Carrying umbrellas is actually very common throughout Asia as well as wearing sunscreen as we do burn easily and taking care of your skin is engrained in the culture. Many parts of Asia like Hong Kong and Taiwan also give you brand new clothing like that.
ow legit the heat is incredible in asia but the 50 year olds really don’t look like 50 lol my filipino grandma is obsessed with umbrella and loves hoarding and receiving them as gifts. she never goes out without sun protection. my aunt also never goes out with out her sunglasses and hats. i think it’s why asians don’t prune or wrinkle until later age haha
I can tell you, if you live in Asia, the sun is more intense. And we also tried doing no sunscreen, and we get skin cancer threats easily. For example, babies and children should be under the sun daily, we used to not put sunscreen on them. But the amount of children getting skin surgery because they easily get skin problem from the lack of sunscreen. So now it is expected to put sunscreen on children as well.
@@Dashomin it may feel that way, the heat feels different to our bodies depending on the structural density of the location and also humidity. If you live in Texas or someplace that typically have less shade (low structures) it will feel hotter. My comment is from experience as I travel at least 5x a year, to all continents. Of course there are countries that are near the equator, that's a different story. But all countries will do well with how Korea treats their citizens skin safety, even with the public large umbrellas.
I love the honest comments in a sea of people denying korea’s superficial and colorist reality. If sunscreen had no use other than making koreans pale they would still obsess over it to avoid appearing like darker Asian ethnicities that they look down upon
Just wanted to add additionally to the part where sunscreen is more culturally applied here in SK, is because it used to be a thing that was broadcasted mainly in the common TV shows. There would be programs telling the importance of wearing sunscreen during the summer and even to places that involved swimming. Also, health related programs were mainly watched by the generation where the people are now all elderly who have a proper family. This probably went down generations passed on to knowing how it’s important to wear anything that can cover your arms, legs and head from heat and the sun. Also, every year and during the summer season, SK’s government sends alert to the Korean citizens to warn them that there would be a heat wave. Which also tells the elderly and mostly the weak, to stay indoors and away from the heat. The public umbrellas were made to help the elderly sit or stay away from the heat that could prevent heat loss in case of inevitable outdoor activities..people were just more educated about skin related health issues in the past that now became more like a cultural thing. But anyways it’s fun to see how people from different regions think about SK just coming from this content.
I won't deny the stores are cool, but I do NOT wish we had those beauty standards here. You do know the reason for sun protection everywhere is because of the "pale skin" beauty standard and not actually for protection against skin cancer, right?
@@anais3913 you're right, it's not just about the light color but also about the flawless texture. It still rubs me the wrong way because it's not about health but about being obsessed with "perfect" skin.
@@Orynae I get where you’re coming from and in fact, unrealistic beauty standards come from almost ANYWHERE as long as there is an imperfect human being. I’m sure not everyone wears suncream as a purpose to “fit in” the standard beauty type because it goes along with their own preference. As far as I could say, suncream is still(whichever product you use, either tinted or not) a part of sun protection that will not look as cute when you apply it. So why would they wear suncream “just to fit in beauty standards”? Whatever reasons, wearing suncream is still more beneficial than you think it is. Also, I recommend you to look into SK’s history because it goes along a long way where they had men wear makeup as well. If you think beauty standards derive just from Korea? No.. it comes from any country with a history. So please, I don’t stand sides with unrealistic values BUT it’s just people having different opinions on what they view and favor. Just let them be.
You should look into Hwarang and traditional Korean makeup that was used back in Joseon dynasty. They had bright powder and tinted makeup to look more youthful back in the days. Idk why you’re trying to claim the beauty standards other country has but if you know how to respect another culture, i’m pretty sure you won’t sound as arrogant.
One thing I noticed about Asian countries is the amount of waste for one use items, mostly plastics. Do you need plastic disposable gloves every time you cook? Or even the shield in the dressing room, where does it go? In the ocean, the landfills? Their products are over packaged with plastic wrapping. And things like single use facial masks that are not biodegradeable, etc. They’ve definitely influenced consumerism in the US.
who the fuck uses disposable gloves every time when you’re cooking??? be serious rn not even chefs use that shit and if they do its small food stalls where you make active contact with food (kimbap)
They make all of those products, so they don't care. In all of these videos, you'll be hard pressed to find anything that about their land fill system and their "recycling."
The sun protection is such a big thing there not just because of cancer or they want to protect themselves from the sun, it's just because they don't want to get dark.

@@I_hv_no_brains...Koreans actually tend to be very tan,however they idolise white skin and often view lighter/pale skintones as rich,pure,clean and much more-you can pretty much educate yourself about the rest in more depth because it has nothing to do with what you said/claimed😮💨
I mean that's what vitamin d pills r for no? Also better than getting skin cancer Not saying I agree completely with how strict they r tho, it's very depressing how strict they r with the sun ngl I don't like that
@@lana_354 you often need to take other supplement to absorb the vitamin D and clearly it is not as efficient as take a 10 mins of morning sun every day (with fps protection
Yeah, all of these reinforce the amount of obsession they have with looks. South Korea definitely takes the gold medal for being "vanity" in the deadly sins competitions 😅
YES!! In China, we do this, too! We used sunscreen for a beauty standard to protect our skin's from the sun. Bro, my friends look at me as if I was a weirdo putting on sunscreen a couple of times. My asians ass is trying to keep my youth (even though I'm only a asian asshole teen boy). Gotta stay pretty. (；^ω^)
east asian skin in general are very prone to sun pigmentation/dark spots/discoloration, people want to have even skin tone not dark spots sun damages everywhere, especially the face.
