At 6:37 this girl was so true it’s called pretty privilege and it’s a real thing people first expressions are your looks so with you being the standard I’ll say you have a easier social life
it's called the blackpill look it up, looks are everything people just don't want to say it.
I born in Korean when I was kid I get so many free stuff cause I was good looking kid is crazy how people who born good looking get treat good but people who unattractive treat the like shit korea got good culture but k pop is ruining they own culture
@@mrwolf9779 You went from talking about pretty privileges to something totally different. I'm confused. 😅
i love how chill you are and make everyone feel at ease so they can answer honestly
A m i the only who thought that the girl t 4:36 contradicted herself by saying she has no beauty standards but went on to state them in the next sentence after being asked what her beauty standards are?
Ow yes you'e right !
yea but it's not cool to say that you have these standards, i guess thats why she said no
That girl at the end was the smartest and most clear about her thoughts, definitely get more Koreans that speak up like she does
Thank you so much for your interviews
This channel is so dope. You ask really good questions.
People in the comments need to stop putting pale skin down. Y’all annoying
Fr its kind of ironic. Preaching about the importance of healthy beauty standards then deducing pale skin to looking sickly…
Agreed, it's not the way to defeat beauty standards, it's just hypocritical.
the girl with the blue tshirt is so cool😭love her
dude please keep bringing more content this videos. They are awesome.
Great video about very hot topic. Nice questions, try not to ask same question like 3 one. Cool that you interviewed many people wich had decent answers.
Would be sweet if you made a video how you learned korean, aswell making video of why so many koreans commit suicide , highest in the world (wich is very hot topic). Best wishes
I keep forgetting I need to read the subtitles
Love your channel ! You ask really interesting questions to people, it help us understand korean culture and society !
yea reminds me of asian boss
omg the interviewer is so good at korean!
The fact that pale skin is considered a beauty standard in SK is something I'll never understand because in my country people thinks you're feeling sick or ill if you have pale skin. In my country, people prefers fresh-looking and healthy skin.
Skin of every colour are beautiful. Pale, dark, and everything in the middle. Of course people can have a personal preference, but saying that one is better than the other is stupid.
@@lauragoreni3020 I never said anything about one being better than the other but I get your point. I'm just more used to the skin preference in my country so it can be hard for me to adjust to other countries and I'm learning to get used to others preference.
What country you live?

Good interview
I like that the one lady specified she wasnt a representative of all korean ppl. I feel that ppl automatically assume that on cultural discussion of several poc’s f run with what one person said. We are not monoliths.❤

왜 하얀 피부를 안좋게 보는지 모르겠네 한국인이 이목구비가 진한것도 아니고 그을린 피부였면 더 판판해보일수도 있을텐데
I'm just here to say... this interviewer is fiiiiine.
In my country this level of skinny is considered unhealthy n considered as marasmus i don't want to sound rude i don't understand why they
are so obsessed ....being chopsticks....... If u look natural that looks more pretty n stay healthy that's more attractive .

they're all pretty and the standard drives itself what it is as now, no judgement, respect their perspectives about being pretty.
Pale skin I'm in mid I am really fair but not pale
You need to work on your transitioning between frames its a bit distracting and ask the people to elaborate more but over all u are doing good 👍🏼
The 'Beauty Standard' is public mental recoding for commercial benefit.
Started with consumption of hollywood, music, advertising of global brands with the expansion of SK economy>
More of the population has higher spendable income and gradually covet the imported imagery associated of western culture and successful expensive brands>.
SK (highly homogenous) assimilate and duplicate within the country e.g. kpop idols, kdramas, own brands>
Over time feel good factors associated with strong branding and European culture subtly reframes thinking on what 'good' looks like in local population leading to insecurities and peer pressure.>.
Growing trend for eyelid and jaw plastic surgeries & IV glutathione 'spa treatments' to get 'the look' seen on fave celebs: small oval face with walnut eyes and double eyelids and milk bottle skin.>
Thin SK idols, tv, social media, webtoons, advertising reinforce the standard imagery as 'pretty & successful' and normalising a tough 'enviable' target . Unless your V or damn lucky, it's deliberately hard to achieve without cash outlay or loans, diets, beauty creams, skin & hair bleach, gym membership etc. which in turn mobilises other commercial businesses.
