@gmmartines7331 when they arnt blatantly making fun of korean artists yeah. There are some really good American interviewers and some really really aweful ones. Just like anywhere else.
yes however as a host when you are interviewing someone it is common etiquette to know the basics about them so while he was respectful and kind about it it was still dumb to say
This interviewer did it respectfully, though. You can tell he was genuinely curious and surprised. It’s not like the mindless western interviews that are like “wow your English is amazing” and it’s literally an American or Canadian
His tone of voice here, the way he noticed she had a foreign name but spoke so fluently. Unlike Mark or Johnny, who literally have American/Canadian/English names and interviewers are like “wow good job speaking English” as if it’s impossible for a Korean to be raised in an English speaking country. Hope that makes sense 😂
@@user-ij5sp4zv5h for example, the Johnny/Mark moment where Johnny says “I’m from Chicago” - that host was making it seem like the only way an Asian/Korean could be good at English is through studying/hard work, not from the fact that they were born/raised in an English speaking nation. This guy reminds me of someone just picking up on an accent and asking where it’s coming from. A genuine question instead of a rude assumption.
Just realized that the hosts are idols from 1st gen idols. Ofc they asked hiyyih bcs not alot of mixed and foreign idols in their era debuted compare to recent generations.
poor huenings always get questions like this. worst thing is they dont even speak english fluently, they are like 100% korean except their face and name
i dont think him asking was a bad thing tho. theres a difference between curiosity and just being plain racist. he genuinely wanted to know since her first and last name doesnt sound korean.
@@whatinthestaymoaengene thats not the point. even if it was out of curiosity or not they probably get the same questions asked to them over and over again their entire life which is tiring.
two things can be true at the same time: 1) it’s absolutely valid for Hiyyih to be tired of being asked this because it’s something she’s probably been asked over and over for years, and likely in less respectful ways than this; 2) her full name isn’t Korean (Huening is an English or German name and Bahiyyih is Persian) and so it’s not malicious for anyone to incorrectly assume she isn’t Korean, as long as they are respectful in how they treat and interact with her, like this interviewer was.
Is Huening really supposed to be German? Because if so, then it surely is not a very common name here, never heard of anything remotely close tbh 🤔 interesting!
@@evantesseract737 it would make sense to spell it Hüning in German but tbh that still doesn't ring a bell 🤔 Well, Imma just have to take your word for it then 😅
I love how respectful he was most western interviewers say “Oh your English is so good” which ik is kinda the same as saying “Your Korean is so good” but it depends on how you say it
@@kaylapounds1359I’m guessing it’s because 1: bahyihh is like half white 2: I’m pretty sure her name isn’t Korean and it’s valid to assume she isn’t Korean considering she is half white and her name isn’t Korean like most Korean idols/celebrities and for Johnny I’m pretty sure the interview was in America so its pretty common for him to be fluent in English or atleast almost fluent and if the interview was in America in means literally the only reason the interviewer told him his English was good is that he is Asian even though he literally has a English name
@@Thetenacityofkassidy but that's still being xenophobic and assuming that just because she doesn't have a Korean name she wouldn't know Korean. There's plenty of foreigners who aren't in any way Korean but still can speak the language. It's making assumptions in any case and it's not right for either situation. There NO excuse!
@@kaylapounds1359 yeah but still it’s different than assuming someone in a usa interview doesn’t speak English than assuming someone in a Korean interview doesn’t speak Korean cause the thing is the usa is a very diverse country it has people from all ethnicities and a bunch of people in the USA may be like Korean or something but were raised in the usa while korean isn’t very diverse there is still foreigners in Korea but it’s still mainly just Asians so it’s not as bad to assume someone who looks foreign and has a foreign name in Korea doesn’t speak korean

He didnt do wrong. Cuz that is the point of interview. He might know the info about their guest. But if they didnt ask anything abt things that he already knew, so there would be no interview then😅 Many times interviewer act like they didnt know, so the guest star would answer the question. Sooo the viewer can get the info. Moreover, not all of the viewer is their fans. For example myself. If they didnt ask, I would not know. I would not know she had special background story. This interaction is still cute and respectfull. He asked her with good manner. He became the representation of us as nonfans viewer to ask her the same question that we curious about also.
To be fair, her face does look more european/caucasian than korean and the dyed blonde hair makes her look even less korean so you can see how hard it is to tell at first glance.
Okay so like I can tell why people think Shes a foreigner and her name definitely isn't Korean but like she was literally BORN in Korea while both her older siblings were born in America.
Her last name is German and her first name is Persian she is HALF Korean and HALF German but you do have a point she was born in Korea and her siblings were born in America but she is still considered a foreigner a bit
Also she is half white because of her father. Her siblings probably dealt with it too when they got into the K-pop industry too. They all speak fluent Korean with a couple of other languages too I think.
@@justin.tran_ I think she mostly deal with that, because unlike Somi she’s more on the white passing side as a hapa, especially with the blonde hair. They probably mistook her for a Russian or a light skinned arabe.
@@i_only_simp_for_myself800 Yeah I agree, she probably the most white passing out of her siblings with blonde hair, but I doubt the MCs thought she was specifically Russian or Arab, probably just general European or Australian or American.
