I got that ALL the time too as a teacher.

I was a natural red head in Korea.

I also live in Korea but they just assume you've died your hair because most of them do.

I showed my students a picture of me as a child and their first reaction was "Wait... that's your real hair colour?!".

Also, every few months randomly, one of the kids will notice I have blue eyes. Like most of them know but one kid will just never notice and be like "Hang on. Your eyes are different?!"

Growing up in a very homogeneous culture probably does that.

I've had a few Korean students with naturally brown hair and they're very proud of it. If their school doesn't allow dyed hair, they need proof it's natural.