Underpinning this entire thing : Historical bias and foreigner fear in the SK population is used subconsciously to validate actions & maintain the standard. There is an overwhelming desire to 'belong', not be a family outcast and to get ahead financially.
e.g. Pressure when society employment opportunities and marriage place a heavy value burden on appearance> Growing trend of parents giving children plastic surgery gifts before leaving school so hardly anyone knows what they used to look like before entering adulthood.
e.g. Historic attitude of associating whiteness with greatness and wealth and the opposite with poverty, crime and general unattractiveness> Skin bleaching is a whole separate global issue. SK is not immune. Many convince themselves ghost pale is ideal or fair as a corpse is 'healthy' and debate it's a 'personal preference'.
e.g. Strong culture not to marry outsiders. The opportunity to widen genetics naturally over time is lost. No money to be made in that!! (There's a reason Cha Eun Woo is unique. He's mixed!) For those coveting scandinavian blonde hair & grey/blue eyes - GOOD LUCK! The plan is that you pay and fake it until you NEVER make it.
So....resorting to 'spa treatments' and plastic surgery market is kept secured for generations as long as the population are 'sheep' to what is going on .... the cycle continues. Is it any wonder SK is a world leader in beauty cosmetics and plastic surgery? Vanity is a moneymaker. People need to be aware of the pitfalls when buying products and services and of course learn to appreciate what you already have.
4:25 hypocrits...Paradoxe
Bro how did you learn Korean so well

What are DOUBLE EYELIDS? 🤔🤨
basically just not a monolid.
eyes that aren’t hooded I’m guessing
The eyelid line🤔I am also Korean, but I want to get rid of my double eyelids
When i tired, i get multiple layers
@@Oioi-qx9uy don't Asians can have single or double eyelid
@@Oioi-qx9uy i am actually quite shock that Koreans have double eyelid because southern Chinese have double eyelid.
"The beauty standard hasn't changed"
Well that girl wasn't there in the 90s in the Entertainment world
Dark skinned were the Beauty then,all the Celebrities used to get Tanned to be beautiful
Since the josen era pale skin was desired since it was associated with wealth so no dark skin was never mainstream popular in Korea maybe in sub culture in the 90s
It’s not just Korea it’s all Asian countries for Japan as example in the 90s the beauty standard was to be very tanned to where you were orange mostly in teenagers and young adults but it’s crazy how a beauty standard can change so quick
It is divided into a friend who hates tanning and a friend who enjoys tanning shops. First, some people think it's better not to burn than to burn vaguely. Second, there are friends who come back without burning because their faces are red. Third, because I don't think it suits me. Fourth, fifth is also personal taste.
And the ancestors of a long time ago also liked fine, white, and clear skin.
@@mohamedahmedyassinhussein6856 No, it was the mainstream in Korea. Female celebs artificially tanned their skin and put on dark makeup. Who the f are you and why do you say as if you know the days? You can check out 이승연, 이본, 룰라 in the 90s.
In the 90s, ppl liked dark skin and thick double eyelids, but these days ppl like light skin and monolid

Wait so what height do you expect them, Because here in the west the women say that the average height is 6ft, Is it the same in Korea?
@@AdamSed64 피트 몰라요. cm 알아요
Why do we consider them beautiful while we know that they do plastic surgery they have neither natural beauty nor natural color
The same way that we know that hollywood stars is full of plastic but we consider them beautifull, lol.
And not just korea its a capital of PS.
There 3 capitals: korea , brazil and USA.
Based in ur opinion all these countries dont have beautifull people
Kind of a racist generalization lmao
Not all Koreans have plastic surgery, perhaps its disproportionately higher yes but why is that inherently a bad thing?
