You'd exist largely outside of the neo confucianist status structure. You'd be a foreigner in a way that is hard to understand if you've spent all your life in the heterogeneous melting pots.

I'm many cases this would apply even if you are Korean but grew up outside the hierarchy (i.e. grew up in the US)

You'd have some status as a us citizen as a white person, but it's complicated and a double edged sword
