What Do Koreans Think of ‘Single’s Inferno' & Korean Dating Culture? | Street Interview 

i’d love to see a follow up on peoples’ opinions about the culture of high end fashion and knock-offs/dupes! whether they think it’s actually an cultural/economic issue (with markets selling fake brands), on how people who wear those types of expensive clothing are treated compared to others

Yes please do that

First question : “Is wearing fake clothes acceptable?” Next question : “ Is plastic surgery acceptable?” Personally, I really don’t care. 🤷‍♀️ Just let them do what they want.

Want to know why Korea has such a toxic cancel culture

Yes please do that, I'd like to listen to if there is a change in any perspective now

yeah, none of their answers really made sense.

note how they never refer to dark skin as dark skin, they even refer to black people's skin as tanned. Like is it that hard to believe that people have natural dark skin? they make it sound like dark skin is a choice

@@rini9325 because it's not about black people, it is simply about people with darker skin

Asians can not to be the race of people who can proud and loudly proclaim racists views and get a pass for not changing with the times..The time has come to categorize them firmly in the white supremacist camp..And be treated accordinglly.

Sorry I didn’t see it from your point of view. Next time before I comment I will check with you and find out which point is important and how to respond💪🏾

they never said that white skin are better than dark skin though. They just said "I like Jiyeon's skin, its so light" something like that. Very same thing with someone that said "I like your tanned skin"

@@calsela its not just about the Netflix series , its about the general mentality of the korean people. One girl also mentioned in this vid that since past, they have the mentality that people having dark skin are seemed as labourers and more white the skin the more wealthy family they belong to, these kind of mentality is super self-destructive and racist.

@@calsela he might have not said that, but he still associated pale skin with innocence and purity, which is still wrong

Plus, his intentions were pretty clear too. He associates whiteness and/or paleness with purity. That's textbook colorism. Which has literally a direct tie to racism lol.

@agapp11able This needs to be said thank you. In my case of chinese culture we were also taught that pale means purity and my culture also prefers having pale skins. Notice how I said pale and not white because thats where all these foreigners get mixed up. They see "white" as a race and not a color hence why they falsely label others especially targetting Asians that we are apparantly "racist" for prefering a "whiter" skin. This is why I hate western culture of getting offended on basically nothing.

1. The right person will find you attractive no matter what the "beauty standard" is. 2. Go where you are celebrated not tolerated

dunno maybe you should have considered that before deciding to live in that country. Every country has its preferences so maybe choosing a country that aligns with your personal preferences might have been better experience-wise.

Honestly, i think its a matter of time. Some countries develop very quickly on certain aspects but slower on other aspects. Before in hollywood everyone had to be extremely thin to get attention, nowadays you need a curvier body to be part of the 'cool' people. Also the girl with the tanned skin om the show was very populair as well and seen as healthy right?

@@ChanChan-gu8jj every country has its problems. This is one I choose to live with. I love Korea and I wouldn’t live here if I didn’t. But I’ll never pretend it’s perfect. I have that right ☺️

@@ChanChan-gu8jj stop tolerating colorist just because you have a fetish for Koreans ....so it’s okay for Koreans to move to other countries and complain about hate ,but it’s not okay for foreigners to complain when they are treated poorly over there just because of their skin color......you really need help

It’s useless having these discussions and viewing it in the same lens as an American if you have no knowledge of Korean culture and language.

@@bindaegari1660 I'm not American. And I live in Korea and have some knowledge of Korean culture, and that's exactly why I think these things need to be talked about. Instead of the ever-same "that's just how we think, you don't understand, it's not a problem in Korea" or the "that's just old people, young Koreans don't think like that, don't generalize", etc. If Koreans don't want to reflect on their culture and don't want some of their old ideas to be challenged, then they can't keep exporting "k-everything" to the world. Which they really want to do it seems, so some discussions need to happen.

@@mga9440 You're looking at it from a western lens. You can't do that.

