That's probably true to some extent. But that doesn't mean it wasn't genuine or real. I have found that I won't react with as much anger when others can see me as I would have if I were alone or only with a few people I know well. Almost every single time I think back on those moments, I am glad that others were around to make me more accountable. Because they were there, I thought a bit more about my initial reaction. That's almost always a good thing. It has definitely kept me from lashing out in anger and doing/saying something I would need to apologize for later. I'll give them the benefit of the doubt until I'm shown otherwise. They could have just sat there angry and quiet, saying very few words.

On the other hand, while I agree that standing out on it's own is relatively easy, standing out _and_ fitting into social groups is hard.

But if you stand out in the "wrong" way, you won't have any friends, and that's a tough thing to deal with. So it's all about figuring out the "right" way to stand out, and that's much harder than just copying trends and listening to some pop music.

Gracie seems lovely and I enjoyed this documentary. But the rational is very flawed. Here is a young woman who seems to feel that altering her body in many ways makes her feel more like herself. Plastic surgery is exactly the same. Just because it's less "original" doesn't mean it doesn't come from the same desire: to look and feel how one wants to. Tattoos, piercings, plastic surgery, etc, altering your body to fit your preferences is all the same.

@JbProxy001

3 жыл бұрын

But where is that desire coming from, for those who want to get plastic surgery in S. Korea? For the girl in the spa, her parents kept urging her to put on make up, and as stated, other parents gift plastic surgery- so is it then a personal preference or parental/societal pressure? While I don't disagree with your reasoning that this body alteration procedure doesn't have more intrinsic value than that body alteration procedure, I disagree that millions of S. Koreans are getting plastic surgery purely out of personal preference rather than because of a societal/social/peer pressure, i.e., brainwashing by media intended to fuel an industry.

You can tell she doesn't know why many South Koreans, especially the older ones, dislike tattoos. There's history there, and this documentary could have been good if it was touched on in the slightest. (For those of you that don't know, tattoos were forced upon Korean slaves, especially Korean women, during Imperial Japanese occupation of the country, which started in 1910 and didn't end until 1945.) Without this knowledge, it's easy to label South Korea as a hypocritcal nation that is okay with cosmetic surgery and not tattoos. This history is important, and often forgotten. In fact, a lot of Korean people are unaware of this - they just continue to perpetuate the stigma their parents and grandparents hold. I highly recommend reading "A Story of a Comfort Woman - Tattoo." It's deeply upsetting, but very informative.

I didn't get the impression the video was bringing heat to South Korea. I felt they were realistically showing the thoughts, feelings, and attitudes towards body modification on both side's of the spectrum. The reason there's a stigma is because of South Korea's past history involving comfort girl's as slaves and marking them with tattoos to show ownership. It's a disheartening part of their past unfortunately, but shouldn't dictate how people feel today as far as body art is concerned. Freedom of self-expression is a beautiful thing. On a lighter note, your you tube name. Is Jace your birth given name? I'm just curious. It's an unusual name and not one you hear often. The reason I ask is because I named my first born son Jace. I've only ever met another person named Jace when my son was in Jr. high school and we were both surprised. Regardless of what your true birth name is it was fun to see a name that means so much to me being utilised as a you tube name. Take care of you and yours always!

Freak show

Soulji is gonna get a good scolding from her parents after this blue eyed girl is gone. Her parents had to act like this because of the cameras pointed at them (most of our parents does this as they are not camera friendly). The dad is gonna blow up later. This is not a movie where one westerner comes to your house to convince, then you 'talk' it out and things get better. This doesn't happen with Asians. We have to lay our grounds, build up, layer it and gradually things will get adjusted. One talk doesn't change years of principles, mindset and traditions. The thing the westerners doesn't understand is that it's different being an Asian. You have a long chain of ancestries and traditions and culture that you need to carry and protect along with your personal views. Any stigma or rules takes time to get wiped off and so will the tattoo scene in Korea. But u cannot just push it right away and demand to be accepted because that will generate more hatred than acceptance. Just take yourself on their shoes, imagine yourself believing on a set of principles all through your life, the dark history of your ancestors, the pain they suffered, your respect towards their soul, you bringing up your child with all these values.. And suddenly your child brings someone else from a different culture to witness her confessions of doing something you were always against and taught her better. How would you feel? It takes time. (The child has done nothing wrong inking her body.. I just wanted to say, being a rebellion is not always the answer. She could have done it without the blue eyed girl or atleast let her parents know about her beforehand. I was very uncomfortable too because her parents were uncomfortable ).

OMGITSGB I think the only difference is that she was an adult when she chose to get these things done.. a lot of teenagers will go with what’s trending and end up making these permanent decisions without thinking about the consequences.