I mean she looked like shes either foreigner or mixed and her name just sounds not korean, it makes sense if they thought hiyyih is like a fully foreigner
@@sliverhalo9286You ''understand,'' then proceed to act lile he was 'rude?' He was perfectly fine in asking. Even if you're a white with a foreign name in America, ppl will ask the same thing because its an uncommon name.
well it's not his fault tho. but i understand her, people keep on mistaken my nationality too. but the poor girl must be tired of it, she looked like she was about to cry
but it is.. while he was super respectful about it as a host when you invite someone on your show or you are interviewing them you are expected to know the basics about them its common etiquette
I thought Bahiyyih was also half German, could be why they didn't ask what her Father was. Honestly she looked a little sad at the very end in the interview, poor girl 😞
Living in America you get so used to the idea that once you live there a while/become a citizen, you are then an American, regardless of past or ethnicity.. It's weird to me as a American how in so many other countries, even if youve lived there for decades/are a full citizen, or even if you're born there and spend your whole life being raised there, if you don't look like the majority, everyone looks at/treats you as if youre foreign and not "one of them". You can live in a country your entire life, born and raised like her, and everyone around you still looks at you like you're a foreigner. That's kinda sad.
In terms of ethnicity, she's half Korean, but her Dad is complicated 😅 He's an American who was born in Brazil, but isn't ethnically Brazilian - he has European ancestry (English, German, Polish). Bahiyyih wasn't born in Brazil and doesn't have Brazilian ancestry, so she's not Brazilian. Since her Dad's American, she's half American. In terms of nationality, she was born in Korea, has Korean citizenship, and is therefore Korean.
I remembered a TXT member once said, he can't stop looking at Hiyyih and not think of Kai, something of that context. 😂 Like all three siblings look so much alike that they can absolutely pass as triplets. ❤
@@boraaalaanddd I remember when one of the members said that! I just can’t remember who it was. I think it was Soobin? But ya, they could TOTALLY pass as triplets
It's because the amount of koreans that are born in korea not actually using korean names or using part of it is rare. I'm kind of like her, my name is fully in russian and i didnt use my korean name at all. But i dont mind people asking. Most halfie here dont mind people asking that at all.
Kai was born in Hawaii, but Bahiyyih was born in Korea - their parents relocated the family in between. Neither of them have Hawaiian ancestry, though - their Dad is an American (of European descent) and their Mother is Korean. So Bahiyyih is genuinely Korean, in terms of both nationality (born there) and ethnicity (from one Korean parent).
I am sorry but Somi looks even more white than Hiyyih.... Sometimes Hiyyih looks actually mixed with Asian but Somi never looked mixed to me. ( Just to clarify, I love Somi, been her fan for years. So I don't mean to be negative when I say this)
I thought their mama was thai? I know there dad is a white American who had an acting Chinese career. I could have swore her and her brothers mom was Asian from Thailand or Taiwan though.
I don't think people should be rude to the hosts, but it's funny that people make excuses for them thinking she's not Korean when they hate on reporters who tell idols they speak good English/ Chinese. It's honestly the same thing. Even with a non Korean last name, that doesn't mean she couldn't be part Korean or even fully Korean but adopted or going by a stepfather's last name.
Its important to acknowledge how much more progressive the west is when it comes to traditional roles or this type of thing. So in a way the standards are simply just higher in the west because its almost a societal standard. While it was very much a dumb question the dude was super respectful about it and asked the question in one of the best ways possible
But that's a fair assumptions tho? Especially for a white passing person. Im half korean and half white like her. I also didnt use my korean name. It's fair for people to think I'm a foreigner. Most halfie here actually have a korean name being part of their birthname(for example, somi mostly uses a korean name, instead of her birthname, so people knows she's korean. Another example, Han Hyunmin, a model ). It's rare for mixed kids here to not use our korean name at all. Like bahiyyih, i also didnt use mine, so people thought I'm actually from russia with my name, eventhough i was born in korea. It's not something that people should be offended on, especially when they're being respectful about it.
@@user-mAfuNqrSe020x it's really not. Because you're aiming assuming somebody who doesn't look the way you think they should shouldn't understand or speak the language?!
@@sliverhalo9286 progressive? Eh. Considering the way things have been, especially in recent years, I wouldn't call it progressive. As last not in the U.S
@@kaylapounds1359 it's a really fair assumptions. Like i mentioned, I'm also half korean and white(russian), i dont use my korean birthname, i use my russian name. It's understandable for people to think I'm not korean, because again, mix kids here usually uses korean names a lot more than non korean ones or mix them both as in uses part of their non korean name and korean name. Like bahiyyih, i also didnt use any of my korean name and it's fair that people assume I'm not korean.

Like bahiyyih, i also didnt use mine, so people thought I'm actually from russia with my name, eventhough i was born in korea. It's not something that people should be offended on, especially when they're being respectful about it.
@@user-mAfuNqrSe020x it's really not. Because you're aiming assuming somebody who doesn't look the way you think they should shouldn't understand or speak the language?!
@@sliverhalo9286 progressive? Eh. Considering the way things have been, especially in recent years, I wouldn't call it progressive. As last not in the U.S
@@kaylapounds1359 it's a really fair assumptions. Like i mentioned, I'm also half korean and white(russian), i dont use my korean birthname, i use my russian name. It's understandable for people to think I'm not korean, because again, mix kids here usually uses korean names a lot more than non korean ones or mix them both as in uses part of their non korean name and korean name. Like bahiyyih, i also didnt use any of my korean name and it's fair that people assume I'm not korean.
