abroad with a truly open mind-set towards foreigners (and I do not mean "open-minded" in the way the fetishizers mean).
I can say the same thing about Americans. I started life out as an Army brat and also served. Some American people can't understand how I can make friends with foreigners which is nuts in my opinion. I've set foot on Guam, South Korea, Japan, Canada and every state we have and I talk to everyone the same. It's basically the way I was raised. Oh, I was an over-the-road driver 1991-2018 and sometimes had to remind myself what part of country I was in when it came to dealing with some people. I'm generally a nice person but there are those who want to try and take advantage of it and then I'd have to sometimes get in Drill Sergeant mode.
I related so much to what the dark skin girl was saying. As an interracial dater, there are some red flags that every woman should look for. We are fetishized most of the time. This was honest dialogue. Every foreigner seem to call us "Beyonce" or Rihanna" and we look nothing like them. Those are the only reference they seem to know for Black woman.
@@melc4308 Yup, it's understandable. Sorry for that. We need to have more dialogues like this. It's disturbing. I have avoided engaging in conversations with men who are strangers in general.
@@minahtheweirdo. I thought it was just me! I was at a pub in Cork, Ireland, and a group of drunk Irish boys crowded me and called me Beyoncé. One tried to grope me and another kissed me full on the mouth. It was gross and I literally ran out of there!
Omg Siyeon works in a Korean resto near where I live and I’ve had her as a waitress before 😳 the world is so small. She was extremely sweet, I knew I recognized her from somewhere!!
I've always felt interest in what mixed kids have to say because their experiences can be so full of cool yet difficult moments. Its so great to see these women embracing their heritage and as someone who wants to learn every language in the world, to hear them go from one to the other fluently is amazing~~
what Moon said is so true with almost every race and country, they see women from their own country in very precious kinda way like "must protect and respect" whereas foreign women are like just a one time thing I hope men start seeing ALL women in a respectable way
Except black men. They see other women as more precious than theirs. Which probably explains why they’re at the bottom of the hierarchy. Men who don’t value their image will never make it to the top.
Mmmm idk if that’s true, most countries with a more traditional culture feel that way, but I think most western countries don’t really have that mindset, especially black westerners tbh
The way they both groaned at the same time -- MOOD! I'm mixed too (light skinned Filipino-American) and when I lived in Korea I literally had men chat me up on the train. When I was a student there, I was still figuring out my sexuality and the guy I was into at the time was exactly like Siyeon said: did all the steps but was like "no we're not dating." By the time I graduated college and moved back to Korea for work, I realized that I'm a lesbian and I got reactions across the board. Some of my Korean guy friends were like, "Oh really? That's fine!" And some literally ghosted me. Like the idea that I wasn't "available" to them anymore made them not want to contact me again. It's really sad cuz I was really close with one of them and being ignored really hurt me. I've never had a Korean guy randomly touch me though. Most of my bad experiences with men in Korea were with white men. Ofc :)
everything you said is sooo interesting and says a lot about how some korean men think around relationship stuff. i just had a question ! i’m a lesbian too and i live in france, but i’ve always wanted to study in korea for university and even live there for some time but i’ve wondered if it would be hard regarding my sexuality. will people turn me down immediately if i ever tell them and not want to be my friend anymore ? or is it really hard to find a partner here ? i’m just asking myself these questions and i’ll admit it’s a bit scary :’) do you have any advice ?
What you said is very interesting ! What is your experience of dating woman in Korea ?(if you have some and want to talk about it☺️) because as a bi girl I’m a little afraid of it.
Everyone in the comments is talking about Moon but I think Siyeon is equally gorgeous. Not to take away from Moon but I just feel like she deserves some appreciation too. Moon seems extremely intelligent and adventurous and Siyeon seems so sweet.
Bruh. Moon is BEAUTIFUL. Dang. Her mother is gorgeous first of all. And wow. She is absolutely stunning. I hope this doesn’t sound like fetishization. 😅 I was just taken aback by her beauty.
Fetishism is when you constantly go for someone for something like their race/ethnicity just bc they're that race/ethnicity, it wouldn't be fetishism to just be attracted to someone who's different. It's also okay to find a particular race or ethnicity extremely beautiful, as long as it's not dehumanizing.
@@uniquenewyork3325if that’s the truth, then why does no one (except black males, because they can’t stfu about WW) get accused of fetishizing white women, even though they are the standard of beauty and people will date them simply for being white? It’s only a fetish when someone wants to date a brown girl, as if people are incapable of wanting us. That is kinda aggy.
I'm half Asian half European white, and it feels nice to have this kind of content available! Sometimes, it feels like none of the races my genetics belong to will "believe" me I'm theirs, so it's comforting to hear from people in similar situations ^^
*I don’t mean to come off as insensitive but… Why do you need to be either one? Why not be okay with being both. People will gatekeep their identity because they have to represent themselves. For example, why would a Filipino person want a Japanese person to represent them in shows, Mrs. universe etc. and so on. As a monoracial person (black specifically), I don’t even feel like I fit in with most of the people in my own racial group, but as a person I’m so secure in who I am now that me not fitting in doesn’t bother me. If I was biracial I would be fine with being both instead of trying to feel a part of either one. My cousin is biracial and proudly claims Cuban and Kenyan instead of one or the other. If you are white and Asian own it. I think biracial people deserve their own representation rather than trying to feel like one part or the other only.
@@EtherealSolana I understand your perspective, but also, as a half-white half Asian person, it's not quite that simple, as a lot of biracial can attest to. Because a lot of times, the pressure isn't only on the inside/internally but from those around you and outside as well. A lot of time, family gives you trouble or stress, saying you're too much of the other culture and not theirs, and this also causes stress on the other partner and whole family in general, and this "bi-racial" representation you talk of unfortunately is still in the works. Most times monoracial people simply make fun of my name (it's from my Asian side) or call me "exotic" whatever that means. Nobody really "understands" biracial people at the moment, ya know? But honestly, once again I deeply respect your take, it's fresh, but also does have some flaws/ignorances. Cheers
I was two-timed with a korean woman he ended up choosing because he wanted someone to present to his parents. I didn’t go through break up - i was ghosted. A week or two later i see him holding hands with a gorgeous korean girl. I thought he was serious bc he never slept with me & took me on expensive dates, even though as a prosecutors investigator he makes average money. Most foreign women I know in korea have a similar experience. We are NOT their wifeys. They built a harem with us only to choose their queen at the end, who was never part of the harem to begin with. Because she’s more worth than a foreigner.
