TRUTH or MYTH: Koreans React to Stereotypes

[@xtelfolaj]

omg , gina has such a gorgeous face and body! i know asians love smaller size but in the western world shes like perfect.

[@FlyingSoulworld]

yeah, she's fat here

[@plus7560]

xtel folaj Yes. Gina is gorgious. But she looks Asian american here, because she wears western make-up, not Korian one and her hairstyle too. From a Asian people point of view, Soomin's make-up more natural and she is like modest and charming lady. I like them and they look perfect.

I just realized...if surgery is so common in Korea, that must mean it's cheap, and and the surgeons are top quality. I had an epiphany. Maybe I should go to Korea to get surgery on my face, maybe I will look like Zack Efron or something.

Story time: I work at a German hotel and checked in a Korean for the first time - well it was the first Korean I ever met in person. He was so funny and kind. The first thing he said after hello: 'Are you a BTS Fan?' because he saw my tattoo (방탄 전사 = bulletproof warrior) and the first word is also in BTS's name. I was a little embarassed. I said: 'Is it that obvious?' haha and explained what the tattoo ment to me. Then I checked him in and we had a little talk. I once said "안녕하세요" (hello)- followed right by: 'sorry that was probably bad' - I felt cringy even though I learnt a bit Korean in online classes and actually can pronounce it well. The funniest was when he told me he lived in Poland and I asked him in Polish if he speaks ..well Polish. And he laugh-answered in English that he didn't. After all that I had a burning question. I asked: 'Do you think BTS represents your country in a good way?' and he said: 'I like them, they have a really good message, it's important.' Over all it was very exciting and funny - he was the highlight of my very stressed day, mostly because of his warm-hearted kindness. 🇰🇷🇩🇪✌

[@favourlahai2954]

I’m actually South Korean, but I was raised in the USA because my mother was adopted by my grandmother because she couldn’t have children, and when my mom grew up, my Dad and her married and had me and my sister, and the obsessed with appearance thing is a myth for me because I’m insecure, so I kinda didn’t care because I wasn’t good enough, no matter what I did. One moment, I was too skinny, the next, I was obese, and society body-shamed me either way, and shamed me for everything else, and told me I couldn’t do anything right, so I just said “Screw this, I’m outta here.” I’m also autistic, anxious, and depressed, and the depression sort of made me stop caring altogether, but then I got the help I needed, and I put effort into my appearance, but I don’t care about it anymore, nor do I care what anyone thinks of me or my body, it still stings and I can still be insecure, but mostly, I just tune people’s rude comments out now, or walk away when they’re being jerks. That doesn’t mean I don’t care, like, I’ll show up to an event and I’ll follow the dress code, but I won’t give people who ask me “THAT’S what you’re wearing!?” in a condescending tone the time of day because one, it still hurts, and two, don’t talk to other people that way, it’s rude. That being said, you’re not shallow or self-absorbed if you do care for your appearance and health, a lot of people do, and it has nothing to do with your race/ethnicity. I really liked this video, though. It’s one of my faves, and I relate to all of these. Kudos!

For some reasons (as listed by some observers): the political division of the Korean Peninsula (just like Ireland is divided), the prevalent social drinking, the propensity for hard work, the (occasional) emotional outbursts, etc. When I first encountered the nickname, I was baffled, too.

Gina's face is not something you'd see in Korean media, which makes you wonder how many women are being filtered to fit the beauty standard

Korean faces have been changing rapidly, not only by plastic surgery but also by natural skull changes by birth. Their faces have got smaller and narrower year by year according to the statistics. Gina's face was a typical one back in 1960s or 70s, now it's getting uncommon.
