I think that being hairless is a important factor for most idols, specially female

skin whitening will always break my heart. Im south asian and I remember watching ads saying if you have fair skin you can get a bf or a job. it's so sickening and dangerous :(

I always feel so sad when there's a pressure for asian people to be whiter. And then, as an European, a lot of people around me want to look darker...

I remember most K-Pop idols having more tanned skin tone until around 2011-13. Then their skin (or makeup) gradually became lighter and lighter :/

Not related but love how most 4th gen idols are aware of these toxic standards ( women) and are slowly coming off of it and most girls (4th gen) girls feel confident in their bodies like olivia hye and ryujin

I'm so glad u talked about those butt pads push up bras. Almost all girl idols have a hourglass figure because of those things u think all of the woman are perfect and aren't insecure but I think of them as bad cuz they give a false sense of security and doesn't make u love yourself it just tricks u for a while and then u get depressed again.

I feel so proud when some idols beat this standards and create their own

Don't forget you look bigger on a camera than in real life so imagine how thin they accually are

I think you are getting “Botox” and “fillers” confused. You cannot use “Botox” to make someone’s nose bridge look higher or make lips more full/heart shaped.Botox is a muscle relaxant used to lift or relax muscles where fillers such as Restalyn or Juvederm is used to achieve a higher more even nose bridge, pointed chin and full heart shaped lips.

they sing and dancing like crazy and y'all can't let them eat 💀

Can i please say something, that i need to get off my chest: I see kpop fans (particuraly international) always complaining about how strict and high Koreas body standards are, and obviously i agree with the fact that South Korea has incredibly dangerourse and borderline fatal beauty standards that need to be achieved just to be even taken seriously in the Korean music industry, but sometimes i feel like this also has an impact on kpop fans themselves. I mean look at all the young and even teenage (really anyone) kpop stans who are constantly being reminded that being under 49kg is healthy regardless of height. It’s impacted them. Of course it has, even if you say it’s wrong and they agree, subconsiously it’s a stament in there mind that Koreas standards are what are really acceptable. And i see a seemingly subconsiouce rise in kpop stans comment on idols bodys and how “thick” they are - which obviously stems from insecureity. Although you might argue that being under 49kg is healthy for certain heights, IT IS STILL THIN. Most womean are between 45-70 kg in the west, and don’t bullshit me by saying “they just have that natrual frame” because you can lean towards a certain body type but no one is that thin without whatching what they eat. Yes idols like Lisa and Rose (blackpink) have “fast metabalisims” exist but you need to understand that ALL idols are extremely skinny. I hate seeing comments like “Hwassa is so thick” or “Jisoo is so thick” or “Ryujin is so thick” or “Allie is so thick” and i know you mean it as aa compliment but it’s actually not becauause it implys the absoloutly FALSE narrative that these womean arn’t skinny. When it so obvious they are. International kpop stans have the. EXACT same body standards as Korean fans, they just don’t take it as seriously. There is litterlay no overweight idol. The heaviest female idol is; 59kg that is not heavy at all despite what your standards are, and even if this idol wasn’t tall it still wouldn’t be heavy it would just be average. I literlay couldn’t find the weight of the heaviest male idol because they’v all lost so much weight. I just want you to understand that setting idols bodys as your standards is a little bit toxic because there unrealistic no matter what you think. Look at them - look at them properly are they fat?! are they thick?! no there not. There all thin and just because an idol eats normally dosn’t make them not skinny. Change your standards Korea, Change your standards kpop stans

Lol at all these comments saying "4Th gEn iDols r deViatiNg frOm KbeauTy sTd sO gOoD!! " There is and will always be a standard. Alot of the idols you mentioned who 'dont conform to kbeauty std' ARE STILL conforming. Ryunjin? She is literally the prettiest by any standard n with small waist which is another beauty standard. Yeji? She literally has the most proportional face. The same goes for any of the other kpop girls. Hwasa is probably the closest but she herself has the most well proportional body. Its nothing bad but the point is that this is all a useless topic bcs There IS ALWAYS A STANDARD.

I'm so tired of fighting with people about ps, if they got it it's fine but not everything is ps not you have to point it out. Being beautiful is not easy and the amounts of money idols and their companies spend it's a huge part of why they look so far from us when it come to looks

I remember before getting into k-pop I used to be confident about myself and my looks...but after getting into k-pop it made me more self conscious and I lost confidence in myself

I want to point out an idol I believe is breaking some standards! Lee Haechan his skin is not as pale as others and he embraces it which has helped me coming from a family that doesn’t like tanned skin ! Or hwasa !!

