Korean faces everywhere... Many Koreans only seems to know Korean, som Koreans speak English but doesn't know Korean. 'Cos they're ibyangs. Some Koreans grow up in America, others are raised in Europe. They might know English while their mother tongue could be German, Dutch, French or maybe Scandinavian ( Danish, Norwegian or Swedish)... But many of them still don't know Korean because they're ibyangs.
For a Korean ibyang it generally means that you'll have to study Korean as a teen or young adult if you want to learn it again for whatever reason.. Koreans seems to assume that you naturally know Korean because you have that Korean face, if you don't then you're a foreigner and a Japanese citizen. Ibyangs that don't know Korean might be mistaken for other Asian ethnicities.