@resurgam75 No, that's very different. I'm black, love my skin color, but don't want dark spots or any hyperpigmentaion. That doesn't mean I think dark skin is ugly. But yeah, dark skin is seen as ugly there. But if we're being honest, dark skin is seen as ugly here in America, too. Not nearly as much but still. I mean, we can't act as if darker skinned people don't still get bullied in the west. They do. Heck, darker individuals are KILLED over here, especially if they are Black or Latino.
I hope you are joking, because comparing S.Korea with America is doesn't make sense. America has black people / black Americans as its population, there are also many Asians and Europeans, in essence America is a country with various human races, while Korea is not like that, so it is very natural that the shade of makeup is adjusted to the majority of the population, which is bright (in sk)
@@purinchan888 Lmao there are definitely MANY Koreans and other Asians that are brown. You can look up any number of Koreans/Asians talking about how they struggle to find shades that match them in Korea. It's crazy ( and willfully ignorant) that you somehow think only black people have brown skin
@@jiminswriter4209 This comment is so ignorant. First of all I never said most Koreans are brown. 2nd this doesn't actually disprove anything I said. A large portion of the population is not as white/light as the make up. That is a fact. You can argue with the numerous people who have stated as such but your opinion doesn't over rule fact. If all Koreans were fair there wouldn't need to be so much white washing done to celeb pics
believe me it's not only about sun protection, they have a huge amount of products claiming to lighten your skin. Their beauty standards promote very pale white skin and tan skin is seen as inferior like in most asian countries...
Tan skin is not considered to be inferior. Wtf would you say that?? Korea have tan skinned artist too. Asians prefer to have fair skin doesn't mean that they look down on dark skin. There are freaking tanning shops too. You just want to create hatred. Btw, why is bad wanting to have fairer skin while you want to tann or dark skin? Do you want to be black?
Don’t you think having several layers of clothing adds to it? Couldn’t it be their blatant hatred of being darker skinned as they perceive it to be dirty? Seems more plausible
They've got a pretty rough UV index, comparable to the American Southwest. Skin damage causes blemishes and freckles and South Korea beauty standards involve clean, clear, even skin tone (and often youthful features)
@@Fohnah actually wearing clothing that covers the skin Keeps you cooler if the fabric is quality. There is a reason why in countries where they have deserts they wear things that cover them head to toe
Exactly!!!! It also all about finding defect so your spend your so hard earn money on consumerism about your appearance (cosmetic, surgery, clothes, diet) those beauty standards don’t let any place for the human to be a human.
@@keepitmoving1119 yes. It's so worse that there are actually people who are okay with not smiling or laughing so that they can avoid smile lines and crow feet. These unrealistic beauty standards made aging scary.
Sun protection thing is a necessity here in Asia especially if the country is located near the equator, since the heat can get up to 50 degrees. So if you don’t want to get sunburn or skin cancer, use skin protection 😅
What’s weird is that in california, where I grew up, sun protection isn’t that big of a thing even though the temperature can get to that and hotter in some areas. I was raised with the “sunscreen for EVERYTHING” mentality, but plenty of my friends and people in the area didn’t see it as that big of an issue.
@antidave I'm also from Texas and agree, unless the UV index is higher. I moved from Texas to New Mexico and I need to start wearing sunscreen daily because I burn so quickly here, when I didn't back home. Turns out the UV index is way higher
Just a reminder that you will rarely find anything above a size 8 in women's clothes (even at a size 8 I've seen women have to wear dresses as shirts to get by). Hopefully there's been improvement, but it wasn't that long ago you still had to shop in Hongdae for even a limited selection.
I just moved (US) and in California all the kids clothes were too skinny and long for my kids, I moved to the South East and now all the shirts are shout and very wide like square cloths with arms that feel nearly as wide as long. Weirdly, looking at the children in both places reflects that. The food serving sizes have also changed and I’m realizing they serve more food to serve taller bigger people with harsher summers and winters. It made me realize that if I went to some Asian countries not only would the clothes all be too small but I might eat less. 😅 I really want to buy clothes from Korea, china, and Japan but I’m worried any sizing because I’m not “tall” in US but I am curvy. I’m excited about Thailand and Vietnam though because I know they have tailors!! So I don’t have to worry about this being sized to me.
i love skincare but i guess theres a reason why they are willinh to go that far and spend big bucks for their store, aesthetic vibe, etc. bc they know what sells in korea. theyre creating some sort of high standard and its sustaining their beauty businesses
i know you want to believe the narrative foreigners have about sk where everyone is stick thin and while that is their beauty standard, it’s not how the average person in sk actually is. you can still get a decent range in sizes in sk.
@@arain764niara not really my Korean friend, she is considered tall for a Korean woman 5’10 and forget finding size. She was ordering her clothes online from American and European brand. Now that she immigrated here in Canada she said that it is so freeing not just the clothes part but all the skincare regiment, makeup, peer pressure to get plastic surgery and the weight of fitting in at all cost.