There's nothing wrong with using hip pads or injections or anything else, the issue is making it seem like that's what they are naturally and it is not achievable by average people

can you talk more about what the male idols go through? I've always seen female idols troubles but i would like to know what happens with the men(bc equality and curiosity)

If I don't fit the beauty standards, then I will make my own standards. -hwasa

Many idols were tanned than the others but they are so handsome and freaking hot, like mingyu, mingyu is tanned but he's the visual Haechan is so popular in social media now because of his melanin and tanned skin..ryujin is so confident about her body and she looks healthy Hwasa break the K-standard also

The thing is, if your body is building muscles is because you need them, and you show your organism that you need muscles by doing strength exercises or activities that require strength, like dancing. So, if your OWN BODY is using energy to create muscles is because it felt it was NECESSARY for your health. People (and especially idols, who have this crazy routine of performances and dancins and training, along with not enough time to take care of themselves) really shouldn't try to get rid of any lean body mass. Drink water and stay safe, guys

honestly speaking theres nothing wrong with push up bras and hip pads or butt pds but THE WAY KOREANS MAKING THESE ‘fake attributes’ AS A STANDARD is crazy

I know that what the k-pop idols do to themselves is cause of the society's pressure and expectations , but it's really sad and dangerous how they also set such realistic beauty standards for their fans (since most of them are underage, they tend to get influenced easily) I glad that idols like Hwasa are there who try to normalise what should've been normal a long time ago.

If you look at SM girlgroups you will notice that SM always put 1 girl that has big bone (Sunny snsd, Luna f(x), Yeri RV, Ningning Aespa. It's quite refreshing than watching a group full with petite girls

This is the industry idols are living products

I have very pale skin and also have red hair but tanned skin is really beautiful. I also personally think it looks healthier. where I come from they prefer tanned skin. Because of my pale skin, people often think I'm sick. Sorry for my bad english btw 😅

I’m glad you said, “Don’t compare yourself to them.” Please guys, heed her advice.

I HAVE BEEN SEEING COMMENTS LIKE FELLING SAD FOR ASIAN PEOPLE. NOT ALL JUST EAST ASIAN BRUH, COUNTRY LIKE INDIA, PAKISTAN, PHILIPPINES, LAOS, MALAYSIA, UAE, OMEN AND MANY MORE, WE ARE NOT WHITE, WE ARE TANNED AND FUCKI*G PROUD THAT OUR SOCIETY DOESN'T FORCED TO BE WHITE.

Ever since I was a teenager, I really wanted to undergo plastic surgery to improve my appearance. I hated my fugly self back then but the surgery cost is out of my budget so I became depressed. Then the pandemic happened and the quarantine was put in place in 2020 until now. As I have no outdoor activities, I started to practice skincare and opt for a healthy diet. Voila, 2021 changed me into someone new (you can see before-after on my YT banner). Even my sister was taken aback after seeing how much I've changed. Can't wait to go back outside and show my glow ups to other coworkers lol So, is beauty worth it? All of my yes. But is surgery worth it? I guess no since there are plenty of healthier, non-invasive, and much MUCH cheaper option to glow yourself up.

Really amazing video hope it get's viral 🔥🔥🔥

Your voice is soothing 😍😍

i am asian and i have a whiter skin tone but if you see it one of my friends have a dark skin tone but she still outshines most of us in terms of physical beauty whenever we take photos so i dont think skin colour has much to do with beauty

Concept of the video is 👍🏻right.

Botox isn't what changes lip or nose shape, that is filler. They're two different yet often mistaken for each other.

This is utterly intoxicated. Not everyone gets influenced by beauty standards but, this dilemma never goes away. Thank you for bringing up this idea.

After I became a kpop lover I started to compare my skin colour with idol's.And I was so dispointed about my skin tone..😔but now I know that they are edited..thank you for that😊love ur self ☺

I know it's not appropriate to say this but, Im glad I am not born in korea, 😅 Thier beauty standards are so high to reach out. Specially the white skin tone, slim body. The only i reach was my face is naturally V shape😅. But here in the Philippines if u have V shape some or should I say more people are teasing you. The cute face shape here is round and small face shape. But even i am Filipino I still hate the beauty standards in my country. If you have white skin people look at you as a beautiful person. Only few people appreciate the beauty of being black.🥺

wow I didn't know that more than 40% of Korean Beauty Standards can be created/ carved/made with Plastic Surgery and editing photos. also I 💜 NotSo Superficial's voice.