@@paullim1933 Yes I can, because that show is intended to be seen by Western audiences. If Koreans want to export that kind of content then they have to explain and discuss certain aspects of their culture with foreign audiences. Or keep to yourself. You can't have it both ways.

Pale skin equals beauty is ingrained in Korean's culture. You can't change it unless South Korean becomes a multi-cultural country which is unlikely. It's like trying to end racism. Impossible. And it's not an "old idea", South Korea and other asian countries all think the same even today. If you think about it, every country has their ideal beauty standard. Some countries like India prefer "chubby" woman, while some countries like China prefers "skinny" woman. In USA, girls with wide hips are considered sexy, while in Japan, girls with slim hips are considered beautiful. And the list goes on...

Why was she “canceled”??? Only hearing about this now…

@@allyssaca.6048 based on what I saw, issues are regarding her lying bout her stuff being branded which turns out to be not. lot more issues circulate after that such as her faking her image.. Hopefully the poor girl overcomes all of this...

@@hiycutie_inyoup omg! I feel awful for her, I truly hope she does rise above and overcome this situation. She seems like a sweet girl. I don’t think anyone should be canceled for materialistic things. So sad.

Yeah I wonder how netizens can escalate from criticizing her fake designers to sending death threats & digging up information on her family….The criticizing of her fake designers is valid (esp since she said she wants to start her own brand one day), I mean it’s already punishment that brands aren’t gonna sponsor her anymore, what more do they want? And why send death threats?

It's beyond being cancelled at this point it's a straight up witch hunt I hate to say it but I genuinely think some Knetizens just want her dead and only then will they be satisfied which is truly saddening

thank you!!!

@@yc3908 So darker-skinned people could also have a "pure" image too?

@@jpolt1317 Idk man personally when Korean people take their makeup off they mostly have somewhat darker skin colors

@@yc3908 so a tan girl like @p1urprinc3ss on Instagram with soft innocent features would still be considered “sexy” just because she’s tan?

@@aaliyahfrancois8341 That is solely your opinion...

"Typical korean" lol. Depending on where you are in korea people are darker or lighter. Got nothing todo with typical koreans. Tanned koreans are also typical koreans.

@@che7941 i think they just meant that koreans are typically pale

@@-red5231 Not really. Alot of them are actually darker-skinned. Look at snsd's debut pics. They're dark skinned, also alot of korean celebs are much darker in skin tones but the news sites and their fansites usually filter their skin tone to be paler to let their biases look nicer in pictures.

@@-red5231 they are not. Only in media everyone is pale (And in Seoul but Seoul is very different to other cities in Korea anyway). Once you go through korea most people are more tan than pale. If most people were really pale, skin bleaching wouldnt be such a huge thing. *edit: btw I dont mean everyone in seoul is pale - of course the skin colors differ there as well. But you will find more people with pale skin in comparison to other cities like busan or more rural areas. Also many pale people are not actually naturally that pale..

@@che7941 i'm just trying to reinterpret this comment 🤷

And literally the next scene was extremely handsome men

I can't see his face completely, but I think he looks handsome. Tall and somehow decent looking. I think his gf is also beautiful

Lol literally, they were saying not everyone looks like that while they were both pretty good looking😂

Especially when the culture was adopted from colonizers. My country indonesia used to adored healthy tanned skin, but get in the white band-wagon because netherland and portuguesse influenced.

@@nfspbarrister5681 same here in india with the britishers. it's almost crazy how we are still to heal from the trauma that colonialism gave us.

@@TM-wp8xy well...the netherland and portuguese found our country by mistake because searching for yours, afterall.😂

Skin color is a beauty preference. There are not many other words to describe the feeling of pure when seeing white skin. Color naturally gives rise to emotions. Red is hot or blood, green is grass and tranquility, blue is water, white is pure like snow, etc. I think this is a human thing, that is tied to our cultures and beliefs. It might be wrong, like snow actually is not pure because it can contain bacteria and microscopic organisms. But them tying it to racism, colorism, misogyny, etc... how exactly is that helping to solve the problem? The beauty standard is the standard because the majority of the people think its the standard. Tanned asians are at a higher risk of getting skin cancer than white asians. So just because you are tanned or darker, its not like its always a good thing. People like what they like, and saying that that is wrong contradicts every argument from LGBT groups to beauty standards.