@@arain764niara It's difficult find bigger than a size 8 in Korea. It's possible but usually you have to go out of your way to find such places. One of the few is in Hongdae, and even that is limited, you won't necessarily find fashionable clothes.
@@burnt-croissants No you can't lol. Even people that are size 8 have a hard time finding their size. Simon and Martina lived in Korea from around 2008 to 2019, Martina constantly warned that you should assume you will not find the clothes you need above a size 8. She often had to wear dresses as shirts when shopping in regular stores or clothes sold in stalls.
That’s LARGELY the reason don’t let them gaslight you and pretend it’s only for health reasons✨ Koreans look down on darker Asian ethnicities it’s an open secret
The umbrella thing is so true - even as a little kid my mom would carry a umbrella over my head in korea bc of the sun - and ngl the makeup and skincare stores are amazing - next to them sephora is a drugstore
The beauty pressure in Korea seems insane, that must take such a toll on their mental health. Also they wear sunscreen not for skincare but because darkness is seen as less than.
@@hounamao7140 Planting trees would be much more effective. It would lower the temperature, avoid floods, and provide natural shade. Sadly, I'd seen a lot of people going against that just because trees would mean insects, as if a freaking heatwave is any better
@@skybunny6258 I used to live in a townwhere they have tree alleys for pedestrians to walk through and cars go around, it was the best thing ever. Insects don't like trees much, they like meadows, which are absent in town. Ofc you might have some in the tree, but it's not like their will be a swarm of insects around it, people seriously...
Let's stop pretending the sun protection thing is actually about sun protection. It's just colorism. Asian countries are obsessed with fair skin and getting tanned is treated like a disease.
It is a bit, like its basically your body reacting to your skin oxydative stress after uv radiation. So linking healthy skin to not being tanned isnt totally crazy. Obviously that doesnt concern those born with high melatonin skin. We used to worship white too in Europe, and at some point it switched (possibility of going to the sea on holidays) and people got into roasting themselves in the sun and perceive tan as healthy.
The paleness is the true reason if there were no protection from sun they would still do it to avoid being tan and they know this is true which is why they get defensive
I feel like having one display clothing item in every size would make a lot more sense than having people just try on everything it’s so much more sanitary to have the ones people try on and then separate ones that are for buying and once you don’t want to sell that item anymore you can donate the try on display goods
as an asian that migrated to spain, i was shocked to know that they absolutely do not care about the sun and gets icky when they see people using umbrella during sunny days
But it’s also important to mention that there is a level of colourism involved with the extreme sun protection in east asia. People don’t want the sun to touch them not just cuz of harmful UV rays but also because brown or darker skin is seen as unattractive and not high class.
Yeah but thats the same thing in europe, im very white and all my summers have been « do you live in a cave? Why are you so white » and lots of passive agressive comments, meanwhile people would roast themselves in the sun with the cult of « tannism » if we are going with the ism lol. I actually prefer white over tanned, to me tanned (if not genetic) means your skin just when through a massive oxydative stress.
You’re right they’re obsessed with paleness because they know how people who aren’t pale are treated in Korea. Korea is known to look down on other ethnicities that are darker.
@@hounamao7140It’s not the SAME thing 💀 You are not treated as subhuman for being pale. You are not seen as lower class for being pale. You are not prevented from entering nightclubs for being pale. You are not denied jobs for being pale. Your experience in EUROPE (not Korea) barely qualifies as teasing.
@@n.m6015 they don't do that c'mon, I lived in both Korea and Japan. If you are tanned you might just have a bit less success finding a partner based on physical appearance that's it. You talk like apartheid is going on there lol.
I korea the sizing is also extreme. Youre atleast two more sizes in korea than your real size. Im a european xs, in korea i would be a medium or large. If you are a european medium you most likely have to go to a plus size store in korea. Thats insane.
The sun protection is extreme for a cold country. It would make sense in Australia, etc. but I can't help wondering if it's just to keep people from pigmenting because of this belief that white is right
Umm sorry to say, but you do know that all skin types are prone to skin cancer therefore most people should be applying sunscreen in any continent.(but yes, I do agree with the part where you said Australians should be applying it more often because their UV rays are more stronger than other regions) And also, most sunscreens have Zinc Oxide which leaves a white cast that actually protects your skin from getting sunburnt, which unfortunately doesn’t explain why you say Koreans “believe” being white is right. If you’re trying to refer to “looking white is better” being common in SK’s beauty standard, i’d say that’s nothing to do with the West, it’s more likely coming from wanting a youthful, baby smooth looking skin with no spots or acne. If you haven’t looked around Korean cosmetics, there’s a lot of product related to acne, hyperpigmentation and pores. They are more into THAT instead of what you’re claiming what Korean beauty standards really are. Sorry to say this but also beauty isn’t really a fixed concept, everyone defines differently and i’m sure Koreans also have variety of different tastes in beauty too. The cosmetic brands and the commercials targeted the most globally don’t represent the whole of SK. Oh, and also in the video itself showed a scanner scanning her skin barrier. This just shows how people are really more into skin care and wanting to take right treatments into making your own skin looking much brighter and youthful. So sorry for the long comment, just wished it was helpful.
