Completely agree. I'm Asian and have large eyes without surgery. The last thing I want is to have Western eyes that look like 2 deep holes. I also don't like to have large nose and be hairy either. | ||

IMO he looks better and if he thinks he looks better and feels better about himself now, then all the power to him. What people should be judged by, if not by their personal decisions? | ||

Trust me, most Koreans I've talked to definitely want the bigger nose as well and most have specifically said it's the western look they go for. This is also said all the time in documentaries on the issue. It might sound arrogant when westerners claim this, but this is what they want themselves. They don't want to look exactly like westerners, they just find some distinct western features attractive. Who knows why, but it's possible the same features would be sought after regardless of "western influence". | ||

While a lot of East Asians favor Western features, I think it's also true that a lot of Westerners find the East Asian features "exotic." | ||

The pale thing is just from the archaic idea that if you're rich you don't work in the sun. Nowadays if you're rich you go on holiday to a hot country and you have a tan to show for your holiday. Korea is just a bit behind because less than 100 years ago it was one of the poorest countries in the world. Things will change, there are already Korean celebrities with tans that are widely seen as sexy, and the number will only grow until eventually everyone wants to look like then. Then when I go to Korea my friends won't be jealous of my God given, sun fearing, immune to tanning Irish genetics. | ||

Who knows why, but it's possible the same features would be sought after regardless of "western influence". Okay, well, as an Asian with natural big eyes, I grew up with people telling me that I had beautiful eyes. This is from people of all ages and generations. I SERIOUSLY doubt that my grandparents, who care little about the west have had any influence whatsoever about western standards for looks. Also consider the fact that when I dyed my hair, my white friends spent a few months criticizing me for being too Asian. It's not about trying to look white, it's about trying to look like Asian stars and fit with the fashion trends. If you asked any Asian in Asia, I'm pretty sure over 80% would not want to be or look Caucasian. Asian Americans maybe not so much because a lot are whitewashed. Anyways, it is a bit arrogant, at least from my perspective that you people would think we are trying to look white. Just because whites posses some of the more favorable traits in Asian beauty (although not necessarily perceived the same way in terms of beauty), it isn't the look we are after. I'm sure that some whites have dyed their hair black before. You can't assume that they are trying to look Asian. (and just saying, not all Asians have small eyes, we have "good" traits in our genepool as well) | ||
