skin whitening will always break my heart.
Im south asian and I remember watching ads saying if you have fair skin you can get a bf or a job. it's so sickening and dangerous :(
@@hoonlovies8608 I’m so sorry that happened to u! Every skin colour is beautiful and dark skin is a sign of healthy and beautiful skin 💕
@ oh really i still wear sunscreen since the sun ages your skin.
If the ad true, then the ads you mean only promoting their product with dumb harsh quote. Many successful and charming people without fair skin.
@@happiness6435 IN BOLLYWOOD? r u kididng me. i have never seen a dark skinned actor/actress ever
@ you still need the same amount of sunscreen if you don’t wanna get wrinkles or skin cancer tho
I think that being hairless is a important factor for most idols, specially female
oh yeah, that's so true. There's a girl who makes videos about her experiences as an idol and she said that her company took her and her members to get their armpits lasered so they're permanently hairless. She said that they weren't forced and could refuse to do it but apparently this is what with female idols do. Her videos are really interesting her channel name is soobeanie_. Also male idols literally never have facial hair.
@@flo_o996 I'm a girl and I started shaving my whole face because seeing male idols without facial hair made me insecure idek why. Now I stopped.
@@flo_o996 omg i also watched a video of an ex-idol and she said thats bc laser hair removal is less expensive than waxing in SK
when i saw hairless i thought actually shaving off their head
@@user-ke2dl9se5l same 😂 until i read the whole thing
I always feel so sad when there's a pressure for asian people to be whiter. And then, as an European, a lot of people around me want to look darker...
IkR?! I have a very fair skin and ppl make fun of me...
People have different standards of beauty.
Still not comparable. White privilege still exist within those who get a tan, and being pale doesn't prevent you from getting a job as it does being an actual dark skinned person
exactly..
in my country, everyone trys to make their skin darker.. I have fair skin and I don't understand why people worries a lot about colour of skin..
I don't change it and they are always shocked because of my attitude towards it. 🤔🤷♀️ who decided what skin color is good or bad?! 😕
they already have beautiful skin color..
that's sad, people doesnt know value of their individual beauty. 🤦♀️
@@maritodua96 that's good. No matter what they say, we must stay true to what we know is right, so that we can change others' perspective, even if its just a few people. Just a few people saying that you look beautiful the way you are can make a really big impact on our mindset.
I remember most K-Pop idols having more tanned skin tone until around 2011-13. Then their skin (or makeup) gradually became lighter and lighter :/
True
Yes
That’s really interesting, because that was the timeframe that K-Pop started to become noticed in the US. This video said that International fans (showing BTS footage from in the US) have been campaigning for idols to promote with their natural skin tone, but compare this to your observation and it’s the opposite. It really shows just how far society has changed within the last decade, but there’s still so many harmful standards and “compulsory” ideals that are pushed onto people to fit society’s “norms”. This is especially prevalent in countries who still hold very traditional beliefs and views in Latin America, Eastern Europe, remote communities in Africa, LEDCs and removed locations in Asia, and isolated Oceanic islands and settlements. I hope everyone in the future can grow up in a society where they aren’t judged for how they look, say, think, or feel, and that they’re free to express themselves.
Cause at that time photoshop and filters were not so advanced....
Totally, I realize that too. Perhaps those who still have tanned skin tone are bigbang? Cause from the vid of them on military performing it seems like that
I feel so proud when some idols beat this standards and create their own
yess queen hwasa!
Hwasa and Jessy 💜
Hwasa
create their own, and new crazieness
Standards shouldn’t be created in the first place.