@@rjlee-cc4xy To anyone in Korea that undergoes plastic surgery (probably a lot) it makes them seem like they hide behind a literal mask. Many people do not look that way naturally and are only so because it is the result of a surgery. While these people have the right to do as they wish with their bodies, I find it cringy (in my honest opinion) they only really do so just to conform to societal pressure and be comfortable in their own skin.
Not to pour vinegar over the wound, but this fake beauty is probably the reason why nobody in Korea has ever won an international beauty pageant such as Miss Universe and the like. Maybe that disqualifies them. That may sound kind of harsh, but let it be known that quite a lot of Koreans lowkey shit talk my people despite the fact that we have done nothing wrong to them. We are one of many whom they look down on
@@michaelrespicio5683 what do you mean look that way? All these people on the video are natural lol I'm korean and no one I know did plastic surgery I don't know about others tho
man all these baddies bad tho......get yo kimchi blackman
Korean beauty standards started because of SM visuals like Yoona and Eugene
This is so funny. Women told ud not to judge women by their looks for 10 minutes, but the host uploaded the thumbnail with the prettiest girl.
😂😂😂
Thick double eye lids what in the hell
Are u asking what they are cuz If u are there basically not monolids
When I think of pale skin, I’m thinking you need some vitamin D.
Many Westerners say K-beauty standard is strange but it's actually from Western culture. Audrey Hepburn for example is what K-beauty standard is today. Also Western runway models are what Koreans consider beauty.
Tall, slim, small head, and well dressed is standard runway model.
Agree and desagree.
I dont think korean beauty standard its a runway model standard
What? How Audrey Hepburn is the Korean beauty standard? Haha you're weird
@@ambery6461 Are you saying Audrey Hepburn is ugly by Korean standard?
I'm tired of people saying K-beauty standard is different. Or any other beauty standard. Charlize Theron is beautiful in any country. Anne Hathaway is beautiful in USA AND Korea. Brad Pitt is beautiful in USA AND Korea. There's no such thing as different beauty standards.
@@BrianHSC Audrey Hepburn is beautiful by Korean standard. Most Koreans will find her beautiful. Also, Bollywood actresses are beautiful by Korean standard. Most Koreans will find them beautiful. Likewise, Koreans will find Japanese, Chinese, Southeast Asian, and Arab actors to be beautiful. I don't understand how "Koreans think Audrey Hepburn is beautiful" leads to "Audrey Hepburn is the Korean beauty standard"
@@ambery6461 "Audrey Hepburn is beautiful by Korean standard" You 're contradicting yourself. Point I was making is that beauty is same everywhere even in Korea. And there's no "ONE" standard in each country. What is US standard?

Hey they don't get any miss world or miss universe they don't deserve to ask about beauty standards 😂
Most men, Korean and Western would probably pick the girl central at 0:43 here, she has the k-pop look. As a refined gentleman, the cutest to me is the girl far left of the 4 stood up. Beauty without trying too hard to fit a 'look', just herself is enough.
Refined gentleman 🤮
I thought western would pick their own women lmaoo
no, thumbnail girl is well above everyone in this video, uniquely pretty
The beauty standard is really "STANDARD" in Korea. People generally try to define it as shape of nose, eyes, mouth, etc. The European and Russian look is the main beauty standard for korean. You may have noticed that always Ukrainian, Estonia, Romanian, Russian girls get much opportunities working in commercial advertisements and modeling. Because they have blue eyes and yellow skins. That's what korean like and they give preference to those beauties and it's honor for korean to have these girls in their shows/advertisements/movies. For korean, these people are brand and standard of beauty standard. Local Korean young guys and girls always want to be looked like a westerner. You may notice that the dying and coloring hairs is much trending now a days just because they want to have European hairs color.
I remember my roommate was a Russian club boy. He used to work in a club for whole night and used to bring always new Korean girls in the home. But he himself was very messy and smelly guy. He rarely used to take a shower. Always had a smelly and wet socks and wearing shoes inside the room. Rarely he changed his socks in a month. Once he proudly told me as he has blue eyes so it's easy for him to pick korean girls as much as he wants 😄. He said he picked 6 different korean girls to the home in last 6 days. That was true. Even he went to Busan with one millionaire korean girl. But he had no return bus fair. I transferred bus fair in his bank account. So we can say that money isn't that much important for korean as nationality and look mater.
