I mean, she’s lived in Korea for over 7 years so I feel like it makes sense for her to try to fit the beauty standard?

[@gummiehobi8032]

Oh it’s 1000% objectifying! There is definitely a percentage of Korean men that have fantasies about being with a foreign woman, simply because she’s a foreigner. I only spent a month in Korea but I would constantly hear Korean men giggle amongst themselves and look dead at me saying “look a foreigner,” “oh she’s pretty” and “you should get her kakaotalk/instagram” (sort of like high school boys). I guess they all assumed I didn’t understand Korean or didn’t care if I heard. Regardless, it definitely felt objectifying and uncomfortable. (I also had an old man, like the one in this video, start talking to me randomly on a bus and it was definitely uncomfortable. He even asked me if I was Russian? I’m not and don’t have any Russian heritage pretty sure he only asked that because I have light eyes and blonde hair 🤦‍♀️)

[@SocksWithSandalsEnjoyer]

I think it's a nice idea on paper because i find it important to acknowledge and appreciate the beauty and differences in humans faces but this feel like they're treating her like she's super special or different.

[@orphaxx1254]

No fr I think Korea is the worst developed country to live as a woman.. it’s no surprise that they have the 4B movement. Their society and the believes of that society are so deeply rotten it’s insane. As the commentator before me said, Dark Asia with Megan or most videos on rotten mango really give you another understanding of what going on over there. I engage in the same feminism as the 4B movement members so I talked to a few women from Korea in different forums/tumblr/reddit and it’s simply sad what they are going through while most of the world looks at Korea and only sees K-pop, Kdrama and some skin care.. thinking that this is an awesome country. And don’t get me wrong, I love history and culture and there are a lot of things I like about Korea. But the world sees this country for something it simply is not. It’s the same with Japan too.

It's entirely possible. The country is 95.6% Korean and and of the 4.4% of foreigners, over 60% is CN/VN/TH nationality. That's 98% Asian not including the rest of SEA and Japanese people. Americans, Russians and Canadians are the biggest contingent of nationalities outside of Asia. Even if you assume every single one of them are non-Asian ethnically, that would be 0.24% of the population. You people don't live here. You don't understand how rare it is to run into a foreigner for most people on a day-to-day basis, and how rare it is to run into a white person once you leave the areas with military bases and tourist hotspots.

Whenever I see these comments, I wonder if your country is educating statistics. According to a release by UNDP(the United Nations Development Program), Korea's gender inequality index was ranked 16th as of 2022. Denmark was ranked first, Austria was ranked 12th, Germany was 19th, Japan was 22nd, France was 24th, Poland was 31st, the United States was 44th, and India was 108th. The ranking you referenced is probably from the 2010s GGI(Gender Gap Index) data from WEF(the World Economic Forum). As of 2015, Korea's GGI index was 115th out of 145 countries. In the WEF, Korea ranked 114th of the college enrollment rate, with a male college enrollment rate of 111 percent and a closer look at 85 percent for women. There is a strange conclusion that 111 out of 100 Korean men go to college. Men's absence from college without leaving the university is also treated as a period of university education, because it is common for men to take a leave of absence during their military service, which increases the period of education. It is a bit different from reality because women can take a leave of absence from school even if they are not in the military. When you understand any statistical data, you must gain insight into the phenomena that occur later in the statistics. For example, the conclusion that "all humans have one testicle on average" is true, but it is not.

Oh my goodness gracious-- I thought it was just me who felt the tiny ick with series like these! I still remember this one video where they brought in a girl from Africa (South Africa I think??) and she fit the Korean beauty standard pretty well. It just didn't sit right with me, yet when I went down to the comments, a lot of people were defending the video by pointing out that Africa is very racially and ethnically diverse. And yes, that's true! But, these channels cherry pick people all the time, it's not a coincidence. I've also realized that it's mainly women that the Koreans meet? Perhaps maybe because it's harder for non-Korean men to fit the standard? Idk, I haven't thought too deep about that aspect. Overall, I'm not a huge fan of these videos :/ but I'm a fan of you so far! This is actually my first time watching you :D keep up the good work man

​​@@Lppt87 It is pretty offensive to suggest people of color, their entire country, and their views on beauty regarding their own people are white supremacist. With the dominance of western media over the global market for all these years, eurocentric beauty standards were indeed globally acknowledged and subconsciously imposed way beyond the west, and korea Is not an exception. But times have changed, people are starting to embrace themselves. Korea has it's own media and influence now, and the eurocentric traits that were considered the standard of beauty in the country slowly morphed and became it's own thing. Isn't it a norm to make your nose look smaller in the west as well? You make it sound like for asians, wanting big eyes and a tall nose is some kind of self-hatred and internalized racism.

It's the first one. People from East Asian countries (ie. Korea and Japan) it is very common for them to have never seen someone who was NOT Korean/Japanese. You legitimately have entire towns that have literally never seen a white/black person. There is also the added beauty 'industry' in East Asia which is a WHOLE thing. From idols to skin whitening to different expectations of women etc there is a very large issue with sexism and incel-adjacent territory. I'm not sure about S. korea, but in Japan there is definitely a huge issue with men perpetrating crimes against women and generally being incredibly misogynistic.

Surprisingly there are a lot of channels like that, as Korean, I think those channels are targeted for teenagers or early 20s who have no experience in touching grass. or just..I think Koreans generally like to look at people if that makes sense?..and being beautiful is the best compliment you can get, THIS or "you're very skilled" smth like that. There are also so many youtubers giving tips for better relationship or mainly about..how to get a date even though the topic can be literally anything else, it doesn't need to be about relationship Koreans are very interested in these kinds of topics I guess..and they ask youtuber how they're not confident with their look so they want to get a feedback, usually the feedback is just "be yourself" or "be confident" so it's not terrible but it's kinda weird watching those videos. People like watching other people being in a relationship, you know those dating programs? yeah those things. I think Koreans take 'being in a relationship' a bit too seriously?..just look at k-drama, and because of this even though we know we can be ourselves, "not taking care of yourself" or "not taking care of your looks" is often considered being lazy. They all just want to be in k-drama, at least that's what I think. So just talking about what's your type when you look at men/women, or "why haven't you dated yet, you're pretty", do you consider yourself having a high standards etc..any questions about being in a relationship is considered a small talk/casual talk here. I mean, not THAT casual, these questions are definetely not being asked to people you just met, but it's just natural thing to ask. WHICH IS SO WEIRD However even with all of this, the comments they're making during this video is considered problematic in Korea too, this channel is just so weird. Also yeah, that is the most Korean-looking European I've ever seen. Also also, these channels are usually heavily scripted. Her saying "I'm not that hungry right now" is actually meant to be "I'm not in a rush" so yeah, you got it right. The old guy's compliment is so uncomfortable lol, but that's how people in 50s-60s usually talk. They have this mindset of "I can call beautiful women beautiful because that is how guys are like" and occasionally they say this out loud too, thinking this is a good compliment.