@@amorelockster1023 honestly it didn’t hurt me because I wasn’t serious with him either. having lived in korea for a while I knew exactly what was going to happen to me, so I didn’t get attached in the first place. still took me by surprise.
Dang I'm so sorry that happened to you. I feel like a lot of girls are so influenced by these k dramas thinking they are real but when they go to korea it's completely different...
Don’t feel bad I went through that with a Chinese Filipino man he loved me and his father would’ve killed him if he married me a white divorced woman so I left
I'm so surprised and excited to see Moon on this video. I've seen some of her Reels on Insta and I like the fact that she's confident enough to share her stories. It feels good to be represented as a French Blasian person. Such a smart and beautiful woman! You go girl!
Wahhh Moon is absolutely stunning and so charming... I'm a lil crushed that she's only into guys but whatever lol and I cant' believe she's not a model with that unique aura, height and looks I really would've thought she was a supermodel
As a half-Korean, I can relate with these ladies. My mother forced me to learn/speak Korean which I am so grateful. As a child who grew up in S. Korea - I didn't feel discriminated. Actually, I got discriminated when I came to U.S.
Glad I'm not the only one thinking that! She has a bold style that accentuates her beautiful skin tone and I like how she did her make up 😍 She just looks so cool and badass!
I relate with Moon with identifying mixed due to living in different countries for years. I'm not mixed race(as in not biracial), but both my parents are from neighboring asian countries and I've lived on both countries by living a few years here and a few years there. Like, I just identify as both. Some people would ask me if I identify as this or that, but in the end, I've been shaped through the different experiences I had in my life. And I just fully accept both identities as my own.
I'm mixed race, from a country where mixed race people are the majority. Being mixed race here is the default, it's normal and people embrace it. I think it's the healthiest way to approach being mixed race, not identifying with one group or the other but identifying as mixed race as a whole. I am white, native American, and black... and I'm not directing my heritage to see wich group I fit in with more. I live in north america, who went through segregation, something that my country never went through and I can tell that a lot of the attitudes affecting mixed race people are a result of the cultural influence the recent history of segregation had in this country
@@TuAmigoElMorrocoy I agree with you as well! I wish that was the norm in America but it's not. I think this is why so many mixed race people have identity problems because people force them into one race. While that one race typically doesn't fully accept the mixed race person.
@@CyberMachine That is why segregation when practiced correctly takes into account third, fourth and any other eventual races or mixtures involved. South Africa had segregation by law and the country THRIVED for ALL races. Back in those days South Africa was the envy of Africa along with White-led Rhodesia, the prosperous ""Bread Basket of Africa"" with its well managed farms that employed millions of Black Africans. Peace and prosperity ruled and was improving by the year. During Apartheid MANY MILLIONS of Black Africans fled TO White-governed Apartheid South Africa as refugees fleeing their own Black-ruled countries north of South Africa, like Angola, Congo-Kinshasa, Cameroon, Nigeria, Mozambique etc. to the safety and opportunities of living in a country still ruled by White Afrikaaners. It was only when communist lies were dissimulated amongst the people of South Africa and the rest of the world that needless conflicts arose. Today South Africa is an absolute train-wreck of a country under communist Black African rule, with an utterly dysfunctional and ever crumbling infrastructure and crime rates hundreds of times off the charts compared to Apartheid South Africa under White Afrikaner government. Many honest local Black Africans and White Afrikaners will attest to this even thirty years after the end of Apartheid. Segregation for the sake of peace and prosperity is good. The same reason every family around the world lives in their own unique house with doors and gates. On the other hand real cruelty, usury, selfishness, greed, thievery, slavery, economic abuse, violence, murder and slanted laws that cause harm to individuals and, or, entire nations such as has become the norm in modern day Black African governed South Africa are wrong. We all know this. Let us all speak plainly and truthfully about these topics. Honesty is how humanity makes progress to everyone's mutual gain. Win-win for all.
@@CyberMachine most mixed race people in the USA have white mothers and black fathers. This union is usually a fetishization union, that’s why these biracial kids have identity problems.
I’m going to call BA on this response. Many of the Caribbean countries have large, mixed race populations, but white and nearly white skin wields the lion’s share of economic power, land ownership, influence over the labor, market, and and upholds key elements of the colonial past. Because of the transatlantic slave trade of Africans, almost all of the Americas have what can only be called a profound influence byEuropean colonizers, by black African slaves and indentured, servants, and indentured servants of southeast Asia Lands like Puerto Rico, Dominican republic, Cuba, Bermuda, T&T and countless others are stuck in a delusional, feedback, loop, pretending to the world that they are harmonious and consistent in their perception of mixed race, when those nations are violently rife with a colorism, race schisms, racism, and perhaps, a sad delusion that Spain is still a world power, that is an adequate mayor of the delusion of racial, color, and class cohesion people from these lands profess.
Moon is so gorgeous, I thought she was a model cause I know I've seen her somewhere before. This was an interesting conversation - I would have liked to get a more clear timeline of where all Moon and Siyeon lived and the languages they spoke as I was surprised they both had lived so many places. Very cool!
This got me laughing! I’m half Korean half black and noticed how touch their hands to their mouths while laughing and do that “ooooooh” sound throughout the conversation. Those are so stereotypical Korean mannerisms!! 😂
@@Hellohello-su2zy no one’s stupid enough to think black is a country. I’m speaking from the perspective of ethnicity. Mom’s Korean and dad is ADOS living in the US. Most of us ADOS don’t know what country or tribes our ancestors are from. So since you want more precision….my mom is Korean-American and dad Black American
Haha hands covering mouths while laughing is something many women over the world do though. Even in the 19th century Victorian era, women used to cover their mouths with fans while laughing, and that was in the UK
I fell in love about moon months ago, she's so confident, eloquent and beautiful 😍 I really hope to more & more people get to know her music because she's so talented and hard working, Moon you're such a icon to many black and mixed girls out there, keep shining ✨
Moon est une vraie source d'inspiration. force et courage à toi dans ton aventure musicale. je te souhaite beaucoup de succès dans tout ce que tu entreprend.