They do find white people really attractive but their beauty standard isn't based on white people. Many koreans have already tried to explain that. They like double eyelids, sharp noses and pale skin which are also available in entire east asia. Those features are not just white people features.. Just visit east Asian countries and you'll know. Their beauty standard is based on their own people with pale skin sharp nose double eyelids etc. I don't understand why ya'll western and south asian people think they only have mono eyelids, flat nose, small eyes and not pale skin. Well guess what that's not true at all. That just says how little knowledge y'all have about them. They have both mono eyelids and double eyelids. Most of my Chinese friends have double eyelids btw. They also have both sharp and flat noses. They also have pale, yellow toned very fair skin and kinda tanned skin. They also have small medium big eyes. In pictures and videos their eyes look way smaller and majority of them have really bad photo face based on my experience. Even the really good looking people in my class used to look like totally different people in pictures but irl they were way better looking. Even the super good looking ethereal east asian i saw irl had bad photo face.
@gamesonly in my dictionary, beauty standard means the look you are more attracted and korean wanna have serious relationships that's only Westerners and estern European lol. You may have noticed in night life the korean guys directly ask Western girls for nightstands, etc. But they don't ask these questions to local korean girls.
I'm a believer in the golden rule: treat others the way you want to be treated. I used to respect Korean people...only find out that many of them look down and talk crap about my people, including myself, so I see no reason to play nice with them.
Beauty standards? What a joke. They make such a big deal about this in Korea, that so many people there undergo plastic surgery basically just to feel good in their own skin and fit in with everyone else. How pathetic. And yet not a single Korean person has ever won an international pageant title like Miss World or Miss Universe. But those representing my country have won these titles. Fake it 'til they make it, or maybe such fake beauty disqualifies them in the first place. Look at some before and after photos of Koreans undergoing plastic surgery. If it's indeed the same person, the differences are like night and day, and yet they have the audacity to call us "ugly". They can think what they want but at least we're not immature. It's disgusting how so many people worship Koreans without knowing how many of them mistreat others who are "beneath" them behind the scenes. Who knows what they really think about us when we're not around, acting one way and thinking another. Sad thing is many Koreans visit or even move to my country, and even then some of them will say nasty things, as if they can go anywhere and walk all over us just because they exist and have this superiority complex, holier-than-thou attitude that everyone should respect them and yet they can treat others however they want
Are u filipino!?
Just bc ur people have won miss world or miss universe doesnt mean ur people are more beautifull 😂🤣.
Philipine won more beauty peagent than russia , sweden , etc , that mean filipinos are better looking than them!?
Of course not
And about plastic surgeries before that u are talking its about people that born with deformation, u think philippines dont have these kind of people!?
Koreans will always look down on filipinos
My biggest dissapointment with Korean people is the fact that many of our grandfathers won a major battle during the Korean War (Battle of Yultong) which played a big role in turning the tide of the war. Even the Korean government and UN acknowledges this. Some people who know about the fact express their gratitude, even to us. Many of them are not alive anymore so saying thanks to us younger people means nothing unless it's for bringing the story to light. To pay respects to our grandfathers, the only way to do that is to share their story, which very few people seem to do if any at all, which means not enough people are talking about it and why a lot idiotic Korean people look down on us. Spreading the word might end the discrimination. Grateful? Prove it then. I just explained how. Otherwise talk is cheap. If this part of history is so important, then how come almost no one talk about this in school or outside class? Why is the Ministry covering it up? Teachers failing to talk about this may not be Korean students fault. The problem is that even when you know the facts, you do nothing to spread the word. There's only so much I can do. Korean people should be doing most of the talking because this is an event that happened on their land that somehow they've never heard of that outsiders like me have to tell you about. In the end, I don't hate Koreans but this is very dissappointing, and until you guys do something, the problem may only get worse.