Michigan has similar weather to S.K., we still need sun protection every day here as well... it doesn't just apply to hot weather, that's not how skin cancer works lol.
let me emphasize that korea is obsessed with brands. you're kind of pressured to wear very nice clothes and accessories because you will be judged negatively if you're not dressed well
you guys are saying they burn easily, which may be true, but all of the east asians i know (10+) would explain this as them not wanting to get dark over the summer. They have lots of UV clothing as well too. Nothing to beoff-putt by just setting the record straight!
After working retail in the US for over 20 years, this would never work here. Unfortunately, our culture is very me me me, and the general population do not give one care about other people.
This seems like an episode from black mirror to me. People obsessed with their looks. The sun protection is probably because they don't want their skin to tan.
Don’t know what made you think that Koreans don’t use skin protection to protect skin lmao…are you initially thinking sunscreen is there to make them “looking white”? Because if so, why would anyone wear suncream when there’s various of shades to choose from the foundation collection? Just for your information, suncream is initially white casted, and it normally doesn’t suit on any skin tones in general because it looks unnatural when it leaves a white cast. So i’m saying, why would people apply suncream for “wanting to look white?” Isn’t that a bit too stretched forward? Try not to bring some other country down and putting yourself up. There’s no need to be shading others that want to protect their skin.
I don't think every store is gonna get a new garment out just for u and inspect it thoroughly esp when ur using Lou vitton as the example for all stores,like ots good that high fashion stores care more for their customers over in korea but thts bc they want a good reputation compared to common stores
I come from a third world country, and when ever we shop clothes, we are given brand new packaged clothes to buy, unlike here in germany, where you literally have to shop clothes that were being tried on several times by multiple people, tossed and stepped on, and left on the floors in the trying room 🤮
You're supposed to wash new clothes anyway, so I don't care if they were tried on by someone else before. What do they do with those clothes that don't get sold then, throw them away?
@@vernoningning it's not about whether someone has worn it before, or if it laid on the floor, it's about how the clothes were produced: "clothing manufacturers don’t need to disclose any of the treatments and finishes that they use to customers, and many of the chemicals applied to the clothing have little or no research to back up their safety. The chemicals that they use could pose health risks to people, and they could also end up in the air and water supplies, where they could do further harm. It’s a messy-albeit tidy-situation, and it’s best to avoid contact with these finishes." I copied this from somewhere else because my English isn't so good :) basically you should wash them not only because of germs/funghi etc. but also because of the chemicals used in production.
@@La.w13 but the same could apply to laundry detergents as well...most of the fragrances and chemicals used in these detergents are neurotoxic and hormone disruptors...so what do we do about those chemicals then?
I mean, having the clothes to try on and pulling stock from the back makes so much more sense. No point hanging multiples of one size on the show room floor. In France they don't even have multiple sizes out, you have to ask the shop girl to go grab your size
We have alot of sun protection here in Denmark too. Also in our products❤ It's very important to stay out of the sun when it's at it's highest from noon 12O'clock too 3O'clock. We also have sentitive skin. And uva + uvb sunscreen filters in makeup products 🎉
Love the three studs earrings and the ring and the Row dress is the same last season Toteme I got that in vanilla bcs well I liked that color more it is so princess style dress but wearable.
Sun protection is just colorism honestly. In a lot of Asian countries (south and SEA included) the lightness of the skin is associate with economic class and perception of education and competency not to mention beauty. So yeah, sun protection is not simply just to protect against skin cancers and conditions but is a translation of colorism bias in society as well
Yeah but thats the same thing in europe, im very white and all my summers have been « do you live in a cave? Why are you so white » and lots of passive agressive comments, meanwhile people would roast themselves in the sun with the cult of « tannism » if we are going with the ism lol. I actually prefer white over tanned, to me tanned (if not genetic) means your skin just when through a massive oxydative stress. People have preferences everywhere, no need to « ism » it.
I love all the umbrellas everywhere. I'm extremely fair and sun spots are huge concern for me I get so scared when I see how the sun treats your skin after decades. If I lived in Korea I would feel so much safer and their fashion options and small clothing sizes that I can finally not alter are just 😍
These stores are so wonderful and America used to have stores that were thoughtful, back when we had a more polite society. I love the extra touches and the respect they show to the shoppers. The shoppers behave politely. Makes Walmart look like a weekend tractor pull.
The only thing that blew my mind and something you didn't mention with more than a short visual clip, is that they put the black dog in a white t-shirt - that's really smart as their black fur would become really hot in the sun otherwise, now they can come along during the day, as long as the pavement is cool or they wear some kind of boot or sock. And the dog wore a beaded necklace, likely not as a fashion statement, but to combat certain ailments with color, crystals and perhaps combined with aroma therapy. That's actually cool, and very holistically aware. Or they just dressed their dog up, but I actually doubt it.
one of the reasons for “protecting” themselves from the sun is just colorism tho and shopping must be good if you fit into the limited sizes most stores carry
I live in Korea. The head coverings are sooo dumb. I’m given them to try on clothes but never use them. They just end up in the trash. Such a waste really. Another thing I hate is that a lot of stores won’t even let you try on tops or dresses, only bottoms. 🙄
Comments saying sun protection is just because of colorism should stand under the sun with the heat from burning aspalt, street trees that barely cover the sunlight, 90%RH, and no wind
the reason why pale skin is attractive is because it means that you have healthy skin and you take care of it, i genuinely hate how majority of people always complain about toxic kbs but there are so many other countries that have the exact same bs??
