@You'll never know me because this is the internet right, honestly I'm pretty ugly compared to other people in my race and I've also though of doing plastic surgery, since I'm only 17 I'm wanting to get nose surgery and jawline surgery once I turn 19 or 20
she s not she s normal not ugly but just a normal girl no hate but we should stop calling people beautiful just to make them feel happy we should feel happy just the way we are no need to be beautiful or perfect
That's literally me- Few months ago I was like cant wait to go to Korea and then I read these kind of articles and I was like uh ok time to cancel the trip
You should go, your beauty is different and that's what makes it special. don't allow things like this to limit you from living your life. we only got one so go out there a enjoy it.
@@mjv4960 People are weak is the problem. We struggle to accept new things - forcing us to alienate those around us that don't fit our world view - as well as to be confident in ourselves - Therefore always trying to fit into other people's world view.

This is litteraly what every girl on the Internet does. They are amazingly beatiful but they act like they arent so Tausends of people tell them how beatiful they are. Never ever does an actuall ugly person to This because nobody will say good thing about them. I cant believe people actually belive that crap and write things like "OMG youre so beatiful how could you thing that youre ugly" SHE DOESNT. Thats why she did This.

@@MrMrbobo46 😂 I know what you mean. We all feel insecure at that age especially. But still, there’s a problem of self acceptance based on racial stigmas. It exists.

But yeah, it’s especially annoying for people who don’t have something or have less of something hear stories from people who are actually hot, rich, something else and grieving about it, don’t appreciate it enough.

I comfort people when they feel ugly by saying “you’re fine, you’re not ugly!” and I mean it. Well maybe they do have some flaws on them, but to me, I think they’re still perfectly fine. Nobody is perfect!
It's natural to think of what we see as being beautiful, pretty, plain, unattractive, ugly, etc. Like, comparing flowers, buildings, homes, dogs, cats, humans. Or which color of the rainbow you like better. Or choosing a pet dog/cat. Or choosing someone to date. Etc. So if it's not OK to think of something as being ugly, what do you call something you find unattractive? Ex. That is an
@@ronc9413 The fact that something is natural doesn't automatically make it ok. Beauty is completely subjective. That's why fashion and physical ideals change all the time. Beauty standards can be influenced by the era and culture. Since it is a subjective matter, saying that someone is not attractive to you is much more accurate and a lot less cruel. No matter whether you find someone attractive or not, they had no choice in what life has given them and choosing to ignore that fact is, in my opinion, ugly and cruel.
@@luckyblume2116 Of course, beauty is “subjective” or “in the eye of the beholder”. There is no right or wrong opinion. You aren’t ugly if you think someone is ugly. And, conversely, you aren’t beautiful if you think someone is beautiful. It’s just what you think, according to “what you like”/preferences. For example, some people think Kim Kardashian looks beautiful. While other people think Kim Kardashian looks ugly. You are not a bad person if you think someone is unattractive. You can’t force your opinion onto other people (exception if what you believe in would cause someone to die). It’s like telling someone, who doesn’t want to date tall people, they are a bad person and they have to like tall people.
Actually there are no ugly people. Cause "beauty" depends from personal point of view. Everyone has their inner beauty, no matter what they say. Just be yourself. :)
Exaclty, if it wasn't for beauty standards. Everyone wouldn't know about being what pretty was. You know Every one has their charm. EVERYONE IS BEAUTIFUL.
@@simple.1829 I appreciate myself , l am beautiful and so everyone is , beauty is something that can only be seen by beautiful eyes . It's indefinable , and for me everyone is gorgeous
As an “older” person, I feel terrible for the younger generation these days. I grew up before this wave of Korean culture and although there were beauty standards while I was growing up, I never felt the need to change who I was. There was no social media, no RUclips, no makeup tutorials. With the rise of Kpop, it’s changed the way young Asian girls and boys think of themselves. Doing extreme things just to meet Asian beauty standards which are pretty much impossible to attain without plastic surgery. The worst part? These celebrities, of all ethnicities tend to say that they never went under the knife. It’s disgusting, and it’s sad that media has made so many people think they’re ugly when they’re not.
Yeah you’re right, I used to think I was skinny and didn’t need to lose weight. But recently I’ve been wanting to eat less to look more like the Kpop idols 😔
@@yoooo7568 I think you already look very pretty. You don't have to look like the typical kpop idol to be one. Eat what your body needs, you'll be in a worse situation if you starve yourself luv. "set your own standards, don't follow someone else's if you know it isn't good for you."
It’s so sad; I feel like all of the people in the before/after pictures looked more appealing before...not that looks should matter that much anyway, but I just like how unique and pure Koreans look naturally!
@@yoooo7568 Please don't try starving yourself so that you could look a certain way. I really hope that you'll realize that you are beautiful just the way you are❤
Its really sad that we don't feel good enough n we end up obsession over what we look like to others I did feel them same way. Until I started exceptin myself n how I look is all a. Gift from my. Creator we will not feel good n b at. Peace when we don't accept this is how I'm made in the original
I'm a proud black women and growing up in the US I had a Korean best friend named Han Mi I she had similar features like yours and I always thought she was so pretty and so are you
This is such a sweet comment. My best friend from HS was Korean as well and I always thought she was gorgeous even when she thought she wasn’t. That school was majority white, so it made her feel like she should’ve been like them. :( Now, she’s proudly representing Korea and loving her features. So nice!
@@detektivconan574 you really must not have anyone that loves you to ask such a dumb question-I mentioned it because it's a part of learning that different races and cultures have opinions on beauty of different races and no need in replying because I will only address your ignorance this one time-find somebody who will make you a better person-good day
I mean, there must be a perfect genetic makeup somewhere, what genes belong to it? Watch the next episode in Designer Babies of the Future to find out!
@lob ops Beauty is pretty much arbitrary for the most part, what someone considers attractive is mainly affected by the environment they grow up in. If someone grew up their whole lives without knowing what a European looked like they wouldn’t be attracted to those features, they would find them foreign and unattractive. American media is king currently, so American beauty standards are going to be preferred across the world.
I feel like that's a common problem with Asian countries(I'm Indian) I remember my grandmother was telling me that I looked darker from when I was a baby and they put this weird cream that makes you skin brighter
She is actually really pretty, she thinks that she dosnt look korean enough and shes insecure about it, but you dont have to look korean if you were born there, you just have to look like you, and you are beautiful. Your not ugly we just live in a judgmental society.
I don´t understand why they think their eyes are unattractive, I think Koreans have beautiful eyes. I had a Korean friend when I was in middle school and was always stunned by her features.
That is also why many asian, who are usually more tanned want to be pale. And many pale, white people want to be tanned. You always want what you dont have.
As a black girl I know for a fact I’m considered ugly in Korea’s standards, but that never stopped me from loving myself. This young lady is beautiful in every way❤️
Oh girl no! Black girls are considered very beautiful in Korea and Japan too. And the Korean beauty standards don't come naturally. So, they really appreciate natural beauty.
@@Rainjojo I'm a brown girl (Indian) and I'm always fascinated by the shiny skin of people with color. They never get aged!! They don't even need make-up
The only real ugly person is who is ugly inside... + u know what tbh this is suppose to be true but its not. I know all people tend to judge the outside and it’s true. For example, if there were two person with the exact same personality, u’d want to date the more handsome one. And if u r pretty, its a real blessing cuz some people wanna be an actor but cant because of their faces and some people still judge people’s faces on job interviews. If u take example of a doll, say there’s two dolls with the same price and one is more cuter. Which one would you wanna buy? Most people would buy the cuter one. We can’t change this kind of mind cuz we r born with it. We CAN think that someone is ugly but if u SAY it to that person or treat them DIFFERENTLY just because of their outside, online or offline, that’s what’s RUDE.
Even I felt affected by Korean beauty standards and I am not Korean, I am latina. When I got into Kpop all I wanted was to be perfect like them, to be skinny and have fair skin. I was in 2019 that I realized I would never fit those standards and I started to love myself more and embrace more my own culture. Thanks a lot for this video, you have no idea how much you're helping others.
Appreciation is the best thing👌 Kind of out of context but if your own people doesn't see ur beauty maybe others will. It's the case for me :| I'm an asian but latinas are my thing. Were all beautiful and unique in our own ways😶👉
@SASA SASA Wtf im tried of this shit She is talking about life in the US at the time not in korea You guys are always make it relate with Plastic surgery whenever somebody talking about Beauty or Just korea, Can i ask what's your nationality is?
@@letstalkabouttheworld400 i mean she's also talking about the current beauty standards in korea --- and the popularity of plastic surgery. there's nothing wrong with that, but you can't deny south korea has a booming and normalized plastic surgery economy.
@SASA SASA Korean beauty standard it’s too much for Koreans that’s why everyone one be looking the same! It’s so sad because people are losing individuality and don’t realize that everyone’s beautiful. It’s so toxic and no wonder suicide rates are high in the eastern world. Wish people will start appreciate more their looks however until white people are in the center of everything it will be hard to accept diversity such as dark skin as beautiful and desirable or monolids as elegant and sophisticated. I don’t want to bring this up everytime but it’s true that Colonialism fucked things up for everyone. With the white woman at the centre of female beauty black women, south Asian women and East Asians women try to get close to those standards by bleaching, wearing waves, rhinoplasty, and having double eyelids surgery. Now some of you think that double eyelids isn’t necessarily a white thing which is true but it is the white man that brainwashed Koreans in having double eyelids during the Korean War.
@@lousdinovembre There is so much wrong in your comment. 1. Conformity, trends, beauty standards are a thing, like everywhere else, but it does not mean everyone looks the same. Most Koreans don't even get surgery. 2. What beauty standard in any country isn't toxic? How are beauty standards even pushing massive numbers of people to commit suicide? Have you considered there are other deeper issues like poor mental health awareness? 3. Beauty standards at its core leaves little to no room for diversity in any country. Otherwise, it wouldn't be a "standard." Anyway, getting lighter skin is supposedly desirable, but monolids have, for a long while, been appreciated. You can find plenty of celebrities with monolids. 4. Koreans are not getting double-eyelids because they want to look western. Having bigger-looking eyes makes people look youthful and cute and whatever; that's the aesthetic they want. You can argue that a white man fucked things up and started all this, but the intent of this surgery clearly had been changed and thus it is not relevant anymore. We aren't prostitutes or travelers trying to appease American soldiers. 5. Overall, it's clear you barely know anything about Korea, its beauty standards, and society.
I feel like being "ugly" is a choice. Because once upon a time you were fine. You felt like you weren't ugly. But untill somebody came up to you and put that thought into your mind.

