"I'm not saying that I'm happy with how I look, but I don't really feel the need to fix it." That right there my fellas is real self-acceptance, there's no denial or self-pity.
Exactly 💯
And then there are people saying “love and accept yourself” and go and get surgeries and say they weren’t insecure about what they changed. I don’t get it.
@@karinachavez2803 This kind of people just want attention.
@@karinachavez2803 They are in big denial. Those are the kinds, who are the most insecure.
That's why I don't watch these Korean beauty standards. They are depressing af
I think most Koreans have a high fashion sense, i always see them dressing well. Even in my country. But I can't believe people deadass message them. Keep the koreaboo away thank you, next
They are obsessed about their nacionality, it's pretty sick they have the same mentality as gold diggers
@@popcornale6393 I feel the second hand embarrassment, the whole kpop communities image is ruined thanks to them
No. No they don't.
My mother is Korean, she doesn't care about pale skin, but she loves rounded eyes! I used to be atracted only to man like Jared Leto and Bradley Cooper. I never thought I could be atracted to East Asian men, but
with the invasion of Korean audiovisual art, I changed my concepts.
It seems I've been brainwashed! 🤦♀
I know, what the heck! I like kpop but idolizing and obsessing over their nationality is weird as hell...
not every korean guy will look like a kpop idol, y’all needa get that through your head
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
ur profile pic im laughiNg
Ya hit that right
@@chonjiuo2027 There's nothing wrong with enjoying Korean culture, the music, and such... But yeah, obsessing about it is going overboard. You start to lose touch with reality. 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.
Really? 😄
The guy with the cap and tan jacket is really good looking but seems to keep describing everything he's not. That's very sad.
He's trying to set a beauty standard he can't reach so that if he gets rejected, he can always blame it on his looks.
Tbh he wasnt that good looking...
IMO He's not that good looking, but he's attractive.
@@lalakuma9 ? that's just what you are thinking. He doesn't seem like that kind of stupid guy.
he is just humble, because of Korean culture
I love the way he talks, his expressions. He isn't in Korean beauty standards perhaps beautiful, but I find him most attractive!
188 and 58 kg??!!!!
He is fashion model. so....
From a point of view of an european that's too low
@@ddannyable well even in korea that's very low too. my tall friends(6'1~6'3 tall guys. young men's avg is 174cm) usually weight 70~90kg.
Ikr!!!
That's legit anorexic territory.
They guy with the hat is so relaxing to listen to
@Sehun Min lmao I actually kept replaying his parts because his voice is so soothing.
He would be good to listen to as a radio caster.
Right. He has nice voice.
I find it attractive how much care Korean men put into their looks. Most western men don’t seem to care as much
but i don't want my man to wear my makeup
@@caliholmes3261 😅 makeup never looks natural
Rashmi Kotian what if it’s just concealer or something like that
My man can do whatever he wants to his appearance as long as it makes him feel confident, including makeup. We wear it to look put together and nice, so y can’t they?
Rashmi Kotian it doesn’t mean only putting make up.. Korean guys cares their fashion, hairs and every thing. It’s good to take care themselves and keep it neat
“But in the end, what’s important is the actual person.” Wise words, I heartily agree 🙌🏼. Inner beauty always shines the best, looks fade over time.
Ugly remain forever 😓
yeah. so truuue.
@Adarsh Anand yes.
Yes. Bingo!!!
What about the fear of growing old, then what, put out to pasture and forgotten?
the men that appeared on this video are all good looking so they shouldnt care about those standards
I swear why is skintone so damn important
Edit: Wow I did not expect this post of all things to blow up, for those debating in the comments I respect your culture but colorism is a real damaging thing and you should not try justifying it.
A bit tanner skin shows that you're healthy
Regularly get sun exposure, which probably means you excersize
Back then, being fair meant being rich and tan skin meant being poor. It’s still deep inside the culture even tho the meaning isn’t the same
well why is height so important...
Well its important atleast for me lol
@@SammyCee23 I have yet to meet a single girl here in LA who wanted a short guy, honestly.
The guy from 10:39 onwards gave the best perspective of all at 10:53 --> "But what I ended up realizing was that at some point, there will be times you're treated differently because of your looks, or you could be limited in some way, but in the end WHAT'S IMPORTANT IS THE ACTUAL PERSON."
