You will always be Korean. You have no foreign ancestry, no foreign citizenship, and no skills that would make any other country want you. You are a self-hating Korean twisted by delusions of mythical foreign superiority and exposure to foreign media into a pitiful parody of what you think “better” looks like.
All the ‘validation’ you get from others in the same position only reinforces your delusion that wasting years of your life learning a language you barely speak was somehow worth it. It wasn’t. You’ve thrown away your youth chasing an identity you will never have, and you are too delusional to see it.
Actual Koreans can spot your fraud instantly. Thousands of years of cultural and linguistic instinct make it obvious from your mannerisms, your vocabulary, and the awkward way you speak. Even if your cringe attempts at self-reinvention online somehow pass for “normal” (they won’t), any Korean will drop you the second they hear your voice, the voice of someone with nothing impressive to show in skills, accomplishments, or personality.
You will never be content. You put on a fake smile and convince yourself that watching content you barely understand is “better” than engaging with your own people. But deep down, you feel that creeping, suffocating shame, the kind that reminds you that you’ve simply found a new way to be ignored, and that even the novelty of being “different” won’t save you from how unremarkable you really are.
Eventually it’ll be too much to bear, you'll buy some soju, drink it all night long with your friends, and plunge into the cold abyss. Your parents will find you heartbroken but relieved that they no longer have to live with the unbearable shame & disappointment. They’ll bury you with a headstone marked with your birth name & every passerby for the rest of eternity will know a Korean man is buried there