Not related but love how most 4th gen idols are aware of these toxic standards ( women) and are slowly coming off of it and most girls (4th gen) girls feel confident in their bodies like olivia hye and ryujin
They are two isolated example, and are not representative of the entire 4h gen. Even Ryujin lost the weight she gained during the Wannabe era. In LOONA, while Olivia Hye is a bit thicker, other members are crazy thin. There is generally a double standard, for some idols it's okay to be a bit fuller, for others, they get harass as soon as they gain some weight. Overall, I feel like the toxic standards are the same really, the newly debuted idols still go through a crazy diet to debut, and many still go through surgery. For example, numerous pictures seem to show that Yuna from Itzy got a subtle nose surgery between Wannabe and In the Morning (Despite the fact that I have mostly seen great things about Yuna's visual since debut?) Other idols clearly got plastic surgery (Ex. Winter from Aespa) in order to debut. These toxic standards are still pretty much in place, and many are promoted by international fans who thin-shamed or fat-shamed idols constantly.
Also, the idea that an idol feels confident is really misleading. An idol can seem to be confident while being incredibly insecure / receiving internal pressure by their company to lose weight. To take another example from Itzy, Chae said in a video that she was terribly insecure about her physical appearance, despite singing about self-confidence (she slimmed down a lot for In the Morning). We really don't know what happens behind close door, and the truth is that idols' bodies are constantly talked about, imagine gaining a bit of weight unintentionally and have hundreds of comments saying: oh she looks thicker, even if these comments praise the idol, it may be very detrimental for their mental health (Ex. Comments saying: she looks so much better now she gained some weight, while the same idol was bullied for being on the thicker side few months earlier). On the other end, if an idol lose some weight, people are quick to talk about ED and calling them sick.
@@jessicajessica4392 omg I think I'm the only one realize that chaeryoung looks more thin In The Morning comeback
Same with iz*one I'm honestly surprised how most of them doesn't do any ps and still looking beautiful ... they even called "visual group" by knetz + knetz always say they're a very all-rounders group
YESS
@@jessicajessica4392 oh okay well said btw
I'm so glad u talked about those butt pads push up bras. Almost all girl idols have a hourglass figure because of those things u think all of the woman are perfect and aren't insecure but I think of them as bad cuz they give a false sense of security and doesn't make u love yourself it just tricks u for a while and then u get depressed again.
I agree alot
its not easy for them to accept themselves too, especially considering the fact that theyre public figures who can literally lose a job or get into a scandal just bc of looks. their fans are literally obsessed with their bodies they wont stfu for a damn minute. what im tryna say is that theyre not the ones coming up with these standards theyre victims as well. stop blaming them for wearing those and telling they should stop. its much deeper than it is. if these things make girls feel more confident and prettier on stage then let them do it, its their job to look good remember? theyre called IDOLS for a reason
Yep. I like to look at Korean fashion. And I was like how are these girls so curvy now but thin. I could tell they don't do weightlifting, so do they achieve that body. Butt pads...I didn't know it was big in Korea.
@@user-pt4mp8tt9o Why tf am I blaming them like people like u always twist somebody else's words like that. What I said was none of the things we see or get told from them are not always the truth like how they say no to surgeries or body pads like u cannot trust everything u see or hear and that makes it more depressing the more we accept it the more people start to make it seem normal when it shouldn't even be a trend or necessary like I never thought of them as body goals or role models cuz how tf u be weighing like a child and still be curvey and thicc and doesn't work like that and we as the younger generation believe this and think we also have to do this. Hwasa of mamamoo is a good example of saying it's okay to have fat and be thicc and curvey or like sunmi and yoona from snsd to be normally and healthy thin. I hope people start to accept more body differences as well as metabolism and the healthy truth then those media lies and advertisements.
@@makar9689 i agree
Don't forget you look bigger on a camera than in real life so imagine how thin they accually are
Yeah camera puts on 5kg on you. ..
they sing and dancing like crazy and y'all can't let them eat 💀
And they can't let their muscles breath like muscles are very important in the body
Right, and there are even toxic fans saying they should lose weight. It's sickening, I am legit a MINORITY and am a few kilos heavier than most idols. And I'm only 5'4 at the moment. It's so terrible that idols have to do this
I think you are getting “Botox” and “fillers” confused. You cannot use “Botox” to make someone’s nose bridge look higher or make lips more full/heart shaped.Botox is a muscle relaxant used to lift or relax muscles where fillers such as Restalyn or Juvederm is used to achieve a higher more even nose bridge, pointed chin and full heart shaped lips.