It's also ironic since throughout history beauty was probably the not as sought out as much as it is now because if you think about it a pretty face was probably not what kept you safe and your children fed lol
@@janewick509 like the amount of people telling the woman who made the video "no, you're beautiful, you don't need surgery," etc. when the whole point of the video is that she realized beauty is not the benchmark of human value and life experience. that there are far more important, meaningful and constructive things in life than valuing yourself based on how beautiful or ugly the society, beauty standards or people around you say you are.
@@NikolaTheodore it’s not that they missed the point of the video, they feel bad and upset that she believes she is ugly due to beauty standards, so people choose to write “comfort comments,”. And it is true, she’s beautiful, but that doesn’t mean they missed the point of the video, most people here just felt bad for her low self esteem.
sadly, thats not true... in korea, im pretty sure when applying for jobs and stuff you have to have a photo of you and sometimes your appearance will be the reason you get the job or you dont.
@@lile2338 that's why she said that, because plastic surgery is now a norm, it gets so normal and even used for the reason you mentioned. Despite in fact, it's for cosmetic purposes. So it is true.
You know why. Its that ppl I the world think every race in the world has a certain body type and that it gets determined by what body shape a person has is where the come from. Including stereotypes about what skin tone is best and rich and which one is poor. So that's why
It's funny how these Kpop idols preach so much about loving yourself and being natural yet they themselves got plastic surgery to become stars. How ironic.
Yes, but they can’t change the Korean system. There you can only become a star if you look perfect enough. Maybe they only wanted to sing but were made to have a plastic surgery
@@yn9229 lmao what? What you said doesn't make any sense. Why would you want to change parts of your body? Obviously it's because you don't love your body and can't accept it as it is. You don't think it's pretty and that's why you wanna change it and make it pretty. Why else would you wanna change something that you like or think is beautiful?
@@driftingsnow23 there’s a difference between loving yourself and thinking you are perfect. It’s the same way for other people, you love your mom but you know there’s things she can improve on. I think as long as you change yourself for the sake of you and not someone else, that’s still self love, and plus self love isn’t only about appearance. Well, this is just my perspective, you can think differently.
I’m korean and I naturally have double eyelids. But I get comments asking me if it’s real and I get shit from people saying that I got it done no doubt. It’s honestly upsetting how people just assume things like that. Every person is different.

The girl : "Stop judging me on my appearance, people!" The people : "Actually, you are a natural beauty." The girl : "I said stop jud...." The people : "Sure! You're not ugly at all. You are very pretty!" The girl : "Please stop...sigh...." These people are the reason why cosmetic industry and entertainment industry have no problem with having a stable future.
@@angelabby2379 "they who said that would always pick the more attractive one given the choice" - that implies that you don't believe that this girl is attractive. I will readily say that of course I would pick the more attractive girl if given the choice. Note that what attracts us, what is "attractive", is more than just physical beauty. (I remember that there was a very pretty girl in my university who was so annoying that every time I saw her I was rolling my eyes inside - her physical attractiveness couldn't override her repellent character. And the same can be true in reverse. But I digress.) Like I said, I obviously would pick the more attractive girl if given the choice. I don't know enough about the girl in the video to say much about her character (although the narration sounds like she's very likable) but just going with physical appearance she would be a top contender for me. I'm not saying this to soothe, I genuinely think that. But that's personal taste. "Beauty lies in the eye of the beholder" as they say. So yes, I "would always pick the more attractive one given the choice" and that could very well be her!
'No one is born ugly, we're just born in a judgemental society.' (Anonymous) (There I edited it, no need to fight. *I don't get why SOME people always find faults at someone.* )
The invention of social media has become the downfall of us all. We were better off not knowing what someone is up to or how many likes they got for their heavily edited "flawless" pictures.
Yup, I experienced being a kid a little before smartphones/social media started taking over (and I miss that brief time period lol, it was like a taste of something that will never likely return). It's gross how easily available all of that pressure is to modern day children and adult people alike. Not healthy at all.
I disagree, social media has only temporarily exaggerated beauty standards. before social media you're judged by your immediate circle of friends. As an asian I was judged for having asian features, or judged by other asians for not being skinny enough ect. as the author of this video said, she felt this way before social media lol. social media only brought this out to a larger platform. but at the same time it brought more awareness to different beauty standards since we can look at people from all over the world. And I find that many at a much younger age are becoming more self aware and preaching self love and acceptance. if one person voices out that they love their flabby tummy then people who watch that person will also slowly learn to accept and love their flabby tummy.
Hi everyone! The response of this video has been, well, overwhelming and humbling. In all honesty, my anxiety was peaking. But reading the comments humanized the numbers, and I felt connected to your anecdotes (thank you so much for sharing). It is not just my story and not just my culture. And it's cool to make a video that resonates with all of you. A note: the title is in past tense because I am working on myself and my traditional view of beauty. I've found happiness in loving how empathetic, creative, and curious I am. These values make me feel beautiful. Thank you for taking the time to watch this video, and I am determined to make more meaningful content in the future ^___^ Crittle
Those beauty standards are just for money. Single eyelid is beautiful and I don’t see why Koreans would want to have a double eyelid or narrow jaw. They are beautiful as they are.
I find it fascinating to see beauty in every culture. I have seen beautiful people among Sudanese recently on a RUclips documentary, among masai in another documentary, native Americans, Chinese, among ancient mummified bodies of previous era and etc. It will be a shame if the world forgets what Koreans really look like and now that you showed us what Koreans from back then looked like, I am now more interested to see more about your culture, beauty and aesthetics. I am sorry for my bad English.
I am an American, I've been watching korean dramas for years. I always thought it was crazy how "normal" the dramas make it seem to have plastic surgery. I'm happy to see another perspective. I think you are beautiful and I'm glad you seem to have found ways to accept and love yourself! 🎉
If thats what you call ugly, what do you call me? You’re all stunning and perfect the way you are no matter what others say or think you are beautiful the way you are created and that’s why we are all unique and beautiful in our own ways plus beauty isn’t always about the appearance, it also about the size of a persons heart when everyone is laughing because of your appearance it means they are the one who is ugly inside and they’re appearance outside will last for a little bit and as they age, they’ll loose their beauty outside so, they’re beautiful for a while and after that, they’ll wake up in reality and everyone will hate their attitude if they still kept their bad attitude and judgemental heart everyone will think of them as a mean old man/lady who lost it’s fame and turned out to be a bad person as they grow old so they’re beauty isn’t permanent, but let me tell you something, true beauty comes from within a persons heart. Your face might age but your heart will never change and that’s the beauty of a persons kind heart So please don’t you dare judge your beauty with your physical appearance because nit every thing is permanent time runs fast we will age a lot but your golden heart will never loose its beauty