Moon's boots are cool as hell! Despite their very different lives, they still had so many similarities or could easily relate to eachother. Hope they get to become friends after this interview
So this has been said probably 100x already..but Good GOD MOON IS FREAKING GORGEOUS!!!! I'm an American GenX Black woman, hetero and old enough to be both girls' mom. Of course many of us aren't exposed to many Blasians...or Black and Korean in this case. Moon's features are absolutely stunning. It's amazing what you can create when you add Black to it!!!!😂 Also, I want to note the ability to be multilingual is awesome. America is the only country that place emphasizes on one language. We are behind the cultural curve on that one. I love this video, your conversation and just being able to view the experience!!❤
Moon isn’t Korean - she’s 3/4 black and 1/4 Vietnamese. Her mother is Central African/Vietnamese and her father is Senegalese - it’s pretty incredible how prominent her Asian genetic heritage is! But she is absolutely uniquely stunning, like mesmerisingly so!
California. Load up your truck and move to Beverly... Hills that is. You find Blasians in coastal cities like LA where Koreans and Filipinos are, SanFran, and NYC. There's less race-mixing going on between blacks and asians because they are importing more wealthy asians than 40 years ago, more asians are moving out to white spaces/neighborhoods, and let's keep it real the larger their population becomes the more insular and less reliant on the "black-yellow alliance" to move around. There were some black people 60-80 years ago that saw the new immigrants were only using black people as a stepping stone. Even Richard Pryor talked about it in his comedy. They were largely ignored as being racist or conspiratorial. Now here we are decades later in modern context where you say "That's weird. I never see blasian people anywhere." Now you know why. You'd think that based on raw numbers that the larger the Asian population explosion in America, the more blasians you'd see as a result. However racism and economics are the two factors why you see way more wasians than in the past and the trending spike.
Awwwww this is so wholesome 😭 Having two mixed kids and living in a third country, this is really helpful, lately I became lazy about our immersion in both three cultures, I'm a little stressed and busy but, usually we have a lot from Chinese, peruvian and of course Italian culture (this one daily), also a lot about other cultures, we love food so going to the Korean BBQ or Chinese hotpot or the Indian restaurant is a must, festivals are an amazing date too, we went to the tanabata festival and enjoyed a lot, also to our favorite traditional Japanese restaurant before they closed for holidays, also cooking at home, can't wait for fall for days of kimchi stew, kids love it😂 When we are outside and we met a mixed couple it's really nice to exchange our points of view and to talk about our experiences, for now kids don't ask much about their identities, I mean, they know and understand my "we are a lot, you are half chinese because dad is chinese and half peruvian because I am peruvian but, we also have the Italian citizenship as I grew up here and you were born and are living here, you are a lot and that is beautiful"... the whole heritage part is more complicated as from my family we have more, my grandmother's grandfather was Spanish and from my grandfather we have also African roots and Italian roots from my dad side... so 😂 for now I kept the mainly 3 countries. When they will grow up a bit more and will start asking more I think we'll have the "we r the world" chat and the "roots" chat. I just love watching mixed grown up kids talking about their experiences and themselves, it could be very helpful as a mom, as parents to try make a little more for them, it could be hard if you are living in one of your parents country and u feel pushed away, I think we did well staying in Italy, even if, here, there is a lot of xenophobia 😅😅😅 but... recently I met this amazing group of young people who are doing an amazing job and gave me a hope for a different experience to my kids.
Moon is exquisite. And MANY Asians are very dark skinned....Burma....Thailand Malaysia Indonesia. As someone who studies languages since age 11 i say BRAVO that they're both multilingual...love that❤
when moon was talking about the instagram situation, I just kept thinking, "it's not about being just foreigne, it's about being black." when we experience racism, it really irritates me and makes me feel really annoyed
Love both ladies. Moon glows. I was born in Africa and mixed race genes from 3 generations back were expressed in me. I get treated like a foreigner in a land i'm native for 400 years😂.
But you look African? Just a little bright however Africans have skin tone and features like you. Some are even lighter skinned than you. So what do you mean they treated you like a foreigner?
I love how at the end the Half-White Korean girl expressed relief that the Half-Black girl was positive because she was nervous. Because across the world there is just such negative talk about any of us that are black, so people have these negative expectations with no experience. I am glad this video created an experience for the Half-White girl so perhaps she won't be a part of the negativity that is spread around the global. Great video!
The fact that they both can speak French and can converse fluently in Korean and English is amazing!
And at the same time too!!! That's not easy switching from languages.
@@CocoChanelle-1 They should start in in preschool..... No reason not to have them being talking to them as soon as they start school....

I’ve never seen anyone that looks like moon. She’s intriguingly beautiful. Her style just makes her look even more unique.
I think a big brand will recruit her soon cz omg the beauty 😩
She kinda looks like Megan thee stallion, just stunning
Right. She could easily be a top model in the US.
shes so pretty 😭
It's the fact you think saying "intriguingly" beautiful is not a racist fetishization. Just say she is beautiful if that's what you genuinely think, and learn to appreciate mixed race people or say nothing at all. You need to learn more about the lives of mixed people.
I love that Moon said she doesn't see herself as 50% of either culture, she wants to be 100% of all. I love that. I have cousins with that mindset and they are happy people because of it.
This made me really want to take a look at my DNA ancestry. I heard that if you know your mom’s ancestry, then you’re probably not far off and my mom did a kit and has results of her DNA. But I want to see and have my own.
Edit: for the same purpose. I love traveling and learning different cultures and I have nothing but knowing I’m black in the US, with Irish somewhere in my bloodline. I want to know all I can. How many different cultures came together to get to me?

There’s a saying in Korean: “If you’re half-White Korean, you get on reality shows; if you’re half-black Korean, you get on documentaries.” Hopefully that will stop being the case soon.
난 한국인으로써 현실은 조금 다르다고 생각함. half-black 한국인이면 연예계(특히 예능)에서 화제성이 있는 경우가 드물지만 있는편이고 연기나 실용예술계열 학교에 진학할때도 상당히 유리한편임. 진짜로 한국 사회에서 차별받거나 관심 밖의 영역에 있는 사람들은 흑인 혈통이 아니라 동남아시아, 중동아시아, 중국계 한국인임
Damn Korea...You can do better !
Asian minds are colonized by white men...
@@Odong_the_duckthank you for your knowledge!
I believe it, white people, specifically white men, who go to Asian countries to teach really do so to use their racial status to influence others. Being white in Asia is like being a celebrity, and they take advantage of that.
