Random question, how come 'ant waists' arent as common in western celebrities as they are in kpop?

I have trouble understanding your question, to be honest.

Different body types look different, I guess? I don't even know what to answer here.

i mean they aren't super common in kpop idols either??? the majority of kpop idols are "square shaped" or don't have super defined waists because all bodies are different and not everyone is going to have the bone structure to have a smaller waist.

and ultimately it is just bone structure. the more space you have between your ribs and your hip bones, the more likely it is that you'll have an "ant waist"

because everyone is different. there are for sure some women in american media who have similar ant waist bodies, but it's a very uncommon body shape tbh.

Let me rephrase my question around your amswer beacuse my original wording appears to be a bit confusing. How come ant waist bodies are so uncommon in western media but common in korean media?

because there's more people in general in western media. unlike kpop, more people come and go i guess... so anyone with that body type in western media may be popular one year but the next she's a nobody..

also possibly western diet leads to more different body shapes.

Asians are also just genetically smaller so it's more common to see ant waist there.

Honestly it's not like idols have such body shape either, they just happen to be very skinny and get the illusion of an ant waist thanks to pads on their hips.

thin western artists are thin shamed

west (usa mostly) seem to like fat people

different strokes for different folks

Beauty standards are different so people don’t focused that much on ant waist in the west. West seems to like big hips and big boobs to me. But the overall affect will be the same I guess?

Tbh, I've never heard of an ant waist but it could be because western singers/celebrities have a different body shape and are heavier.

Different places have different beauty standards, now days, people here like that slim thicc body type which means big tits, a fat ass, and a flat stomach, but they're more open to the idea of bigger body types. If a artist is too thin or too big they're gonna face scrutiny tho

I think western celebs tend to be larger framed in general even if they are very thin

Ant waist surely has been a thing in western high fashion world.

Korean women tend to have small shoulders and less muscle mass thus, smaller waist.

Japanese women tend to have longer torso thus, longer gap between the rib and the hip yet, thicker waist.

Maybe I'm not sure what we're talking about here. Can you show me some western examples of ant waists?