Why doesn't this have more views? The video was great! And girl you are very pretty! The eurocentric beauty standard being pushed on everyone is wrong! We need to remember that beauty comes in all shapes, colors and forms!
yall just missed the point of the video, telling her that she's pretty. The point is that it all doesn't matter whether you fit the beauty standard or not. Yet you guys are still judging her. Yes, even telling someone they're pretty is still judging their appearance.
This is what I'm talking about,, saying "if you're ugly, then I'm monster or saying your beautiful but still lowkey comparing does not help at all... argh! I can't express my opinion well
@Jahuko we do.We find comfort in their words if u dont like it just skip the comment this whole video is about not spreading hate and u come under a comment with a POSITIVE message and say things like this.it isn't hard to just scroll past the comment
You dont have to bring yourself down to compliment others ...everyone is unique and beautiful in their own ways... you are beautiful, she is beautiful ,we all are beautiful!❤❤
this made me cry, it truly is that we are born into a world where westernized features are the standards and more and more people feel pressured to fit into that, believing there is something wrong with them. As a Japanese American, I felt this… I hope in the future, we can all embrace our differences of our heritage, and appreciate the beauty in the differences.
In fact, no one is ugly, every person has his own beauty, even the eyes of Koreans or Chinese, or they show there is a special beauty, a reminder that any person, whether beautiful or ugly, tall or short, fat or thin that is what he was born on and not his choice
If people were confident and determined enough in themselves. The society is a massive domino effect. It’s impossible other than promoting a revolution, but unlikely.
the sad truth :/ i’m also korean american and i went through something similar but also different. i used to hate how asian i looked bc i lived in the midwest and was surrounded by only western/white american culture. but then i “discovered” kpop in my freshman year yr of high school and for the first time i was so so happy about being asian, esp korean. but that didn’t last long when i realized i was ugly in korea too. i don’t have double eyelids. my jaw is square, i have a flat and wide nose and i’m short. like 4’11”. so so far off from the “ideal” beauty in korea. and this hit harder than the pain of wanting to be white all through middle school. but strangely enough knowing that western influence is the reason why i’m not considered “pretty” in korea as well makes it easier to bear? like it’s not my fault that i don’t “fit in”. and your video also helped. we’re supposed to look like this. this is how korean people look. like us. yeah ig some ppl do naturally have double eyelids and v shaped jaws and tall nose bridges, but the vast majority of korean look like us. and that’s kind of how we’re supposed to look. and knowing that is actually really comforting. and although i feel like i would’ve eventually come to this conclusion, hearing you tell me this now, that us koreans are supposed to look like how we do now....thank you. i really needed to hear that.❤️
bruh i thought korean have mongols dna so they have high bridge and double eyelid. just like uyghur in china has double eyelids, high nose bridge. probably from turkic admixtures
it interesting to see how a mixed culture Korean felt living in a western country, thank you for the input, as someone who grows up in a western country I didn't feel pressured by my look as I was about my culture and religion (muslim), so I thought my life was painful, it's hard living in a western country without feeling that you are less worthy
@@angelabby2379 It depends. I'm 100% Korean but I was born with natural double eyelids just like my mom. My mom has high nose bridge too but I do not though.
@@angelabby2379 High nose bridge yeah if you look at the yayoi people which are said to be “Koreans” who passed through the peninsula to Japan but double eyelids not really because mongols, manchu, and etc are nomads who lived in colder regions so double eyelids was less common compared to let’s say southeast asians. Koreans possible share some genetic link to northern asians and possibly central asians. images.app.goo.gl/3MEEiE1rdUuyb3CUA The yayoi people aka the “Koreans” are to the right.
You are fine, I am fine, we ARE fine. The fact that we’re grateful for being ourselves is enough. Everyone is beautiful. Beauty is only a preference. You can’t say rose is the most beautiful flower in the world, or daisy, or lily etc. every flowers are beautiful on its own, just like us. We can never be beautiful without the diversity.
I love how you pick flowers as the methaphor. I sometimes dont like my face and figures and the flowers story that you told make me realize that everyone is beautiful on its own. Thank you 🌻🌻🌻
FACTS - your culture is what makes you Korean, the beauty standards are not even realistic for Koreans and that’s more than ok. Asians with monolids and a square jaw are just as stunning, sometimes even more stunning❤️
I'm not even asian but this made me emotional! Thank you for sharing this. I hope more people start thinking the way you do. We are all truly beautiful and we should all love ourselves! South Korea is so interesting and beautiful and so much more than just kpop. Thank you again!