@@deadtoy5360 maybe where you come from, bud. Where i'm come from, people whom have too pale of skin would be asked if they're sick or dead. :V

Why is she cancelled?

I mean why lie about a lifestyle u can’t afford, if u know u can’t take the backlash 🤡

@@zettt6001 Koreans found out she basically wore fake designer items on singles inferno. They started digging and found more fakes and other controversial things about her. Seems they’re more angry that she deceived her followers and tried to pass of fakes as real. I think now they also started digging into her past and have found some controversial info about her family. She definitely seems sketchy and has been caught in lies but I don’t think she deserves death threats and the amount of hate/bullying she’s getting 🤷🏻‍♀️

What i´ve heard was that it wasn´t only the fake clothes situation but also she had a channel in a chinese platform and people found out that she called kimchi using chinese words. It became an issue because of the history of the korean food. That´s why she deleted everything from her platforms and it´s not in social media.

@@zettt6001 apparently her dad also runs a shady business where women are basically pimped out to rich men. her company replied "no comment" on those allegations, so they are most likely true. the whole situation with her is a hot mess.

First they have no time for that and second its not that important for them, materialistic thing are key

I hear about personality only from those who've been cheated in the past.

The show lasted for about a week and were forced to pick favorites almost every 2 hours so of course it was shallow😂

If you are good looking in Korea then you have won a key that will open most doors. If you can add status and money to that then you have it all. The later are infinitely easier to get if your attractive. I have Korean family and have lived there. But it saddens me as to how extremely materialistic and competitive the society is. Korea is a fun place to visit but living there is soul destroying. Unless you are really good looking or very rich.

PRAISE! Exactly what I was thinking the whole time.. If people get married just because of their looks, their job, their height, their age... i bet they will get divorced soon.. Or suffer their whole life in a shitty marriage (Bc divorce is still a taboo in korea.. Weird world)

lol

Yeah, it’s actually sad that a lot of people haven’t realized this, but when you’ve been pale all ur like they probably looked at it like it isn’t their problem. I’ve been black my whole life so I don’t get that “luxury “

In the world you mean country asian country some western etc...... cauz

@@shalbec3232 I really wanna reply to u properly but I have no idea what it is ur trying to say

What is colorism?

BH to simply put it it’s preferring lighter skin over darker skin. It’s deeper than that though it causes stereotypes and prejudice for example in American media a large majority of mixed race/lighter skin actors are used to portray black people as a whole when there’s in fact a range of different tones not just one. It’s rooted in white supremacy and self hatred in Asia I’m guessing it’s more rooted in classism as having darker skin indicates that you do labour work and are therefore poor whereas lighter skin indicates that you spend your time inside.

@@Marjorie_ sis thxs for explaining it

@@Marjorie_ colorism is not rooted in white supremacism. Pale skin has been a beauty standard in asia for literally thousands of years before white supremacism existed. Ancient china, ancient india, ancient persia, etc, all these civilisations valued pale skin. It's because of its association with aristocracy, whilst the poor had to labour outside and so were more tan. With the emergence of white supremacism colorism definitely became linked, but colorism actually predated white supremacism. Asians don't want to be pale to look like white people, they want to look like pale asians. Many koreans are actually paler than white people anyway, since white people tan so much nowdays. So it's not self hatred, it's just a thousands year old cultural preference

yoyoyo Tell me you didn’t read my comment without telling me you didn’t read my comment.

its true. The westerners actually make a big deal out of it. Lots of reaction videos , reviews, memes about it when in fact its just one of the usual korean variety shows out there 😅

I watched a variety of them and I prefer SI. Your preference depends on what you're looking for and mood at the time.