Edit: Fetishization is obviously going to appear and feel differently for different areas or regions. This is not a comparison post, this isn’t a “my problems are worse post” …this is addressing the mindset as a whole because it’s done terrible damage to many communities. I can relate to Moon in soo many ways and felt prompted to acknowledge feelings I know others are dealing with across the globe.
Glad they addressed fetishization . It’s really bad in America too but here it’s about skin tone and hair. Very proud to see people standing against it
I’m sorry but it’s not the same. The amount of diversity here is so low. Like 96% Korean, so if your foreign mostly guys who approach you have fetish and will use you. I’ve had cafes repost me and married men with children message me because they want to try foreign women. Almost daily I have people approach me, I’ve been sexually assaulted bc they think foreigners are easier, you stand out so much,. There is laws against excluding people for race in the US but not here. Here in Korea it’s perfectly legal to reject people for homes or found to restaurants. The home I live In isn’t even in my name but my boyfriends because no where would rent to foreigners of any race. America is a diverse country and seeing people of other races isn’t unusual, most people are accepting and don’t care for you race and will date for personality. It’s almost never like that here
@@alexlily3195 I don’t recall calling it the same thing? Circumstances are very different everywhere but to minimize another area because of your personal experience is a little weird. If we do want to play that game and get technical then really the people that are most affected by colorism and fetishization are Black people because it’s literally killing them and mutilization was allowed for so long including today behind it. Your personal grievances don’t account for a race that’s generally hated everywhere.
@@Ohdeyummmi was about to say this
@@Ohdeyummm “it’s really bad here in America too” 🙄 no it’s not the same the experiences are not comparable it’s a whole different ballgame, no matter your colour you not labelled foreigner every day of your life. America isn’t the only country in the world you know, it’s like if we have a problem there’s always an American who has it 10x worse. My bf wants us to go the uk because he can’t stand the amount of men that prey on me and takes me everywhere I need to go because the harassment is daily. I’ve had stalk my daily routine and find my number and tell me they are watching me . I’ve been touched everywhere on my body and sexually assaulted, raped because I look “Russian” and all Russians are sex workers and are exotic and open minded. To men here we are just sex objects every single day . If you fit beauty standards and are pretty to them then sadly your just meat
@@alexlily3195 I sincerely suggest that you look into therapy . No one on here is looking to invalidate your experience I’m just simply pointing out that it’s your individual experience. My original comment was in support of defeating a system that had done damage across the globe . The fact that you made it personal just shows that you’re probably dealing with a lot more than what we’re talking about here which means there’s really no debate… get well soon
I like what Moon said: I don't want to divide anything. I am a mix of everything. She does look like a model.
She is a model. Her name is Gabi Moon
Are you sure? When i look her up, her TH-cam channel shows a light skinned person, not Moon as we see her here.
Plus, Moon said that she gets confused with a model. She didn't say she is a model.
@@amandab8433 No, she is not Gabi Moon, the model. They are two completely different people
here is another case of a person who thinks people are the same person just because they're both mixed with black (when they look nothing alike) ☠@@amandab8433
Moon should be a model. She is extremely unique and cultured.
Model industry is full of predators! I dont want her to be like regualr girls selling beaity with no actual talents or skills. Model industry is glamorized human trafficking ring

I have a feeling these two girls would be really good friends if they keep in touch beyond this interview. They have a lot of similar experiences and are both very open and friendly. They both seem like really lovely people.
guarantee you moon's experiences in korea are far n away more controversial than siyeon's
@@emmetttill4182She Blk. Most races still acts ignorant towards them.
I was thinking the same thing!!
@hamterothey are both French
@hamteroi guarantee you the other person is right
I agree with Moon 100% on the idea that Korean men often have a fantasy of mixed-race women and look to foreign women as "one night stands"🤦🏿♀ and Korean women as the IT girl. No shade to the Korean women at all tho. I've always thought it was kind of weird how Korean men have this impression that all foreign women are into that kind of thing. I know not all Korean men have this mentality, however it still kind of irritates me a bit. But all of that aside, I think both women are beautiful !😍 Moon's skin is glowing btw! Like yesss melanin queen I see you girl !🙌🏿
They do not treat all korean girls the same tho
Probably bc foreign women, black women in particular, are represented by popular media aka rappers. Female rappers are our most popular form of black women and their videos, well, paint a picture. I don’t see a problem with their art of expression nor do I think Korean men should use that as an excuse to generalize but we can’t deny that they are the examples people see us by unfortunately. I wish we could diversify our image but media rarely shines light on the average black women; the ones in college or working for their family, the models and etc 😭
And Korean girls want white men so it honestly goes both ways. And with kpop and how fans act those men aren’t wrong with the koreaboos lmao
@@ratpatootie9579it’s interesting that you say that because Korean female idols constantly have outfits that are so small that we can see their panties and they are doing sexual dances. So the fact that many Korean guys (I’ve heard this before) say that the American musicians image is the reason that they think foreign girls are easy is so hypocritical. It’s just an excuse to treat women badly.
Edit: I just want to add something after reading the replies. If Korean men can know the difference between idols and real Korean women, they are smart enough to understand the different between American/European artist and real women.
The way korean women warn international women I visited korea with my husband who's 1/2 indonesian 1/2 thai. We were eating at a restaurant I went to the restroom and a korean girl typed on Google translate "don't trust korean men be careful sister" and showed me the screen. I explained to her but that moment was a eye opener.
Both girls have such a unique mixture of their races it’s honestly beautiful to see the diversity in their beauty 💖
❤
Truly, but we are all the same inside and need to put our cultural brainwashing aside.
I think Moon is so drop dead gorgeous that her race really shouldn't matter. It's too bad a lot of guys can't see that. She's like a 20 out of 10. She should be a high fashion model if she isn't already.
She's said most people assume she's a model. She knows her face card never gets declined. The issue is that if you're not korean you get treated like a runthrough constantly. Would be nice if it didn't matter where she was from and got treated nicely but alas
You are a woman, so, it's impossible for you to understand real beauty as is understand by men. Women called beautiful to obese women, that's delusional, but does not matter, the SVM is given by men.
So because she's gorgeous, her race shouldn't be an issue but if she were average, being racially biased is understandable?? Lol
Whoa
She start music !
She fine as hell
Their friendship chemistry is amazing. I hope they keep in touch after the interview.
That's what I came away with too. Seems like they would hit it off in real life and and be really good friends.

Oh I hope so too!