I’m a korean born in Germany and I relate to this so much. In primary school I used to hate that I was “asian” and look different then all the other white girls in my class. During middle school it got better because I discovered K-Pop, but now it was a problem that I didn’t look “korean” enough. I have darker skin than all these korean celebrities and the majority of my relatives and so I got now mocked by my relatives, korean and white friends for looking like “an indian” or “south east asian” (I don’t want to offend here ANYONE because every race and color us beautiful) but it hurt because I AM a korean but didn’t fit the typical “beauty standard” or the look of the “stereotypical korean”. I got now insecure in being korean yet again because I felt like I let people down by not looking like the typical korean or how they would expect a korean to look like.
I am sorry you have to experience that. I am german myself but half half (other side is nigerian). I can feel your pain. The shaming was within my family, my father wanted me to lose weight all the time, when he saw me after many years, the first thing that came out his mouth was: She really should watch her weight, she is too big !! And when i was little, i could feel that he was "happy" because i look so "white" 😒. In nigeria people also want to have fairer skin. But still i was never enough for either side. I was told i will never be white and i am also not black enough. Like can we have a break 🙄

So I’m Southeast Asian, and everyone in Southeast Asia, East Asia, or wherever really love pale skin, like really pale skin. I am still facing some difficulties about accepting my skin color and I was wondering if Koreans really are as pale as actresses or idols, bc Ik they get beauty procedures and makeup. Btw, I’m not saying to be rude and I’m not expecting Koreans to look like idols. I was curious because I live in America so really the only Koreans I see are the perfect porcelain skinned ones online. it’s been a bit hard for me bc I feel so inferior to the the “beautiful” Asians and used to wish so much I looked like idols and had perfect face, skin, etc like them.
I was never a model Korean either: brown, round eyes, and a round nose -- ostracized and belittled by my own flesh and blood, I was literally the black sheep of the community. Mind you, I grew up in Korea during early to late 90s in which the general populace was more ignorant than a brick wall. Yes, it did bother me quite a bit, but now, IDGAF. Dark meat tastes better and has more character anyway. Ask any chicken.
I'm Korean, and lived in Korea for almost my entire life, but her face never looks ugly. She looks beautiful. I am very sure that many Korean people would think she is pretty. It is not good to see people who are not from Korea talking about Korean beauty standards as they know about it so well and insulting Korea. This video doesn't represent the entire Korea. Just please be aware that you don't know every part of Korea.
She hasn't insulted Korea at any time... It's not okay to be so nationalist, she's just telling her experience and is as valid as any other's experience. And actually there's a lot of videos of Koreans talking about the pressure of beauty standards, it's very good that those standards are changing, but you shouldn't go so far as to say that she's insulting the country because it's not the case. Peace ✌️
@@kitten--4784 YES she is insulting Korea as she keep saying that she wanted to get a plastic surgery because she doesn’t fit in “Korea beauty standard”. And YES korea has some toxic culture that need to be changed but she didn’t talk about the real issue but only blamed her personal complex on her mother country.
This video really made me cry because i relate to almost everything you said here. iv'e only recently decided to stop trying to look like what society calls "beautiful" and i'm trying to learn to love myself more. thank you for sharing this. i'm glad that i'm not alone on this journey to self love and acceptance💕
한국적인 외모요?그게 뭐죠? 쌍커풀이 없고 그런 서양의 외적 요건과 반대인거요? 도대체 댓글에서도 그렇고 왜 이렇게 다들 아이돌에서부터 일반인들까지 한국인을 잡고늘어지는지...한국에서 성형이 많이 이루어지는 것은 맞지만, 한국인의 다수가 성형을 하는 건 아니에요. 타국에서 멀리 성형하러 오는 사람들이 얼마나 많은데 강남 일대에서 조금만 돌아다녀 보면 압니다 설령 우리나라 사람들이 성형을 많이 했다고 해도, 그게 한 나라의 역사와 문화를 싸잡아 욕할 정도인가요? 심지어 현지인들도 아닌 사람들이?
@@peachesby not the point. If these kind of videos are just a few, i would be glad to accept it. But these days, I see too many videos about biased Korean culture by ppl who havent really experienced it or just by som K drama or Kpop Our society is aware of our flaws and im sure that the new generation is here to fix it.HOWEVER foreign people who do not fully understand our culture and takes advantage of these kind of international platforms to make the world aware that everything we built,flourished is just full of shit drives me crazy. I live in Korea and the reaction when I showed this video to my peers-Gen Z they were MAD. I MEAN we are tired starting from the nonsense white washing I- I KNOW that this girl had an important experience and I am here to accept it and take it as a lesson but there is no need to generalize one country’s culture with this single video And i see the comments as the main problem not the video it self.
@@bithoff6930 I am a korean and I understand the comments 100%. Koreans tend to take criticism too personally due to our strong nationalism. First, it's youtube that people around the world watches and comments, so most of them do not look down on Korea just because they are only very few that watch these kind of videos. The creator of this vid does not seem to have a malicious intention to harm Korea anyways in that this vid is more about being vulnerable as an asian american. Second, It is a true fact that Korea's lookism is way worse than the other countries' and it is hard to know how serious it is as a korean because we grow up with those social influences and take them for granted. It's good to hear that gen z is making a change but you may admit that nothing can easily change dramatically. Also I lately read a book and I learned that the part of this video where the youtuber explains about how the double eyelids surgery started and all that (starting from the american doctor of a military base in Korea) is an accurate historical fact most of Koreans are still not aware of. I moved a country and I was also bummed when people around me generally do not even think of surgeries to "fix" their appearance -- actually some people rather fix their body than face, but still they do not talk about surgeries very openly like we do in Korea just because it is not considered common thing to do unless you are a celeb. Most people would get shocked to hear the stories that many of high school students in Korea consider cosmetic surgeries before going into colleges.
Beauty is not just about looks. A kind, open personality and confidence make anyone beautiful. Don’t compare yourself to other people, everyone, you are one of a kind! At the end of the day, the people who matter most - your family and friends - love you, so what does the opinion of strangers matter? Black, White, Asian, Hispanic and everything in between, we are all the unique product of two loving artists - our parents 🙌🏻

I wish everyone could be at peace with the way they looked. I seriously hate beauty standards. They’re so damaging to people. You are perfect they way you are!
I went to South Korea in 1987 before the cosmetic surgery craze exploded there. Ladies with natural Korean features were literally everywhere I looked. I couldn't have thrown a rock in any direction without hitting a drop dead gorgeous girl. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, sweetie. Love and respect yourself and others will likely follow suit.
I am Korean and she is not ugly at all... I don't know why she thought that. Judging by her writing Korean in 3:52 I don't think she has lived in Korea or experienced Korea enough. How can she think that she doesn't look "Korean" enough when she doesn't even know about Korea a lot? You guys are saying that Korean beauty standards are abnormal with your views on Kpop and this video, but in the actual world it's not like that at all. For me, I was surprised with Americans wearing so much makeup that made them look like dolls. We need to focus on the beauty standards in general and not just make fun of Korean beauty standards. For some of you that are saying that Koreans look exactly the same, yes, most asians have dark hair and dark eyes and have a smaller range of height and skin color compared to other races. When I moved to America a few years ago I couldn't tell the difference between people that had similar hair color, skin color, and height. As time went by(?) I got more used to telling people apart but it's still a problem for me. Like me, just because you cannot tell between Kpop Idols doesn't mean they look the same to everyone... sorry if my english is wrong in some places
I think it's a fact how we all see ourselves as ugly. Nobody likes their own face. I myself struggle with my appearance. There's that sudden burst of confidence that keeps me going. I just wanna tell y'all that we're all more beautiful than we think we are.❤️
That's not really true. The truth is that some people aren't naturally attractive. This girl doesn't have this issue but there are people out there that can be considered 'ugly' and I don't think I need to give examples.
I have always really liked my face even though not many people like it too much. And it's not about confidence either because i find my body too disproportionate.
@@zah936 well that's really lucky for you❤️. But I'm someone who gets fair amount of compliments on my looks but still finds it hard to be okay with myself. Every picture of mine looks ugly to me. And then i realised how I'm not the only one who is going thru this trauma. It's common. Body dysmorphia is common. And the only cure is to try and love yourself. One of the hardest things to do.
Im an Asian too ( but not Korean) but experienced the same thing : big jawline, big lips, hooked eyes and dark skin tone. My aunt even once told me that I was ugly and jealous of her daughter just because she has white skin and I don't :((. I used to be self-concious about my apperance so I studied so hard with the hope that it would compensate my look, but it just after I got into a really big-named uni that I got a chance to do plastic surgery to get double eyelids, I took care of my look more. My life changed completely after that, people stared talking to me first, helped me even before I asked for. My personality is more out-going now and it's easy to make friends too. It's sad truth but it's true. You are a strong girl, just wish that I had that confidence to bear with those judgement :((
I hope that ALL koreans love their features without even questioning or getting influenced by the Americans (westerns) or plsurgery beauty standards, y'all are unique on your own BEAUTIFUL way. Changed the words a bit but same meaning, because in 2021 people find wrong on any comment, even a positive one.
Well, I think everyone wants to be beautiful regardless of them being Korean or not, but one thing I really want to point out is that a lot of Koreans don't want to become like western people. There is a set beauty standard in Korea shaped by things like culture and long history, and we want to be like THAT, not become like western people. Just wanted to point that out, but I agree. I think everyone should love themselves more.

