I've fallen out of taking good care of my appearance for a few months, I think you've inspired me somehow. Thanks, I suppose. :D

Only racism I got against foreigners in Korea was in the bigger cities.....still a commodity in the rural areas!

There's a difference between xenophobia and racism. But, with that being said, there still is a lot of racism in Asia.

Whoever people who keep saying USA is just as bad or worse you have no idea what your talking about. We still respect the "get it done, down to earth people" mentality and respect uniqueness.

you people hate the USA, never been here, and only know about it from reading TL.

I think all three are equally bad, let's not turn this into a race vs race flamewar

Of course, as a nation Koreans have a reason to be mad at Japan, and Japanese do too.

I just stay out of the wildfire because I'm not involved in the actual discussions or events dealing with both of these countries, nor have lived in the Japanese imperial days (P.S. I know and have talked to someone who did).

EDIT: I just ended up going to arcades, movies, and Proleague while doing other personal stuff while I was in Korea. It was all good. Best part was when someone randomly high-fived me on the streets of Shinchon after seeing my CMU shirt, saying that he was an alumni.

There are other elements in Korean life that more than make up for it. I just decided to focus on the most superficial element in its society.

Hm. I'm not too surprised in all honesty. Relations aren't exactly thawed since the invasion(s) I'm guessing. And there's other stuff we've done recently.

What the hell does it mean when Koreans say 'you have a small face’? My co-teachers said that all the time and I understand it’s meant to be a complement but it doesn't make any sense to me.

Good effort on your post by the way. Looks like you put a lot of effort in and its very informative.

I've learned very much I have to shave everyday before work and always make my hair smart and where aftershave. Living in Korea has made me care much more about my physical appearance than I ever did before, not sure if that’s a good thing probably. My co-teachers still call me cheap for earning more money than them and not buying expensive brand named clothing. I just can't justify wasting money on it and I'm never gonna fit in anyway I'm quite obviously foreign so why waste my money on that crap.

Also the students used to call me dirty and make a big fuss if I had even the smallest hole in my socks. I’m used to just wearing socks till they die and then buying new ones. But since you walk around in indoor shoes/flip flop things your socks area always on display. Seems like a waste of perfectly good sock to me to buy new ones just because of a small hole….. perhaps I am cheap after all.

Apart from the superficiality and the racism, Korea is an awesome place and definitely a visit worth.

I am sure there are, the historical perspective you gave at the beginning of the OP puts it in context, I think korea will eventually outgrow the obsession with appearance.

On a different note, looking at the head to body ratio example pictures, I had this realisation that Koreans got al these (perhaps misguided) appearance cues from japanese animes? They somehow thought that that is what people are supposed to look like (BTW I am equally puzzled by some aspects of japanese culture)?

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.




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.

Now that is a true sexy handsome Korean man right there in my eyes. I'm a guy but fuck this guy is hot.

very nice read. I'll be moving to korea in a few month and i knew koreans were very into their looking, but i didn't knew it was as much as this.

I think my clothing style (or rather its non-existence) will rock their world. I expect lot of fun reaction when i'll wear some of the beautiful clothes i got from africa :D
