Pale skin as a beauty standard

Pann: Do you have to have pale skin to be considered pretty?

1. [+152, -3] When someone says you have good skin, it means you're pale but it also means you don't have any skin problems or freckles. Honestly, it's true that you look much prettier if you have pale skin.

2. [+122, -13] Seolhyun and Tzuyu are dark and pretty. You can be pretty if you have pretty facial features regardless of the skin color.

3. [+108, -5] The comments are talking about the Western standards but Western people have different facial features, face shapes and bodies from us ㅋㅋㅋㅋ Even in our country, we have pretty celebrities that are tanned or dark like Lee Hyori, Hyorin and Jessie. They all have good bodies. Also, the dark skin has to be prettily tanned. If the tanned parts are uneven, the skin just looks dirty overall and it doesn't look pretty.

4. [+74, -74] I live in the US and people here prefer dark skin over pale skin. They actually tan their pale skin... Don't people usually care about facial features more than the skin color? Korea seems to really like pale skin. International fans don't like it when celebrity photos are whitewashed. It's about personal preferences, right? To me, I find dark skin more natural-looking and healthy. But it doesn't hurt to tone-up with makeup if you look a bit lifeless!

5. [+61, -3] Pale skin looks prettier. Taeyeon, Suzy, IU, and Sulli all have pale skin. Seolhyun and Tzuyu are very rare cases... In the US, they prefer tanned skin but this is Korea. Korea likes pale skin.

6. [+58, -2] The reason why Americans prefer tanned skin is because it's a symbol of wealth. Tanned skin means you had a vacation at a sunny place. In Korea, having pale skin meant she was a woman of a high class that didn't have to work outside, and this stereotype is still continued today. At the end, both standards are related to wealth.

7. [+55, -2] Unless you're extremely pretty, you look prettier with pale skin. Or you have to have great skin. There's a difference between tanned celebrities and just having dark skin ㅋㅋㅋㅋ When celebrities get tanned, they tan in a pretty way.

8. [+43, -8] What ㅋㅋ Most Korean men like pale skin. And why are you talking about the US? Go leave in the US then.

9. [+43, -3] People keep mentioning Seolhyun and Tzuyu but their dark skin looks OK because they're just too pretty. If they were pale, they would've been more popular. Just imagine IU and Sulli with dark skin. They would've never became as popular. Pale skin is indeed a beauty standard.

10. [+39, -1] You do look pretty with pale skin

Mamamoo Hwasa's sexual performance?

Pann : Mamamoo Hwasa, isn't this too much? 1. [+140, -5] It looks more sexual because she has a good body. It was Mamamoo's concert and it was +15. 2. [+95, -15] This is why they say women's enemy is women. You call it sexy when male idols rip their clothes off and do pelvic dances but it's a problem when a female idol does it? It only looks sexy and pretty. 3. [+85, -1] It would be considered too much if this was done on broadcast but it was a +15 concert. It's fine. 4. [+35, -0] It's still better than female idols' lolita appeal nowadays 5. [+26, -0] It looks more like that because the dress color is nude. And like in foreign countries, adult sexiness is better than short school uniforms and lolita. 6. [+23, -0] You never bought an album and yet you're complaining about this and that 7. [+22, -1] It's a concert anyways. Other male idols wear more sexual clothes. 8. [+21, -26] It looks a bit off...

Rain recounts a story of when Park Jin Young went above and beyond for him

Article : Rain expresses gratitude towards Park Jin Young for dropping everything to be there for his mother "It's thanks to hyung that my mother got to live a few more weeks" Source : Insight via Instagram "When I was around 17-18 years old, my mother fell sick and I couldn't take her to the hospital because I didn't have any money. I asked several places for help but no one could offer it. I then asked Jin Young hyung, 'Hyung, please save us. I don't have any money to hospitalize my mother.' Jin Young hyung then canceled all of his schedules and came to my home. He put my mother on his back, got her a car, and took us to the hospital. He co-signed for us and got us in. It was thanks to him that I got to be with my mother for another two weeks." 1. [+528] Even when he's as rich enough to have 45 billion won now... I'm sure the 2-3 weeks he got to spend with his mother were more meaningful than anything else. And no wonder he feels so...

Article: 2017 starts off to another girl group rush Source: TV Report via Naver 1. [+208, -5] For how much name value AOA has, their digital rank has been lost in Andromeda..... not even comparable to Cosmic Girls or April anymore because I don't even see them on the Melon charts. What happened? Did AOA's fandom just die out? 2. [+130, -10] A battle of the minor groups, basically... 3. [+191, -31] Twice (nation's girl group, energetic, cute) Girlfriend (innocent) IOI (nation's producer) Red Velvet (quirky?) Black Pink (hip hop) Mamamoo (talent)... all of the current girl groups have different charms and styles with set fandoms so there really isn't any more room for other groups or fandoms 4. [+106, -10] Every new debut recently has been flop after flop... 5. [+120, -27] AOA, Cosmic Girls, and April all flopped ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ 6. [+52, -5] Out of all those groups, AOA had the most media play and their one song already fell off the charts~ 7. [+51, -7] At the top are Twice, ...