At 9:07 'Do you think I'm ugly?' However, it is incorrectly translated as ‘Do you think I’m pretty?’ The subtitle somehow makes this woman seem arrogant and self-absorbed.
I think the subtitles were made like this because they were talking negatively about Korea. Koreans' Intelligent public opinion method. It causes the person to be misunderstood and makes the person laughable or insulted.
The half white's "ooo" "uuu"..
My husband is Vietnamese, and I'm Black American and Belizean. We are striving to make sure our two daughters embrace their heritages and cultures just as Moon has.
Omg you should make videos! People would watch
I'm American Portuguese n his father is Haitian. We are Americans we are both along w our families to pass traditions and culture he is such an intelligent person I am so proud of him ❤ he may not understand today but he will later 😎
as a viet-american, it’s really inspiring to see mixed asians accept and embrace all ethnic parts of themselves because i had grown up struggling to understand where i am in terms of culture. not asian or american enough is definitely prevalent experience still, but see these ladies thrive makes me feel less ashamed of my journey to understanding myself
If it ok by you- please explain what you mean by "the shame of trying to trying to understand yourself".
You have to watch 1000% Me by Kamau Ball. Being mixed race is definitely a different type of struggle in itself. I’m Filipina/blk and to learn I wasn’t the only one feeling that way brought some solace. Love and except yourself first ❤
@@apalmer3472 1000% Me sounds interesting. Will watch. My great grandparent was mixed race. These genes have come back and now sometimes people ask me where im from and treat me like a foreigner in my own homeland where we have settled for 400 years in Africa. I was even told nobody can place where my hair colour or texture belongs. There's no negative discrimination but it feels like a part of me needs to find its other home in order to be complete.
You are not defined by your ethnicity, although it is a part of who you are. You are defined by the person you choose to be (you define yourself because others will always have something to say about you) You can be any ethnicity but at the end of it all, what is the character you want to show to the world ? Your values, your principles. What do you like ? What do you dislike ? What do you want out of life ? What kind of person do you want to be ? Your actions are not defined by ethnicity. Those are the things that make you you, oh and you happen to be mixed ethnicity and be part of both cultures and so beautifully made. Belonging does not come from others but from yourself. This is what i concluded from my experience. Good luck on your journey to self discovery 😊❤️
There is no American. If it's white you mean European?
That girl Moon is absolutely STUNNNNNING ! Her eyes are absolutely gorgeous, the shape of her face is so dainty, but she didn’t say which African country her father is from.

Love how they’re calling out men’s disgusting behaviour cuz it’s not right to think that a girl can just be “a one night stand” without getting to know her. Like, it’s disrespectful and inconsiderate these poor girls going through trauma just cause of their ethnicities is so sad and so relatable

@@whyparkjiminnotridejimin
Using other individuals as ONE NIGHT STAND opportunism is a sin called ADULTERY.
Doesn't matter who does it to whom.
And many MANY women wilfully perpetrate that sin too.
Sex is something we should enjoy with someone we truly love and care about, which automatically implies someone we would like to marry and eventually build a family with?
Why would anyone want to abuse someone else's trust and intimacy if they truly cared about them?
We all need more wisdom.
More mercifulness and more honesty.
Christ Jesus can give us those good things if we simply just ask sincerely with a humble, repentant heart.
Thus we escape the trap of sin which has its own dire consequences down the line.
Blessings.

I had a policy when living in Korea to never date what I called "Korean-Koreans" - they were Koreans who had never lived abroad or had extensive experiences abroad. For the same reason these girls are recalling. I had too many experiences of being the "white horse". Now in Japan, I have the same policy because the same mindset exists here. The two countries were too closed off from the rest of the world for so long that a fetish for foreigners, but not a genuine interest in them has developed. It is SO rare to meet a Korean or Japanese person who has never lived abroad with a truly open mind-set towards foreigners (and I do not mean "open-minded" in the way the fetishizers mean).
I get what you mean
I don't think we have an expression like the "white horse" in Japan. But again, if you don't like Japanese people, why are you in Japan?
You make a valid point
I can say the same thing about Americans. I started life out as an Army brat and also served. Some American people can't understand how I can make friends with foreigners which is nuts in my opinion.
I've set foot on Guam, South Korea, Japan, Canada and every state we have and I talk to everyone the same. It's basically the way I was raised. Oh, I was an over-the-road driver 1991-2018 and sometimes had to remind myself what part of country I was in when it came to dealing with some people. I'm generally a nice person but there are those who want to try and take advantage of it and then I'd have to sometimes get in Drill Sergeant mode.
Oof. I didn't even know what "open-minded" or "hunting" meant socially until one of my coworkers told me they were hitting on me and making fun of me.
I related so much to what the dark skin girl was saying. As an interracial dater, there are some red flags that every woman should look for. We are fetishized most of the time. This was honest dialogue. Every foreigner seem to call us "Beyonce" or Rihanna" and we look nothing like them. Those are the only reference they seem to know for Black woman.
@@melc4308 Yup, it's understandable. Sorry for that. We need to have more dialogues like this. It's disturbing. I have avoided engaging in conversations with men who are strangers in general.

Its so great to see these women embracing their heritage and as someone who wants to learn every language in the world, to hear them go from one to the other fluently is amazing~~
what Moon said is so true with almost every race and country, they see women from their own country in very precious kinda way like "must protect and respect" whereas foreign women are like just a one time thing
I hope men start seeing ALL women in a respectable way
Except black men. They see other women as more precious than theirs. Which probably explains why they’re at the bottom of the hierarchy. Men who don’t value their image will never make it to the top.
Mmmm idk if that’s true, most countries with a more traditional culture feel that way, but I think most western countries don’t really have that mindset, especially black westerners tbh
In America it is the opposite. American men I think would prefer a foreign woman.
@@DaughterEarth8Agreed. Same for American women typically preferring a foreign man.
@@ToriOfTheNile what do you mean 'especially black westerners tbh'?!