The point is that the teenagers are supposedly being pressured to conform to beauty standards. Grace's situation is different because she chose to undergo those changes. Whether it was when she was also a teen or an adult, there was clearly no societal pressure for the changes she chose.

its weird that grace thinks kpops influence on the way people look is so bizarre to her, but respectively, rock culture, pop culture and just generally tattoo culture influences kids as young as 14 to want and get tattooed, I remember being 12 and planning all the tattoos I wanted because all the musicians I liked had them. soooo I mean, I see the dichotomy of beauty culture in korea and tattoo culture in the western world.

TheDragonfly8712 I think it’s more of her speaking from experience not out of judgement. She got tattoos young, as did I and although I don’t regret them I wish I had waited and done them when I was older and knew all the risks, but getting it done at the age I did was illegal. Botox isn’t. And tattoos are rarely if ever pushed on people botox is very much pushed on people in Asia. She said in one of her previous videos that getting her modifications wasn’t just about the art and the look she wanted to achieve it was knowing if she could deal with people looking down on her for that then she could deal with anything, the pressure to have or not have these things done is what she’s mostly upset about more than the modifications itself

Plastic surgery in Korea is used to fit in to their country's beauty standards. Tattoos are used to stand out, to be unique. They are used to express and expand who you are as a person, not to hide and change yourself because you are not good enough according to society.

16:19 The story of this guy is actually sad, especially when he mentioned his relashionship with his dad. Personally, I've never understood why most parents want to control the physical image of their children when it's just a way of being authentic in this formated society.

Beauty stardards in korea have nothing to do with kpop tbh, the biggest issue is how important looks are to get a job, being an idol is also a job and they have to meet korean beauty standards as well, in fact plastic surgery is not really THAT common in idols but entertainment agencies only debut really good looking people and there's tons of predebut pics from every idol that show they've always looked good, there's even a visual role in every group and it's given to the member who meets this beauty standard the most, they don't really get as much surgery as western artists for sure tbh but yeah korea's beauty industry is huge but it's not about kpop or kdramas

Thank you Grace for bringing light to this situation in Korea. We need to break stigmas down of differences in appearances. Hope you are safe and well.

Irony: Somebody who has done body modifications to look in a certain way is asking others why are you going for surgeries.

This series was entertaining, but more so it was very enlightening. Very good job!

why did they go to a spa after they got their make up done?

Her parents are angels! They are so understanding and supportive of her daughter. I love how well her mother was able to explain that her concerns did not revolve around her daughter suddenly becoming a criminal, but rather around the negativity that is connected to something her daughter likes and whether she would be safe looking what she looks like. Very beautiful to see.

great video !!!

So I know this is going to get a lot of hate but hear me out; She criticizes the pressure K-Pop puts on young girls to get cosmetic surgery or achieve the ideal at a young age. She later states that she got her first tattoo at age 14. Because the K-Pop beauty ideal is not her cup of tea, she criticizes it while having personally had her body cosmetically modified at age 14 to achieve a beauty ideal that was likely influenced by the musicians SHE was listening to. Hmmm.

bumma You can't be 100% sure of that. When I was in school, there was a lot of pressure to dye your hair and get piercings. Tattoos placement and content can most certainly be trendy and pop culture can influence it significantly. I remember a few years ago, it suddenly became popular for girls to get tattoos of bows on the backs of their thighs, for example. Or when everyone was shaving the side of their head because it was "edgy" although it was blatantly inspired by Skrillex. It's not orthodox for us to think of someone being persuaded into getting tattoos or piercings due to peer pressure or media influence because they traditionally thought of as a more nontraditional form of expression. Society is changing and tattoos are something someone can be influenced by just as much as they would be any other modification.

Her point was that cosmetic surgery among teenagers is accepted to the extent that even their parents will gift these procedures to their teenage children. Grace getting a tattoo at 14 was and is still not acceptable to do in society, it is not common place for parents to accept tattoos on their teenagers.

I love Grace but I think it’s hypocritical of her to criticize young girls wanting/getting cosmetic surgery while she’s all in for body modifications like tattoos, piercings, etc. While she got her first tattoo at 14. Idk it’s weird.

Surgery is a way for Koreans to fit in better in a society who has a very narrow opinion on what is acceptable and what is not. It’s an underlying problem that spans across a number of very serious issues in Korea. Everyone needs good grades, a good college, a good job, a good heterosexual relationship and beautiful, successful children with no mental illnesses. There’s is one right way to live you life, and it has turned Korea into an extremely competitive society with very little room for finding your own path. There is a reason why they have the highest rating of suicide in the world.