"The Ugliness is in the eyes of who sees people as ugly"
-(Not my Quote)
some random rm quote
It's natural to think of what we see as being beautiful, pretty, plain, unattractive, ugly, etc. Like, comparing flowers, buildings, homes, dogs, cats, humans. Or which color of the rainbow you like better. Or choosing a pet dog/cat. Or choosing someone to date. Etc.
So if it's not OK to think of something as being ugly, what do you call something you find unattractive? Ex. That is an
@@ronc9413 I think the point is that ugliness is subjective -- rather than that it's not okay to say something is ugly.
@@ronc9413 The fact that something is natural doesn't automatically make it ok. Beauty is completely subjective. That's why fashion and physical ideals change all the time. Beauty standards can be influenced by the era and culture. Since it is a subjective matter, saying that someone is not attractive to you is much more accurate and a lot less cruel. No matter whether you find someone attractive or not, they had no choice in what life has given them and choosing to ignore that fact is, in my opinion, ugly and cruel.
@@luckyblume2116 Of course, beauty is “subjective” or “in the eye of the beholder”. There is no right or wrong opinion. You aren’t ugly if you think someone is ugly. And, conversely, you aren’t beautiful if you think someone is beautiful. It’s just what you think, according to “what you like”/preferences. For example, some people think Kim Kardashian looks beautiful. While other people think Kim Kardashian looks ugly. You are not a bad person if you think someone is unattractive. You can’t force your opinion onto other people (exception if what you believe in would cause someone to die). It’s like telling someone, who doesn’t want to date tall people, they are a bad person and they have to like tall people.
Actually there are no ugly people. Cause "beauty" depends from personal point of view. Everyone has their inner beauty, no matter what they say. Just be yourself. :)

As an “older” person, I feel terrible for the younger generation these days. I grew up before this wave of Korean culture and although there were beauty standards while I was growing up, I never felt the need to change who I was. There was no social media, no RUclips, no makeup tutorials. With the rise of Kpop, it’s changed the way young Asian girls and boys think of themselves. Doing extreme things just to meet Asian beauty standards which are pretty much impossible to attain without plastic surgery. The worst part? These celebrities, of all ethnicities tend to say that they never went under the knife. It’s disgusting, and it’s sad that media has made so many people think they’re ugly when they’re not.

@lob ops Beauty is pretty much arbitrary for the most part, what someone considers attractive is mainly affected by the environment they grow up in. If someone grew up their whole lives without knowing what a European looked like they wouldn’t be attracted to those features, they would find them foreign and unattractive. American media is king currently, so American beauty standards are going to be preferred across the world.

For example, if there were two person with the exact same personality, u’d want to date the more handsome one. And if u r pretty, its a real blessing cuz some people wanna be an actor but cant because of their faces and some people still judge people’s faces on job interviews. If u take example of a doll, say there’s two dolls with the same price and one is more cuter. Which one would you wanna buy? Most people would buy the cuter one. We can’t change this kind of mind cuz we r born with it. We CAN think that someone is ugly but if u SAY it to that person or treat them DIFFERENTLY just because of their outside, online or offline, that’s what’s RUDE.

She’s pretty, it’s just that her beauty is not “fit” in the korean beauty standard. Nonetheless, she is really attractive.
@SASA SASA Wtf im tried of this shit She is talking about life in the US at the time not in korea
You guys are always make it relate with Plastic surgery whenever somebody talking about Beauty or Just korea, Can i ask what's your nationality is?
I am Asian and I endorse this answer. She's just not beautiful in Asian standard, but might be considered pretty in western society.
@@letstalkabouttheworld400 i mean she's also talking about the current beauty standards in korea --- and the popularity of plastic surgery. there's nothing wrong with that, but you can't deny south korea has a booming and normalized plastic surgery economy.
@SASA SASA Korean beauty standard it’s too much for Koreans that’s why everyone one be looking the same! It’s so sad because people are losing individuality and don’t realize that everyone’s beautiful. It’s so toxic and no wonder suicide rates are high in the eastern world. Wish people will start appreciate more their looks however until white people are in the center of everything it will be hard to accept diversity such as dark skin as beautiful and desirable or monolids as elegant and sophisticated. I don’t want to bring this up everytime but it’s true that Colonialism fucked things up for everyone. With the white woman at the centre of female beauty black women, south Asian women and East Asians women try to get close to those standards by bleaching, wearing waves, rhinoplasty, and having double eyelids surgery. Now some of you think that double eyelids isn’t necessarily a white thing which is true but it is the white man that brainwashed Koreans in having double eyelids during the Korean War.
@@lousdinovembre There is so much wrong in your comment.
1. Conformity, trends, beauty standards are a thing, like everywhere else, but it does not mean everyone looks the same. Most Koreans don't even get surgery.
2. What beauty standard in any country isn't toxic? How are beauty standards even pushing massive numbers of people to commit suicide? Have you considered there are other deeper issues like poor mental health awareness?
3. Beauty standards at its core leaves little to no room for diversity in any country. Otherwise, it wouldn't be a "standard." Anyway, getting lighter skin is supposedly desirable, but monolids have, for a long while, been appreciated. You can find plenty of celebrities with monolids.
4. Koreans are not getting double-eyelids because they want to look western. Having bigger-looking eyes makes people look youthful and cute and whatever; that's the aesthetic they want. You can argue that a white man fucked things up and started all this, but the intent of this surgery clearly had been changed and thus it is not relevant anymore. We aren't prostitutes or travelers trying to appease American soldiers.
5. Overall, it's clear you barely know anything about Korea, its beauty standards, and society.
I feel like being "ugly" is a choice. Because once upon a time you were fine. You felt like you weren't ugly. But untill somebody came up to you and put that thought into your mind.

True!
@@NikolaTheodore it’s not that they missed the point of the video, they feel bad and upset that she believes she is ugly due to beauty standards, so people choose to write “comfort comments,”. And it is true, she’s beautiful, but that doesn’t mean they missed the point of the video, most people here just felt bad for her low self esteem.
its sad that plastic surgery is considered a must for some people now, but it is actually only for cosmetic purpose.
sadly, thats not true... in korea, im pretty sure when applying for jobs and stuff you have to have a photo of you and sometimes your appearance will be the reason you get the job or you dont.
@@lile2338 that's why she said that, because plastic surgery is now a norm, it gets so normal and even used for the reason you mentioned. Despite in fact, it's for cosmetic purposes. So it is true.

Yes, but they can’t change the Korean system. There you can only become a star if you look perfect enough. Maybe they only wanted to sing but were made to have a plastic surgery
there's nothing wrong with plastic surgery, some were forced to get it bc of their company ceos
Just bc someone gets surgery does not mean they don’t love themselves..
@@yn9229 lmao what? What you said doesn't make any sense. Why would you want to change parts of your body? Obviously it's because you don't love your body and can't accept it as it is. You don't think it's pretty and that's why you wanna change it and make it pretty. Why else would you wanna change something that you like or think is beautiful?
@@driftingsnow23 there’s a difference between loving yourself and thinking you are perfect. It’s the same way for other people, you love your mom but you know there’s things she can improve on. I think as long as you change yourself for the sake of you and not someone else, that’s still self love, and plus self love isn’t only about appearance. Well, this is just my perspective, you can think differently.
I’m korean and I naturally have double eyelids. But I get comments asking me if it’s real and I get shit from people saying that I got it done no doubt. It’s honestly upsetting how people just assume things like that. Every person is different.