@@phannah143 Business

I really love love catcher but it's so difficult to access. I watch on dramacool but the quality isn't the best, the ads are annoying and not everyone would know about it.

In regard to the premise of it, I don't see a massive difference between this show and _Love Island_ lol

it's scary how obsessive knetz are towards people who appeared on tv shows. there's no in between, they either like or hate celebrities.

@@waegugin Absolutely agree! That part of their society needs to change ASAP! I already know some people are gonna reduce it to "just their culture" but It's still not healthy at all. The general public has way too much control over some of these people.

They understand the issue. They’re not going to admit it in front of a camera. It’s called “saving face” and trying to portray Korea as the perfect country.

As a regular Korean (American), if you visit the country and see regular people (like my family) we don’t look glamorous and beautiful like that.

Yes, Lotus Garden!

Filipinos hype Korean things? I thought only some girls do. Don't you guys like Japan much more?

@NS -4 yes we do, especially teenagers. We love Japan but Philippines is slowly turning to become a Korean colony. Every trend here like makeup, clothes, entertainment, facials, diets, and workouts are based on what is hot in Korea right now. Even the cosmetic procedures and surgeries. It's actually saddening but it's the price of globalization.

@@lotusgarden8307 wow😮

@A N There's a difference between racism and colorism. Racism is between ppl from different ethnicities, while colorism is between ppl within the same ethnicity.

Yeaaaah

wait is that him? 😮

Single's Inferno should not be compared to Survivor as they are completely different shows. And remember, the show was filmed in a course of less than a week with strict rules in place. It was definitely tame compared to western dating shows.

I thought it was just there version of 'Too Hot to Handle' :P

This is a dating show and not a survival show. It's a completely different genre. Not sure why you woyuld be comparing the two shows??

RIGHT!!! I literally couldn’t get past ep 3 like it was such a slow burn for me. Also, in the show u could tell that everyone was holding back from truly expressing themselves cause they know Koreans are quick w/ toxic remarks.

There’s no comparison between survival and singles inferno…

I agree...the controversy is so stupid. Reminds me of when they attacked Tablo of Epik High. This is an embarrassment tbh

The problem is that she was monetizing off of her fake persona. For example, she’s using fake (copy) designer haul video to feed off her lifestyle. Copy merchandises are problematic bc it’s violating other people’s intellectual properties. This shouldn’t be discussed in a level that ‘Koreans’ want their celebrities ‘squeaky clean’. Also no one is ‘ruining someone’s life’. If a career is built on a false advertisement, there’s an adjustment in the fame accordingly. As a korean person living I. America, I find your ignorance offensive. As if Koreans partake in medieval and unjust witch hunt

@@qusmable I'd say it is fairly medieval to send deåth threats and to unearth someone's personal and family life all over some knock-off clothes...

@@ItsMeRhaine who’s sending death threats and how do you know that? Are you just consuming unfiltered rumors or do you actually know that person to know enough about what’s going on in their inbox?

@@ItsMeRhaine also, I wonder why you had to add that ‘as an American person’ you think the situation has blown out of proportion? For me, it indicates you would have a better judgement/handle on the situation which shows a total white savior complex

右に同じく

인정합니다.ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ 한국인이 흑인을 모욕한다면 지금 인기있는 조나단은 뭐가되는거지?

Annnnddd protect their “image ». You didn’t reject me, I rejected you. 😂😂😂

Anyone who goes on a show would look for some kind of publicity, it's not unique to to this show. Also two pairs with a potential for a third actually ended up dating in real life.

It means they are being genuine. That is the reason people go on dating shows like that in first place! American dating shows are better at hiding this fact or else why would anyone audition for reality dating show, Just to find love...such a hassel when you can do so in real life in a better and private way.

@@low_etc exactly!!

Well...what you expect when you're given basically a week to "find love"? Not like you can learn alot about someone and build a meaningful "connection" in such a short time.