I am glad hwasa scrape all those standards. 💚💚

When someone being natural, the society judge them for not being classified as beauty standard or even bash their looks. But when someone get something done so that they achieved what the society called as beauty standards, they still get bashed for being "unnatural" conclussion: The society is the main problem. Our society need to remember that human aren't factory product that can get measured into certain standards. It's not like parents can control how their babies will born according to beauty standards. Why can't we just normalize human being human, all colors are beautiful, all size and shapes are beautiful. Being beautiful naturally is great, getting something done is also great. People look the most beautiful when they're happy and being beautiful human being. That's it. Word will be much in peace when society no longer over judgemental on this. We need more good hearts than just a good looks. ^^

When she said olive oil the first thing that came to my mind is Oli London😂😂

Don't forget extensions, they use it a lot

When idols lighten there skin I sometimes wish they could use there regular tan skin tone I find it really beautiful.

I love your channel

The problem with plastic surgery in the kpop community is that most of them lie that they never done it. I am pretty sure 98% has gotten some kind of surgery but they are still sold as ' natural beauty' . They also don't do it because they want to but because their agency encourages them to and they obviously want to become famous so they do it. It creates a wrong picture of how people look natural and is expecially toxic for the self esteem of many young teenagers. If I was an idol and gotten surgery and I knew that many people see me as a role model I would feel really guilty for guilt dripping them into believing I am born this way .

I beg you,please do Stayc next. Thank you

Oh my goodness, I am much prettier then korean standard, and I love it.

Weeekly next !! Or Stacy💜

Please upload more often as your videos are so nice and please do an exid video

groups to do k-beauty standards , thin vs thin , kibbe , outfits , and hair for : - oh my girl - stayc - weeekly - loona also more 2nd gen groups maybe ?

While i am super happy for the idols who are challenging and creating more ideal types -- it is STLL a standard to be moving towards. ie. i am happy if they can embrace their natural skin tone, if it is pale or dark -- but if you are constantly tanning to fit the "healthy sexy" (which is a weird description on its own) then that's also problematic? It's still trying to fit your body to a trending skin tone and that is Not self love. Same with body type. Of cos as a celeb u can't just do whatever u want as your image is currency, but I hope ppl will be the ideal version of themselves, which is the range that they most naturally fall in, that's different for everybody. Exercise and some dietary adjustments may be necessary but still enough energy for the day and a huge variety of nutrient sources! Forcing someone to be "thick" (which in kpop usually just means slim curvy and not really actually an amazingly beautiful thick body -- cos ppl who are actually thicker naturally and look gorgeous still get bullied for it cos they aren't "sexy" in that curvy manner, which is also a problem) or making everyone skeletons is overall just really unsustainable for the idols and introduces a million new insecurities to young fans

I’m an Army and i cant help but always notice how much BTS pictures are being white-washed its insane. Its so sad how most Asians still don’t see the beauty in their skin.

Cb you pls do stray kids vs Korean beauty standards?~

Never thought that Jennie from Blackpink where her fans said that her hips and thighs are their body goal when it's actually a hip pad.

in the UK , in georgian times it was common practice to wear white lead make-up which was poisnous

There is something that people don't know, and many of East Asians have naturally white skin. So 10-20 years ago, tanning was the standard of beauty. Like Lee Hyori. It is not unnatural, but it also feels like correcting the original tone, so it does not look very negative from the perspective of Koreans. 'Asians natural tone is never be white' that is also your stereotype.

Do The Boyz vs korean beauty standards

Haechan skin are so beautiful

Here beauty is like torcher.

i love this

I subbed🥰

Can you do a Korean Actresses vs K Beauty Standards video too? (Some actresses I'd want to see in the video) Kim Goeun Yoo In Na Park Boyoung Han Yeseul Han Sohee Shin Sekyung Kim Hyesun Lee Sungkyung Park Shinhye Seo Yeji Son Yejin IU Bae Suzy Kim Sohyun Moon Gayoung Song Hyekyo Jeon Yeobin Im Soohyang Kim Soyoung Kim Jiwon Park Minyoung Lee Hyeri Jung Jihyun Jo Bo ah Yang Hyeji (If all them don't fit in one video, feel free to exclude or make parts)

I like your video 👌 👏 coz you tell us the true ❤️💓

This is helping me so much right now because I feel like I don't look like a model and I'm trying rlly hard to look like one and its making me realize that lots of times its not all that real :)

i don't judge anyone for getting plastic surgery or going to great lengths to try to achieve beauty standards because they themselves are victims of this endless cycle of trying to reach 'perfection'. i wish people would just start putting the pressure on society and companies. theyre all still handsome and beautiful without losing a bunch of weight, or having flawless skin, or having perfectly aligned whitened teeth. i wish ppl would stop pressuring everyone to look like that because it's so unnatural. humans aren't designed to have those things. most people are not born with teeth that look like they have veneers, weighing close to nothing, or having skin without any sort of bumps or acne or "imperfections". i wish humans would just realize already how fucked up it is to expect all these things from people.

