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. I doubt the tan thing we have in the west will take an effect in Korea any time soon. They are way to paranoid and obsessive with looking young and taking care of their skin to damage it by tanning. But maybe I'm wrong? After all, koreans drink and smokes like fucking crazy and that takes its toll on the skin with age too. | ||

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) The thing is, there's nothing naturally "good" about big eyes and pale skin. It could just as well be that westerners would want to look more yellowish and have smaller eyes, and it's generally acknowledged that the reason those traits are favorable are because of western influence historically. It's easy to say "I made my hair blonde because I want to look like GDragon, I don't give a crap about the west", but that doesn't change where his fashion was influenced. It's obviously always up to the individual, but I find it weird any asians would take offence or deny the western influence when the most koreans who subject themselves to it don't deny it. Again, they don't want to look caucasian, but they look at western famous people and find their traits attractive. It's like when my asian friends from Japan and Korea come here and say the people here are so beautiful... well, they aren't, they are just westerners and happen to very commonly have those traits. I go around here and don't find the women all that attractive and instead react the same way in asia. It's exotic and different, I wouldn't marry a Korean if I found westerners more attractive, so this is not MY opinion at all, I'm just saying that if cosmetic surgeons in Korea in a documentary specifically state that most koreans they do work on ask for a "western style" or "western traits", there's probably a lot of truth in it. EDIT: As for the comment on pale skin being beautiful because of it indicates wealth, there's a lot of truth in that as well, though I don't think it's fair to say it's like that in Korea because they were poor 50 years ago, because it's the exact same in Japan, women from Hokkaidou are considered very beautiful because of their pale skin, while the view of Okinawans is the opposite. | ||

If everybody is getting plastic surgery, then the ones that are not doing it are the odd ones. From having been in several Asian countries, I must say that's the most ridiculous lie I've ever read. | ||
