[instiz] LOOKING AT PEOPLE OF THE PAST WILL SHOW YOU WHAT A “NATURAL KOREAN FACE” REALLY LOOKS LIKE
(More pics at source)
It’s true that, being Asian, Koreans tend to have features like prominent cheekbones, smaller eyes, and a stockier build, so I don’t get why some people feel offended or think it’s an insult to Koreans.
Just look at street interviews with ordinary people from the early 2000s, before plastic surgery became commonplace. With very few exceptions, everyone looked pretty much the same. It’s just that, thanks to the massive advancements in cosmetic procedures, people have started to mistakenly believe that Koreans are naturally blessed with great looks.
It was the same story in China and Japan back then, too. I’m neither a Korea-basher nor a blind nationalist, but I think it’s important to stick to the facts.
1. Well, the average would certainly drop quite a bit without makeup and plastic surgery…
2. For men, Korea is better, because of height and physique.
3. They say humans evolve…
> Going on about “evolution” or whatever based on photos from the Japanese colonial period, which wasn’t even a century ago… Nothing has changed except for height. Let’s be reasonable here
4. Seriously, why bring up photos of them? You’d be better off bringing up the 80s and 90s
> If I’m going to do it, I should bring photos from a time when plastic surgery technology didn’t exist at all
5. In any country, the faces of ordinary people all look pretty much the same. There are just a few exceptional individuals
6. Wow, f*ck, how many people are in this post?
7. Personally, whenever I see posts hyping up the power of K-beauty or the popularity of Olive Young, I get secondhand embarrassmentㅋㅋㅋ It just goes to show that it’s not the real deal
8. Koreans really aren’t good-looking. Let’s just admit it… Among the three East Asian countries, Korea, China, and Japan, they are overwhelmingly lacking in terms of looks…
> I don’t see any impressive height, and don’t mistake a heavy, bulky frame for a good physique… If we’re talking about superior physiques, that’s China amd for Western-style features and great proportions, it’s actually Japan. Koreans are just short, big-headed, and fat…
9. So what are we supposed to do then?
10. So… we’re not allowed to look like this?
