Wow. This is certainly an eye opener. Had no idea all of SNSD had plastic surgery. No way anyone looks that hot naturally!!!




I wonder what its like being Black and living over there.

Haha interesting question :D
I think it would be a bad thing. People will live you alone and won't be aggressive or anything but blacks will always be perceived as inferior.

Modelling and being overly attentive to appearance correlates with a dysfunctional upbringing. Part of Asian culture is to put money and status at a higher priority than westerners do, which in turn sullies relationships; the core foundation of happiness.

I am 20 and lived the past 12 years in Vancouver, Canada. I am currently at Korea on a vacation and after reading the OP, I wasn't surprised at all. First thing when I arrived at Gangnam, NORTHFACE, MAKEUP, HIGH HEELS, LOUIS VUITTON EVERYWHEREEEEEEEEE.

Despite the fiesta in Korea about tallness, (I'm 186cm) being tall kind of sucks lol. Buses are just a tad bit too low so I have to duck, and the selection for shoes and pants are very low for long legs.

I think the main reason why apperance is so huge in Korea is that idols (THE DREAM APPERANCE) are everywhere:posters, commericals, dramas, reality/variety shows. They endorce EVERYTHING.

My Korean friends in Vancouver tell me to gain some weight and muscle and go outside because I am too pale while here, my relatives tell me I need to lose some weight. ㅠㅠ

Sorry for bumping the thread, but do you plan on making updates ? I plan on visiting Korea in a few weeks (I'm in Japan atm) and am very curious to know at least which hair-style is popular :p

I love how korean girls and guys look and I think they have really nice fashion as well. The only major thing I perceive as different is their discrimation against body proportions.

but honestly, who would want to be surrounded by scruffy looking unkempt people? taking care of how you look is important if you actually want other people to feel good and confortable around you. Even internet nerds learn this sooner or later

being black and living over there is a pain in the ass but a better than being Asian and living in Harlem, where a woman trying to eat a pizza got called "lady chinky eyes" by a African American Papa John's employee.

some of SNSD had surgery, some didn't. for example Yoona didn't have surgery

[image loading]

like 4 of the 9 girls had some work done. plastic surgery is common in Korea but entertainment figures aren't a good example because pretty much every good looking actress or singer has had surgery regardless of race of nationality. Scarlett Johannson and Angelina Jolie have had a tone of work, as well as Beyonce, Halle Berry, Kim Kardashian etc.

what a load of racist crap. ur either a very unhappy asian kid or a really unhappy white kid.

try travelling a bit and see the world. what are you going to post next? that israelis are xenophobic and Africans are violent?

if you think "part of Asian culture" is to put money and status higher than westerners, try driving through West LA or Tribeca NY.

Obviously that's a very offensive case, but it's far from showing anything. Koreans say many rude things about black people as well (and a general insult for anyone is "African"). Also, most American black parents don't forbid/disapprove of their children dating Korean girls, while the reverse is true.

Glad someone brought this thread back, or else I would've never seen it. It's very informative. I always knew most koreans had an obsession about their image, I just couldn't put it to words as to how.

Anyway, what do you think about teeth in korea? Sorry if this has been asked already. I didn't feel like reading all the comments.

Neat and alligned teeth are obviously prefered, i would say they do care and it is important because it directly affects your mouth shape, how much it protrudes. In Japan, I heard that unalligned teeth are looked upon as sex appeal, it is completely opposite in Korea just like most places around the world... quite a turn off.

more important than looks in Korea by far is your wallet
I have seen super hot girls going after fat ugly foreign guys because they are rich and I see it a LOT
Really, why is real cheese so hard to come by in Korea? ^&^

Girls like money everywhere in the world.

Also, most korean girls like foreign guys not because they are rich (LOL english teachers), but because A) they speak perfect english and are cheap practice partners B) they are perfect for causal/non-serious relationships in a country of men that look down on causal relationships (a relationship between koreans tends to get 'serious' much faster than an international couple), C) Foreigners tend to be more egalitarian in their relationships (this point is mostly important for korean girls that studied abroad or who have been exposed to western culture) and D) Foreigners are exotic.

Don't forget green cards. At least, that's what my mom warned me of, lol: "Don't ever get married to someone who is not a US citizen, they probably just want a green card, esp. if they're Asian. >:[ "

(Just in case that sounds super-racist, note that my parents are also Asian.)
