If he's going to call Korea insane then I dont see any problem calling America an unsafe place to live with a government that doesn't prioritise health/education over military spending. | ||

Wouldn't have to hide (from most people) the fact that I put so much time & effort into my skin, hair and fashion. Plus I'm 6ft2 :3 I genuinely didn't have a clue Korea was like this. I thought it was all communist and old-fashioned! Thanks for opening my eyes. I'll probably start idolizing Korea more than I do Japan soon! This article's cheered me up on a depressing Monday morning! Thanks OP! ^^ | ||

I bought some Korean business pants the other day off yesstyle and I can't even fit my balls into that thing it was THAT skinny. Seriously wtf... the picture didn't look skinny at all or maybe I'm just fat now... One time I was walking around the mini K town place and my blue collar white friend asked me why everyone got a faggy haircut, I had to LOL on that one even though I'm Asian as well. Seriously though, I would hate to live in Korea, such ridiculous expectations and stress. | ||

That degree of vanity and ridiculous bigtime stress-inducing social norms, a xenophobic society (even as a light-skinned dude that wouldn't come under as much hate as other people, I really, really don't like this), and a pop/youth culture where you better adhere to a certain style/mold or you're looked down upon to a strong degree, among many other things, is pretty crazy bro. That's not shitting on them by observing simple realities about their society lol. Sorry if you're butthurt. And yes, despite your anti-Americanism, the US is a great country. I know you don't like the US for whatever reason, but it's a damn great place, especially SoCal  . And it's thanks to heavy and committed American economic relations, development, and investment in places like Aus and Korea that they are able to have the lifestyles they do today. | ||

Also for your points as to why the U.S. is awesome; Stress- Fair point S.K. has 3 times the suicide rate of the U.S., HomePrice- Hard to compare but we'll go with Seoul vs N.Y.C. and Rent in Seoul is 63% lower than New york. Racism- America is still not quite over Racism and the views of a lot of people on Hispanics is borderline so this one is subjective. War- We are constantly in war and the cost is pretty crippling so I would say the U.S. is actually worse off. Societal Vanity- America is very vain. I see more news about Kim Kardashian or Peyton Manning than Mitt Romney. But S.K. is still worse. Past Technological Achievements=Education? This is just not true. Just because we used to be the smart kids doesn't mean we still are. I can name 10 countries off the top of my head with far superior public education than the U.S. we honestly have a terrible system that needs to be reformed. This one goes by far to S.K. | ||

Celebrities of that nature are one thing. The hugely overwhelming majority of the young to possibly as old as early middle-aged of an entire society is another. Ultra powerful imperialist nations will often be at war. It's a simple historical fact since the Akkadians. Even to this day, the US is at the forefront of innovation and research. That's not the past. That's the present. And while our public elementary and high school education may not be the best, our university education is the best in the world, to a point that it just is not debatable. | ||

Are you kidding? America is super relaxed and no one gives a fuck about anything. There's no need to adhere to "social norms" by getting surgury or buying expensive shit to fit in. It's pretty safe and guns aren't necessary unless you live in Compton or the Texas border. | ||

The only people wearing loose gear are free style skiers and some leftover snow boarders. Even most snowboarders go for the pro look these days. Generally in Euro ski areas you can spot Americans from a mile away for their baggy ski outfits. To stay on topic, I would be interested how this looks in Korea too, do you know OP? mate it's still loose compared to the clothes you wear normally. How can you possibly ski if you're wearing clothes that don't have any loose cloth at the back, or pants that are fitted against your leg? I didn't say it was super loose or anything but I assumed the question was in comparison with the street clothing, and yes, it has to be looser than normal clothes. I'm sorry if thats not what you were after, perhaps i misunderstood, and u were talking about looseness compared to other ski gear, lol Also for anyone interested, i found this http://www.ebay.com/itm/Shills-shills-NIB-Firming-Facial-Cream-Slim-Face-50ml-/280662749397?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item4158cdb0d5#ht_1567wt_1396 meant to firm your face and help you get a v-line, lol | ||
