Wonder Girls member Lim often gets mistaken for being Chinese

Posted by leesa8622 pts Tuesday, November 22, 2011

On the November 22nd episode of SBS 'Strong Heart', Wonder Girls member Hye-Rim (Lim) admitted, "A lot of people mistake me for being Chinese". She continued, "When I first joined Wonder Girls, the media reported that a Chinese member had joined the group. But both my parents are Korean and I was born in Seoul". She then went on to share a story of how the misunderstanding had inconvenienced her in the past. "Whenever I fly, the authorities never believe that I am Korean. I always have to show proof by presenting my passport", she said evoking laugher. The fellow guests on the show suggested it may be due to her Korean pronunciation which has a slight accent and is a little inaccurate. "It's because I grew up in Hong Kong and lived there for 14 years", she revealed, and went on to display her fluent Chinese and English. Source & Image: AsiaToday via Nate
