Netizens react to news of first female Korean-Nigerian model
While some applauded the young model, others had mixed feelings about her not identifying with her Nigerian side.
For starters, Yujin has no Nigerian name on her Instagram page, no photos of her dad - just a couple of photos with her mum - and has 'KR' in her bio, which is short for Korea.

"They don’t identify or want anything to do with the Nigerian blood, she has just Korean flag on her bio, we as Africans and Nigerians need to stop embracing people who do not embrace us (their heritage)."
phat_dhee:
"Nigerians! Best in leaving our country to go and dominate elsewhere Go Nigeria!!!"
oi_eerised:
"It seems that bi-racial children in Korea (especially those of African decent) don’t tend to have an African name and only have a Korean one. I’m not sure if this is because their mother’s are Korean and they want to pass on a Korean name but also, they seem to have no real connection with their non-Korean heritage."
djen_diabate:
"She's not black .Korea's first mulatto model. It's not difficult to see so why does it have to be controversial in the speech. She is mixed race and that's perfectly fine."
peris.kagiri:
"She's not the first black female model She's the first Black/Korean female model. Let's just not erase the fact that there have been black female models () in Korea before she made her debut."
drealmampari:
"Nice but absolutely no Nigerian name… even the male model.I wonder why?"
thaisugar85:
"It calls biracial, she is mixed. Why she can’t be both Korean and Nigerian?"
"lx.kitty.xl:
She's not black she's biracial. Making her not the first black Korean model, furthermore she doesn't embrace her Nigerian side at all. This post is extremely misleading. If you're black/Nigerian and you choose to still support her that's completely your business, but as for me I can't support someone who'd never support me. She gives off I'm-only-black-until-i-no-longer-need-black-support vibes. And I'm not here for it."
