Are Koreans secret Euroboo's?

You sound as generalising as if you would claim that all Europeans would fake tan themself and would get boobjobs wich is not the case

Every country has people who like something and people who don't like the same things as them. You can't just go like as if all Asians would be like that

ok but the "big eyes" thing hardly stems from europeans imo. there are asian people with big eyes too. usually its eyes like this that are the "standard" in that category

anyway, wanting these things does not mean someone wants to be european. featurism is a thing, yes, and it is true that many people want features they don't have for whatever reason. but i think the framing of this thread kinda misses the mark. we could have a serious convo about these trends instead of jesting about it.

Korea will always be affected by the legacy of the Korean War and American occupation. They're one of the few countries that still seem to openly be grateful for what the US did to defend them from Communist invasion and to rebuild the country afterwards. Like many countries after WWII, Korea was a huge importer of American culture, and the US made TRILLIONS exporting it to Korea and every 3rd and 4th world country in the world.

So yes. The obsession with white skin is a vestige of something that happened way before white people came to Korea (white skin was associated with royalty and education, tan skin was associated with subsistence farming and laboring), but all the other things you name like small face, big eyes, button noses or tall noses, strong jaws, height, long legs, etc are definitely associated with American influence.

i think youre overreacting. the desire for big eyes or double eyelids in korea stems from WAYYY before korea even knew europeans existed.

at first that is a very strong generalisation and second its not only about the looks. kpop fans are really focused on that one thing.

many korean have a relative high meaning of various european achievements. may it be music, engineering, sports, art, culture, law, education or whatever.

No my friend, the Korean beauty standards origin goes way back to royal times and Joseon dynasty.

And not every European has those characteristics you mentioned, that is an extreme generalization.

IDK about Koreans but I think Japanese like Germans a lot, there's so many anime out there with references to Germany. Idk why Japan fanboys over Germany.