No it came from the older times in Korea, being pale meant u stayed inside a lot and were rich enough to do it, being tanned meant u had to work hard in the sun/ were poor also some cross with being a slave which is why they hate it so much

Consumerism meets perfectionism 😮
And racism.
Just wanted to add additionally to the part where sunscreen is more culturally applied here in SK, is because it used to be a thing that was broadcasted mainly in the common TV shows. There would be programs telling the importance of wearing sunscreen during the summer and even to places that involved swimming. Also, health related programs were mainly watched by the generation where the people are now all elderly who have a proper family. This probably went down generations passed on to knowing how it’s important to wear anything that can cover your arms, legs and head from heat and the sun. Also, every year and during the summer season, SK’s government sends alert to the Korean citizens to warn them that there would be a heat wave. Which also tells the elderly and mostly the weak, to stay indoors and away from the heat. The public umbrellas were made to help the elderly sit or stay away from the heat that could prevent heat loss in case of inevitable outdoor activities..people were just more educated about skin related health issues in the past that now became more like a cultural thing. But anyways it’s fun to see how people from different regions think about SK just coming from this content.
I won't deny the stores are cool, but I do NOT wish we had those beauty standards here. You do know the reason for sun protection everywhere is because of the "pale skin" beauty standard and not actually for protection against skin cancer, right?
Not pale skin, healthy bright glossy flawless skin they like. Koreans are typically much more brighter skin tone than any other Asian.
@@anais3913 you're right, it's not just about the light color but also about the flawless texture. It still rubs me the wrong way because it's not about health but about being obsessed with "perfect" skin.

@@Orynae I get where you’re coming from and in fact, unrealistic beauty standards come from almost ANYWHERE as long as there is an imperfect human being. I’m sure not everyone wears suncream as a purpose to “fit in” the standard beauty type because it goes along with their own preference. As far as I could say, suncream is still(whichever product you use, either tinted or not) a part of sun protection that will not look as cute when you apply it. So why would they wear suncream “just to fit in beauty standards”? Whatever reasons, wearing suncream is still more beneficial than you think it is. Also, I recommend you to look into SK’s history because it goes along a long way where they had men wear makeup as well. If you think beauty standards derive just from Korea? No.. it comes from any country with a history. So please, I don’t stand sides with unrealistic values BUT it’s just people having different opinions on what they view and favor. Just let them be.
You should look into Hwarang and traditional Korean makeup that was used back in Joseon dynasty. They had bright powder and tinted makeup to look more youthful back in the days. Idk why you’re trying to claim the beauty standards other country has but if you know how to respect another culture, i’m pretty sure you won’t sound as arrogant.
One thing I noticed about Asian countries is the amount of waste for one use items, mostly plastics. Do you need plastic disposable gloves every time you cook? Or even the shield in the dressing room, where does it go? In the ocean, the landfills? Their products are over packaged with plastic wrapping. And things like single use facial masks that are not biodegradeable, etc. They’ve definitely influenced consumerism in the US.
So true. So so so so true.
who the fuck uses disposable gloves every time when you’re cooking??? be serious rn not even chefs use that shit and if they do its small food stalls where you make active contact with food (kimbap)
I guess its a precaution because of the population density (?), but yeah there is such a thing as performative "safety".
They make all of those products, so they don't care. In all of these videos, you'll be hard pressed to find anything that about their land fill system and their "recycling."
@@SLANKEY342 yes. They’re a fully plastic society. They even package foods already in their own packaging in more packaging like fruit with peels
The sun protection is such a big thing there not just because of cancer or they want to protect themselves from the sun, it's just because they don't want to get dark.
It's more like to avoid getting dots or freckles. It's really difficult to get rid of it.
It is for cancer prevention.

@resurgam75
No, that's very different. I'm black, love my skin color, but don't want dark spots or any hyperpigmentaion. That doesn't mean I think dark skin is ugly.
But yeah, dark skin is seen as ugly there.
But if we're being honest, dark skin is seen as ugly here in America, too.
Not nearly as much but still. I mean, we can't act as if darker skinned people don't still get bullied in the west. They do.
Heck, darker individuals are KILLED over here, especially if they are Black or Latino.
Every beauty store DOES NOT have all those bells and whistles. Why lie?
Atleast in America they carry shades for people who aren’t fair/pale
I hope you are joking, because comparing S.Korea with America is doesn't make sense. America has black people / black Americans as its population, there are also many Asians and Europeans, in essence America is a country with various human races, while Korea is not like that, so it is very natural that the shade of makeup is adjusted to the majority of the population, which is bright (in sk)
@@purinchan888 Lmao there are definitely MANY Koreans and other Asians that are brown. You can look up any number of Koreans/Asians talking about how they struggle to find shades that match them in Korea. It's crazy ( and willfully ignorant) that you somehow think only black people have brown skin

@@AriyanaDavis-bf7ri yes?? it's so colorist. especially bc they not only want to be light themselves but look down on those who are dark

Fr 😕
No..they just don't want wrinkles, age spots and skin cancer. The sun damages the skin. I thought that was common sense...
believe me it's not only about sun protection, they have a huge amount of products claiming to lighten your skin. Their beauty standards promote very pale white skin and tan skin is seen as inferior like in most asian countries...