Not every Koreans are racist. Im Korean but I don't agree with them. I prefer tan skin

@@seoul_louis9584 I dont think it is racist but shallow and short sighted howver as a black person with dark skin - I do also see what they mean. Asians tend to find white or pale skin pretty or cute - It is associated with youth. When I was growing up in the UK I used to think every blonde hair blue eyed child was cute and pretty. Probably because all the dolls available look like this and when I reached my teens I began to change my mind and thought many blonde hair blue eyed people were unattractive, By the time I was in my mid 20s I never thought any blonde man and very few blonde women were pretty. And moreover I thought they age badly . And to me people with darker skin and darker hair looked better and as I get older my view is cemented. I remember how Koreans loved Moon Hee-joon from H.O.T for his pale baby doll face when he was about 15 years old by the time he was 18 he was grew his hair to hide his face and he is now often teased that he was only good looking until his 16th birthday. He is still pale but not goodlooking , handsome or cute

Actually most of Korean people has been prefer fair skin since Joseon dynasty, before they know that other races(e.g. white&black) are exist. But society is changed. We all know that black people are exist now. Prefer only fair skin can be racist to black people. I don't want to being racist to them. Skin colors are doesn't matter to me

@@seoul_louis9584 I totally understand. I'm not strictly referring to koreans that's why I used "people" and not "koreans". Because while there are people who actively CHOSE to be racist, I know that some koreans are still not accustomed to the rest of the world hence coming off as "rude" or "racist".

@Jk It has to do with good and bad. Don't deny the fact that people not having 'fair' skin are often subjected to discrimination, no matter how subtle. Yes, you are right about preference but to push the whole issue under the rug in the name of it, is being very naive. Furthermore, in this modern era of globalisation, homogeneity doesn't get a 'get out of jail free card,' unless you are a member of a tribe living on an isolated island.

Oh god the bachelor O.O

That’s what I thought! They are all very well dressed and everyone’s hair is so put together.

I think single inferno might be ppl first time watching a Netflix show so they were suprised Honestly colorism bothers me but I’m a bit desensitized these days. Not sure it’s bc I been a kpop fan since 2019 or bc I’m south Asian 😂

@@seokiology I have been a KPOP fan since 1999/2000 and watched Korean films and it has always been a thing. Colorism use to bother me as I was never told I was pretty when I was younger because I am black and dark skinned but as I became older I think the workd beautiful or stunning was used whenver people wanted to compliment me - never pretty. I am kind of glad in a way as pretty and light skinned is sort of a youthful term and once you stop looking young you dont become beautiful you just lose your looks but beauty and beautful last much longer. The irony in Korea I am regularly complimented on my Beauty - Pretty like cuteness has a time span whereas beauty last much longer. And as on outsider I think South East Asians age really well and are beautiful women.

Eh, I reckon it's because of history.Fair skinned people usually were people that were mostly inside be due to their jobs or because they didn't need to go out because they had others working for them, which means they might've had higher positions in society. While people with darker skin were those that went out more(or worked in the farms and such) or worked by/for themselves, usually those with lower positions. I think this "white is beautiful" is mostly due because of this...and yeah, American/European influence...but mostly due to History.

me too. That doesn’t really bother me much because i just get used to it since I’ve into korean show for a long time 😂 just think of it as different culture

@@BeastChaeng I'm Korean, and I got slightly tan skin color compared to average Koreans. so I understand you guys in some degree. However, "white is beautiful" is not because of so-called western propaganda. People with white skin were considered to be more attractive, even in the ancient times in Korea, and even China or Japan. I hate it when people say that all of these is due to the west, or it's all western values. The truth isn't that. Whiter skin color has been prefered across the cultures for most of the time. My guess is that this preference for white skin is inscribed into our gene, causing a natural born instinct to seek it.

