OH my…you are going to be mad at me since I did make some guesses but I know I would be 100% wrong! Can I just admit I seriously don’t have a clue and want to save face?

You know I am a classical music buff and I always play a game with myself (and sometimes my mother) to categorize the music as: Baroque, Classical, Romantic, or Modern and then to further guess who the composer is. I normally get the time period right and sometimes even the composer but with this test….well all I can say is you have me beat!

I’m going to be fail horribly at this but here we go…

men (left to right)
Korean, Chinese, Japanese
women (left to right)
Chinese, Korean, Japanese

I look forward to your next post

la diferencia entre chinos japoneses y coreanos
yo puedo decir mas o menos, se encuentra a
simple vista en los ojos y el pelo, los chinos
tienen los ojos mas pequenos y estirados y la
inmensa mayoria deja caer su pelo naturalmente
y casi siempre es mas largo y sin tintes, tambien son
fisicamente mas delgados que los otros pero los
coreanos y japoneses son mas occidentalizados
tambien en sus rasgos faciales y sobre todo los
japoneses mas norteamericanizados ya que se
identifican mucho con esta cultura, el pelo japones
casi siempre esta tintado de un color caoba y
lo estiran mucho hacia arriba, como autenticos
sayajin que son, y sus caras son mas variadas que
la de los coreanos o chinos. para mi es facil reconocer
japoneses de lejos ya que vivi mucho tiempo entre
ellos, por dato curioso les digo que mi esposa japonesa
decia que todos los latinos les parecian iguales, para
ella era dificil diferenciarnos.

little Tip:how to separate Chinese and Japanese and Korean from English pronunciation? Japanese and Korean can’t pronounce “R” they pronounce like “le”, Chinese can’t pronounce “th”,we pronounce like “ze”. that’s our obviously difference. would be easier recognize than our similar east-Asian face. but, how to separate Korean and Japanese? honestly, i always confuse as well.

women: Chinese, Japanese, Korean
Men: korean, chinese, Japanese
I can usualy tell korean and japanese men appart because of the eyebrows and eyes ( I have a majour thing for eyes and eyebrows)
the women are much easier..because not only is it the eyes and eyebrows but also the natural complexion.. korean women mostly look like angels and soooo adorable

Actually, when you will look out to their face, you i identify if who is the japanese, the chinese and who is the korean because of the differences of thier facial structure.

for men(left to right):japnasese,chinese, korean
for women(L to right)japanese, chinese, korean

I think I like the korean facial features most,

Women: Korean, Chinese, Japanese
men : Korean, Chinese, Japanese

There are big differences between the three that can “usually” help distinguish the difference. Japanese are usually easiest to tell apart, they usually have longer squintier eyes but yet a somewhat more western facial structure in the sense that their faces are more defined and dimensional high cheek bones, triangular, etc. Sometimes they will have taller noses. Japanese also are much more “stylish” and hollywood-like than any other Asians, so you will see some wild hairstyles anime-like sometimes and their dress is less business-like and more modern. Japanese have no problem tanning or letting their skin get dark whereas Chinese and Korean’s are much more worried about keeping their skin out of the sun but to protect it from rays and keep their white skin. Japanese also dye their hair often both guys and girls. Koreans are more of the opposite from Japanese in many ways, though they also have squinty eyes, (they are not long or wide, they are usually the smallest of all Asian eyes) they do not have much dimension to their facial structure. They usually have much more round flat faces and sometimes high cheek bones, usually little or no double eye lid (Japanese too), are usually quite pale and don’t often dye their hair. Koreans dress much more business-like and will wear collared shirts and suit jackets, slacks, nice jeans, fashionable business attire, but not very modern-hollywood-wild style. Many Korean girls cut their bangs (fringe) straight across and often pull their hair back or flip it in but hardly ever out. They wear big loop ear rings, baseball caps, lots of pink and pastel-bright colors and a lot of striped clothing. Most Korean men, wear a shaggy hair style that almost looks like Leggo hair. Chinese are somewhat of an in between in a few ways. Chinese facial structure varies as there are MANY different ethnic groups in China and it is so large and ancient, whereas the Korean and Japanese areas are much more dense and mostly of one origin or ethnicity. For the most part the Han Chinese (which makes up the majority of China) are a more rounded face with flatter wider noses and also much more round and less-squinty eyes. Many Chinese people have double eye lids and bigger eyes, though there are of course several with small eyes too. Chinese will sometimes dye their hair however they are much more conservative with styles. Chinese don’t usually have wild or crazy hairstyles, in fact for the most part they have more clean cut looks, but aren’t as into fashion, so they will wear jeans and flannel shirts and t-shirts and seem to be more moderate that way, but again it depends if it is in the city or country, western China or eastern China, north, south, etc. Taiwan is a blend of Chinese and Korean clothing style, which sometimes confuses people, but their facial features are very Chinese and not Korean. HongKongese tend to let themselves tan as well and have a more southern Asian look mixed with their Chinese look, they also dress very business-like, but with some wild-styles too and currently are very into black rimmed glasses.

Hope that helps. I have spent much time with all 3 of them for years and that is only a drop in the bucket as to their differences. It takes being around them a lot to notice, but I can tell them apart from a mile away unless they are American-born or mixed, which can sometimes throw things off.

The above example pictures are not the ideal for showing their major differences, but are still good examples of many Japanese, Chinese and Korean people out there.

My girlfriend is chinese and was raised in China. I asked her this question once and was surprised to know that even her or her family couldn’t tell the difference most of the time. Unless you have a name or you actually hear the individual talk, it’s quite hard to make the difference. Just like it’s hard to make the difference between Canadian, Australian or British just using a picture.