i literally got an ad about hair care products while watching this 💀

I just realized I wasn't subscribed! Holy moly

Skin products are heavily regulated in countries like Japan. Believe symptoms like the one in the picture you picked don't really happen, rather Japanese/Koreans turn to slightly healthier alternatives (eating lots of fruits and taking concentrated vit c supplements instead, doing skin peels weekly to remove dead skin cells) to whiten skin without the harsh chemical presented

Also the fact that they HAVE to be 110lbs or less no matter what. I have a goal of 120lbs because with my short height it's my ideal bmi. They want them to be tall and slim which is just them pushing idols to be underweight. Being underweight and extremely busy with performing and practicing isn't good because it can cause stress to the body. (I know bmi doesn't mean much but I don't have special equipment to figure our the fat percentage.)

Skin brightness or color and its perception is a chain reaction, if people want to change the perception, they should start it from themselves.. start appreciating differences.. alsoo we cant deny that society picks the brighter one over the dark one or vice versa in some regions (i know where).. so, really if ppl want to do something, start something, other than that if can’t better to find a place that fits :)

Nothing better than being oneself

It’s sad… getting closer and closer to looking less Asian 😪

Even after having double eyelid,nose bridge,fair skin, long yet sharp eyes and good looking lip That's how my classmate described me My eyes are long in length but Moreover they are small Some of my aunt's make fun of me saying you look weird with those eyes I always felt insecure but when my friend and classmate Said I'm beautiful yet most of my classmate have dark skin like olive or brown but I found them more attractive they said they feel ugly In simple words people feel you are beautiful but you don't because you feel other are more beautiful

Purple Kiss vs Korean beauty standards pls

Do 2ne1 vs korean beauty standards

Can't they just wear wigs instead of dying their hair? Isn't that more safer ?

This Is a nice vid

So never Bashed kpop idols.. I appreciate their Hard works!!

5:05 my model group. I love 9muses

5:23 so cute

I told myself as a kid whether I tan or become lighter, I will never use tightening cremes to change my beautiful skin.

Little correction. Hourglass is not about breast size. it's about shoulders. I'm hourglass with less than 1 size of the breast. This is about the silhouette, and it depends on the shoulders and hips.

Can you go a FX vs Korean Beauty Standards?

I wish my younger self knew about hips pad thingy because I went through very rough path because of my hipdips and watching every single idol having this perfect hips , I basically ruined my figure by doing those weird YT exercises

Please do 2pm vs korean beauty standard

2:34 There are also chemical shots that they use. SM artists are known for doing that. Like Taeyeon. I'm an OG Sone and I know that's not her real skin tone

Saying that it is just part of the job or everyone is beautiful in their own kind of way doesn't take away from the fact that these beauty standards are extreme and unhealthy...

nar, i'm proud of my single eyelid

when knetz see a skinny idol they told them to eat more and gain weight, but when knetz see a fat idol they told them to loss their weight and go diet, i don't understand what is in knetz mind, they only finding the idol mistake, what about just enjoying their music? they're not model, i mean like they're singer not perfect human😌

im not korean or anything but i have natural double eyelids 🤗

5:55 you cannot put botox in the lips (botox helps to reduce the movement of the muscles this helps to reduce wrinkles because the skin doesn't crease and reduces the size of the muscle too), people use other types un injectables like fillers (normally this are hyaluronic acid base)

Sth i really want to emphasise here is that you should never compare yourself to kpop idols or any other celebrities bc it‘s „part of their job“ to look good. They may have gone through several procedures to look the way they look and spent a lot of time for skin care. We really don‘t need to do that to be beautiful. You definitely are enough.

please astro next,

Ps sets unrealistic expectations

Man it's a lot of work!

Deberías de poner sub títulos a tus videos ya que son interesantes, además tu voz es muy buena... Quién me apoya (levanten mano) Adiós...😃😄😅😆

Jessi is still beautiful, in the early days she was a natural beauty without the cosmetic surgery

Yess kibbe representation

I haven't seen people talk about this, but I feel like the clothes idols wear really aren't flattering for the majority of the bodies those same idols have. They are forced into clothing that purposely makes non-skinny idols look not as nice in those outfits, even if they are under 50kg, but if you were to see those same idols in their regular clothes, maybe on airports or dance practices you would see that they are much much skinnier than what they appear to be in their stage outfits, and that makes me really sad. And, also, from a different perspective, the idols that do look good in stage outfits often look worryingly thin in normal clothes, often times because they starve themselves to look good on the stage. So sad :(

I have fair skin too and my face is lighter than my neck so... Prob cause I don't put sunscreen on my neck xD Ugh I have stubborn arm and leg fat...I should get carboxy shots 😅

1:47 is Suga blonde and with a mullet? He looks so different 😮
