Let me break it down for you people, plain and simple.

You cannot tell asians apart. It is impossible. You can try, but your accuracy is only based off GENETICAL or physical stereotypical attributes. (You will think a girl with small, single eyelid eyes, side sweeped bangs, and flat small nose is Korean. as an example.)

Korea was ruled by japan and china at one point in history.
Alot of women were enslaved by men from Japan and China....
Many unwanted, some consentual even, mixed births were apparent in that era. If you look at Japan now, alot of Koreans live there. In fact alot of Korean blooded people are not even aknowledged as Koreans, they are citizens, born and living in Japan, therefore they are legally and rightfully, JAPANESE. Those people are called Zainichi Korean. My friend is half Zainichi Korean, half Chinese. So technically... she is Korean, Japanese, AND Chinese. lol.
Because history of these countries show mixture in blood, you cannot look at a Japanese person and assume they are PURE Japanese blood. Technically it may not exist in their blood. I'm not saying ALL Japanese people are either Korean or Chinese mixed but a big percentage is likely (i'm talking about older generations, not 2nd generation....)
I work in japan town in california and I see Asians all the time and I cant tell them apart. One of the regulars is Zainichi Korean, but you would never second guess that she's Japanese, becacuse she looks like the typical Japanese person.

Crystal Kay a popular Japanese pop artist is half african american, half ZAINICHI Korean. Her mom is Zainichi Korean, but technically she is half Japanese.

VERBAL the MC of M-FLO is Zainichi Korean. He is fluent in both languages but still.... he isnt classified as a "Korean" artist, he is "JAPANESE."

MIYAVI , okay who the hell doesnt know Miyavi... lol alot of people don't know this, and I didnt even know this until recently, but he's half Japanese, half Zainichi Korean. That means technically he is just JAPANESE, but being zainichi korean just means you are Japanese but you have the Korean blood.
Can you tell all these people are KOREAN, half KOREAN just by looking at them? I didn't think so....