The way they both groaned at the same time -- MOOD! I'm mixed too (light skinned Filipino-American) and when I lived in Korea I literally had men chat me up on the train. When I was a student there, I was still figuring out my sexuality and the guy I was into at the time was exactly like Siyeon said: did all the steps but was like "no we're not dating." By the time I graduated college and moved back to Korea for work, I realized that I'm a lesbian and I got reactions across the board. Some of my Korean guy friends were like, "Oh really? That's fine!" And some literally ghosted me. Like the idea that I wasn't "available" to them anymore made them not want to contact me again. It's really sad cuz I was really close with one of them and being ignored really hurt me. I've never had a Korean guy randomly touch me though. Most of my bad experiences with men in Korea were with white men. Ofc :)
everything you said is sooo interesting and says a lot about how some korean men think around relationship stuff. i just had a question ! i’m a lesbian too and i live in france, but i’ve always wanted to study in korea for university and even live there for some time but i’ve wondered if it would be hard regarding my sexuality. will people turn me down immediately if i ever tell them and not want to be my friend anymore ? or is it really hard to find a partner here ? i’m just asking myself these questions and i’ll admit it’s a bit scary :’) do you have any advice ?

Bruh. Moon is BEAUTIFUL. Dang. Her mother is gorgeous first of all. And wow. She is absolutely stunning. I hope this doesn’t sound like fetishization. 😅 I was just taken aback by her beauty.
Same. Probably on of the most beautiful people I’ve seen before.
Appreciating beauty is different from fetishisation, don't let people try to convince you that your pure natured thoughts on this are wrong
Fetishism is when you constantly go for someone for something like their race/ethnicity just bc they're that race/ethnicity, it wouldn't be fetishism to just be attracted to someone who's different. It's also okay to find a particular race or ethnicity extremely beautiful, as long as it's not dehumanizing.
@@uniquenewyork3325if that’s the truth, then why does no one (except black males, because they can’t stfu about WW) get accused of fetishizing white women, even though they are the standard of beauty and people will date them simply for being white? It’s only a fetish when someone wants to date a brown girl, as if people are incapable of wanting us. That is kinda aggy.
No lies told, Moon is FN gorgeous!
they are both so well spoken. it is endearing hearing them switch languages yet they can still understand each other.
Moon looks like a Disney princess. She is so beautiful.
They’re both so pretty and charming💕 And Moon’s skin is so beautiful like what the heck???
I'm half Asian half European white, and it feels nice to have this kind of content available! Sometimes, it feels like none of the races my genetics belong to will "believe" me I'm theirs, so it's comforting to hear from people in similar situations ^^
What you gonna do if theres a war lol
*I don’t mean to come off as insensitive but…
Why do you need to be either one? Why not be okay with being both. People will gatekeep their identity because they have to represent themselves. For example, why would a Filipino person want a Japanese person to represent them in shows, Mrs. universe etc. and so on.
As a monoracial person (black specifically), I don’t even feel like I fit in with most of the people in my own racial group, but as a person I’m so secure in who I am now that me not fitting in doesn’t bother me. If I was biracial I would be fine with being both instead of trying to feel a part of either one. My cousin is biracial and proudly claims Cuban and Kenyan instead of one or the other. If you are white and Asian own it. I think biracial people deserve their own representation rather than trying to feel like one part or the other only.
@@EtherealSolana I understand your perspective, but also, as a half-white half Asian person, it's not quite that simple, as a lot of biracial can attest to. Because a lot of times, the pressure isn't only on the inside/internally but from those around you and outside as well. A lot of time, family gives you trouble or stress, saying you're too much of the other culture and not theirs, and this also causes stress on the other partner and whole family in general, and this "bi-racial" representation you talk of unfortunately is still in the works. Most times monoracial people simply make fun of my name (it's from my Asian side) or call me "exotic" whatever that means. Nobody really "understands" biracial people at the moment, ya know?
But honestly, once again I deeply respect your take, it's fresh, but also does have some flaws/ignorances.
Cheers
Moon is breathtakingly STUNNING! Love how they both are multi-lingual.🥰
Omg. How can somebody look like Moon?!😮 i gasped when I saw her. She is absolutely mesmerising😍😍😍
I was two-timed with a korean woman he ended up choosing because he wanted someone to present to his parents. I didn’t go through break up - i was ghosted. A week or two later i see him holding hands with a gorgeous korean girl. I thought he was serious bc he never slept with me & took me on expensive dates, even though as a prosecutors investigator he makes average money. Most foreign women I know in korea have a similar experience. We are NOT their wifeys. They built a harem with us only to choose their queen at the end, who was never part of the harem to begin with. Because she’s more worth than a foreigner.
Oop I know that was hard for you I hope you’re doing well now
@@amorelockster1023 honestly it didn’t hurt me because I wasn’t serious with him either. having lived in korea for a while I knew exactly what was going to happen to me, so I didn’t get attached in the first place. still took me by surprise.
Dang I'm so sorry that happened to you. I feel like a lot of girls are so influenced by these k dramas thinking they are real but when they go to korea it's completely different...
Don’t feel bad I went through that with a Chinese Filipino man he loved me and his father would’ve killed him if he married me a white divorced woman so I left
This is beautiful to watch. Two ladies breaking barriers and stereotypes. Well-done 👏🏼👏🏼
I'm so surprised and excited to see Moon on this video. I've seen some of her Reels on Insta and I like the fact that she's confident enough to share her stories. It feels good to be represented as a French Blasian person. Such a smart and beautiful woman! You go girl!
What's her insta handle please?
Please, what's her Ingram name?
Wahhh Moon is absolutely stunning and so charming... I'm a lil crushed that she's only into guys but whatever lol and I cant' believe she's not a model with that unique aura, height and looks I really would've thought she was a supermodel
Right?! She needs to hurry up and get into modeling. She’s basically born for this, she’s so gorgeous.
shes a model and rapper
Ummmm…. Sorry but must girls are only into guys.
They are both beautiful….why is everyone specifically riding moons tip?
@@calidawg510 why do you have a problem with her getting attention?
As a half-Korean, I can relate with these ladies. My mother forced me to learn/speak Korean which I am so grateful. As a child who grew up in S. Korea - I didn't feel discriminated. Actually, I got discriminated when I came to U.S.
Moons mom is def half viet half black.. their Vietnamese genes are strong strong
Yh
Yep, probably an unspoken US army black american dad.
@@Lilly-ud6qsShe literally said her family went to Africa bruh
@@vbenfipxzptit's so strange how people just pull narratives out of their own arse lol.
@@jesusisapisces Exactly like where did that come from💀
Moon is absolutely STUNNING 🤍😍😍
Glad I'm not the only one thinking that! She has a bold style that accentuates her beautiful skin tone and I like how she did her make up 😍 She just looks so cool and badass!