They also mentioned hyloronic acid which just helps keeps the water in your skin not shape your nose
Acids on your face were also made out to be scarier than they really are. Botox is very limited too, it dissipates over time so you need to go back for more. Media has made it out to be like it’s some procedure almost like plastic surgery
I remember before getting into k-pop I used to be confident about myself and my looks...but after getting into k-pop it made me more self conscious and I lost confidence in myself
than thats your problem
@@reiihino6046 yes I am talking about myself only did I asked for your help?? No
@@winterpromise2523 I didn’t tell that I was helping u either.
@@reiihino6046 I know that's my problem you didn't needed to tell me Okay?🙂
You are beautiful in your own way. Don't let unrealistic beauty standards define you - humans were created differently and that's a wonderful thing♥️ Your worth as a human being is not tied to your looks. Your mental health is of utmost importance- remove anything that could damage it. Take care!
Can i please say something, that i need to get off my chest:
I see kpop fans (particuraly international) always complaining about how strict and high Koreas body standards are, and obviously i agree with the fact that South Korea has incredibly dangerourse and borderline fatal beauty standards that need to be achieved just to be even taken seriously in the Korean music industry, but sometimes i feel like this also has an impact on kpop fans themselves. I mean look at all the young and even teenage (really anyone) kpop stans who are constantly being reminded that being under 49kg is healthy regardless of height. It’s impacted them. Of course it has, even if you say it’s wrong and they agree, subconsiously it’s a stament in there mind that Koreas standards are what are really acceptable. And i see a seemingly subconsiouce rise in kpop stans comment on idols bodys and how “thick” they are - which obviously stems from insecureity. Although you might argue that being under 49kg is healthy for certain heights, IT IS STILL THIN. Most womean are between 45-70 kg in the west, and don’t bullshit me by saying “they just have that natrual frame” because you can lean towards a certain body type but no one is that thin without whatching what they eat. Yes idols like Lisa and Rose (blackpink) have “fast metabalisims” exist but you need to understand that ALL idols are extremely skinny. I hate seeing comments like “Hwassa is so thick” or “Jisoo is so thick” or “Ryujin is so thick” or “Allie is so thick” and i know you mean it as aa compliment but it’s actually not becauause it implys the absoloutly FALSE narrative that these womean arn’t skinny. When it so obvious they are. International kpop stans have the. EXACT same body standards as Korean fans, they just don’t take it as seriously. There is litterlay no overweight idol. The heaviest female idol is; 59kg that is not heavy at all despite what your standards are, and even if this idol wasn’t tall it still wouldn’t be heavy it would just be average. I literlay couldn’t find the weight of the heaviest male idol because they’v all lost so much weight. I just want you to understand that setting idols bodys as your standards is a little bit toxic because there unrealistic no matter what you think. Look at them - look at them properly are they fat?! are they thick?! no there not. There all thin and just because an idol eats normally dosn’t make them not skinny. Change your standards Korea, Change your standards kpop stans
This is exactly what i think. Thank you.
YAS!
straight up facts
When people say "thick" a lot of the time they just mean the thigh/butt proportion to the waist. It's true that they are all actually very slim, but sometimes you just say "thicc" because it's an easy to compliment their nice hip without flat out saying "I LIKE THE SHAPE OF HER THIGHS" so I feel like you're misinterpreting it a bit
I am a Kpop fan but i never say that jisoo and thick ryujin is thick hwasa is thick. I respect all the kpop idols and Kpop fans
Lol at all these comments saying "4Th gEn iDols r deViatiNg frOm KbeauTy sTd sO gOoD!! "
There is and will always be a standard. Alot of the idols you mentioned who 'dont conform to kbeauty std' ARE STILL conforming.