Tan skin is not considered to be inferior. Wtf would you say that?? Korea have tan skinned artist too. Asians prefer to have fair skin doesn't mean that they look down on dark skin. There are freaking tanning shops too. You just want to create hatred. Btw, why is bad wanting to have fairer skin while you want to tann or dark skin? Do you want to be black?
It's also due to the fact that people died bcs of heat stroke. So they take precaution a bit more
Unlike US where they honestly don't care
Don’t you think having several layers of clothing adds to it? Couldn’t it be their blatant hatred of being darker skinned as they perceive it to be dirty? Seems more plausible
They've got a pretty rough UV index, comparable to the American Southwest. Skin damage causes blemishes and freckles and South Korea beauty standards involve clean, clear, even skin tone (and often youthful features)

Sun protection thing is a necessity here in Asia especially if the country is located near the equator, since the heat can get up to 50 degrees. So if you don’t want to get sunburn or skin cancer, use skin protection 😅
What’s weird is that in california, where I grew up, sun protection isn’t that big of a thing even though the temperature can get to that and hotter in some areas. I was raised with the “sunscreen for EVERYTHING” mentality, but plenty of my friends and people in the area didn’t see it as that big of an issue.
Nah, Texas is hotter and it ain't even that crazy here. It's just colorism as usual.
@antidave I'm also from Texas and agree, unless the UV index is higher. I moved from Texas to New Mexico and I need to start wearing sunscreen daily because I burn so quickly here, when I didn't back home. Turns out the UV index is way higher
@@antidave I'm Korean, and "anti-aging" is a much bigger deal here. I thought it was common sense that ultraviolet (UV) rays cause aging.

Just a reminder that you will rarely find anything above a size 8 in women's clothes (even at a size 8 I've seen women have to wear dresses as shirts to get by).
Hopefully there's been improvement, but it wasn't that long ago you still had to shop in Hongdae for even a limited selection.
I just moved (US) and in California all the kids clothes were too skinny and long for my kids, I moved to the South East and now all the shirts are shout and very wide like square cloths with arms that feel nearly as wide as long. Weirdly, looking at the children in both places reflects that. The food serving sizes have also changed and I’m realizing they serve more food to serve taller bigger people with harsher summers and winters. It made me realize that if I went to some Asian countries not only would the clothes all be too small but I might eat less. 😅 I really want to buy clothes from Korea, china, and Japan but I’m worried any sizing because I’m not “tall” in US but I am curvy. I’m excited about Thailand and Vietnam though because I know they have tailors!! So I don’t have to worry about this being sized to me.
i love skincare but i guess theres a reason why they are willinh to go that far and spend big bucks for their store, aesthetic vibe, etc. bc they know what sells in korea. theyre creating some sort of high standard and its sustaining their beauty businesses
You will only experience such amazing experience if u r white and culturally beautiful korean 💖
Facts ✨
Lol don't flatter yourselves. It's all about the 🤑
The scan of your skin is so cool!
sure but is not done by a real dermatologist so don't accept it as a real diagnosis.
The giant faces in the middle of the store....I would be absolutely terrified 😅 I love having irrational fears 🤣
I’d try clothing somewhere else because I actually want to be able to find my size 😐
I'm sure they have all the sizes available to try and they give you the unworn new item at purchase
i know you want to believe the narrative foreigners have about sk where everyone is stick thin and while that is their beauty standard, it’s not how the average person in sk actually is. you can still get a decent range in sizes in sk.
@@arain764niara not really my Korean friend, she is considered tall for a Korean woman 5’10 and forget finding size. She was ordering her clothes online from American and European brand. Now that she immigrated here in Canada she said that it is so freeing not just the clothes part but all the skincare regiment, makeup, peer pressure to get plastic surgery and the weight of fitting in at all cost.
@@arain764niara It's difficult find bigger than a size 8 in Korea. It's possible but usually you have to go out of your way to find such places. One of the few is in Hongdae, and even that is limited, you won't necessarily find fashionable clothes.
@@burnt-croissants No you can't lol. Even people that are size 8 have a hard time finding their size. Simon and Martina lived in Korea from around 2008 to 2019, Martina constantly warned that you should assume you will not find the clothes you need above a size 8. She often had to wear dresses as shirts when shopping in regular stores or clothes sold in stalls.
i like the sun protection stuff but i feel like part of it is to avoid tanning like its a sin
That’s LARGELY the reason don’t let them gaslight you and pretend it’s only for health reasons✨ Koreans look down on darker Asian ethnicities it’s an open secret
The umbrella thing is so true - even as a little kid my mom would carry a umbrella over my head in korea bc of the sun - and ngl the makeup and skincare stores are amazing - next to them sephora is a drugstore
The beauty pressure in Korea seems insane, that must take such a toll on their mental health. Also they wear sunscreen not for skincare but because darkness is seen as less than.
Their marketing strategy is very good👍
I just love south korea ❤❤
They should have umbrellas at every spotlight here in the US too
Or plant trees
@@hounamao7140 Planting trees would be much more effective. It would lower the temperature, avoid floods, and provide natural shade. Sadly, I'd seen a lot of people going against that just because trees would mean insects, as if a freaking heatwave is any better
@@skybunny6258 I used to live in a townwhere they have tree alleys for pedestrians to walk through and cars go around, it was the best thing ever. Insects don't like trees much, they like meadows, which are absent in town. Ofc you might have some in the tree, but it's not like their will be a swarm of insects around it, people seriously...