He hit the nail right on the head: accept people for who they are and not for how they look! Unfortunately, our society at large, the fashion and beauty industry, in a bid to sell their products say otherwise, spinning lies to deceive the masses into believing that outward appearances is what counts, discounting the character and the personality of people, real, every-day-life people.
YES! He is Extremely attractive. He reminds me of Loco
Yeah he is deep
Tesla Anderson if i were the girl he liked for 6 years id be married by now
And he is really handsome and at the same time humble. Very attractive combination.
I really like that guy. So masculine. I cant date sb who is too pretty or sb who thinks they are not. Like wth?? Get real man!
Kpop Idols don’t even look like Kpop idols when you take away the heavy makeup, wigs/extensions, lighting, photoshop, tailored clothing, etc. it’s a fantasy
Priorities Life oh I’m not saying they aren’t beautiful, I think the average kpop idol is better looking than the avg person on the street barefaced. But they, like all celebs, don’t look like they do when they’re photographed, on stage, etc
@Michelle Molina so true
Some of them do but yeah Everyone is not the same and the majority doesn't look the same but still there are some who do
@@manahelzulqarnain4457 lol everyone knows Korea is full of make up and cosmetic surgeries. No gene lotteries
@@yesiamwinningdad5024 LOL Let me tell you about some idols who are beautiful without makeup and for them it has been proven that they Didn't get any plastic surgery. Almost all the members of BTS and Got7. Tzuyu and Sana from Twice and much more. Natural beauty is rare but it exists
>"Foreigners think all Korean men are handsome and it's not true!"
>All men in video super handsome
_Coincidence? Don't think so_
Okay I’m Korean guy. in Korea average dude on the street of Seoul just looks like them. actually those look lot below average don’t come out
Alex Cho that’s so sad they don’t come out at all! Screw it come to Canada or America ❤️ 😂 but seriously they deserve to feel comfortable in their own country I’m sorry you and others go through this
no im korean and my brother ugly asf
therebinthe There are good and bad looking people in all ethnicities!
I feel like most korean men seen in the interviews look tidy and take care of their image, even a person who is not particularly attractive can achieve handsomeness in this way (personally I think that's the most important part on someone's image).
If they were dressed on casually clothes they wont look that attractive, i think people think they hare handsome because of their clothes, that's really sad.
@@popcornale6393 I know some koreans and they usually have few clothes, but these fit them well. It's a cultural thing, nothing sad about it, they just like to look neat and jobs are highly competitive.
@@GiveMeCoffee I know it is a cultural thing and people who are less atracctive struggle to find a job even if they are smart but it does still sad.
Exactly! So many people could be doing themselves favors by instead of complaining about how ugly they look, they could keep themselves well-groomed and find clothing that suits their body types and their personalities. Some people really don't understand how much a good hairstyle and good-fitting clothes can do for you.
@@popcornale6393 It's clearly not only just their clothes. I'm sure they exercise and have healthier diets (compared to the West), which makes a big difference for creating a higher baseline aesthetic. But dressing well and having a neat appearance does make an important difference. There was a Korean girl that wasn't so attractive in our workplace as a visiting scientist. But the fact that she was so well-kempt honestly made her look a lot more attractive, so having clean and well fitted clothes makes a difference.
Korea is officially the most visually driven society in our current decade
agree
I don't agree, in every country there is beauty standards, they are just different, it's just that the face is more important in Korea and for the body u just have to be skinny, but in other countries, thick bodies are a must, I don't have it and a lot of people keep telling me to gain a little more weight, so it's the same thing I guess.
Not really.. Chinese are really obsessed woth being very skinny as length of a printing paper. Japanese are obsessed woth having huge eyes. Indians are obsessed with having white skin(thier bleaching industry is worth millions of dollars there). Americans are obsessed with having huge ass, and lips...
@@RA-gw7lk length of a printing paper, stop spreading false information, people like you are the reason why stereotypes exist
@@jundu8471 nope. My chinese frienf told me
I visited Seoul last week for the first time and what struck me was how good looking the men and women are, even though most of the men all have the same haircut.
meilin sara yea just like at 8:20 and 11:30 they look the same omg!
