Me and Yoonji from Bangtan Blondes take a DNA Test!
Am I 100% Filipino? Is she 100% Korean?

Not all filipinos have spanish blood.The reason why foreigners sometimes assume that we have spanish blood is simply because of our surnames. But that’s because during the spanish colonization era, they forced filipinos to change their names into a spanish one. 😊

Yoonji's 6% Japanese shouldn't be surprising since Japan and Korea have a long history of political, economic and cultural contacts for centuries. One Japanese or two might have left their genes with Yoonji's ancestor/s during one of these contacts.

As a British descendant (Welsh and Scottish) it's really interesting to see people from other parts of the world have similar questions about their own DNA.

Just letting everyone know that not every person who identifies as Filipino has Spanish or European ancestry. Many have been shocked because they expected Spanish ancestry, due to the Spanish colonizing the Philippines. It’s not common for Filipinos to have Spanish ancestry, but it’s not uncommon. Also, Filipinos are not Hispanic. It doesn’t matter if you have Spanish ancestry or not, it’s more than just that. You do not call Native Americans Asians, right? They descend from people that inhabited Siberian long ago, but that doesn’t make them Asian. I’m Afro American. I have Native ancestry, 2%. But that doesn’t make me Native American.

genetically welsh people are more closely related to the spainish and portugese then they are to the english which somehow help explain your welsh ancestry

Received my 23andMe results today which is why I am here watching this video. Talk about interesting DNA results, mine said I am 7% Spanish/Portuguese when all my huge family knows is that we are Filipinos with small Chinese & Indonesian %s and NO Spanish blood. I was born, raised & lived in the Philippines till my early 20s. Always proudly described my looks as "Filipino" to my western friends. My Asian friends know I look Filipino. Boy! did it surprise me and my family to know that we have no Indonesian but we do have North Indian (2%) & Spanish percentages? I am a senior now & retiring soon and I am in awe at the thought that I had believed most of my life that only Mestizo-looking people have Spanish blood and only a small percentage of Filipinos do. I suspect some more do have more complex DNA make-ups that might include other surprising markers including Spanish-Portuguese. They just haven't been tested. In any case, now I can also start celebrating my North Indian ancestry:)

the reason why "Korean" and "Japanese" are ethnicities and at the same time also nationalities is because korean and japanese histories were historically more often more ethnically homogenous although they did share ancient history together as well, where ancient proto-japonic yayoi ancestors in japan also initially came from the korean peninsula, especially the south. its no surprise a south korean would exhibit both ancestral traits.

I once had a debate with an old friend who moved to america from the Philippines. He said in his post that Filipinos are part asians and part pacific islander.

I said we are not. We are asians. Period. Not once did any teacher in the Philippines nor any text book in school say that we are pacific islanders. We are part of southeast asia. Hence, Asia.

You dont hear indonesians claiming they are from the dutch race nor malaysians and indians claiming they are british race.

We are not latinos either. We are asians. I really dont like this whitewashing of our history from filams.

We are filipinos, we are asians.

[hiphop-ss]

Interesting majority of Filipinos taking DNA test from 23 and me are average 60-80% Austronesian, 15-30% South Chinese... While Indonesians and Malaysians were 60% Austronesian 30-40% Austroasiatics... Some were even higher Austroasiatics DNA to Indonesians... But the Austronesian language won the linguistics spreading towards Malaysia and Indonesia.. Philippines is actually the highest per Capita % of population as Austronesian people in the world, carrying DNA Paternal haplo group O1a

[PutingPinoy]

I still gotta post a video of my DNA test videos. This is really cool though.

The DNA tests results were surprising. Dang we are both European

[harpsgalore]

Not shocking to hear Filipinos having genomes coming from multiple places. I knew it but didn't know exact percentages. In the history of the Philippines there has been people from China, Indonesia, Malaysia, Spain, Mexico (Via Spain), Japan, USA (Via Native American, White American and Black Americans) over it's history via colonization.

This is like living in the USA where the genomes come from multiple places. In some parts of the USA there are people that have part Native American Tribe in their Genomes and never knew about that given their history.

The Korean Genome one I was expecting Chinese, Mongolian to be in the mix along with Japan.

[nogi]

Basically, Japanese and Koreans are very close genetically. Several studies support this. For example, the genetic difference between mainland Japanese and Koreans is smaller than that between mainland Japanese and Okinawa and Ainu, Hokkaido. In short, the relationship between Japan and Korea is similar to that between Britain and Denmark

Anglo-Saxon, the mainstream English nation, came from Denmark and subsequently subjugated and assimilated the Celtic peoples of the north and west

The mainstream Japanese people came from the Korean Peninsula and subjugated and assimilated the Jomon people of Kagoshima in southern Kyushu and the Ainu people of Tohoku

In fact, on 28 And Me, a famous overseas DNA analysis site, Koreans and Japanese are grouped in the same cluster

[Gaspar]

For centuries Filipinos mainly stayed in the Philippines, only very few intermingled outside, so makes sense that the country has become homogenised.

[overpopulatedearth]

The Filipino guy looks like an average Austronesian. He doesn't look like a Mestizo at all. That 3% Spanish didn't do anything to change his appearance.

[olracman]

I’m Filipino and I’m 70 percent ilocano and 10 percent Samoan and 2 percent negrito, 1 percent Korean.

[TravisR]

hi guys, you may or may not know that the Welsh and Basque have common ancestry as "original" inhabitants of Western Europe before that area was inundated by Celtic, Phoenician, Roman, and German peoples, so I would guess that your Spanish ancestry is 100% Basque country - the "original" Europeans! Also, can you tell me what test you took? Some tests are really focused on Europe, to the point that thier results for non-Euro people are pretty meaningless. Thanks!

[oodo]

Basque and Welsh are related DNA's. That's how the Welsh snuck in there. I didn't know that the difference in North and South PH was detectable, though. There's a difference when you look at them but I didn't think a test could catch it.

[dleonardo]

How tf did her ancestors never leave that small area for thousands of years lmao

[amandamelissa]

Hispanic is a term used for people that grew up in a Spanish speaking country. Philippines language is not predominantly Spanish. So you are not a Hispanic.

[hurwkviwvi]

Thats so interesting that you got, not Spanish, but basque!
Thats even somewhat rare in spain!
Btw by what company was the kit?
Greetings from Bilbao, Basque country!!