My man, exactly the point I want to raise
lol 1000000 times this. The comments on this video missed the point.
i wish They actually mean it :0. at then end of the day they who said that would always pick the more attractive one given the choice
@@angelabby2379 "they who said that would always pick the more attractive one given the choice" - that implies that you don't believe that this girl is attractive.
I will readily say that of course I would pick the more attractive girl if given the choice. Note that what attracts us, what is "attractive", is more than just physical beauty. (I remember that there was a very pretty girl in my university who was so annoying that every time I saw her I was rolling my eyes inside - her physical attractiveness couldn't override her repellent character. And the same can be true in reverse. But I digress.)
Like I said, I obviously would pick the more attractive girl if given the choice. I don't know enough about the girl in the video to say much about her character (although the narration sounds like she's very likable) but just going with physical appearance she would be a top contender for me. I'm not saying this to soothe, I genuinely think that. But that's personal taste. "Beauty lies in the eye of the beholder" as they say.
So yes, I "would always pick the more attractive one given the choice" and that could very well be her!
Super well said

The invention of social media has become the downfall of us all. We were better off not knowing what someone is up to or how many likes they got for their heavily edited "flawless" pictures.
Yup, I experienced being a kid a little before smartphones/social media started taking over (and I miss that brief time period lol, it was like a taste of something that will never likely return). It's gross how easily available all of that pressure is to modern day children and adult people alike. Not healthy at all.
Yes, there were no beauty standards before social media. Fkng social media (((((((((((
@@alohaal7125 there have always been beauty standards before the internet was even invented.
Well... I would say I agree... but depends on the people too. Ppl really needs to stop to listening to others. Everybody has flaws.
I disagree, social media has only temporarily exaggerated beauty standards. before social media you're judged by your immediate circle of friends. As an asian I was judged for having asian features, or judged by other asians for not being skinny enough ect. as the author of this video said, she felt this way before social media lol. social media only brought this out to a larger platform. but at the same time it brought more awareness to different beauty standards since we can look at people from all over the world. And I find that many at a much younger age are becoming more self aware and preaching self love and acceptance. if one person voices out that they love their flabby tummy then people who watch that person will also slowly learn to accept and love their flabby tummy.
it's not only korean culture, beauty standars are just toxic no matter what.
Hi everyone! The response of this video has been, well, overwhelming and humbling. In all honesty, my anxiety was peaking. But reading the comments humanized the numbers, and I felt connected to your anecdotes (thank you so much for sharing). It is not just my story and not just my culture. And it's cool to make a video that resonates with all of you.
A note: the title is in past tense because I am working on myself and my traditional view of beauty. I've found happiness in loving how empathetic, creative, and curious I am. These values make me feel beautiful.
Thank you for taking the time to watch this video, and I am determined to make more meaningful content in the future ^___^
Crittle
Those beauty standards are just for money. Single eyelid is beautiful and I don’t see why Koreans would want to have a double eyelid or narrow jaw. They are beautiful as they are.
I find it fascinating to see beauty in every culture. I have seen beautiful people among Sudanese recently on a RUclips documentary, among masai in another documentary, native Americans, Chinese, among ancient mummified bodies of previous era and etc. It will be a shame if the world forgets what Koreans really look like and now that you showed us what Koreans from back then looked like, I am now more interested to see more about your culture, beauty and aesthetics. I am sorry for my bad English.
I am an American, I've been watching korean dramas for years. I always thought it was crazy how "normal" the dramas make it seem to have plastic surgery. I'm happy to see another perspective. I think you are beautiful and I'm glad you seem to have found ways to accept and love yourself! 🎉
If thats what you call ugly, what do you call me? You’re all stunning and perfect the way you are no matter what others say or think you are beautiful the way you are created and that’s why we are all unique and beautiful in our own ways plus beauty isn’t always about the appearance, it also about the size of a persons heart when everyone is laughing because of your appearance it means they are the one who is ugly inside and they’re appearance outside will last for a little bit and as they age, they’ll loose their beauty outside so, they’re beautiful for a while and after that, they’ll wake up in reality and everyone will hate their attitude if they still kept their bad attitude and judgemental heart everyone will think of them as a mean old man/lady who lost it’s fame and turned out to be a bad person as they grow old so they’re beauty isn’t permanent, but let me tell you something, true beauty comes from within a persons heart. Your face might age but your heart will never change and that’s the beauty of a persons kind heart
So please don’t you dare judge your beauty with your physical appearance because nit every thing is permanent time runs fast we will age a lot but your golden heart will never loose its beauty
You're so pretty. And your voice is just so sweet.
I watch a lot of Korean Dramas and the most of the lead actresses have had cosmetic surgery to meet this Korean standard of beauty.

Why doesn't this have more views? The video was great! And girl you are very pretty! The eurocentric beauty standard being pushed on everyone is wrong! We need to remember that beauty comes in all shapes, colors and forms!
Agreed.
How are the " european beauty standards" at fault when this young woman will be considered pretty everywhere in Europe?
yall just missed the point of the video, telling her that she's pretty. The point is that it all doesn't matter whether you fit the beauty standard or not. Yet you guys are still judging her. Yes, even telling someone they're pretty is still judging their appearance.
Yup it's still judging
For me there are no pretty or ugly. We are "normal"
This is what I'm talking about,, saying "if you're ugly, then I'm monster or saying your beautiful but still lowkey comparing does not help at all... argh! I can't express my opinion well

imagine seeing someone pretty and then thinking “ugly”
In fact, no one is ugly, every person has his own beauty, even the eyes of Koreans or Chinese, or they show there is a special beauty, a reminder that any person, whether beautiful or ugly, tall or short, fat or thin that is what he was born on and not his choice
If people were confident and determined enough in themselves. The society is a massive domino effect. It’s impossible other than promoting a revolution, but unlikely.
"whether beautiful or ugly" wait what
As my dad used to say, "Live the way your were born. You are beautiful!!"
So sad that these standards change our perception of ourselves so much. She is clearly beautiful to me.
the sad truth :/ i’m also korean american and i went through something similar but also different. i used to hate how asian i looked bc i lived in the midwest and was surrounded by only western/white american culture. but then i “discovered” kpop in my freshman year yr of high school and for the first time i was so so happy about being asian, esp korean. but that didn’t last long when i realized i was ugly in korea too. i don’t have double eyelids. my jaw is square, i have a flat and wide nose and i’m short. like 4’11”. so so far off from the “ideal” beauty in korea. and this hit harder than the pain of wanting to be white all through middle school. but strangely enough knowing that western influence is the reason why i’m not considered “pretty” in korea as well makes it easier to bear? like it’s not my fault that i don’t “fit in”. and your video also helped. we’re supposed to look like this. this is how korean people look. like us. yeah ig some ppl do naturally have double eyelids and v shaped jaws and tall nose bridges, but the vast majority of korean look like us. and that’s kind of how we’re supposed to look. and knowing that is actually really comforting. and although i feel like i would’ve eventually come to this conclusion, hearing you tell me this now, that us koreans are supposed to look like how we do now....thank you. i really needed to hear that.❤️
bruh i thought korean have mongols dna so they have high bridge and double eyelid.
just like uyghur in china has double eyelids, high nose bridge. probably from turkic admixtures
it interesting to see how a mixed culture Korean felt living in a western country, thank you for the input, as someone who grows up in a western country I didn't feel pressured by my look as I was about my culture and religion (muslim), so I thought my life was painful, it's hard living in a western country without feeling that you are less worthy

