Someone who denounced their own race and calls themselves Korean, genuinely believes that they’re Korean or wishes they were Korean. Do everything a korean does, eat types of food they like. They may also think that they will some day marry their favourite idol (see also delulu) or may use small parts of Korean in their sentences without caring about learning the language. They could think that all Asians/Koreans are beautiful gods who are above the human race and usually think there’s only chinese japanese and korean but there’s more than that (see also yellow fever).

-is interested in Korean culture
-listens to Kpop music
-listens other Korean music genres
-watches Korean TV shows
-makes cringey jokes about Korean celebrities
-wants to live in Korea

Get the korea boo’ mug.A person who's obsessed with Koreans. They would only limit their dating options to Koreans ONLY. They would wear makeup to make themselves look Korean when they aren't (which is also Asian fishing). Some might even go as far as to marry a Korean man/women just to make a wasian baby. which is fetishization of wasian baby's which isn't ok. (mainly white people or dem Russians and Germans. Them mf's crazy for some Koreans.)
A Korea Boo is a person who's obsessed with Koreans.
-An example could be someone who'll only date Asian men/women because of a K-Drama they watched or because of KPOP.
-Another could be a person who visits Korea just so they can fall for a "oppar" like they seen in a K-Drama.

Get the Koreaboo mug.Koreaboo is someone who does not have korean genes, live in Korea, or in another way are korean, that does basically everything to be korean. A koreaboo often does a few, all, or more than the following:
1. Doing aegyo (Acting cute) randomly in situations that does not call for it. (If you do it sometimes you may not be a koreaboo, don't worry)
2. Mixing korean phrases with english, examples: Hey babe, you're my oppa. Noona, hi! Annyeonghaseyo guys. I SARANG HIM. Saranghae. Kkaepjjang! (If you say a few of these phrases you are not a koreaboo, just don't use them for everything, Thank me later.)
3. CRAVING a korean girlfriend/boyfriend. (You aren't a koreaboo if you happen to have a koren girl/boyfriend but if you will not tolerate dating someone who isn't korean, please stop.)
4. Trying to be korean; like, dressing in traditional korean clothing, doing your makeup to look more korean, etc. (Styles and such do not make you a koreaboo, but don't try to be what you aren't.)
IMPORTANT! IMPORTANT!
You are not a koreaboo if you are interested in korean culture, are learning the language, liking kpop and kdramas, and other stuff. But if your behavior is strange, please stop, because koreans may find it offensive, weird, or creepy when meeting or seeing a koreaboo because they are often fetishized.

Get the Koreaboo mug.Someone who is obsessed with Korean culture (not north, but south) and talks about them non-stop. Probably won't see them ever again, because while you are reading this, they have immigrated to Seoul.
