Hyooga 10,307 Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 Both Japan and Korea are known to be homogeneous countries but I've been seeing a lot of mixed and foreign celebs active in Japan ever since but save for Insooni and Yoon Mirae, it is only know I'm seeing more mixed and foreign celebs in Korea. I remember seeing foreign celebs like Vivian Hsu being in Japanese mainstream TV shows and mixed celebs like Namie Amuro, Erika Sawajiri, Takeshi Kaneshiro, Wentz Eiji having a lot of fans in Japan years ago Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gildori 510 Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 TIL that Namie Amuro, Erika Sawajiri, and Yoon Mirae are mixed race. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Messica 5,468 Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 The thing is Korea attracts more migrants and is a more multicultural society, theres just less of an interest or openness towards mixed celebrities. Like you have a lot of chinese idols but barely any mixed chinese-korean idols Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hyooga 10,307 Posted May 20, 2016 Author Share Posted May 20, 2016 Is japan really that diverse tho ? The entertainment industry def is a lot of the big celebrities are actually mixed. Some well known stars in Japan are even half Southeast Asians! These two actors for example Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
