Seventeen-year-old Joyce Chu has gained swift YouTube celebrity for her (admittedly) catchy tune “Malaysia Chabo”, wherein she gleefully declares to all that she’s a “true Malaysian girl”, and kindly asks folks to “Please stop saying I’m from Korea.”
Chu interpreted the song “Malaysian Chabor” (Chabor means “woman” in the Hokkien dialect”) in an auto-tuned effort to gently explain that she hails from Johor Bahru in southern Malaysia, not South Korea, seemingly after some confusion over the matter left her disgruntled.
The opposite of this guy’s problem.
