Yeah, but is she Korean?

Somebody emailed me from Japan inquiring whether this young lady, a bikini model and occasional AV star, was actually Korean, and whether she had been mentioned here in Korea. She has a Korean name, Young-mi, but she also goes by the Japanese name Emi Kitani and a porn name, Reina Mizuki. Anyway, I haven’t seen anything on her in Korean, but she’s done some Korean-themed photo books (link may or may not be work safe) like Hwan Saeng and Sexy Seoul. Over at JLIST.com, it writes about Hwan Saeng:

Ever since the hit Korean drama “A Winter Sonata” Japan has been fixated with the stars of Korea, and this new photo book of Young Mi gives us more than a glimpse of this Korean Beauty. Already a favorite cover girl of the popular salary man weeklies “FLASH” and “FRIDAY” Young Mi shows herself in her first hair nude photo book, Young is a slender beauty with shapely curves and a come hither smoldering look. This wonderful photo book has Young posing in the bedroom, in the shower, and sneaking a flash outdoors, in underwear, summer dresses, lingerie, and sometimes nothing at all. She expresses a passion in her eyes and her body that will make you long for her after you close this book. We are thankful she came to Japan, and you will be too after seeing this special photo book of a very beautiful woman. Perfect for lovers of Korean idols.

“She expresses a passion in her eyes and her body that will make you long for her after you close this book?” OK… just don’t tell Ryoma Nakaoka.

But more importantly, let me ask — does she look Korean to you? (link NOT safe, and photos enlargeable). In case you need more photos to judge by, here are some (link NOT work safe) from her photo book Delusion — Yonmi.

    Nope not Korean. She sure looks Japanese though. If she’s Korean, she could be half Korean maybe a Zainichi.

    kimbob, a zainichi (kankokujin) [?œจๆ????“??ฝ?บบ] is just a Korean living in Japan, not a special cross-breed of anything.

    While she does look Japanese, they wouldn’t transcribe her name as ?????“??ฟ if she wasn’t Korean. Has to be a reason…

    is just a Korean living in Japan

    She could be born in Japan, holding South Korean citizenship, having a Korean father and a Japanese mother in which case she is still a Zainichi Korean to the Japanese. I’m guessing that’s the case here.

    To settle this argument, have her close her eyes as you place an identically sized mirror and portrait of Yonsama next to each other in front of her.

    Tell her to open her eyes.

    If she looks at Yonsama first, she’s Japanese. If she looks at the mirror first, she’s Korean.

    A hoe by any other name is still a hoe.

    …does she look Korean to you?
    I would have to say in response to this: “She’s naked, thus I dont care.”

    She has a Japanese nose.

    Wow, if a Japanese pretends to be a Korean, Korea has arrived. Koreans are sexy, beautiful, successful and wealthy. Or, is it?

    Koreans wearing hanbok have been main attraction in the seedy back streets of Tokyo for decades. Japanese men have this fantasy about subjugating Korean women, along with western blondes. Nothing is new under the sun.

    If I can get a wiff of her and ends up smelling like garlic, then she’s Korean. If not, then she’s Japanese.

    Someone kindly explain to me…

    1:Why is it that US pr0n pubes are always shaved, but in international pr0n they are almost never?

    2:Do non-americans prefer the Sun Valley style or International style?

    3:Do Koreans obsess over the pube hair as much as the Japanese?

    4:Do non-asian americans(or non-asians in general) who loiter on these sites also obsess over pube hair?

    Inquiring mind wants to know.