@meilin sara they are a homogeneous society..there are no minority ethnic groups..same exact genetics make the same looking people..idiot
@meilin sara yours look 110% the same to Korean too trust me
@meilin sara totally agree
Korea is extremely homogeneous they wanna be ‘stylish’ and on with the times but when everyone does that they end up looking the same. Japan contrast to popular belief has a lot more individuality in comparison
Tbf, when I goon holiday I often see Korean couples, and the guys always seem to have a nice face, their hair and clothes are always immaculate too. They may not all be tall but they do take great care in their appearance.
Looking good is a top priority in Korean Culture. You can't look horrible even if you are taking out the trash. I'm not joking. It's real business & it gets as real as it can.
Becuase that's all they have ... looks. Nobody cares about inner beauty or unique character... They're all pathetic there.
@@nora4981 You couldn't be more wrong. Korea is a visually driven place because of workplace competitiveness. There are mature adults that can put aside their differences. Stop watching fake news
@@kimmulakshmi Honestly, this couldn't be further from the truth. I'm Korean and I've NEVER been criticized by my family members or anyone else for not "looking good" when taking out the trash. I've seen PLENTY of Koreans go out with messy hair and pajamas while taking out the trash and no one bats an eye.
@@nora4981 You should really stop commenting without having your emotions checked out.
Honestly anyone with clear skin I envy. And literally all of them did. Gimme ur clear skinnnnn
Jaysho palmz They probably have make up on.
Trinh Nguyen they’re not celebrities so no, the chance is highly unlikely
All my Korean friends have make up on
@@vincent-pj7zo you dont have korean friends
Yes. Take it~
Bruh it’s like assuming every American guy looks like some actor from Hollywood 😭
The guy in the beanie is so cute, totally my style. He should grow the soul patch back, he'd look nice imo
The guy in the beanie gave the best response in my honest opinion.
Being 6’ and less that 160lbs is so frightening to hear 😭 In the west most guys that are 6’+ are over 200lbs and look just as great
he's 6'2
Thank God. I'm 6' and 160 exactly.
The guy is 6'2"
I'm 6'1 and 143...
@@hezekiahthompson6817 eat some food, you need to be atleast 180
I'm asian male, not korean(from russia) Here in Russia Kdrama and kpop is very popular... I'm very average guy... I'm not handsome or tall (175 sm) But couple years ago I was in Korea as exchange student... and I realized that average korean guys more good looking than Russian, german, polish or arab (I used to live in Dubai, now i live in poland and germany) They have unique sense of style, they often use products for scin care and e.t.c. They look cool... so I learn some things from Korean guys... Before that I used to be racist, homophobic about Korean guys... But now I love kpop and Kdrama... I use scin care products and have sense of fashion style... Here in Germany, Poland and Russia I wasnt popular among girls before Korea... But now I'm pretty popular, but i do it not for girls, I just want look more cool...)))) (sorry for my english)
nice job! I'm doing the same thing except with korean girls. they really know how to look and dress nice.
DON'T EVEN ... German and Russian men look wayyyyy better than Korean men ... who wants a female looking man? Stop hating and just move to Korea
@@heiiart6382 well they may take care of their looks, but I think they care TOO much. I've seen all these online posts about Koreans being too obsessed with their looks that they have a lot of worry, and plastic surgery is very common because of it. Its actually sad, people just need to be happy with their natural looks, but its difficult in Korean culture. There's always 'more weight that needs to be lost' or 'I need to be taller' or 'I need double eyelids to be pretty' :-(
@@nora4981 nope))) Here in germany 3 out of 10 guys good looking and have sense of style))) in russia and poland maybe only 1 out of 10))) among arab guys is 1 out of 20))) but in Korea it is like 6 out of 10))) About female looking... DON'T EVEN))) I used to think like you but in reality Korean guys wayyyyyyyyy more musculine then german, arab or poland guys... mostly becouse of army... I don't hate german, poland or arab guys... I'm just sayng they are different... in sense of good looking, style, musculinity korean guys just better... I'm not even korean but I live there around 1 year... in Dubai 9 month, in Tyrkey 6 month, in germany, poland, hungary around 2 years... I grew up in Russia... and it's only my opinion... just saying no hate)))
El Che they’re not masculine trust me 😂 maybe you’re a closeted lesbian? 😏
Capitalizing on the Koreaboos, I see.
Exactly! 😂😂😂
HAHAAHHAHAAHAHAH
Black lol
@@dongjuncha220 what..