I’m a korean born in Germany and I relate to this so much. In primary school I used to hate that I was “asian” and look different then all the other white girls in my class. During middle school it got better because I discovered K-Pop, but now it was a problem that I didn’t look “korean” enough. I have darker skin than all these korean celebrities and the majority of my relatives and so I got now mocked by my relatives, korean and white friends for looking like “an indian” or “south east asian” (I don’t want to offend here ANYONE because every race and color us beautiful) but it hurt because I AM a korean but didn’t fit the typical “beauty standard” or the look of the “stereotypical korean”. I got now insecure in being korean yet again because I felt like I let people down by not looking like the typical korean or how they would expect a korean to look like.
yeah just the other video about differentiations korean china japan, they said all 6 korean in the test doesn't look like korean. i was like bruh!
I am sorry you have to experience that. I am german myself but half half (other side is nigerian). I can feel your pain. The shaming was within my family, my father wanted me to lose weight all the time, when he saw me after many years, the first thing that came out his mouth was: She really should watch her weight, she is too big !! And when i was little, i could feel that he was "happy" because i look so "white" 😒. In nigeria people also want to have fairer skin. But still i was never enough for either side.

hey, I was wondering about something, and please don’t answer if you aren’t comfortable with it! So I’m Southeast Asian, and everyone in Southeast Asia, East Asia, or wherever really love pale skin, like really pale skin. I am still facing some difficulties about accepting my skin color and I was wondering if Koreans really are as pale as actresses or idols, bc Ik they get beauty procedures and makeup. Btw, I’m not saying to be rude and I’m not expecting Koreans to look like idols. I was curious because I live in America so really the only Koreans I see are the perfect porcelain skinned ones online. it’s been a bit hard for me bc I feel so inferior to the the “beautiful” Asians and used to wish so much I looked like idols and had perfect face, skin, etc like them.
I was never a model Korean either: brown, round eyes, and a round nose -- ostracized and belittled by my own flesh and blood, I was literally the black sheep of the community. Mind you, I grew up in Korea during early to late 90s in which the general populace was more ignorant than a brick wall. Yes, it did bother me quite a bit, but now, IDGAF. Dark meat tastes better and has more character anyway. Ask any chicken.
HI FRIENDSHIP 🍼🐷🇯🇵
To be like idols she just need make up as they do. Girl is pretty, has a nice skin and hair, her face really far from ugly!!!
Don't force yourself to wear fancy makeup like an idol.
I'm Korean, and lived in Korea for almost my entire life, but her face never looks ugly. She looks beautiful. I am very sure that many Korean people would think she is pretty. It is not good to see people who are not from Korea talking about Korean beauty standards as they know about it so well and insulting Korea. This video doesn't represent the entire Korea. Just please be aware that you don't know every part of Korea.
She hasn't insulted Korea at any time...
It's not okay to be so nationalist, she's just telling her experience and is as valid as any other's experience.
And actually there's a lot of videos of Koreans talking about the pressure of beauty standards, it's very good that those standards are changing, but you shouldn't go so far as to say that she's insulting the country because it's not the case.
Peace ✌️
@@kitten--4784 YES she is insulting Korea as she keep saying that she wanted to get a plastic surgery because she doesn’t fit in “Korea beauty standard”. And YES korea has some toxic culture that need to be changed but she didn’t talk about the real issue but only blamed her personal complex on her mother country.
thank you for informing!
beauty standards is funny, it's about the people who have heart that know an actual beauty
that's the most rarest and the most purest form of love.
This video really made me cry because i relate to almost everything you said here. iv'e only recently decided to stop trying to look like what society calls "beautiful" and i'm trying to learn to love myself more. thank you for sharing this. i'm glad that i'm not alone on this journey to self love and acceptance💕
Says the beautiful girl 🙄
This is empowering
This is happiness
This is hard
THIS MY FRIENDS IS SELF LOVE❤
한국적인 외모요?그게 뭐죠? 쌍커풀이 없고 그런 서양의 외적 요건과 반대인거요?
도대체 댓글에서도 그렇고 왜 이렇게 다들 아이돌에서부터 일반인들까지 한국인을 잡고늘어지는지...한국에서 성형이 많이 이루어지는 것은 맞지만, 한국인의 다수가 성형을 하는 건 아니에요. 타국에서 멀리 성형하러 오는 사람들이 얼마나 많은데 강남 일대에서 조금만 돌아다녀 보면 압니다
설령 우리나라 사람들이 성형을 많이 했다고 해도, 그게 한 나라의 역사와 문화를 싸잡아 욕할 정도인가요? 심지어 현지인들도 아닌 사람들이?
ㄹㅇ

@@peachesby not the point. If these kind of videos are just a few, i would be glad to accept it. But these days, I see too many videos about biased Korean culture by ppl who havent really experienced it or just by som K drama or Kpop
Our society is aware of our flaws and im sure that the new generation is here to fix it.HOWEVER foreign people who do not fully understand our culture and takes advantage of these kind of international platforms to make the world aware that everything we built,flourished is just full of shit drives me crazy.
I live in Korea and the reaction when I showed this video to my peers-Gen Z
they were MAD.
I MEAN we are tired starting from the nonsense white washing I-
I KNOW that this girl had an important experience and I am here to accept it and take it as a lesson but there is no need to generalize one country’s culture with this single video
And i see the comments as the main problem not the video it self.
@@bithoff6930 I am a korean and I understand the comments 100%. Koreans tend to take criticism too personally due to our strong nationalism. First, it's youtube that people around the world watches and comments, so most of them do not look down on Korea just because they are only very few that watch these kind of videos. The creator of this vid does not seem to have a malicious intention to harm Korea anyways in that this vid is more about being vulnerable as an asian american. Second, It is a true fact that Korea's lookism is way worse than the other countries' and it is hard to know how serious it is as a korean because we grow up with those social influences and take them for granted. It's good to hear that gen z is making a change but you may admit that nothing can easily change dramatically. Also I lately read a book and I learned that the part of this video where the youtuber explains about how the double eyelids surgery started and all that (starting from the american doctor of a military base in Korea) is an accurate historical fact most of Koreans are still not aware of.
I moved a country and I was also bummed when people around me generally do not even think of surgeries to "fix" their appearance -- actually some people rather fix their body than face, but still they do not talk about surgeries very openly like we do in Korea just because it is not considered common thing to do unless you are a celeb. Most people would get shocked to hear the stories that many of high school students in Korea consider cosmetic surgeries before going into colleges.
Beauty is not just about looks. A kind, open personality and confidence make anyone beautiful. Don’t compare yourself to other people, everyone, you are one of a kind! At the end of the day, the people who matter most - your family and friends - love you, so what does the opinion of strangers matter? Black, White, Asian, Hispanic and everything in between, we are all the unique product of two loving artists - our parents 🙌🏻
@Sierra x very well said. Thanks for your wise words. I like your name by the way, if it’s really your name.
This needs to be a PSA!!!
I have a hunch that if "foot binding" was still the ideal look, then women who have normal sized feet would feel inferior. It's ridiculous.
lol thats so long ago 👁️👄👁️ like corset waist.
@@angelabby2379 Corsets were demonized, they are not nearly as bad as foot binding
Don't talk about dat!(gets creeped out at the term 'foot binding'🤫😬)
@Miranda lambert ohhh😲😶
I guess beauty standards have always been nuts
Being a Korean don't mean you have to be beautiful.And everyone is beautiful in their own ways
미국 군인한테 잘보이려고 쌍수가 유행했다는건 비약이 좀 심한듯요
그러게요 ..
그러게요 ㅋㅋㅋㅋ2000년대 초반까지 성형수술은 일부 연예인들이나 사람들 몰래 하는 수술이었음. 그당시까지 성형에 대해 굉장히 부정적이었고 성형하면 인조인간이라고 사람들이 엄청 욕했음. 2010년부터 조금씩 대중화가 시작되었는데 아이러니하게도 한국의 미에서 제일 중요한게 자연스러움이라 서양인처럼 부담스럽게 크게하는거 싫어했고 눈매교정이나 원래 쌍커플이 있는 한국인처럼 성형하는게 대부분임. 모든 한국인이 홀커플이 아니기때문에 한국에서 이쁘다 생각되는 ‘한국인’ 눈매들에 맞춘거지 그게 서양인기준이 절대 아니었음 ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
한국인이 서양인들 “사진” 보고 이쁘다고 생각하는건 맞지만 그렇다고 성형을 서양인처럼 되고싶어 한다는 ㅈㄴ 논리 비약이 심함 ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ 우리는 애초에 서양인은 별개였고 절대 닮을 수 없는 다른 세계라 생각하지 서양인처럼 되고싶어한적이 없는뎈ㅋㅋㅋ 그리고 한국인 중에서도 이목구비가 서양인처럼 뚜렷하면 “징그럽다” “부담스럽게 생겼다” 라고 했고 실제로 과거엔 한국에서 서양인 보면 “무섭게생겼다” “느끼하다” “엄청 부담스럽다” “부자연스럽다” 등 무서워하는 한국인 엄청 많았다. 지금도 내친구중 몇명은 서양인 실제로 보면 생긴게 무섭다고 말도못함 ㅋㅋㅋㅋ그래도 서양인처럼 되고싶다 생각하고 성형한 사람 있으면 비정상이라고 화성인바이러스에 나오고 그랬음ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
ㅅㅂ 게다가 아니 첫 성형 예시는 한국에주둔하는 미군예시들 들고와서 일반화 ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ아니 일반인들이 미군에서 행해지는 일을 어케아나요? 서양인 이쁘다 말한다고 서양인처럼 되고싶어 성형한다는 ㅈㄴ 논리비약 아닌가요?ㅋㅋㅋㅋ강남 압구정 성형외과 일대는 일반 한국인이 봐도 비정상으로 보는곳인데 아 계속 알람떠서 볼수록 화난다 화나