Both of these young ladies are equally beautiful and her complexion is absolutely gorgeous 😊❤
As a french I'm absolutely proud of these 2 girls❤
I relate with Moon with identifying mixed due to living in different countries for years. I'm not mixed race(as in not biracial), but both my parents are from neighboring asian countries and I've lived on both countries by living a few years here and a few years there. Like, I just identify as both. Some people would ask me if I identify as this or that, but in the end, I've been shaped through the different experiences I had in my life. And I just fully accept both identities as my own.
I'm mixed race, from a country where mixed race people are the majority. Being mixed race here is the default, it's normal and people embrace it. I think it's the healthiest way to approach being mixed race, not identifying with one group or the other but identifying as mixed race as a whole. I am white, native American, and black... and I'm not directing my heritage to see wich group I fit in with more. I live in north america, who went through segregation, something that my country never went through and I can tell that a lot of the attitudes affecting mixed race people are a result of the cultural influence the recent history of segregation had in this country
@@TuAmigoElMorrocoy I agree with you as well! I wish that was the norm in America but it's not. I think this is why so many mixed race people have identity problems because people force them into one race. While that one race typically doesn't fully accept the mixed race person.
@@CyberMachine
That is why segregation when practiced correctly takes into account third, fourth and any other eventual races or mixtures involved.
South Africa had segregation by law and the country THRIVED for ALL races.
Back in those days South Africa was the envy of Africa along with White-led Rhodesia, the prosperous ""Bread Basket of Africa"" with its well managed farms that employed millions of Black Africans.
Peace and prosperity ruled and was improving by the year.
During Apartheid MANY MILLIONS of Black Africans fled TO White-governed Apartheid South Africa as refugees fleeing their own Black-ruled countries north of South Africa, like Angola, Congo-Kinshasa, Cameroon, Nigeria, Mozambique etc. to the safety and opportunities of living in a country still ruled by White Afrikaaners.
It was only when communist lies were dissimulated amongst the people of South Africa and the rest of the world that needless conflicts arose.
Today South Africa is an absolute train-wreck of a country under communist Black African rule, with an utterly dysfunctional and ever crumbling infrastructure and crime rates hundreds of times off the charts compared to Apartheid South Africa under White Afrikaner government.
Many honest local Black Africans and White Afrikaners will attest to this even thirty years after the end of Apartheid.
Segregation for the sake of peace and prosperity is good.
The same reason every family around the world lives in their own unique house with doors and gates.
On the other hand real cruelty, usury, selfishness, greed, thievery, slavery, economic abuse, violence, murder and slanted laws that cause harm to individuals and, or, entire nations such as has become the norm in modern day Black African governed South Africa are wrong.
We all know this.
Let us all speak plainly and truthfully about these topics.
Honesty is how humanity makes progress to everyone's mutual gain.
Win-win for all.
@@CyberMachine most mixed race people in the USA have white mothers and black fathers. This union is usually a fetishization union, that’s why these biracial kids have identity problems.
I’m going to call BA on this response. Many of the Caribbean countries have large, mixed race populations, but white and nearly white skin wields the lion’s share of economic power, land ownership, influence over the labor, market, and and upholds key elements of the colonial past. Because of the transatlantic slave trade of Africans, almost all of the Americas have what can only be called a profound influence byEuropean colonizers, by black African slaves and indentured, servants, and indentured servants of southeast Asia
Lands like Puerto Rico, Dominican republic, Cuba, Bermuda, T&T and countless others are stuck in a delusional, feedback, loop, pretending to the world that they are harmonious and consistent in their perception of mixed race, when those nations are violently rife with a colorism, race schisms, racism, and perhaps, a sad delusion that Spain is still a world power, that is an adequate mayor of the delusion of racial, color, and class cohesion people from these lands profess.
Moon should be a friggin model. That girl is gorgeous and unique. Wow! Honestly they're both beautiful. 🔥🔥
the way they speak to eachother is so kind and respectful of different points of view
so refreshing to see
She's absolutely gorgeous and I love her polite composure. And she's also smart with picking up the Korean language just from modeling. Love her eyes.
Moon is so gorgeous, I thought she was a model cause I know I've seen her somewhere before. This was an interesting conversation - I would have liked to get a more clear timeline of where all Moon and Siyeon lived and the languages they spoke as I was surprised they both had lived so many places. Very cool!
This got me laughing! I’m half Korean half black and noticed how touch their hands to their mouths while laughing and do that “ooooooh” sound throughout the conversation. Those are so stereotypical Korean mannerisms!! 😂
@@Hellohello-su2zy no one’s stupid enough to think black is a country. I’m speaking from the perspective of ethnicity. Mom’s Korean and dad is ADOS living in the US. Most of us ADOS don’t know what country or tribes our ancestors are from. So since you want more precision….my mom is Korean-American and dad Black American
@@chococat746he or she is saying why keep using a social construct that literally means inferior to another group.
@@Hellohello-su2zy
Ignorant take
Haha hands covering mouths while laughing is something many women over the world do though. Even in the 19th century Victorian era, women used to cover their mouths with fans while laughing, and that was in the UK
@@janinejay3423 I believe you. I guess it’s part of the charm of the feminine coquettish arts
Moon's style is everything! :)
I fell in love about moon months ago, she's so confident, eloquent and beautiful 😍 I really hope to more & more people get to know her music because she's so talented and hard working, Moon you're such a icon to many black and mixed girls out there, keep shining ✨
Moon est une vraie source d'inspiration. force et courage à toi dans ton aventure musicale. je te souhaite beaucoup de succès dans tout ce que tu entreprend.
Moon is STUNNING. If she isn't a model she absolutely should be!
They’re both so beautiful!! Inside and out
Moon's boots are cool as hell! Despite their very different lives, they still had so many similarities or could easily relate to eachother. Hope they get to become friends after this interview
Siyeon is so freakin beautiful and well-spoken! I'm a fan!
Moon is absolutely beautiful, i can't stop looking at her !!!! Her beauty is so unique
Both of them are adorable irl. Love them, i hope good things will happened for both of them! 💕
The one mixed with black is something AMAZING 😻
Moon would be such an exotic addition to the runways. She’s stunningly uniquely beautiful.
i like how they switched from korean to english and then one girl spoke in english and the other responded in korean lol
Did I understand correctly that Moon has only been in Korea for a few months? Her language skills are amazing!
