She looks so cute like a Korean baby! 
(Con bé này xinh giống Hàn Quốc nhể) 

Not only because of the details like mouth, nose, etc., but also the similarity in the skin tone. Koreans tend to have brighter skin.

Her name is Balqis Dina, an Indonesian, and we're at the same age.

Before we entered the chat, based on her darker skin color/race, I thought she would be rude and maybe not as good as me. BUT I WAS WRONG