Regardless of age, I find your videos quite informative and I really enjoy viewing information and opinions of other cultures. Thanks, you do a great job!
I used to work in a museum then came this group of korean boys, one of them was so stylish I almost fell directly on the floor by just seeing him. So gorgeous. And I am not a fan of kpop (but I like fashion)
Most of the men they interviewed were good looking tho 😂
Literally everyone in this video was hot... especially the beanie dude and the guy with the kinda wavy hair and they both had hella smooth voices...DAMN
The beanie dude? Hmmm idk abt that one
8:27 ?
why are you lying to these people? just say you're a koreaboo and go. hot would be like Cha Eunwoo, BTS V, Park Seojoon, etc. The people in this video are barely average
@@GranolaBars11 bruh wut😭how are YOU going to tell ME what i like. u can think they're average and i can think they're hot its called different taste, backup😭😭and luv im a kboo for? finding someone attractive? snap off ig😳
@@GranolaBars11 Bruh get off your high horse lol
As someone living in Korea, I saw a lot of foreign girls into Korean guys no matter how they look like :D It seems like the Asian fever is no longer only about guys who like Asian girls. It works both ways now
Pretty much. I've seen young women drool over the waiters at Korean BBQ places. I've always been attracted to Asian men even though I really was never around any. That would have been over 25 years ago. I grew up in a mostly white midwestern town. I think the only Asian guy I knew in high school was my friend's brother. They were from India.
I hate it. I just happen to like manly asian men, not just KOREAN since I was young, I don't know why, my first love and first kiss was with a asian guy, I did not like him just because he's asian but rather because he's cute and funny guy. it was wayyyy before people go crazy over asian guys. I am now in my early 30s, and I don't fancy just anyone. If there is a guy look like Lee Sang Yoon, I will fell in love because he is my type but I don't throw myself at him and I have to remind myself that he is way out of my league, not because he is korean but because he is handsome, it is same with every country, there are handsome and ugly people in every country, so S.Korea are no exception. It was just young girls who go crazy over any guys who are Korean even if they are ugly. Yikes.....
@@monsterrr1999 the cool thing about getting older is that people rely less on looks and more on looking healthy. I mean age is an equalizer. The people who were ugly ducklings in their youth might becomes swans because they took care of themselves all these years while some of the beautiful people did not so they might not have aged as well.
What I've learned is never think someone is out of my league. If someone things we are under their league then those are the kinds of people we don't want in our lives in the first place.
Kinda true))) I live in Germany and Eatern Europe))) I'm not saying I'm handsome or tall... I'm 180 sm... But I take care of my appearance... And I love fashion... so sometimes girls hit on me... It's kinda awkward... bcs I'm introvert person... But now I'm used to it))) If you asking me who hit on me most... it's teenege or young girls (16-25 old)... Arab or white...
@@lifetobelived9102 If there is a guy look exactly like Lee Sang Yoon, I would have to let him go because he deserve a beautiful girl, but if he likes me then fine but I refuse to be a toy that he can play with and throw away afterwards. It is just not worth it. As for ugly ducklings, I totally get it, that is why you should met as adults, not as teens. You never know they may have change but if you are in love, then who cares. Hell, who knows, I may not end up with asian guy, which is fine with me because love is what matters to me. I have met guys who are very handsome but have a boring and dull personality, like you don't know if you can be happy with him as your side for the rest of your life, because all they care about their looks. I like funny guys the most, because it is really hard for someone to make me laugh, i rarely laugh in person because most people I know are not funny, but if someone can make me laugh so much then I'm going to marry him, because I want to laugh and smile a lot for the rest of my life. That is why I decide to judge guys with their personality so it will take me a very long time before we can start a relationship so before that, I will straight up ask him to introduce me to his family and friends because I want to know if he date me for real, dating with marriage in mind, or just for fun. I don't have time to play around. all guys are same and boring, anyone can be sweet and flirty, nothing is new.
i love how genuine and realistic everyone sounds. they ain't making stuff up
There are so many misconceptions, both positive and negative, about Korea and Koreans.
인정
Loved this interview. I especially loved the guy who is a model, his perspective was inspiring.
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.
Japanese and Koreans always on top of their dress game 🔥
biLAWL Many Chinese in larger cities such as Shanghai, too.
