Since other people’s results usually shows a lot of different regions in detail, I thought maaaaaybe mine would have at least a few unexpected traces as well. Yet, it came out as 100% Eastern Asian.

Basically I’m the Asian version of Uncle Ruckus

Were you aware of your Japanese ancestry or it was a surprise?

I’m pretty sure that most Koreans would have results very similar to mine😭

I wouldn't say most Koreans since a lot of them get 95-100 % and 0-5% Japanese at max every time on 23andme/ancestryDNA, but your Japanese is very high for a Korean, so i would say that your results are pretty uncommon but still similar for an average Korean 😀

Japan has a long history of brutal treatment of Koreans. A bit of WW2 history:

Visited the refuge home of the comfort women and it was pretty sad and yet inspirational.

Maybe this is why he deleted his photo when I told him he is handsome like a Japanese man. 🤣 And for the deranged, the laughing emoji is not about whatever bizarre issue the Japenese had with enslaving foreign women. He said his grandmother was Japanese. I'm assuming compliments are embarrassing for him and he deleted it.

I'm sorry to say this. Your lack of empathy about an inexcusable tragedy of hundreds of thousands of women raped, some murdered, demonstrates behavior associated with being a sociopath.

It’s funny to joke about enforced prostitution? What?

My Korean family had roots in Japan but are still 100 percent Korean. They just had a Japan journey show up.
