I'm excited El for the girls debut soon but it will have to wait meanwhile I'll keep up to date in their socials for their future activities and projects I'll stay tuned to that at least...

Introduce Unis more to your other foreign friends.

Yeah..I think they debut this coming March..but no exact date.. we're proud of being Pilipino Pride.. exposed them more..love Yeah❤❤❤❤❤ More pls🇵🇭👏👍💖💖💖🔥

🤍🤍🤍.

Yeah sure very excited. Wanna see you make more videos about Filipinos in k-pop industry, as an international k-pop fan, Filipinos in k-pop is new to me. So I am intrigued

Im proud of them, im filipino but i don't believe its because they are Filipino they are humans with talent as well as people in different countries.

@@Whatcountryisths Iwasan mo na lang ikumpara sila sa SB19 since magkaiba naman sila ng target demographic. I love SB19 mapapahamak pa kaming A'tin sa ganyang statements eh.

​@@WhatcountryisthsSB19 who? 😅😅😅

SB19 is PPOP and UNIS is GLOBAL POP GROUP , and I loved both Groups

​@@Whatcountryisths stop comparing sb19 to other groups at sabihin na "suportahan ang sariling atin" dahil we have our own preferences, kung mas gusto mo sa group na to then go, ang immature mo naman TT

😅😂

Yup, they just want to trigger pinoys by copying us about "pinoy pride" thing 😅😂

@@DM-bs2oz yes, because even tho I'm a filo myself, I wouldn't deny that some (or maybe most) of them are really just overproud. It's kinda annoying and embarrassing tbh.

@@mysay5959 what's annoying and embarrassing is calling Filipinos "filo"

@@kpopggfan2524 oops, someone's triggered. What's wrong with using "filo"? It's a modern term and I prefer using it. You're being OA.

@@user-oh5ez8rx5t hindi lang naman si Vanesya ang SEAn sa contest. Vu Lihn Dan, Riel and another Pinay Aya Natsumi. magagaling din silang tatlo. Kaya nga nung naelimunate sina Aya at Riel sa iisang episode is maraming nagtaka at nagduda kasi sila naalis tapos si Sua ang safe.

​@@user-oh5ez8rx5t magaling? 😂 sa pagkakaalam ko VOTES lang nagpapapanalo sa kanila eh

@@ilyrics2775 kaya nga maraming bumoto kasi magagaling sila eh.

@@ilyrics2775 lol di ka ata nag watch ng universe ticket patawa ka sa last na sila na save dahil yng ibang judge may favorite na sila pero sa simula ng show talent talaga ang target ng judges

@@chelove5304 huh??? kaya maraming bumoto kasi hype na hype kayong mga PEENOISE 😂😂

and dont forget they r great singers also!

Agree

Naturally beautiful and also naturally ugly. Dont talk like all girls in Philippines are beautiful. There are probably 99 uglies per 1 beauty. Foreigners will come and get disappointed if you keep exaggerating about Filipina beauty. To compare, in Korea, Japan, the UK, Germany, Poland, Austria and the Czech Republic, there is only 1 ugly per 99 beauty. So I think Philippines has more ugly girls than beautiful girls

Don't hide yourself haha

Weeh

​​@@tweetydayes mga racist ang mga Korean dahil sa kulay ng balat ng mga nasa South East Asia

its all good,, korea loves them all the same...

She represents the many Kor-Phil families in South Korea.

100% Agree with you. IMO most of the time it’s the parents’ fault. My 30s housemate who’s Vietnamese American went to Vietnam to learn his roots bec he had an identity crisis living in America trying so hard to fit in and his parents did the same. When the society rejects ur culture u usually try to adapt hence u focus on fitting in. I can’t blame her. People should not judge so hard on mixed people. They just try to survive and if we look back on some issues how Koreans actually discriminate Filipinos/SEA people we should understand why it took her long to accept her identity. Let’s encourage her to embrace her roots, for sure many can actually relate to her and maybe in the future it won’t be so hard for the mixed babies.

@@yumeesc Well said! I'm sure Hyeonju's mom is happy that Hyeonju got this opportunity to embrace her other culture, as she seemed to have involved Hyeonju in various Filipino activities/festivities when she was much younger. But as an idol who had to move to Seoul at a young age to pursue her dreams (far away from her family on the opposite side of South Korea), the chances to visit the Philippines stopped short. And as a public figure, she must have been cautious about what to reveal about herself.

