I hate Korean beauty standards

I think the one thing that pisses me off the most about the Korean culture is the beauty standards. It's the most superficial I've ever heard!

1. Who says skinny is better? Yeah, it looks nice, but you know what also looks nice? BIG BOOTY AND CURVEY WOMEN. HELLO, BEYONCE?. You know, it would be one thing if they just liked how it looked and kept their opinions to themselves, but you always here idols being like, "I had to diet and lose some weight".  Lose some weight? WHERE?! IN YOUR TOES? & I know GG considers Tiffany the "fattest" member just because she weights like... what? a pound heavier? GOD FORBID SOMEONE BE LIKE 87 POUNDS BECAUSE YOURE A PIG.

This is why I absolutely love ....... Aw why cant I remember her name..... When I think of her, I think of Huh Gak... she was on roommate with Jackson. I love her because she loves herself and doesnt plan on changing for anyone. 

 

2. Skin color. Why is white better? IM ING WHITE AND I WANT A TAN. I'm not sure if the whole, "If you're white then that means you didn't have to work in the fields because you were rich" Im not sure if that statement applies to Korea too because I know thats how it was for China and Vietnam (Speculations I heard from my Asian friends). 

And I hate that they make idols who are darker wear a whiter foundation. LIKE STOP COVERING UP KAI'S, HYORINS, AND N'S MELANIN SKIN COLOR. DARK IS BEAUTIFUL TOO. Taemin even said, "Kais skin is his biggest downfall" DOWNFALL? THATS HIS STRENGTH.

I RATHER DATE SOMEONE WHO LOOKS HEALTHY THAN SOMEONE WHO IS SO WHITE THAT THEY LOOK INTERNALLY SICK. 

 

 

I guess this whole thing just pissed me off because of an article AKP posted about someone telling Jackson he was a 'Blanca' which I guess is a derog. term in Korean for like SE Asians who had to migrate to work. 

1. you to whoever entertainer said that

2. What a bigot thing to say. Honestly, the imigrates who ing come to whatever country to provide a better life for their family are some of the most humble and hardworking people ever. KOREA, THIS IS WHY ALL THE FOREIGN IDOL'S ARE LEAVING! QUIT THIS .

3. you to the idols who laughed. I see you Hyunsik from BTOB. Peniel, you slightly laughed- You know better. Unless you didn't understand but still KNOCK IT OFF. STOP CONDONING THIS BEHAVIOR. This is why I respect Kai a lot because although people bash him for his skin color, he still sticks up for other people. I remember an entertainer telling a fan to lose some weight and Kai told him to stop.

 

These things are the biggest ing turn off when it comes to Korea. It's almost 2016, some things need to start changing.

Well it's not just Korea, a lot of Asian countries are like that and some black people are kinda like that too. For example, Filipinos also wanna have lighter skin color. It's not the concept of being white, it's having fair skin. Sure it pisses me off whenever people make fun of Jongin and Rap Mon's skin color, but it's in their culture (Sorta). Same goes for other countries. It's not everybody who thinks of those beauty standards (I mean yeah everybody kinda has the same idea of their ideal person, well except the younger generation is more accepting. Ex: Fair skin, innocent, short, pretty eyes, long brown/black hair, etc.) In ChoNunMingookSaram's Korean's react to, a lot of the guys, even the girls, favored tan skin for some cases (Others the just looked orange to me xD) and they totally liked the women with curves.

But in other cases, yeah it . I mean I've lived with that my whole life. Asian parents are blunt, head on, rough, straightfoward, and savage as hell xD

agree. Totally agree. As far as i'm concerned the white skin thing was also applied in european countries (in the '800).
