Hey guys, it's Kim Dao here welcome back to my channel. You may see that the background is different and yes
I've moved into my apartment. We just moved in so we are still setting up the apartment
There's still stuff everywhere so this is just my temporary filming setup. It's still stuff everywhere, so this is my temporary filming setup
Hope it will all be done, so see you guys might get an apartment tour coming up. Anyway today's video
I'm going to be trying out something very interesting
I am going to be finding out what my actual ethnicity is and how my DNA affects
I guess my lifestyle since I've started YouTube, the question I get asked the most is
What ethnicity are you and even though
I've said it so many times people still I guess get the wrong idea and they tell people that I'm actually Japanese
I'm actually Korean whenever I get asked this question I always respond with Vietnamese because to me it makes sense my
Parents, my grandparents are Vietnamese, so I just tell them that I am Vietnamese
But I get a lot of people telling me that I'm not actually Vietnamese. I'm actually Korean or Japanese and I'm like
Okay, now. I know my ethnicity
Is quite confusing because my channel I base it around Japanese makeup and skincare traveling in Japan and Korea
I speak Japanese I lived in Japan so you know I understand it does get confusing most of my family live in Denmark so
Yeah, I thought today once and for all I'm going to be telling you guys where I'm actually from by doing a DNA
Test. So in today's video,
I'm going to be doing a test to see where my ancestors are
actually from and I'm going to be doing this with the help of
23andme so the name 23andme comes from the fact that the human DNA has
23 pairs of chromosomes and from the tests that you take you might find some information
On where your ancestors are from and also how your DNA
Influences your lifestyle for example how you sleep, taste buds, your facial features, just to name a few. Anyway,
I never really looked into my family tree at all when people ask me what my ethnicity is I always responded with Vietnamese because
That's the answer that makes the most sense to me, but I always knew that there's probably like other
Ethnicities that I'm mixed with which I don't really know about. So let's get started and find out what I actually am.
First off, you need to order your 23andme kits, which I have right here
And then you need to follow the instructions inside. Then your sample and also register your sample, set it off
and it will be analyzed. So let's just open up and try it out today first.
I'm going to register my sample kit that I have to go to
23andme.com/start
and then you have to register your details here to sign up for us
So I'm gonna do that now. Now that I've registered, I have to verify my email.
So I have received email right it's in the quick verify email alright
So then you get sent to this page where you need to find your barcode.
This is a package when you open it up, so you've got this and your barcode is just on here.
So I'm gonna register that now. Alright, that's all done now, registered.
I need to spit inside this test tube. So for your results to be more accurate,
don't eat and drink for at least 30 minutes.
I had a snack about an hour ago, so it should be okay now.
So I need to spit until I get to the line right here,
and then this part here should fill up. Then you have to close this and you remove this and then close it with this.
Got it. Let's do this.
Ew.
May be a little bit more. Alright,
there we go. Alright got that I don't know if you guys want to see close up of my spit
That's kind of gross. Then now let's close this part. So this part is meant to pierce through...
Yep going through it's going through can you see it? Going down? Oh got it!
Okay
Ooh it's mixing. Can you see that? Oh, that's kind of gross. And then you want to put this inside the bag.
Let's put that in there, so now we're gonna seal the bag which is
Taking off this blue stuff right here. So I've done all I can now,
I just have to wait six to eight weeks for my results that I will see you guys when I get them
Hey guys, so it's been about six weeks since I last filmed the part where I gave my sample to 23andme.
I just received an email that my test results are ready, so I'm really excited to find out what I actually really am so
Before I look at the results. I have a feeling that I'm going to be 100% Vietnamese
I do believe I do have a bit of Chinese in me,
I don't know how much.
So, let's just get straight onto it and have a look at the results. From the results that yes,
I am 100 percent Asian, which is already given. I already knew that, but uh yeah, I am
76.8%
Vietnamese, Southeast Asian, actually it might not even be fully Vietnamese. Um they didn't tell me exactly and East Asian
22.8%
probably Chinese, okay, so
Now you can go back to I guess your physical traits, and let's have a look. Likely to sneeze after eating dark chocolate...
I don't eat dark chocolate,
I don't really like it, but I don't recall sneezing after eating dark chocolate before this so, that might be true.
Less back hair. I guess I don't really have that much back hair so that's true
Let's have a look at my DNA family. Okay, so this tells me are where my other relatives are who have also taken this test
337 DNA relatives in my 23andme DNA family so that's really interesting.
So I don't have any close family like close family or second cousins,
but I do have third to fourth cousins or fifth to distant cousins, um
294 of them, so I can actually see the world map, and it seems like all of them live in the u.s.
So let's look at the US map
55 live in California, 5-10 in Texas, 5-10 in Virginia
5-10 in New York and then and
ancestry of your DNA relatives so
Actually most of them are Chinese, so 185 of them are Chinese,
140 are Southeast Asians, 20% is Korean, okay, so comparing me and my DNA relatives
105 percent more likely
to be able to do the side
splits. I used to be able to do the splits when I was like very young, not anymore though.
75% more likely to make new year's resolutions,
not sure about that because I do make new year's resolutions, but they last for about a week
and I'll forget about them, 70% more likely to be able to do a cartwheel.
I guess when I was young I used to be able to not anymore...
68% less likely to have lived near a farm when they were young
Yeah, never lived near a farm. 60% more likely to have perfect pitch... alright.
Well, there's more. 46% more likely to have learned a foreign language as an adult? Yep? I um
learnt Japanese when I was already an adult. 38% less likely to drink caffeinated soda.
I don't like drinking soda. 34% less likely
to be able to wiggle their ears, I cannot do it at all.
33% more likely to like the taste of fresh cilantro. I
don't like it. 29% less likely to own a cat. Yeah. I don't think I can ever get a cat. I prefer dogs
I'm a dog person. 29% less likely to sweat while sleeping.
I don't think I sweat that much at all and yeah
I don't really sweat while sleeping at all. 25% more likely to be able to curl their tongue
No, I can't do it. 22% less likely to own a dog, now that's interesting because I do own dogs,
I like dogs. 20% more likely to be able to wiggle their nose... I
can't do it. 19% less likely to have sweaty feet.
Yeah, I don't think my feet gets sweaty that easily. 18% more likely to be able to whistle I
Can't whistle...
17% more likely to like the taste of fresh cucumber. Now, this is funny because I don't like cucumbers.
I don't like bean sprouts or cucumber because they just taste like crunchy water to me.
14% less likely to like the taste of dark licorice. Yes true because I don't like dark liquorice. 13% percent more likely to exercise
at light to moderate intensity. Yeah, I guess I would be pretty light when I exercise. A lot of information about me
I just found out about. That's very, very interesting stuff. I've got a lot of I guess," relatives" in the US.
That's really interesting stuff that I didn't know before finding out a few more things about me
and I guess my ancestry line. Yeah, it really helps me uh I guess connect more with
who I am and
where I come from. Anyway guys, that's it for this video. Hopefully you guys enjoyed it and learnt a bit more about me.
I learned a lot about myself through the 23andme test results so that was really cool.
Make sure you check out their website down below and also remember that they do have a family discount for
Thanksgiving so check that out, and yeah
I do plan to upload a lot more videos more frequently from now on, so hope you guys stay tuned on this channel and look
forward to those videos and also let me know down below what videos you want me to make in the future because I'm going to