I personally feel their males dress the best not their females tho feel American(ones in media) females dress better
their female attire conflicts with their body shape to much of the time
Suddenly? Japanese?
agree
Tbh korean males look damn good in that goblin’s male lead hairstyle
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!
Why the hell would you give black power fists to Koreans
Just so you know, there's totally nothing wrong with being black. Society is messed up, don't conform to the beauty standards that Society has set for the world, don't be afraid to be yourself.
The girl whose face was blurred said that her skin was dark!!
Comet Titan I am coal then..
She looks fair skinned
Sangelina Ainha lol
Melike Küçükmuslu I’m still in shock.
think it more so compared to people in her race I guess (felt like she was light too) but If compared to people in video she was closest to dude he said some called him Japanese looking
like if you go to African community their term pale amy mean just what we call tan
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?
All the Korean guys in this video were indeed very good looking.
No tattoos, slim, fit, well dressed, very polite and well spoken. All attributes lacking in young males here in Australia. Also the females appear to be the same. Koreans are very lucky.
Omg so true and Sydney boys are really rude and junky 😪. But Koreans grow up respectful and kind. I'm so jealous of Korean girls
@@nora4981 that's the problem with you western people,too arrogant
@@nora4981 damn who hurt you
These days, tons and tons of young Koreans have tattoos everywhere. Neck, face, arms, legs, etc.
Koreans care a lot about their looks, which is good but it might give you a wrong perceptions, looks wont tell you about their personalities, thinking and behaviour, be careful for falling only for their style
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.
2:51 ohhhh god he’s handsome . and he’s smile , i’m DEAD 💓
Korean men are handsome. Just as other's from different countries. It's all a matter of what you find attractive.
2nd GUY:"No, I didn't know we were popular."
He definitely looks like my ideal Korean man. Lots of wavy hair, dimples, dressed well and very naturally handsome.
Seriously, I can spend all day watching your videos! I should not do it but I can perfectly spend around 2 hours. Love your contents! I find quite interesting the evolution of the question that have been done. The ideal of a "one full head taller than me" it's really common in the girls who have been reading manga or watching anime.
"because people think all Korean men are good-looking, they'll message us over social media"
Koreaboos, I swear
@ahmed ali delusional
I'm more surprised on how willing these interviewees are in expressing their honest opinions.
Because koreans arent politically correct at all, unlike western society were you have to say certain things or you will get cancelled thats why
Idk why I’m watching so many Korean videos. Quarantine is getting to me
Gong Yoo in the thumbnail ❤️
I don't understand why. Is he that good looking? I really don't understand. He is not even an avg looking person in our standards. Most of the other kdrama actors look better than him.. Lee min ho, park hyun sik, ji chang wook etc etc.. But this person.....? Why? I'm sorry, I don't have any kind of problem with this person and I like him too. But I'm really curious. Really really curious...

GAGAHA
at 4:16 weight 58 KG and 188 cm tall ? as an italian, I think Korean mens are a little bit obsessed with weight
he said he's a model so he has to be skinny
@@goodbad-boy Doesn't matter 58kg for 188 cm ? Even if you're a model that's way to low for a man
@@AncientSpirit. here's the thing,not every standard is the same for every country
@@AncientSpirit. does he look 58kg to you? As long as you look good it doesn't matter.
He have to be fitable to fashinable clothing. I am sure he can raise his weight whenever he can.
did she just say she has DARK SKIN at 4:40 omg i'm...i have to laugh as a south indian
Yes dude north Indians considered fair what they say dark.
Conclusion:if they say Indians r dark they say both Indians.
she says she prefer male with darker skin than her
@@ariqnaufal9836 and also said the reason coz she was dark skinned women. Watch carefully
@@Surya-su7en She is obviously comparing herself to very fair people. Like even her friend next to her was quite pale and lighter than her
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
5:00 the way he speaks is so satisfying lol idk why
Gong Yoo is the ideal Korean man 😍😍
I loved this clip! I have always wondered what the typical korean man looks like so this was very intriguing to me. Thank you
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
Its insane that ive studied korean so hard...i watched this when the video was released and didnt understand anything..just came across it again and i get 70% og it wthout the subtitles....im truly amazed
I hope to be like you! How long have you been studying?
congrats!
@@cleolikesguitar about 1 year now
I just want someone that loves me back and treats me well, I don't really care about looks as long as that person is healthy
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...
