Stream Epiphany Many young girls in my culture idolize or obsess over Korea, especially its idols and Korean people in general. My Cousin’s Bestfriend and her brother are Korean. Every year my people have a big cultural festival called the Hmong New Year. The brother attended as a employee for a Kpop merchandise booth and was completely bothered by many girls who asked for pictures or gifts. Unfortunately, I was one of those girls, but it’s been almost 2 years since then and I’ve grown to learn not to obsess over things like that. He now has a girlfriend and I check on him every once awhile since I follow him on social media. On the other hand, there are girls obviously upset from this, so I just had to let out the idea not to fantasize or obsess over Korean culture. In the end they’re people. I’m not sure if this made any sense, but if you’ve made it this far thanks for reading

I'm Korean, and me and my best friend who is Japanese, find it EXTREMELY cringy when Koreaboos and Weaboos come up to us and ask us if we're Korean or Japanese and to take pictures and all that. It's absolutely fine to be a big fan of Kpop and Korean entertainment. It's just when non-Koreans try to act Korean and believe that they are Korean or obsess about us is when things start to get creepy.

It'd be interesting to note how their perceptions of ideal might differ or be similar to each other. Also, it could be good materials for those majoring in East Asian studies!

The comments are filled with foreigners who haven’t educated themselves properly on why some koreans find certain skin tones ideal/ less ideal. Personal opinion: skin tone doesn’t matter. But you WILL find people who DO care regardless of where their from lol.

Im not really into Korean men but I'll give you the run down. Most are average. But today . I saw a super handsome Korean guy on the subway. He was tall and gorgeous. Looked like a model. So some guys there are ridiculously hot. But it's not the average

i think most of us experience the feeling of being not good enough in terms of looks at some point in our lives but while growing up we start to realize that we can be happy with what we already have as long as we appreciate it and as long as we are nurturing our gifts and once we get there the way we look matters less.. i mean beauty isn't just "in the eyes of the beholder" it's also relative, even the most ugly creature is beautiful in the eyes of those that benefits from it, and the most beautiful human is ugly in the eyes of its enemy so in the end beauty like everything else is a practical feature that makes life vibrate!

the pressure they put on themselves wow

I do think that appearance is something so strict and important in Korea... to an extreme extent. Another thing that I have to say it is that, it is just so satisfying seeing how most korean men(an women) have an amazing fashion sense, like they will be walking in an amazing outfit every single day...

Things have value because we give it that... and we all love beauty, whether it's in the green of grass or the dying of it, or a boy in make up or girl with pale skin. I see beauty in dark skin that glows like moonlight. Short men who walk like they own the world, old men with grace, women with power... my point!! We have to really see beauty as fluid. Shout out to the guy in the knit hat who lacked confidence.... you found it!! to me confidence is one of the sexiest traits in the universe and ugliness becomes beautiful.

Beauty touches the soul by the actions of others..no matter what nationality..There is beauty and love everywhere. ENJOY LIFE AND LOVE!

I think the guy with the skull cap was cute!! Goes to show that people really do have different opinions on looks.

I think Asia is well behind in mental and emotional confidence. Everyone interviewed was sooo beautiful!

Great interview .

Why should we always try to look like someone else? We are all beautiful the way we are. Tall, short, fat, skinny, pale, dark. We are all beautiful. When will society tell us to be ourselves? People should not worry about their appearance so much and least about what others think. Guys, and girls, just be yourself. You are great just the way you are.

But what if you want to become the best version of yourself and do a change in your appearance not for society, for you. It’s not that a bit conformist way of thinking?

If the men interviewed were the standard, then I'd say Korean men deserve their reputation as being handsome. In general I don't care much about appearance because personality is what makes me fall for someone. ;)

It's really true that there is a significant amount of attention directed towards your appearance. When I was an exchange student in Korea, I feel the pressure to dress well and look good even though I'm just heading downstairs to buy some dinner or groceries. Nevertheless, it has helped me become more aware of my appearance and hence I would make an effort to dress up whenever I'm heading out. When I first returned home from Korea, it was kind of difficult to acclimatize to the way my local citizens are dressed. Thinking back, I kind of miss living in Korea because you really do get compliments along the streets and it's sort of like an acknowledgement for your effort. Just my 2 cents.

How "Superficial" this world is, to be so hung up on the height or skintone of a person. Instead of just accepting your own natural self. Is being taller or lighter make you a better person? Or is it the heart and essence of a person that is most beautiful?

Liking good looking people is in our dna and people don't always think about appearance just because they're shallow. Good looks meant someone is more likely to be healthy (example: a good jawline can mean that a person doesn't have their jaws and teeth in an incorrect and uncomfortable position, having a healthier jaw that functions properly) thus making them more desired. Also, pale skin meant you didn't have jobs poorer people had having to work out in the sun and was a possible sign of wealth. Who doesn't want a partner that has money to allow both you an them to live a comfortable life? It would be ridiculous to marry a homeless person over a person with cash because you need money to stay alive and buy necessities.

