Except that in 14 hours and 10 comments, there’s been no evidence provided she even claims a South Korean identity.
What does that mean? I think the point is she is racially Korean, aka Asian not white/Caucasian, given context to her being accused of being "anti-white".

edit: also see "It's not far off from Korean culture" https://twitter.com/sarahjeong/status/981575986322989056 which apparently she is qualified to judge.
