Even drunk, pissed off Koreans have walked away when myself or friends actually showed them that we were about to gnaw their faces if they didn't go the hell away. Now, if you're a foreigner looking for a fight, you're also a complete retard and probably hang out in Itaewon. Yea normally not, but I've had a few friends who got into fights with regular joes at clubs and got their asses beat outside of the club for rolling their R's too hard On March 19 2012 08:55 mapthesoul wrote: What is the opinion on beards, or facial hair in general? I've seen it looking really good on some Koreans but it's so rare. Generally a no-no, but like you said a few pull it off really well. Guys grow it out to look manlier and more sinister, and that's about all I know.

Watching documentaries on that shit gets me fucking steamed so i won't say much.

Part of the reason was that BigBang was endorsing them and that it is a foreign brand, again showing certain wealth I guess. About the Louis Vuitton bags, are people, similar with the jackets, going for the originals although it's not very smart financially for the living standard? I know from the german based vietnamese community that ALOT just buy a fake one, but wear them around and acting like they are some kind of highroller baller.... really annoying. not sure if they're all real, my mom never buys fakes for her stuff cuz she says they're obvious... I have no idea how she tells but I guess if you can tell it's a fake it's a pride thing so no..

I would imagine that there are at least some people protesting against the system/society. (Maybe that's just my german mindset ^^) I know there's a vibrant hiphop culture in the 강북 area, and a whole underground rap/hiphop movement but even they operate somewhat within the confines of society. Can't really say much else cuz my knowledge in the area is limited haha sorry Confucian idealogy runs deep in Korean history and they prohibit you from mutilating your body in any way, including hair. Up until not even 100 years ago, males used to not cut their hair because it was part of your precious body inherited from your parents, and there was an outrage when the Japanese took over and forced them to get haircuts and change their last names to a Japanese surname, many choosing to end their lives instead. That, plus it's pretty much unthinkable to get a tattoo for a goody goody Korean student growing up within the confines of his or her parent's house. | ||

I'm like 6'4" with a body ratio around 1:8.5, white, blonde and blue-eyed. All great right? Nah! I also happen to have 2'6" hair and a 1' beard so I'm basicly an axe away from a viking so I assume I wouldnt do so good in SK after all ^^ | ||

It actually depends on the person's face. Take 차승원 for example. http://www.google.com/search?tbm=isch&source=mog&hl=en&gl=ca&client=ms-android-samsung&tab=wi&q=차승원&sa=N&biw=800&bih=480#i=2 He has a face that just looks natural with facial hair. It's the same as everywhere else. If it looks natural on the guy it's fine. However, I'd say they prefer more people without facial hair. | ||

That being said, my best friend's very serious girlfriend is from Korea, and is very cute, but its crazy to hear her talk about herself, and to hear all the insecurities that Korean life has instilled in her. Also my friend is a 6'3 lanky, milky white dude so I guess that IS how you get the korean girls, lol. | ||

Kim Kang-woo in Marine Boy had me wondering why more Koreans don't let it grow out. ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/QmetF.jpg) | ||
