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.

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....)

[@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.

[@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.

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.

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.
