As a Korean, not an excuse, we do think that the clean and decent appearance including facial, clothing and body shape, is the measure for the ‘self-management’. I’m a 5’11 and 200 pounds. and I consider myself a fatty, and most of Koreans will, but it seems quite generous standards on fatty in western countries.
Like like like like like like like …..
I hate this world lol
people over 55 kgs are considered very fat!! I guess it's because Koreans starved for so long that being stick thin became the norm, they should take care of their mental health the same way they care for their appearance!
Im chubby i date with korean he reject me😢
Living up to Korean beauty standards sounds like hell.
i am 60 kg right now my mom will kill me if i even reduce 100 grams of my weight she will scold me if i skip my meals . no one says me i am fat .all she says is we are not eating in outsiders houses so you should not consider other people opinions about your own body and stay healthy its your body its your choice to reduce it or not
Its crazy that korea is very anti fat but at the same time overfishes the ocean.
I feel like if you have insecurities, it makes you more motivated to work on yourself,
The proportional standard starts at 5 foot which should weigh 100 lbs., then for every inch of height add 3-4 lbs. The same ration goes for under 5 foot but you subtract weight. But when it comes down to it, body fat is what counts, no one should be above the athletic range of 16% for men and 18% for women.
I'm 110 and 5'0, I am considered fat in Korea 😢😂
Very much out of context, but the interviewer's Korean is so good!
BRO THERE IS ONE GIRL IN MY CHILDHOOD WHO WAS 8 YEARS OLD WHO WEIGHED 40 KILOS:O
I’m almost exactly the same height and weight as the english speaking woman, and I’m an XS in American sizes, an S in European sizes, and a medium in East Asian sizes 😊.
Im 161cm and 44kg
Oh my im ample i need be 41kg
Goal to loose 3kg 🙈
Am 60khs meaning am too fat 😳😳
How does even the locals have such flawless perfect skin !!!!
It hurts to see this at 11 years old when you're 61kg and 163cm. It at risk of being overweight. I wish my mum didn't let me have a phone early. Now it's like a drug. And each day I find a new insecurity.
Hmm. Many East Asian people have a relatively small body frame and small bone structure. (Ectomorph body type, with some having Mesomorph body type). This gives illusion of a leaner body.
I'm Central Asian, most of us have a mesomorphic body type, so I look slightly thicker/bigger than an East Asian
even though we're the same weight.
How tall is that guy?
😮 I’m 154cm and I average around 57kg! My stats would be considered fat in Korea but I’m not fat at all! I have the classic Mediterranean body type.. which is very different than the average Korean body type!
55-60KG being overweight is CRAZY.
I have a question, how do these girls look so slim at much higher weights than me? I weigh 49kg but I still look fat 💀
Im 5,8 and 75kg because i have got quite a lot of muscle mass yet quite al lot of fat, in general, i am considered normal with a bit of extra fat or just curvy and in korea i would be considered very fat or even obese then…
That girl who was speaking in English literally looked like the healthiest one there. It’s sad she thinks she is overweight.
this footage has more quality than what I'm seeing in real life wth
I am Brazilian, i have half of the “desired” weight in korea in my butt only kkkkkk those beauty standards are brutal, but also speaks to their genetics. The genetics of my people are more Kardashian before ozempic than kpop stars.
I’m currently dating a Korean guy and I’m a US size 12 but I have always been on the thicker, athletic side, and his parents think I am like morbidly obese and told him to take me to the gym bc they’re worried ab my health and want me to live a long life but I’m pretty sure that was their way of politely saying “man she’s fat tell her to lose weight”😅
Thank God I'm Kenyan😊
im 5'3 and im 42kg 😭😭😭
at least in Europe, all the things that are saying in this vid are considered eating disorders. i suffered from anorexia and what they are saying are the exact things i thought when i was suffering from it!
Ive been hearing that korea is a nice place but hearing from yall makes me scared to visit 😅
Looks like S. Korea lacks a little on Kindness Department
사람들은 진짜 예뻐요 ❤
A lot of clothing sizes in Korea are free size and as a myself it just fits me and I wonder how is this a free size? Lol
I dont know if I can handle the scrunity of Korean people looking at my body. I am 68kg with 165cm, it's pretty normal here in my country.
They stick by 4b they should add changing the beauty standard too
Their culture of plastic surgery as a whole just screams insecurity like girl how about just love yourself and mind ur own business bye
Let’s talk about being ugly then because you can lose the weight but ugly is forever. Being a healthy weight is legit considered fat in asia it’s not about health but about toxic beauty standards. Half the ppl criticizing you are ugly themselves or fatter than you so just please keep your opinions too yourself ik way too many ppl that are traumatized by this and it needs to stop.
please please please remember, the avg healthy body fat percntage for women is from 21% to to 28% don't go lower or higher for anyone
58 kilogram girl’s face looks chiseled, either she’s extremely lucky or she works out a lot. My face is pudgy at 58 kilos, 17%body fat, and I usually need to be at 12% overall body fat to have a chiseled face.
Korean women have the longest life expectancy in the world. Live 11 years longer than the average American. Basically, traditional Korean food does not cause weight gain compared to the American and European diet. Americans who say dieting is harmful spend the most obesity health insurance money in the world on obesity problems.
It seems bc everyone looks very similar that it’s become a competition to look good and stand out from others
This is wild to me because where I'm from 40kg to 50kg is the average weight for preteens and teens💀.
It's kinda funny to me how this video came out without a single mention of the term "eating disorder". Because that is what this beauty standard promotes, anorexia, bulimia and binge eating disorder. It's just depressing.