Let's stop pretending the sun protection thing is actually about sun protection. It's just colorism. Asian countries are obsessed with fair skin and getting tanned is treated like a disease.
It is a bit, like its basically your body reacting to your skin oxydative stress after uv radiation.
So linking healthy skin to not being tanned isnt totally crazy.
Obviously that doesnt concern those born with high melatonin skin.
We used to worship white too in Europe, and at some point it switched (possibility of going to the sea on holidays) and people got into roasting themselves in the sun and perceive tan as healthy.
You know two things can be true at the same time right?
The paleness is the true reason if there were no protection from sun they would still do it to avoid being tan and they know this is true which is why they get defensive
The true motive is to fit the pale beauty standard if the sun wasn’t harmful but still tanned them they would still avoid it
Why is it only an issue when people embrace their light skin and want to maintain their fair complexion? Sounds like you're colorist.
The head cover makes so much sense. I've been grossed out seeing new clothes with someones make up all.over it
I feel like having one display clothing item in every size would make a lot more sense than having people just try on everything it’s so much more sanitary to have the ones people try on and then separate ones that are for buying and once you don’t want to sell that item anymore you can donate the try on display goods
Them bringing you brand new clothes in the stores is all I’ve ever wanted.
as an asian that migrated to spain, i was shocked to know that they absolutely do not care about the sun and gets icky when they see people using umbrella during sunny days
Same thing in Japan ❤
But it’s also important to mention that there is a level of colourism involved with the extreme sun protection in east asia. People don’t want the sun to touch them not just cuz of harmful UV rays but also because brown or darker skin is seen as unattractive and not high class.
Dark skin think they can't get sunburned that's absurd
Yeah but thats the same thing in europe, im very white and all my summers have been « do you live in a cave? Why are you so white » and lots of passive agressive comments, meanwhile people would roast themselves in the sun with the cult of « tannism » if we are going with the ism lol.
I actually prefer white over tanned, to me tanned (if not genetic) means your skin just when through a massive oxydative stress.
You’re right they’re obsessed with paleness because they know how people who aren’t pale are treated in Korea. Korea is known to look down on other ethnicities that are darker.
@@hounamao7140It’s not the SAME thing 💀 You are not treated as subhuman for being pale. You are not seen as lower class for being pale. You are not prevented from entering nightclubs for being pale. You are not denied jobs for being pale. Your experience in EUROPE (not Korea) barely qualifies as teasing.
@@n.m6015 they don't do that c'mon, I lived in both Korea and Japan. If you are tanned you might just have a bit less success finding a partner based on physical appearance that's it. You talk like apartheid is going on there lol.
I korea the sizing is also extreme. Youre atleast two more sizes in korea than your real size. Im a european xs, in korea i would be a medium or large. If you are a european medium you most likely have to go to a plus size store in korea. Thats insane.
So is the service that good in **every** clothes store or just the ones available to some people?
The sun protection is extreme for a cold country. It would make sense in Australia, etc. but I can't help wondering if it's just to keep people from pigmenting because of this belief that white is right
Umm sorry to say, but you do know that all skin types are prone to skin cancer therefore most people should be applying sunscreen in any continent.(but yes, I do agree with the part where you said Australians should be applying it more often because their UV rays are more stronger than other regions) And also, most sunscreens have Zinc Oxide which leaves a white cast that actually protects your skin from getting sunburnt, which unfortunately doesn’t explain why you say Koreans “believe” being white is right. If you’re trying to refer to “looking white is better” being common in SK’s beauty standard, i’d say that’s nothing to do with the West, it’s more likely coming from wanting a youthful, baby smooth looking skin with no spots or acne. If you haven’t looked around Korean cosmetics, there’s a lot of product related to acne, hyperpigmentation and pores. They are more into THAT instead of what you’re claiming what Korean beauty standards really are. Sorry to say this but also beauty isn’t really a fixed concept, everyone defines differently and i’m sure Koreans also have variety of different tastes in beauty too. The cosmetic brands and the commercials targeted the most globally don’t represent the whole of SK.
Oh, and also in the video itself showed a scanner scanning her skin barrier. This just shows how people are really more into skin care and wanting to take right treatments into making your own skin looking much brighter and youthful.
So sorry for the long comment, just wished it was helpful.
Not just tanning issue. UV light is the major reason for skin aging and there is no turning back.
No, actually it would be better if countries all around the world had those items(?) to protect people skin from uv rays
cold country?? Korea is hot in summer is it that hard to believe …
Michigan has similar weather to S.K., we still need sun protection every day here as well... it doesn't just apply to hot weather, that's not how skin cancer works lol.
let me emphasize that korea is obsessed with brands. you're kind of pressured to wear very nice clothes and accessories because you will be judged negatively if you're not dressed well
lol the clothing thing only works if you're thin 😅 so don't go just for clothes shopping
Whoever reads this Jesus loves you ❤❤
you guys are saying they burn easily, which may be true, but all of the east asians i know (10+) would explain this as them not wanting to get dark over the summer. They have lots of UV clothing as well too. Nothing to beoff-putt by just setting the record straight!
The sun protectant thing has to do with colorism though!
