I can confirm Mongol ancestry (not that that stuff matters at this point)
Yea I'm not even Korean-Korean and have run into Koreans in the most random of places and instant bond
Yea here are probably your two biggest problems (truth):
1) Not Korean. Saw you said you were Singaporean/Japanese - if by Singaporean you mean Chinese, that's bad (low value); Japanese = bad (Koreans raised to hate Japanese because of colonialism)
2) Not tall. I think I saw you post you were 174cm somewhere
- If you aren't 180cm+ (5'11"+) you are a loser - kind of an extreme example but this was a huge deal (2009)
- Obviously you have a chance if you aren't tall (I'm barely taller than you but also am Korean/speak Korean pretty well/have a good face/above average body/above average style/the best game - aka smashing sloots not getting numbers, etc - out of anyone i know minus like 1-2 people) but height is a very real concern of most people in Korea (even though apparently only ~10% of guys are 180+ according to 2015 military draft statistics). Being short will just make things harder. Most girls and guys wear height-increasing shoes or height insoles in their shoes to make themselves look taller. Would even say height is probably a top 10 topic of conversation. A lot of people (guys and girls) ask me my height when I meet them
~Just telling it like it is~
Until I see/experience otherwise, these are the facts on the ground. No amount of game/PUA koolaid is gonna have you pulling Gangnam dimeys off the arms of 190cm+ native players (who probably also got $ and/or status/fame)
And true. I can never look at Korean-Americans the same way after living here. As with probably all countries, gotta go to the source
Saying it like it is. I like that and appreciate that. I know how height is super important in Korea, I can't believe how many conversations I've had with Koreans about height. It's really no joke. I have experienced the difficulty gaming in Korea but I have unfortunately developed a liking for Korean girls. You could say I appreciate the challenge

With that said, I have had some success in Korea and wasn't exactly a complete drought. Of course, it has been much easier gaming Koreans overseas. The racism thing against Chinese/Japanese... it's important for game but doesn't really affect me personally. In order to maximize lays, it's always been easier for me to just pass myself off as Korean/half Korean. If being hanguksaram gets me the hangukyeoja, then so be it