lmaooo

help😂😭

Ahaha loko loko😂

Nice one 😂

HAHAHAAHHA

You have to keep in mind that one thing that increased the shock factor in this video is that I never told them anything about the girls’ origins before the reveal towards the middle of the video. However there is also a reason why they see us that way. I lived abroad most of my life (In the Middle East, and USA specifically), and I have been to Korea as well. To tell you the truth, we Filipinos (Specifically OFWs) do have a certain look. It’s not like these stereotypes didn’t exist for a reason. In fact Filipino-Americans seem to be pushing this narrative of what a stereotypical Filipino looks like as well. So I really I have a feeling that it has to do with what a majority of Filipinos look like at a specific place. In the Philippines, we are bombarded by (1) halfies and mixed-raced Filipinos on media (Specifically mestizos/mestizas), and it is very common to find (2) Filipino-Chinese people (Chinitos/Chinitas) here as well which is why it’s easier for us to know how diverse we are. But to tell you the truth, it is more common to see brown-skinned Filipinos abroad. If you don’t fit this, it’s very common to hear “you don’t look Filipino” anywhere in the world. There’s a socio-economic reason for this and I wouldn’t get too deep into it. But just know that there’s a reason why we do videos like this on my channel. It’s to introduce people to our culture, and (like we did through this video) break stereotypes ☺️🫶🏼 As always, spread the love and God bless! -EL 💜

koreans actually have p diverse looks but the people they deem good looking are much fewer than what's normal because of absurd beauty standards. you would find a person that should be considered very pretty elsewhere but koreans won't look that person's way for some reason.

@@elsplanet Even discounting the actual halfies/Wasians/Chinoys, I think we're pretty diverse. Elisia and Gehlee are proof of this. In before someone says "but they are outliers!", I do not think Gehlee has an outlier look at all. I think you would not be hard pressed to find someone who looks like her in a common high school setting. I honestly think most Filipinos look mixed and ambiguous which is why thinking we all look like, say, Melai Cantiveros is just an insular approach. Maybe some people will disagree and that's okay.

​@@qwertyboo lol theres no such thing as "pure pinoy" anymore, if ever there are still left, theyre all living far from civilization in peace 😅😅😅

That's why it's so funny when foreigners say, "They don't look like Filipinos". Well, what does a Filipino look like anyway 😭 There's no "one" specific Filipino look. People in the Philippines have a wide range of looks. It's not homogenous like Korea. There's a reason why there's 3 beauty standards in the Philippines: Moreno (tan/brown skin), Chinito (East Asian features) and Mestizo (Caucasian features).

We love you Gehlee Africana! 😌

I read a comment that says she represents the Moroccan argentinian korean decent too. 😂 I'm just happy that a lot of people loves her.

@@clownman9404i think that maybe it’s because there will be someone in kpop that will represent people who are not light or fair skinned. Well…there are a few darker skinned non koreans in kpop but seeing another addition in kpop that breaks the korean beauty standard of whiter skin tells kpop fans that there is progress.😄

Shes a pure Filipina though. No mixed blood

​@@raechellesy8065she isnt even brown

I agree

Please don't claim OUR Unis girls. They're Filipino and as far as I know Davao is no longer part of the Philippines.

@@soularestupid comment

@soulare wtf 🤣🤣🤣

Hyeonju's mom is supposedly from davao

@@soulare what

Amen!!!!! We have something to be proud of...as long as we don't start fetching complements in places where we don't have to comment like say comparing them to other idols because it becomes toxic

@@oneoftherandompersoninYTyess there’s really no reason to compare when they can all flourish in the same industry

Justifying Kayabangan = super wrong. Embarrassing! Hoy poor country ang Pilipinas at hindi 1st world o rich country

@@bokchoy9632there’s a difference between kayabangan and being proud lng po. Comments like this is what makes most ppl want to prove such comments wrong. I can’t believe as a fellow pinoy, you would say rude things about the very place you live in. You definitely made a contribution to why Philippines is seen as poor if that’s what you want to hear. The economy may not be the best out of other countries but it doesn’t mean it’s worse in other categories. Kayanga laging mention ng mga pinoy na proud sila sa country when other fellow pinoys have made big contributions. No hate but please be mindful of what you say too. Arrogance is not the same as being proud. Thanks for your comment.

@@sun00305 sige try mo sa real life sabihin ang proud pinoy sa mga foreigner sa mukha nila.

Yeah, that's interesting since the Unicorns from Universe ticket also focused on Gehlee's dance. and a lot of filipinos were annoyed

She represents Korea yes but she has Korean and Filipino blood

​​@@Azriel47She can't even speak Tagalog. She doesn't even know Filipino culture.

Thats why i only consider eli and gehlee the filipina line...hyeonju dont seem to care representing her filo side 😅😅😅

imo it's the perfect time for Hyeonju to rediscover more of her Filipino side, esp if UNIS promotes in the Philippines. It took her courage to even admit she is half-filipino, which is not surprising with how some her Korean fans reacted negatively against rumors that she was half-filipino earlier on.

Technically she is half Korean and half Filipino

lol

cringe ah. overproud nmn masyado

@@pepperflu742 I do not understand what you're saying, I'm really not Filipina although I wish I was as talented lol

​@@lemonjuice6715 I think s/he mistaken you as Filipino. Because there were many Filipinos that overprouds in Filipino youtube videos

​@@pepperflu742whats wrong being overly proud. Those colonizers from hundred of years prevent us from being human😊

Honestly, it's just covert prejudice. Why are we being so nice about this huhuhuhuhu
