Just wait until this guy gets drafted into the Army, as all Korean men are.
Fad for young’ns not responsible for dealing with complex life management issues. When the SHTF young’ns won’t have the time or money to spend on such activities.
I work with lots of Koreans...they do well...and they have the means for self indulgence....causing medical harm to one of my younger colleagues. He too is preoccupied with “looking good”
It’s the increasing consumerization of our society globally.
Has anyone ever checked what the average millennial woman takes into the shower with her? It’s got to be 8-10 soaps and lotions and potions, with all kinds of brushes and scrubby applicators.
My Asian girlfriend says it is now an epedemic in most asian countries and it’s impossible to find a “real” man. They look and act like girls.
IMO it is due to pumping soy and plasticizers into damn near everything they eat/drink.
The USA is not too far behind. Comparing most American young men to those from Russia is like night/day. I think locking kids up indoors in fear of pedophiles also has something to do with it. In Russia they are still free to play outside and do real “boy” things
OH MY .....
Corporal Klinger was a coward who dressed in drag in hope of a discharge. It may well be that S. Koreas more feminized Klingers hope for a discharge from the social responsibilities shouldered by real men, including defense of one’s country.
In Thailand, they call them ‘ladyboys’. :P
Soi-boi’s on the march...
Time will tell if this is a fad, for now, or any sort of permanent cultural change.
My belief - As Koreans have become much more international, and will continue to do so, and in spite of the current popularity of young Korean music groups, I think international influences that are not in favor of normalizing makeup for men will prevail in Korea, not the other way around.
