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

[enter-talk] I'M SO FED UP OF IDOLS' CONCEPTS NOWADAYS

"Drop out letter I'm dropping out" Every time, it's always about split personality/another self Apple (fruit of knowledge) Snake Fallen angel All of these seem to always play the principal role? They are all related to the Bible post response: [+216][-32] original post: here 1. [+198, -4] Ah I f*cking agree. Why does it always have to do with Christianity or the Bible? Someone should try a Buddha concept or something 2. [+192, -15] Also, they are way too many homosexual performances (T/N: for ref, OP refers to business-gay-performance ) 3. [+169, -3] The music is just not the focus anymore. They are all focusing more on the performance and the concept;; That's why they are becoming less and less public friendly. Only people who like them will like it so... 4. [+73, 0] And Illuminati 5. [+59, 0] The concepts are all either about self-love or they are f*cking mad and breaking everything 6. [+43, 0] All these concepts are related to the illuminati 7. [+40, 0] Isn...

[MV Review] Monsta X - Trespass

Somewhere in my calloused heart, I find room to actually care about certain parts of the wonderful world that we live in. One such thing was a survival show where Korean blokes tried to prove that they could sing, rap, dance, work in a team, build a canoe, etc. better than anyone else in the near vicinity. The show was called No Mercy, and a song where Hyorin sings about having sex came as a result of it. You know the drill; a group was formed, and a fair number of people were left outraged that their favourite just wasn't up to scratch when it came to canoe building. Now, because Starship have their shit together way more than YG, it took little more than four months for Monsta X to debut whilst iKon are still lost in their hunt for the Treasure of the Sierra Madre. The question that is on everyone's lips is: "Sohyunna, is the song any fucking good you piece of shit?" which I intend to answer in my own way over this article. If you don't like it, then you can fu...

Can you go out with your bare face?

Pann : Can you go out with your bare face? 1. [+237, -2] I go out with my bare face everyday... It's not that I'm confident, I'm just lazy 2. [+147, -6] I can never give up on lips... Wearing lip tint makes a big difference 3. [+81, -13] I go out with my bare face when I'm ready to be against the world 4. [+72, -26] It's weird if you can't... It's not like you're a top star 5. [+61, -43] Why not? I'm honestly curious. Nobody cares... seriously. They'll just think you live nearby. Nobody will wonder what's wrong with you. Of course, a few might find you weird-looking but most people don't care at all. 6. [+38, -1] No. I can go out with a mask though. 7. [+36, -4] Reading the comments, I realize how hard it is to live as a Korean girl. 8. [+33, -1] I usually go out with my bare face. 9. [+24, -2] I'm a girl but I've never gone out with my bare face because my skin is very dirty. I have to wear skin makeup at least in case people get...
