From early on I suspected that C was Japanese but the one thing that confirmed it for me was that she put her palms together before eating, like in a brief prayer. Japanese do that, like giving thanks for the food.

[@shastasilverchairsg]

I guess it from her sitting style. Only Japanese do seiza.

[@justpassingby3409]

Where are these videos recorded?

[@naohnn7360]

I could find that C is Japanese before C started eating noodle. She put her hands together before eating , and maybe said, “itadakimasu.”(いただきます)🙏 It's a word WE say when starting breakfast, lunch and dinner due to thank everything which gave us their life and gifts from the lands. (We aren't often join a religion, so we don't have a particular religious pray style....)

[@Pikachu-ez1rm]

That's how I identified her. Itadakimasu!!

[@stnhndg]

You would be surprised how many countries have that tradition )

itadakimas is actually simple buddhist prayer.

[@user-eg5bv5gd6x]

[@Izzylol97caz]

hi Illa I am your fan from Australia :D

[@warrenl4196]

It's definately possible to guess their nationality just from their appearance. At my first glance, just from A's makeup, I was like she 100% has to be Korean. As a Chinese male who don't much about makeup, I don't know how to describe, but there certainly is a discernable difference. C's clothing appears to be more on the Japanese side, which made me think she's Japanese. B and C's makeup both look kind of Chinese to me, and the clothing style of both A and B could be Chinese.

[@chocomint8261]

C's makeup looks so Japanese no? as an HKer A and C basically look exactly like the stereotypes I would think of from their countries

[@theonk3361]

A has small eyes, Korean. B has bright eyeshadow and red lipstick, typical tik-tok make up. Japanese just by elimination

[@when_life_gives_you_limes]

A has very distinct Korean facial features (& together with the make-up style), which made me guessed she's Korean too.

[@Fartsquad_]

🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️

[@clorozweepvmundosalazar5153]

A lot of Koreans and Japanese have smaller eyes but high key their faces look more harmonious than other Asians. I think their features fit the golden ratio more, and their side profiles look good.

Actually the reading part was different. For the Korean person, they held the book at the bottom of the spine and the other hand to flip the pages ,while for China, you hold the book on the opposite sides and slightly move the thumb to let the pages flip

[@dragnridr05]

Uka reading was the dead giveaway for Japanese. Sumen's Korean giveaway was how she ate her noodles. Nikki really didn't have much tells since her styles matched both Korean and Japanese. So it was by process of elimination that I guessed Nikki was Chinese.

[@brendonfleetwood6069]

If there is one thing I've learnt from this it's that watching someone eat noodles makes me hungry for noodles

I can tell just by their first gestures. And if I trust myself at the start by their makeup, I'd too right as well.

I could tell a bit about their appearance but wasn't sure haha. I got it when the Japanese girl put her hands together before eating.

[@MrYou-wf1df]

You can't judge by looks Ripped eyes, big eyes, and small eyes exist in all three countries and each person is different. Japan and China do a lot of eye augmentation surgery, and Korea does a lot of double eyelid surgery. You can't tell the three countries apart by their average appearance

[@Hoo88846]

Ok, at 4:10, I can already tell by the way they eat their noodles. A is Korean because she uses the spoon. B is Chinese because Chinese also pick up their bowls as a polite way to eat. I am trained in China by my parents to eat with bowls in my hands or it won’t be polite. So C is Japanese by the way she would say “itadakimasu” with her hands.

[@aviannac8452]

In another video she mentions that her boyfriend is Korean and she has lived in Korea for 4 1/2 years. I imagine she and her boyfriend use English and Korean interchangeably. Im definitely envious of how well she speaks it, I've been trying to learn Korean myself and just cant seem to get it down lol

I feel like I remember something with the way Japanese eat their noodles, they try not to "cut off" the noodle? So like, they try to keep the entire length of the noodle intact because it represents having a long life? I don't know if I'm remembering totally wrong or if what I heard is even accurate, but to me that was a difference I saw between how B and C were eating. B bit off the noodles at a certain point, whereas C used her chopsticks to gather up the whole noodle. Does anyone know if this is correct or maybe is it old fashioned or something? Idk.