She even raps in korean: th-cam.com/video/ipiJOUrIIkE/w-d-xo.html
Theyre both literally so stunning im shook
they are both so pretty. Moon's eyes look so unique and pretty!!!
as a mixed person this reinforced how i feel about how understanding we have to be about different social spaces lol i love to see it🧡
Moon should totally model! She’s breathtaking
Moon is absolutely gorgeous with amazing style. She should be on the catwalk already✨️
they both have such different but chic outfits. and they both causally speak multiple languages. amazing women
So this has been said probably 100x already..but Good GOD MOON IS FREAKING GORGEOUS!!!! I'm an American GenX Black woman, hetero and old enough to be both girls' mom. Of course many of us aren't exposed to many Blasians...or Black and Korean in this case. Moon's features are absolutely stunning. It's amazing what you can create when you add Black to it!!!!😂 Also, I want to note the ability to be multilingual is awesome. America is the only country that place emphasizes on one language. We are behind the cultural curve on that one. I love this video, your conversation and just being able to view the experience!!❤
Moon isn’t Korean - she’s 3/4 black and 1/4 Vietnamese. Her mother is Central African/Vietnamese and her father is Senegalese - it’s pretty incredible how prominent her Asian genetic heritage is!
But she is absolutely uniquely stunning, like mesmerisingly so!
California. Load up your truck and move to Beverly... Hills that is. You find Blasians in coastal cities like LA where Koreans and Filipinos are, SanFran, and NYC. There's less race-mixing going on between blacks and asians because they are importing more wealthy asians than 40 years ago, more asians are moving out to white spaces/neighborhoods, and let's keep it real the larger their population becomes the more insular and less reliant on the "black-yellow alliance" to move around. There were some black people 60-80 years ago that saw the new immigrants were only using black people as a stepping stone. Even Richard Pryor talked about it in his comedy. They were largely ignored as being racist or conspiratorial. Now here we are decades later in modern context where you say "That's weird. I never see blasian people anywhere." Now you know why. You'd think that based on raw numbers that the larger the Asian population explosion in America, the more blasians you'd see as a result. However racism and economics are the two factors why you see way more wasians than in the past and the trending spike.
Guys, moon is a rapper🤯!! Im like obsessed with her, I hope she become a idol
Awwwww this is so wholesome 😭
Having two mixed kids and living in a third country, this is really helpful, lately I became lazy about our immersion in both three cultures, I'm a little stressed and busy but, usually we have a lot from Chinese, peruvian and of course Italian culture (this one daily), also a lot about other cultures, we love food so going to the Korean BBQ or Chinese hotpot or the Indian restaurant is a must, festivals are an amazing date too, we went to the tanabata festival and enjoyed a lot, also to our favorite traditional Japanese restaurant before they closed for holidays, also cooking at home, can't wait for fall for days of kimchi stew, kids love it😂
When we are outside and we met a mixed couple it's really nice to exchange our points of view and to talk about our experiences, for now kids don't ask much about their identities, I mean, they know and understand my "we are a lot, you are half chinese because dad is chinese and half peruvian because I am peruvian but, we also have the Italian citizenship as I grew up here and you were born and are living here, you are a lot and that is beautiful"... the whole heritage part is more complicated as from my family we have more, my grandmother's grandfather was Spanish and from my grandfather we have also African roots and Italian roots from my dad side... so 😂 for now I kept the mainly 3 countries. When they will grow up a bit more and will start asking more I think we'll have the "we r the world" chat and the "roots" chat.
I just love watching mixed grown up kids talking about their experiences and themselves, it could be very helpful as a mom, as parents to try make a little more for them, it could be hard if you are living in one of your parents country and u feel pushed away, I think we did well staying in Italy, even if, here, there is a lot of xenophobia 😅😅😅 but... recently I met this amazing group of young people who are doing an amazing job and gave me a hope for a different experience to my kids.
Moon is like a beautiful doll.. almost too perfect and so beautiful . Beautiful mix girl
Moon is basically a carbon copy of her mum, wow❤
I love seeing these type of videos where everyone is so open it’s refreshing 😘😘 and informative 😊
Oh my god, Moon is so beautiful! Her eye shape is gorgeous and her dark skin has such a pretty tone! She's really unique looking, in a lovely way!
Why can't be people more open and honest??? Why does it matter where you came from?
How did you get those emoji’s 😭

Moon is exquisite. And MANY Asians are very dark skinned....Burma....Thailand Malaysia Indonesia. As someone who studies languages since age 11 i say BRAVO that they're both multilingual...love that❤
when moon was talking about the instagram situation, I just kept thinking, "it's not about being just foreigne, it's about being black." when we experience racism, it really irritates me and makes me feel really annoyed
Omg she is gorgeous!!! She looks like a black Mulan!
Both are beautiful- Personality and looks. Love the positivity.
A bit out of context but honestly the half black girl looks like Pocahontas. She is really pretty ✨
She does! So beautiful
Love both ladies. Moon glows. I was born in Africa and mixed race genes from 3 generations back were expressed in me. I get treated like a foreigner in a land i'm native for 400 years😂.
But you look African? Just a little bright however Africans have skin tone and features like you. Some are even lighter skinned than you. So what do you mean they treated you like a foreigner?
You're so pretty :)
@@R_S747 🌺
Moon is strikingly gorgeous. Call it what it is.
I love the girls have similar face shape but different features. Moon’s upturned eyes and Siyeon’s downturned eyes! So pretty.
MOON IS SO BEAUTIFULLLL, like her features, her pretty skin tone, her outfitttt I loved her :3
I love how at the end the Half-White Korean girl expressed relief that the Half-Black girl was positive because she was nervous. Because across the world there is just such negative talk about any of us that are black, so people have these negative expectations with no experience. I am glad this video created an experience for the Half-White girl so perhaps she won't be a part of the negativity that is spread around the global. Great video!
I hope they grabbed coffee at a café after that their interaction was so nice
Indeed, their chemistry is off the charts. They could be best friends for life with the chemistry they have together.
I’m so happy this subject was brought out! Both of you are so beautiful ❤. I love Siloe’s calm and posed aura! You’re so gorgeous!!!
Ohhhhh weeeee! The black and asian one is STUNNING 😮💫😳🥰
Nah she is crazy pretty...like wow!
Followed Moon for a long time and shes so cool ❤❤❤

it was so sweet that Moon asked her gender preference to not make any assumptions despite being straight
