This anti-Korean screed is a departure from the author's usual fare.
Could we please return to our regular diet of America-bashing?
lol.
As much I would agree that it is shameful for Koreans to treat this is somehow a cultural achievement for them, Chinese here are susceptible to the Korean Wave phenomenon because their own cultural export sucks.
Most Chinese women I see are well off enough/educated enough to support themselves unlike the Filipino mail order brides I see. It could be a location thing though.
My Korean friends openly tell me that the dark side of K-pop is only one manifestation of the malaise afflicting a country in which half of all women have undergone plastic surgery – less visible and newsworthy is the same brand of exploitation and abuse in regular companies that normal people work for.
It has been estimated that between one-fifth and one-third of women in Seoul have gone under the knife, and one poll reported by the BBC puts the figure at fifty per cent or higher for women in their twenties. Men, by one account, make up fifteen per cent of the market.
In Korea, plastic surgery doesn't have the same stigma as in the West. To the contrary.
Blame my cluelessness on the fact that, to the untrained eye, all of South Korea’s prettiest and shiniest humanoid cultural exports look and sound exactly the same. I can’t tell them apart.
I am an asian who lived in Korea for 2 years.
To be honest, I am not a fan at all, of the culture, the music, the men or none of it. I gotta admit they got good food and awesome bakeries. 15 pound weight gain is proof.

Whats that? University students who cheated on their TOEFL?

Your friend has just begun looking at educational programs and is having a hard time narrowing down his choices. What advice would you give?
1 Pepperglue 2018-12-11
No, more like woman who barely speaks English marrying to some White loser in the United States just to get a green card. Or anchor babies.

I feel like that's more of SEA thing.
1 Pepperglue 2018-12-11
Nah, it's also a Chinese thing, too. Especially so for the poor regions.

1 Pepperglue 2018-12-11
Could be. Those Chinese wives I speak of are not mail-ordered. Some just go on dating websites and start digging.
1 Bluest_waters 2018-12-11
they have cultural exports?
1 Kiru-kokujin25 2018-12-11

Are the North and South Korean entertainment industries actually not that different? 🤔🤔🤔
1 Ravensthrowit 2018-12-11
Wtf, that can’t be true, right?

IDK the stats, but plastic surgery is extremely common in Korea.
1 THOT-AUDITOR 2018-12-11
So common there's been more than one lawsuit in Korea by fathers blaming their ugly children on their wives "misrepresenting" how attractive they are.
1 LighthouseToLunar 2018-12-11
Got you have to feel bad for the poor little ugly kid if they grow up and hear about that somehow

They give it out as a graduation present. It's a different set of ideals.
1 seoulsun 2018-12-11
Sure if they count double eyelid surgery as plastic surgery. Lots of girls get them as gifts like graduation or birthdays.
1 BumwineBaudelaire 2018-12-11
ya it’s way up there - dunno the actual number but highest per capital nation in the world by a mile
1 newcomer_ts 2018-12-11
Isn't K-POP concert just a strip club with better outfits and choreography?
1 ____________13 2018-12-11
Better plastic surgeons, too. They don't just slap a couple of googly eyes on the chest and call it a success.
1 retarded4bustin 2018-12-11
K-Pop stars look like strange plastic dolls. It's more horrifying than anything.
1 Momruepari 2018-12-11
It's all about rhinestone suits, cowboys, and sucking dick
1 Burnnoticelover 2018-12-11
No because they don’t even have the decency to get naked.

1 ironicshitpostr 2018-12-11
That sounds like something a gamer would A: know about and B: care about.
1 BuyMeAnNSX 2018-12-11
It is but blizzard doesn't give a shit about their american fanbase that built them anyways.
They've been all about chasing that asian market since Mists of Pandaria.
1 seoulsun 2018-12-11
I don't know why Kpop makes everyone so mad, it's like the devil to some people.