Ryunjin? She is literally the prettiest by any standard n with small waist which is another beauty standard. Yeji? She literally has the most proportional face. The same goes for any of the other kpop girls. Hwasa is probably the closest but she herself has the most well proportional body. Its nothing bad but the point is that this is all a useless topic bcs There IS ALWAYS A STANDARD.
All 4th gen ggs literally look the same with the same face features, they all fit the beauty standards to some extent.. I dont understand how the people in comment section are saying the 4th gen are separating themselves from the beauty standards when majority if not all of them fit it.
@@Judiwithluv that’s because there’s this huge misconception about every GenZ doing something revolutionary.
It’s truth that many 4th generation idoles are a little curvy, but that’s still a standard, and they mainly do that to appeal to the westerner audiences, since kpop is getting marketed there as well, so now idoles have to kinda fit both Koreans and westerner standards, plus they be talking as if having a slim thick hourglass figure is easier than being a skinny legend, lmao.
2.gen had some curvier female idols. But that was the time of sexy concepts. I really dont see any "empowering" figures in the big3 groups - Purple Kiss' Swan on the other side looks not as thin and she gets bashed AND praised at the same time. But big3? Nah. They live of the standards!
Ikr, like I'm pretty sure that some groups from the earlier generations did that, the generation I see now literally live up to the korean beauty standards. I don't know who's being revolutionary here
I'm so tired of fighting with people about ps, if they got it it's fine but not everything is ps not you have to point it out. Being beautiful is not easy and the amounts of money idols and their companies spend it's a huge part of why they look so far from us when it come to looks
If only idols weren't forced to fit the standards. Imagine people like Hwasa that would've gotten a chance to showcase their talent.
What is ps?
@@Riaaonline Plastic surgery. However, the correct term would be cosmetic procedures. As cosmetic surgery is alterations of appearance purely for aesthetic, and plastic surgery is for people who actually need it(like for health purposes).
@@cookieeees ohh thank you
they should at least be vocal about having a ps because it makes fans insecure about their appearance
I want to point out an idol I believe is breaking some standards! Lee Haechan his skin is not as pale as others and he embraces it which has helped me coming from a family that doesn’t like tanned skin ! Or hwasa !!
Agree...many idols were tanned than the others but they are so handsome and freaking hot, like mingyu, mingyu is tanned but he's the visual
Haechan is so popular in social media now because of his melanin and tanned skin
There's nothing wrong with using hip pads or injections or anything else, the issue is making it seem like that's what they are naturally and it is not achievable by average people
If I don't fit the beauty standards, then I will make my own standards.
-hwasa
can you talk more about what the male idols go through? I've always seen female idols troubles but i would like to know what happens with the men(bc equality and curiosity)
Yeah me either
Me too
samee
Amber from fx said there are standards for male idols but they are nor as pressured as female idols.
I guess basic requirement is muscles? Nose? White skin? Double eyelids?
i guess they atleast should have muscle no matter how small it is
Many idols were tanned than the others but they are so handsome and freaking hot, like mingyu, mingyu is tanned but he's the visual
Haechan is so popular in social media now because of his melanin and tanned skin..ryujin is so confident about her body and she looks healthy
Hwasa break the K-standard also
I know that what the k-pop idols do to themselves is cause of the society's pressure and expectations , but it's really sad and dangerous how they also set such realistic beauty standards for their fans (since most of them are underage, they tend to get influenced easily)
I glad that idols like Hwasa are there who try to normalise what should've been normal a long time ago.
Sorry for my ignorance but how idols set standards for the fans..?
It´s their fans who set standarts for their Idols and themselves alike.
Their Idols look good, so they want that too and pressure everyone else who doesn´t agree without even noticing.