Omg goblin! I love it! One of my personal favourites
So basically it's like saying 'As I experienced with anime, all Japanese highschool girls have colored hair and big eyes....'
Beauty touches the soul by the actions of others..no matter what nationality..There is beauty and love everywhere. ENJOY LIFE AND LOVE!
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 .
The interviewer has such a soothing voice!
I think the guy with the skull cap was cute!! Goes to show that people really do have different opinions on looks.
the pressure they put on themselves wow
I think Asia is well behind in mental and emotional confidence. Everyone interviewed was sooo beautiful!
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.
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.
In the thumbnail on the right side,you can see the gentleman from squid game who plays the Ddakji game with the contestants
I think all the men they interviewed are attractive and good looking lol
i never googled 175cm in my life so quickly, turns out it’s around 5’8”
175cm is 5'9
it’s 5’9
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!
And they say men have unrealistic beauty standards for women... no wonder marriage and birth rate is plummeting in Korea.
It is? I thought that was Japan?
Very Intelligent answers! Thank you!
After this video I feel that I can not live in South Korea. The pressure about their appearance is so much
It would be great if there is a Japanese and Chinese version of this interview too! These countries have so much going on between them for years (if not centuries!). 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!
Wow the interviewer is so attractive herself 😮
Great interview .
Lol. At my school, you can look at a group of international students and pick out the Korean guy because most of them have those circular glasses and curly, wavy hair (Goblin style). :P :P
Their definition of dark skin had me falling off my chair lol
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. ;)
They don't have personalities so ...
remember that people somewhat confident with their looks will be the ones who agree to this interview, I've been to korea and it's literally the same as every other country in terms of a variety in attractive or not attractive.
@@nora4981 LOL you must be an internet troll or must have been deeply hurt by someone. Who hurt you kiddo?
Mei Tayama Looks is the first thing that draws you in. Looks are definitely a part of it regardless of what anyone says.
@@koyukiny Nora is a butthurt triggered troll with no life posting the butthurt in every comment XD
the guy at the end really spoke some fire throughout the vid :D
Honestly all the men that were being interviewed were quite good looking hahaha
Yu Hae-Jin, All SK people like him. That's how it should be. Likeable from every ages.
Bro, I clicked the video the moment I saw Gong Yoo from squid game in the thumbnail.
Who is stupid to think that? Do non Americans think all Americans look like Hollywood actors and actresses? Same with the American soap operas, they always have hot actors and actresses there.
Hey whoever you are just want to drop by and say that you shouldn’t care about the standards of anyone based on how you look,we should all learn to love because of the Actual person and their personality not for their looks years from now all pf the beauty will fade but your personality won’t change being attractive is always on the inside it’s always about having a good caring heart💛Have a nice day☀️🌻
For me i like to see: GONG YOO, JI HYUN WOO, JONG YONG HWA( CN BLUE) MEN with beautifull handsome eyes and smile,i love it🤩🤩💖💖💖
That guy in the tan jacket and the curly hair. 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
Guy with the beanie. 🤩 Unique is not bad. A good mind is nice. A good heart is the best.
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👌
I find these videos very interesting. Could we have a female edition aswell please?
This was really interesting and I am planning to visit as soon as the virus is over. I found it surprising the men are into makeup
Gong yoo is so beautiful...gosh💜💜

At 10:40 with 2ne1's lonely in the background... Such timing!
That last man who was so concerned about his looks that he didn't approach his crush for six years is very cute.
it must be hard to be a Korean, where every judgment is visually driven, where people should have a good looking appearance, small jaw, double eyed-lid, skinny, tall, pale, sharp nose, etc. Where personality, attitude, skills, and behavior are secondary things after all these "good-looking" kinds of stuff.
Other countries would think that Korean are so in to their appearance like you. But if you look deep down in there history, Koreans have perfectionism in there gense. Not just the looks, they try so hard in all fields. In a way, it’s sad for individuals, but from the national point of view it quite beneficial.There’s alway bad n good.... Like a double edged sword.
@@joannechoi5208 true
@Leone Lelen Skills and behavior are some of the most important things in korean society
the guy with the skull cap is very handsome
I was most please with the answers ...although they put soo much investment in their outward appearance...they seemed educated and grounded 👌💖
Theres a sense of order/ cleanliness and structure in their style .... and to be honest that's MAJOR
I love their sense of style.
