Are Koreans taller than Westerners?
sonwitch106 asked:
I was watching this TV documentary/reality show called Fight Quest about two Americans who go to South Korean to train in martial arts. I noticed most of the Korean men were taller and larger frame than the two men. The women on the street were either taller or the same height as the two men. Are Koreans that tall? Is it because they are part Mongolian who have tall genes in them?

Korean-American men are shorter than Koreans who grew up in Korea.
But it all depends.
Koreans have mongol bloods, and actually are the biggest Asian race.
I was 6 feet 170 IB in my freshman year played football QB
my friend was 6′4” freshamn year 184 lb.
but there are short people too of course
The teenagers seem to be growing much taller than the previous generations.
Most Asians are still shorter than Westerners but not all.
I have had many very tall Korean friends my male friend was 6 foot 7 inches tall….
no. i don’t think so. THere of course is a majority of koreans that are tall. So you proably just saw a small portion. there are of course short koreans.

Nah, those guys are REALLY short haha. That show is pretty interesting though.
Koreans in general in comparison to other asians, tend to have a more “american” build.
I noticed that many men were quite tall in Korea (but also some as short as me from time to time 5′6″) I thought korean women were all quite short.