And when I compared a homeless person to someone with wealth, I didn't bring it up to talk about who can better themselves more, saying homeless people are unable to do so. My main point was that people naturally want a partner who is financially stable _in the present moment_ and is able to take care of both themself and you.

@@peggyroyster3759 Having pale skin represented wealth back in the olden days and still kind of do today. Plus, anything about a human body can be an indicator for how healthy a person is and "perfect". Why else would movies portray stereotypical "outsider" kids who aren't liked as having glasses and braces? Because they have poor eyesight and poor teeth, and years ago that would mean slimmer chances of survival for humans as any animal would want the best and strongest partner, not one that has trouble with this and that. I find it sad how you felt the need to bring up that you've graduated from university in order to act like you're above and have a higher intelligence as if people who haven't can't be as smart or even smarter. And you *_still_* don't understand what my comment is trying to imply, adding words of your own.

I studied abroad in Korea and I felt I was living in Modelville. Everyone looked like a model (at the university). I felt a bit ashamed, and needed to step my game up, but I didnt want to change myself for a society I am not a part of and I would only be there for a few months, so.. When I got away from the univeristy, many people still looked like Models, but I saw more regular looking people. I felt a bit comfortable. I barely saw any fat people either. As a fat person, I was like.. "Not only do I stick out, because I'm a foreigner, but I'm a Black, woman, who is fat!!!?? Auuggghhh!" XD Whenever I saw another fat Korean (i only saw 4) I would give them the "Black-power " raised fist, in solidarity with them. Granted, I got weird looks, but I could understand their struggles. lol

A bit late as well, but I'm Korean and I mostly grew up in the states, so after having to move back home, I had the same feeling of being stood out as you! I felt the urge and necessity to step my fashion game up, and it really is a double edged sword since you feel like you have to be on par with everyone else otherwise you do feel that you are the odd one out. But making the effort to put more focus on what you wear to try and keep up with everyone does in the end give you some charm points and boost your looks, but at the same time of course, drains your money LOL. I think it heavily depends on how self-assured and secured you are, but me personally, I had a difficult time trying to ignore the high beauty standards. One of the reasons why I wanted to watch this video is to hopefully find comments like yours that I could relate to, so I'm glad I did!

Well, they are koreans, and that level of dark skin doesn't even exist among them... It's equivalent to trying to find a person as white as a Scandinavian in the black community. There is no logic behind this

Korean men are handsome. Just as other's from different countries. It's all a matter of what you find attractive.

the last interviewee guy was so wise!we may not be ok with how we look but it's ok not to want to change it👌

Somewhere along the lines of "I'll fall for their personality and looks don't matter", makes me doubt such a statement. Humans have been instinctive to get attracted to what they *perceive* as attractive. There's really no way to escape lookism, **but one can avoid it**. I still believe someone has a subconscious bias to a "type", hence why people have preferences. Some people would rather date fit people, than unfit people. Some people prefer cleaner people than the not-so-clean people. Some people prefer people with a sense of fashion, vs a person without one. I do my best to avoid such a bias, but there's no way that I'd lie and say that I have no subconscious preference at all. I'll list all the questions below to which some people would probably answer "no" to. If you answer "no", it's completely normal, you have a subconscious preference. - Would you date an obese person? - Would you date a person who clutters and doesn't care much for hygiene? - Would you date a person who grows body hair other than hair on their head and brows? - Would you date a person without a sense of fashion? - Would you date a person who is facially and or bodily unattractive to you? Again, if you answered "no" to any of these, it's totally normal, but if you feel bad about it, you can always avoid your biases and try for people you just feel like you can connect with.

Wow the interviewer is so attractive herself 😮

At 10:40 with 2ne1's lonely in the background... Such timing!

Personality & ideals are probably the most important thing when looking for partner, in my personal opinion. Though, there are physical attributes I'm more attracted to than others, it's ultimately someone's character & how they treat me (& make me laugh, I love that), that will determine moreso if I want to date them. Also, it saddens me how many people care about skin tone in this day & age. Imagine meeting the most "perfect" person for you & then choosing to disregard them b/c they aren't the "right" skin tone. That's absurd, in my opinion. Date whoever makes you happy EXACTLY as you are & if anything, makes you want to be a better version of yourself with each passing day. That's what really matters.

Pretty interesting...

It’s different cultures and if you have nothing positive to say...butt out ❗️We all know it doesn’t matter what country, there are all ranges of outer appearances, I tend to find beautiful insides attractive 🤷🏻‍♀️

I always find it annoying in k drama when the female lead ask the Male lead why he likes her ? And he replies with cause you are pretty and the girl is actually impressed . Like ALL IS ABOUT VISUAL .

people like the guy in the winter hat at the very end are my ideal type because he seems so humble and he's so good looking. idl why he doesn't think like that

Outer beauty capture your eyes but inner beauty capture your heart. Beautiness , it is a thing but it is not everything. Never be upset to think to be looking like... . Live in yourself remember you are what you are .