@@peachesby It's really not the truth dumb fuck.
이거 믿기 싫지만 진실이에요. 저는 최근에 책에서 읽고 충격받아 친구들과 얘기한 적이 있어서 이미 알고있었어요. 물론 현대 대중화 자체부터는 다른 얘긴데, 애초에 쌍커풀 수술 자체가 존재하게 된 근본적인 시작은 david 라는 한 주한미군 부대 의사가 했어요..
I wish everyone could be at peace with the way they looked. I seriously hate beauty standards. They’re so damaging to people. You are perfect they way you are!
💯
Words like that are so around the internet
It doesn't really help
That was the best mindset one can logically make . That's not korean at all. So true!
Take care!
I went to South Korea in 1987 before the cosmetic surgery craze exploded there. Ladies with natural Korean features were literally everywhere I looked. I couldn't have thrown a rock in any direction without hitting a drop dead gorgeous girl. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, sweetie. Love and respect yourself and others will likely follow suit.
You are SO PRETTY!!! Don‘t Listen to these people!!!
Why should she listen to you then?
@@San-jx1zd correct 😂
I am Korean and she is not ugly at all... I don't know why she thought that. Judging by her writing Korean in 3:52 I don't think she has lived in Korea or experienced Korea enough. How can she think that she doesn't look "Korean" enough when she doesn't even know about Korea a lot?
You guys are saying that Korean beauty standards are abnormal with your views on Kpop and this video, but in the actual world it's not like that at all. For me, I was surprised with Americans wearing so much makeup that made them look like dolls. We need to focus on the beauty standards in general and not just make fun of Korean beauty standards.
For some of you that are saying that Koreans look exactly the same, yes, most asians have dark hair and dark eyes and have a smaller range of height and skin color compared to other races. When I moved to America a few years ago I couldn't tell the difference between people that had similar hair color, skin color, and height. As time went by(?) I got more used to telling people apart but it's still a problem for me. Like me, just because you cannot tell between Kpop Idols doesn't mean they look the same to everyone...
sorry if my english is wrong in some places
진짜 쌉인정이요.
@@Solarddun 엌ㅋㅋㅋ 감사합니당
I think it's a fact how we all see ourselves as ugly. Nobody likes their own face. I myself struggle with my appearance. There's that sudden burst of confidence that keeps me going. I just wanna tell y'all that we're all more beautiful than we think we are.❤️
That's not really true. The truth is that some people aren't naturally attractive. This girl doesn't have this issue but there are people out there that can be considered 'ugly' and I don't think I need to give examples.
@@Beandal maybe u r ryt. But many attractive people consider themselves ugly too. And that's heartbreaking.
I have always really liked my face even though not many people like it too much. And it's not about confidence either because i find my body too disproportionate.
@@zah936 well that's really lucky for you❤️. But I'm someone who gets fair amount of compliments on my looks but still finds it hard to be okay with myself. Every picture of mine looks ugly to me. And then i realised how I'm not the only one who is going thru this trauma. It's common. Body dysmorphia is common. And the only cure is to try and love yourself. One of the hardest things to do.
The beauty industries need to make people have insecurities.
Im an Asian too ( but not Korean) but experienced the same thing : big jawline, big lips, hooked eyes and dark skin tone. My aunt even once told me that I was ugly and jealous of her daughter just because she has white skin and I don't :((. I used to be self-concious about my apperance so I studied so hard with the hope that it would compensate my look, but it just after I got into a really big-named uni that I got a chance to do plastic surgery to get double eyelids, I took care of my look more. My life changed completely after that, people stared talking to me first, helped me even before I asked for. My personality is more out-going now and it's easy to make friends too. It's sad truth but it's true. You are a strong
girl, just wish that I had that confidence to bear with those judgement :((
no one is born ugly, we're just born in a judgemental society. - kim namjoon
we're born to be real not to be perfect - min yoongi
@Salma Adams why?
@Salma Adams first you stop
Why this video is Suddenly recommended to us !
But I love it, you're beautiful seriously
I hope that ALL koreans love their features without even questioning or getting influenced by the Americans (westerns) or plsurgery beauty standards, y'all are unique on your own BEAUTIFUL way.
Changed the words a bit but same meaning, because in 2021 people find wrong on any comment, even a positive one.
Well, I think everyone wants to be beautiful regardless of them being Korean or not, but one thing I really want to point out is that a lot of Koreans don't want to become like western people. There is a set beauty standard in Korea shaped by things like culture and long history, and we want to be like THAT, not become like western people. Just wanted to point that out, but I agree. I think everyone should love themselves more.
You do know that Americans consists of different races right?
@@puppchenschnuppchen4984 Yes I know it very well BUT here I am talking about Hollywood actors. They se a beauty standard for everyone, and soldiers back in the days were white americans.
@@두비두밥-p8d But the point is that it all started with an origini and she explained it very beautifully and clear. I lived in Korea for sum time, so I know how the plastic surgery becomes a pressure by time passing. My message is still a positive point for everyone too 😊💗
@@ZihanCovers Yes, that's true.
If she's considered "ugly", then I'm a monster. Girl, you're so beautiful, freaking goddess 💕