Body shaming isn´t from Idol to fan, but rather from fan to Idol, when you get what I mean ^^
The thing is, if your body is building muscles is because you need them, and you show your organism that you need muscles by doing strength exercises or activities that require strength, like dancing. So, if your OWN BODY is using energy to create muscles is because it felt it was NECESSARY for your health. People (and especially idols, who have this crazy routine of performances and dancins and training, along with not enough time to take care of themselves) really shouldn't try to get rid of any lean body mass.
Drink water and stay safe, guys
If you look at SM girlgroups you will notice that SM always put 1 girl that has big bone (Sunny snsd, Luna f(x), Yeri RV, Ningning Aespa. It's quite refreshing than watching a group full with petite girls
Yeah theyre the best at picking refreshing visuals
It makes them stand in both positive and a negative way. I mean they get body shamed a lot for being “fat”. Take yeri as an example, she has a bigger and wider bone structure making her seem a bigger than her other members. Yet she weighs the same as the members but ppl ( I mean people who love to body shame) can’t see that and will hate on her.
That’s why this can have both cons and pros.
@@Faye-Jane yeah it kinda makes them the punching bag of haters and it can be quite hurtful for them when they get compared to other members
I’m glad you said, “Don’t compare yourself to them.” Please guys, heed her advice.
I HAVE BEEN SEEING COMMENTS LIKE FELLING SAD FOR ASIAN PEOPLE.
NOT ALL JUST EAST ASIAN BRUH, COUNTRY LIKE INDIA, PAKISTAN, PHILIPPINES, LAOS, MALAYSIA, UAE, OMEN AND MANY MORE, WE ARE NOT WHITE, WE ARE TANNED AND FUCKI*G PROUD THAT OUR SOCIETY DOESN'T FORCED TO BE WHITE.
This is the industry idols are living products
i am asian and i have a whiter skin tone but if you see it one of my friends have a dark skin tone but she still outshines most of us in terms of physical beauty whenever we take photos so i dont think skin colour has much to do with beauty
honestly speaking theres nothing wrong with push up bras and hip pads or butt pds but THE WAY KOREANS MAKING THESE ‘fake attributes’ AS A STANDARD is crazy
I have very pale skin and also have red hair but tanned skin is really beautiful. I also personally think it looks healthier. where I come from they prefer tanned skin. Because of my pale skin, people often think I'm sick. Sorry for my bad english btw 😅
All skin colors (pale, white, tan, black etc) are beautiful ✨
same! i'm latina but i have naturally pale skin (and because of quarantine it became even paler) and pretty dark under eye circles, and sometimes i feel like i look sick even when i'm completely healthy. people often tell me about how white my skin is in comparation to others where i live and i know they don't mean any harm but damn, it makes me insecure and that's kinda sad.
You have red hair too?! Where are you from.
@@pumpkin.x I'm from Belgium 🇧🇪 and where are you from? 😊
@@danielaordonez6596 You are so right ❤
Botox isn't what changes lip or nose shape, that is filler. They're two different yet often mistaken for each other.
Ever since I was a teenager, I really wanted to undergo plastic surgery to improve my appearance. I hated my fugly self back then but the surgery cost is out of my budget so I became depressed.
Then the pandemic happened and the quarantine was put in place in 2020 until now. As I have no outdoor activities, I started to practice skincare and opt for a healthy diet. Voila, 2021 changed me into someone new (you can see before-after on my YT banner). Even my sister was taken aback after seeing how much I've changed. Can't wait to go back outside and show my glow ups to other coworkers lol
So, is beauty worth it? All of my yes. But is surgery worth it? I guess no since there are plenty of healthier, non-invasive, and much MUCH cheaper option to glow yourself up.
omg you've changed so much-
this is really inspiring, thank you so much
cant believe the banner shows 2 pics of the same person! i mean i can, but i just cant.. the change is incredible.
You're not fugly xDD
Also once you get surgery, many will keep going back again and again and again until they become a disaster.
