"Image Issues"

I stumbled across these clips from Arirang TV's YouTube channel.

The voice-over actors are a little robotic sounding, but try to focus on the content: APPEARANCE.

I've said it many times - appearance is everything in Korea.

People's perceptions of "fat" angers me. The media and society don't help either. Neither do the companies like the obesity clinic in this video who tell this skinny girl that she her body fat percentage is too high, playing off her insecurities to make a profit.


This video focuses on men (most likely richer men in Seoul) and skin/body care...do things like herbal massages really help your skin? Or is it all about the relaxation?


How about hair styles and make-up - what's trendy? I like when Korean women have straight natural hair...it is classy and beautiful. But the wavy hair does look good on some.
