Four Year-Old Confused by Blonde Koreans

Pak Eun-Jung, a four-year-old from northern Seoul, is terribly confused by the large numbers of Koreans with dyed blonde and light brown hair. Like most little Koreans, Eun-Jung takes pleasure in pointing out all of the foreigners she encounters. Everytime she sees one, she screams, "way-guk-in-da!!" (Foreigner in Korean)

However, lately she's been screaming "Foreigner!!" to countless blonde and light brown haired Koreans. Her mother, at first found it amusing, but now she is increasingly embarassed by her daughter's racial confusion. She explained to Eun-Jung that they are Koreans with different hair colors. Eun-Jung still doesn't understand this concept and insists that bleach blonde Koreans are "foreigners".