The problem with plastic surgery in the kpop community is that most of them lie that they never done it. I am pretty sure 98% has gotten some kind of surgery but they are still sold as ' natural beauty' . They also don't do it because they want to but because their agency encourages them to and they obviously want to become famous so they do it. It creates a wrong picture of how people look natural and is expecially toxic for the self esteem of many young teenagers. If I was an idol and gotten surgery and I knew that many people see me as a role model I would feel really guilty for guilt dripping them into believing I am born this way .
After I became a kpop lover I started to compare my skin colour with idol's.And I was so dispointed about my skin tone..😔but now I know that they are edited..thank you for that😊love ur self ☺
When she said olive oil the first thing that came to my mind is Oli London😂😂
I know it's not appropriate to say this but, Im glad I am not born in korea, 😅 Thier beauty standards are so high to reach out. Specially the white skin tone, slim body. The only i reach was my face is naturally V shape😅. But here in the Philippines if u have V shape some or should I say more people are teasing you. The cute face shape here is round and small face shape. But even i am Filipino I still hate the beauty standards in my country. If you have white skin people look at you as a beautiful person. Only few people appreciate the beauty of being black.🥺
Same tbh im happy im not born in korea, even tough france its not perfect its less strict than s korea
wow I didn't know that more than 40% of Korean Beauty Standards can be created/ carved/made with Plastic Surgery and editing photos. also I 💜 NotSo Superficial's voice.
I am glad hwasa scrape all those standards. 💚💚
Your voice is soothing 😍😍
When idols lighten there skin I sometimes wish they could use there regular tan skin tone I find it really beautiful.
Don't forget extensions, they use it a lot
Concept of the video is 👍🏻right.
Really amazing video hope it get's viral 🔥🔥🔥
This is utterly intoxicated. Not everyone gets influenced by beauty standards but, this dilemma never goes away. Thank you for bringing up this idea.
2:11 on point🤣🤣🤣
South korea - plastic
2:34 There are also chemical shots that they use. SM artists are known for doing that. Like Taeyeon. I'm an OG Sone and I know that's not her real skin tone
When someone being natural, the society judge them for not being classified as beauty standard or even bash their looks.
But when someone get something done so that they achieved what the society called as beauty standards, they still get bashed for being "unnatural"
conclussion: The society is the main problem. Our society need to remember that human aren't factory product that can get measured into certain standards. It's not like parents can control how their babies will born according to beauty standards.
Why can't we just normalize human being human, all colors are beautiful, all size and shapes are beautiful. Being beautiful naturally is great, getting something done is also great. People look the most beautiful when they're happy and being beautiful human being. That's it.
Word will be much in peace when society no longer over judgemental on this. We need more good hearts than just a good looks. ^^
Oh my goodness, I am much prettier then korean standard, and I love it.
Even after having double eyelid,nose bridge,fair skin, long yet sharp eyes and good looking lip
That's how my classmate described me
My eyes are long in length but Moreover they are small
Some of my aunt's make fun of me saying you look weird with those eyes
I always felt insecure but when my friend and classmate Said I'm beautiful yet most of my classmate have dark skin like olive or brown but I found them more attractive they said they feel ugly
In simple words people feel you are beautiful but you don't because you feel other are more beautiful
Never thought that Jennie from Blackpink where her fans said that her hips and thighs are their body goal when it's actually a hip pad.
Her body is still gorgeous without wearing a hip pad, most of her post are without hip pad. It's doesn't matter if she wears it, her body is still a body goal for me

I told myself as a kid whether I tan or become lighter, I will never use tightening cremes to change my beautiful skin.
i don't judge anyone for getting plastic surgery or going to great lengths to try to achieve beauty standards because they themselves are victims of this endless cycle of trying to reach 'perfection'. i wish people would just start putting the pressure on society and companies. theyre all still handsome and beautiful without losing a bunch of weight, or having flawless skin, or having perfectly aligned whitened teeth. i wish ppl would stop pressuring everyone to look like that because it's so unnatural. humans aren't designed to have those things. most people are not born with teeth that look like they have veneers, weighing close to nothing, or having skin without any sort of bumps or acne or "imperfections". i wish humans would just realize already how fucked up it is to expect all these things from people.
