Fun Fact : NCT has more Foreign members than Korean members

[zaraayub]

Giselle is actually also half Korean. One of her parent is fully Korean.

Jackson is the most American looking Chinese person I've ever seen.

The only reason I watch these all the way through is because I like watching them all dance. They're all so good!

[jenniehoshiasahiaremybabie]

Meanwhile, Treasure Japanese line and Seventeen Chinese line just be chillin like a villain

[domithedummy]

Fun fact: Fatou from BLACKSWAN is actually a black person born in Senegal so she is also not Korean (which I adore, it's so unique, especially being a black K-pop Idol, it's so cool) and she became a model, and later became a K-pop Idol.

I'm surprised Felix wasn't on there. Him being Australian is pretty iconic

[Tingling]

Let’s go back to Hangeng, Kpop’s very first foreign member. Sad that he was mistreated by music shows in the past, but he paved the way for all foreign Kpop idols now.

[primcasiha]

Fun fact: Hangeng (Hankyung), the ex-member of Super Junior was the very first non-Korean K-Pop idol. In the earlier days of Super Junior, he wasn't even allowed to perform on stages due to him being a Chinese and in some of them he had to wore a full-face mask while performing. Later he filed a lawsuit against SM due to unfair 13-years contract.

SM be like:
We don't know for kpop we just know for Asia-pop

[rngkvv]

I swear WayV is getting so popular now. Im glad they’re getting more attention, I’ve loved their music for a long time now.

[m.k]

No matter what fandom you are, you will always be in love with Jackson. ❤️

[Itsukikiwa]

Honestly I respect very much all the Japanese kpop idols out there. For someone that grew up with a language like Japanese, the Korean language’s pronunciation and accent it’s really hard to master.

[miniteen]

Giselle is actually Korean! She’s half Korean and half Japanese! She was actually born in Korea but moved to Japan

[ediiixy]

Giselle IS in fact half korean half Japanese she was born in korea too but just studied in japan ❤

[joanne]

Lay of EXO-birth name: Zhang Yixing-Chinese

Victoria of f(x)- birth name: Quian Song- Chinese

[esgay]

people in the comments listing idols that are from canada, australia, etc need to know the difference between nationality and ethnicity. they are still korean, just born in another country…

[ainhannani]

I'm wondering how they can learn korean like so fluent they must really hardworking shout out to them ♡