The only idea I like is having more shade on sidewalks and parking areas. Preferably from shade trees but large umbrellas are fine too
The dog 😂🥰
After working retail in the US for over 20 years, this would never work here. Unfortunately, our culture is very me me me, and the general population do not give one care about other people.
I love the idea of having try on clothes and purchasing clothes. That's brilliant
This seems like an episode from black mirror to me. People obsessed with their looks. The sun protection is probably because they don't want their skin to tan.
damn can we get some of those umbrellas down here in Florida 😂 the bustops in the bad neighborhoods don’t even have shades over them.
Love the quality control!
And this is why Sephora falls in the Korean market because their skincare is so affordable and very good.
Love the skincare and sunscreen. Hate the toxic beauty standards.
Sun protection there is so they won't get dark, whereas we wear it to protect our skin. The colorism is so loud there.
Don’t know what made you think that Koreans don’t use skin protection to protect skin lmao…are you initially thinking sunscreen is there to make them “looking white”? Because if so, why would anyone wear suncream when there’s various of shades to choose from the foundation collection? Just for your information, suncream is initially white casted, and it normally doesn’t suit on any skin tones in general because it looks unnatural when it leaves a white cast. So i’m saying, why would people apply suncream for “wanting to look white?” Isn’t that a bit too stretched forward? Try not to bring some other country down and putting yourself up. There’s no need to be shading others that want to protect their skin.

I come from a third world country, and when ever we shop clothes, we are given brand new packaged clothes to buy, unlike here in germany, where you literally have to shop clothes that were being tried on several times by multiple people, tossed and stepped on, and left on the floors in the trying room 🤮
You're supposed to wash new clothes anyway, so I don't care if they were tried on by someone else before. What do they do with those clothes that don't get sold then, throw them away?
@@vernoningning it's not about whether someone has worn it before, or if it laid on the floor, it's about how the clothes were produced: "clothing manufacturers don’t need to disclose any of the treatments and finishes that they use to customers, and many of the chemicals applied to the clothing have little or no research to back up their safety. The chemicals that they use could pose health risks to people, and they could also end up in the air and water supplies, where they could do further harm. It’s a messy-albeit tidy-situation, and it’s best to avoid contact with these finishes." I copied this from somewhere else because my English isn't so good :) basically you should wash them not only because of germs/funghi etc. but also because of the chemicals used in production.
@@La.w13 but the same could apply to laundry detergents as well...most of the fragrances and chemicals used in these detergents are neurotoxic and hormone disruptors...so what do we do about those chemicals then?
@@vernoningning you're absolutely right which is why I only use mild laundry detergents that are free of fragrances.
I mean, having the clothes to try on and pulling stock from the back makes so much more sense. No point hanging multiples of one size on the show room floor. In France they don't even have multiple sizes out, you have to ask the shop girl to go grab your size
I think it depends on the shop rather then "every"
that store is so dystopian
We have alot of sun protection here in Denmark too. Also in our products❤ It's very important to stay out of the sun when it's at it's highest from noon 12O'clock too 3O'clock. We also have sentitive skin. And uva + uvb sunscreen filters in makeup products 🎉
Love the three studs earrings and the ring and the Row dress is the same last season Toteme I got that in vanilla bcs well I liked that color more it is so princess style dress but wearable.
Sun protection is just colorism honestly. In a lot of Asian countries (south and SEA included) the lightness of the skin is associate with economic class and perception of education and competency not to mention beauty. So yeah, sun protection is not simply just to protect against skin cancers and conditions but is a translation of colorism bias in society as well

I love all the umbrellas everywhere. I'm extremely fair and sun spots are huge concern for me I get so scared when I see how the sun treats your skin after decades.

I like the photo booth so much😊
okay fuck everything else but them checking the clothing like that was actually awesome
The sunscreen and protection usage is because of fair skin.
These stores are so wonderful and America used to have stores that were thoughtful, back when we had a more polite society. I love the extra touches and the respect they show to the shoppers. The shoppers behave politely. Makes Walmart look like a weekend tractor pull.

The only thing that blew my mind and something you didn't mention with more than a short visual clip, is that they put the black dog in a white t-shirt - that's really smart as their black fur would become really hot in the sun otherwise, now they can come along during the day, as long as the pavement is cool or they wear some kind of boot or sock. And the dog wore a beaded necklace, likely not as a fashion statement, but to combat certain ailments with color, crystals and perhaps combined with aroma therapy. That's actually cool, and very holistically aware. Or they just dressed their dog up, but I actually doubt it.
that's a country centered itself around materialism and toxic beauty standards
Amen
I wish we had those shade spots in the UK, ik our sun isn't thay bad but goddamn I'm so tired of burning so easily even with sun protection on 😅
one of the reasons for “protecting” themselves from the sun is just colorism tho
and shopping must be good if you fit into the limited sizes most stores carry
I live in Korea. The head coverings are sooo dumb. I’m given them to try on clothes but never use them. They just end up in the trash. Such a waste really. Another thing I hate is that a lot of stores won’t even let you try on tops or dresses, only bottoms. 🙄

No it came from the older times in Korea, being pale meant u stayed inside a lot and were rich enough to do it, being tanned meant u had to work hard in the sun/ were poor also some cross with being a slave which is why they hate it so much