I love your channel
Can't they just wear wigs instead of dying their hair? Isn't that more safer ?
True
They are not good at it
@@skypink4404 they should learn from UA-cam. They should watch tutorials. It's wayyyy much more safer if they start wearing wigs.
There is something that people don't know, and many of East Asians have naturally white skin. So 10-20 years ago, tanning was the standard of beauty. Like Lee Hyori. It is not unnatural, but it also feels like correcting the original tone, so it does not look very negative from the perspective of Koreans.
'Asians natural tone is never be white' that is also your stereotype.
While i am super happy for the idols who are challenging and creating more ideal types -- it is STLL a standard to be moving towards. ie. i am happy if they can embrace their natural skin tone, if it is pale or dark -- but if you are constantly tanning to fit the "healthy sexy" (which is a weird description on its own) then that's also problematic? It's still trying to fit your body to a trending skin tone and that is Not self love. Same with body type. Of cos as a celeb u can't just do whatever u want as your image is currency, but I hope ppl will be the ideal version of themselves, which is the range that they most naturally fall in, that's different for everybody. Exercise and some dietary adjustments may be necessary but still enough energy for the day and a huge variety of nutrient sources! Forcing someone to be "thick" (which in kpop usually just means slim curvy and not really actually an amazingly beautiful thick body -- cos ppl who are actually thicker naturally and look gorgeous still get bullied for it cos they aren't "sexy" in that curvy manner, which is also a problem) or making everyone skeletons is overall just really unsustainable for the idols and introduces a million new insecurities to young fans
groups to do k-beauty standards , thin vs thin , kibbe , outfits , and hair for :
- oh my girl
- stayc
- weeekly
- loona
also more 2nd gen groups maybe ?
Please upload more often as your videos are so nice and please do an exid video
Exid is not disbanded
They are making a korean comeback from another company
Little correction. Hourglass is not about breast size. it's about shoulders. I'm hourglass with less than 1 size of the breast. This is about the silhouette, and it depends on the shoulders and hips.
in the UK , in georgian times it was common practice to wear white lead make-up which was poisnous
Also the fact that they HAVE to be 110lbs or less no matter what.
I have a goal of 120lbs because with my short height it's my ideal bmi.
They want them to be tall and slim which is just them pushing idols to be underweight.
Being underweight and extremely busy with performing and practicing isn't good because it can cause stress to the body.
(I know bmi doesn't mean much but I don't have special equipment to figure our the fat percentage.)
i love this
Skin products are heavily regulated in countries like Japan. Believe symptoms like the one in the picture you picked don't really happen, rather Japanese/Koreans turn to slightly healthier alternatives (eating lots of fruits and taking concentrated vit c supplements instead, doing skin peels weekly to remove dead skin cells) to whiten skin without the harsh chemical presented
Weeekly next !! Or Stacy💜
i literally got an ad about hair care products while watching this 💀
Saying that it is just part of the job or everyone is beautiful in their own kind of way doesn't take away from the fact that these beauty standards are extreme and unhealthy...
I like your video 👌 👏 coz you tell us the true ❤️💓
I beg you,please do Stayc next. Thank you
This is helping me so much right now because I feel like I don't look like a model and I'm trying rlly hard to look like one and its making me realize that lots of times its not all that real :)
Girl nothing about celebrities is real... Not only Korean but also most big Western artists got something done! But none of them discloses it because they don't want to destroy the illusion of them being naturally perfect
I subbed🥰
Cb you pls do stray kids vs Korean beauty standards?~
Do The Boyz vs korean beauty standards
This Is a nice vid
Do 2ne1 vs korean beauty standards
Yeah
With stray kids too
When I tell you how iconic they were. The stylists dressed them in pretty bold outfits, and the hairstyles, oh my god. Don't even get me started. Dara who was conventionally attractive got really weird and out of the box hairstyles, and it worked. It was unheard of for a gg back then to be so unconventionally attractive. I think that, Plus the fact that their music wasn't cute and all, were one of the main reasons they weren't as popular in Korea but had a huge international fanbase. 2nd gen groups were so diverse.
