I’m a quarter Korean, actually. My grandma is Korean and we have Korean family… one of my favorite Korean dishes [is] Dduk Guk (떡국)… My grandma cooks a lot of Korean dishes.
He has also said:
May is Asian Heritage Month and I’m proud to celebrate the diversity of our community… I’m a quarter Korean and it’s a huge part of who I am. Excited to see the change and representation of more minorities on screen because this is what the country really looks like.

Add Irish to ethnicity.
It never crossed my mind that this guy has some Korean admixture. Looks generic white American.
1/4 asian and still whiter than iberians. you will NEVER see an iberian as white as jaeden. iberians are off white.
What a weird comment. “Off white” is only a thing if you believe that all whites are literally white.
People are so stupid.
Iberians are White. They can also be very fair skinned without having a high mixture with English people. Jaeden looks White because of the high European background.

Jaime Olías, Spanish actor, literally whiter than Jaeden, by your flawed standards of whiteness anyways

Jan Cornet, another Spanish actor who’s literally whiter than Jaeden lmao
I could be here all day posting Iberians who are equally as “white” or whiter than Jaeden, but it’s kinda pointless, nordc*ck grifters are always gonna grief
:^D
Don’t show the few rare light Spaniards and Portuguese to try desperately to prove they’re Nordic absolutely they’re not the huge average white Spaniards and Portuguese are brown-black haired and eyed, these ones don’t look typical Berids they have for sure ancient foreigner roots, jaime olias despite his light colors has very thick araboid features he’s ethnic looks the typcal “white” murican totally different to we white Europeans the only real whites.
Unlike you I’m a real Euro from Europe I meet lots of Spaniards tourists and they’re always dark haired and dark eyed cause the — truth for them and for you Hispanics wanna be white Europeans is they’re dark we can’t say they’re like b——s, Irish, Germans, Scandinavians.
Unfortunately for you a dark mixed Hispanic from Central-South America of huge racial and cultural inferiority complex your Spaniards and Portuguese who you’re related to are 95% dark haired and dark eyed.
It is still unverified as to whether he has any biological Korean ancestry.
He said he’s a quarter Korean…therefore he is. Just because someone looks “white” doesn’t mean they’re full white. Same thing goes for black, Hispanic, and whatever else someone is. Don’t be a jerk.
Hispanic is not a race.
Lieberher’s IMDB page used to say that his mother is of half Korean descent. That isn’t accurate, is it?
Her instagram:

She describes herself as Korean.
Where?

Thank you.
This is very confusing, genealogically speaking. Any ideas?
I’ll check it out later. It’s possible one of those people is a step-parent.
I think so. These are Thomas and Lisa.

I can’t access his obituary. Does it say anything specific about Jaeden’s mother?
You can view it here.

She might be his daughter, but not Lois’.
Yes, I think I’ve figured it out.
South Korean or North Korean?