Literally all of 2ne1 except CL who strongly refused were forced to get plastic surgery. I feel bad for them tbh. And Park Bom got so much hate for gaining weight that one time too... UGH why can't we let these people live 😩
@@taeblends No that's the point. Park Bom was "fat" for Koreans but she still slayed. Dara was considered conventionally pretty but her outfits and hairstyles were far from it. Minzy too was considered to be "ugly" even after cosmetic procedures. CL wasn't considered feminine or idol like for the time because of how outspoken and badass she was. They were even shamed by Yg, for their visuals. But still they had a huge fanbase, mostly comprising of fangirls and look at them now. One of the most iconic GG's of the 2nd gen.
I just realized I wasn't subscribed! Holy moly
Haechan skin are so beautiful
Skin brightness or color and its perception is a chain reaction, if people want to change the perception, they should start it from themselves.. start appreciating differences.. alsoo we cant deny that society picks the brighter one over the dark one or vice versa in some regions (i know where).. so, really if ppl want to do something, start something, other than that if can’t better to find a place that fits :)
Sth i really want to emphasise here is that you should never compare yourself to kpop idols or any other celebrities bc it‘s „part of their job“ to look good. They may have gone through several procedures to look the way they look and spent a lot of time for skin care. We really don‘t need to do that to be beautiful. You definitely are enough.
I really hate the double eyelid, because sometimes it even didn't match the rest of the face features, besides some of the idol with make up or procedures make their eyes too big that look scary isntead of good. I prefer their original eyes because it looks fierce and great, and is the main characteristic of their race and they need to be proud of it, not try to look like western becuase is like they are against their own nature and that''s kind of sad u.u
Here beauty is like torcher.
5:55 you cannot put botox in the lips (botox helps to reduce the movement of the muscles this helps to reduce wrinkles because the skin doesn't crease and reduces the size of the muscle too), people use other types un injectables like fillers (normally this are hyaluronic acid base)
I wish my younger self knew about hips pad thingy because I went through very rough path because of my hipdips and watching every single idol having this perfect hips , I basically ruined my figure by doing those weird YT exercises
I haven't seen people talk about this, but I feel like the clothes idols wear really aren't flattering for the majority of the bodies those same idols have. They are forced into clothing that purposely makes non-skinny idols look not as nice in those outfits, even if they are under 50kg, but if you were to see those same idols in their regular clothes, maybe on airports or dance practices you would see that they are much much skinnier than what they appear to be in their stage outfits, and that makes me really sad. And, also, from a different perspective, the idols that do look good in stage outfits often look worryingly thin in normal clothes, often times because they starve themselves to look good on the stage. So sad :(
I didn’t even know there was such a thing as “Korean beauty standards”
As long as I’m 6’5” I’ll always stand out 😂💯
It's just because of the society we can even loose weight without dieting we just need to control our calorie intake and , it takes time but that's a healthy weight loss . Don't u agree??
Can you go a FX vs Korean Beauty Standards?
Purple Kiss vs Korean beauty standards pls
Please do 2pm vs korean beauty standard
To be fair that's why we can't find their unique points and can't recognise them as international audiences.
We like them for their songs, their lyrics, music, dance.
In our country India, yes nowadays some artists are getting consious of figure and all but mainly they don't do it this much.
I just want to tell everyone and idols, to love yourself before your career and so called beauty.
Who will love you, will always do so.
We purple you .

If any chance that I would be an IDOL, I wouldn't change my face or any part of my body, this is what I got and I need to keep it, whatever you say true beauty is really important, even you fired me, I WOULDN'T!!!