Yeah these shows seem quite dumb . Although it's not new for these kind of shows to get mass media popularity . It happens in every country

@@HOPE-wg5pb Yup.I thought they were gonna ask them about the FreeZia or FreeJia (I don't know how to write her name)scandal,since everyone was talking about them.But it seems like it wasn't the case

I don't understand how such shows get featured in top 10 as many indian series movies and kdramas far superior than the squid game and this sheet get no attention. It's depressing how race for views is killing the art.

@@mayankjha7444 I got the vibe of spitsvilla from this show and mostly these shows are fake, so fake couple and fake fights.

Yeah this is my opinion on it as well

language different. and born are different

It's even worse in Filipino entertainment. They make fun of the darkest skin Filipinos, they make fun of the LGBT community, they romanticise dating white people, too many half white actors, too many unessesary nudity and sex scenes and so many untalented people working in the entertainment industry.

Yeah, no hate towards korean culture. But when I was into k pop and kdrama I became so insecure about myface my body and my weight. I would stand in front of the mirror feeling bad for not looking pretty even though I am not korean. As I left, I started to love myself more.

@@thelasttimeiwasherewas17 proud of you. It's great when you learn to love yourself. A similar situation with me.I tried to "look korean" at a point but then i understood later how stupid it was and i'm beautiful in my own ethnicity and race

Yea everyone is nowadays (specially girls) mad for the korean Intertenment industry but its very just colorist, more looks driven and toxic....

@@heyitskc192 thanks, I am so glad that you have come out of it too. The imperfections we have is what makes us perfect. As long as we have a healthy mind, healthy body and healthy diet, who cares what the world has to say about us. Because once you get yourself into cosmetic surgeries to beautify yourself, it becomes an endless cycle of procedures and finally an addition.

It’s true. In 2011 I watched My first kdrama, it’s been 10yrs now and still I never got obsessed with fair skin. From last 2018-2019 suddenly in India, craze for kdrama and kpop started and since then going wild. In India who are not into it they call it Korean wave ( they don’t hate Korea or their culture) just the impact which it is leaving behind is what makes them get little angry. Mostly very young generations are going crazy because of this. Just Because of music and drama they fantasies the country which is not right. I know some teenagers who had goals to become doctor/architect now suddenly they changed their goals because they want to go to SK and live there not matter whichever the course is available. This line - “ I will go to SK and find my oppa “ is literally getting on nerve on people. It’s becoming hard for Indian parents to handle it because they can see what cost it’s coming with. Note : No one hates Korea or their culture in India. The impact is something which is making people worried for.

As you saw in the video, very few of them are aware or care for pervasive problems like colorism. In a society that values status above all else, you can see which way their moral compass tends to tick (not just in Korea).

Agreed with you

It's not the fact of wearing the fakes that's the issue.. it's the wearing the fakes while pawning them off as real, while pretending to live a life you not, while hocking your clothing brand that got her canceled...

It’s not just because she was wearing fakes, she created fake advertisements to advertise the fakes as real… the question is did she lie about having partnerships with the brands too? That’s gotta be illegal

@@AlexisBii I know promoting knock offs by claiming they're real is very wrong but the point I'm trying to make is that cancel culture is missed used in Korea. When some have done worst.

It was less of a "survivor" setting and more of a "Fyre festival setting" xD

That's comparing apples to oranges..... It's a dating reality show. Nobody sane will compare it to survivor shows.

@@sleepyearth You are correct but the depiction of stranded on an island was anything but. Hair, make-up, & clothing was perfection at all times. God forbid they had to actually prepare a meal.

how are people badly treated because of colorism? i cant think of examples of that. with xenophobia i can clearly see how that discrimination happens

@@golbinnom Back home I've seen people with lighter skin being treated better than those with darker skin in a group setting, it's subtle but still toxic + based off my friend's experiences. Also, being called names associated with darker-skinned people as a 'joke' to be looked down on which makes people uncomfortable in their own skin.

@@golbinnom it’s not Xenophobic if my own relatives tell me I look bad because I’m darker, right? Just because you haven’t seen or experienced color-based discrimination doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist. A lot of people across the world prefer fair skin and especially put women down for being of darker skin tone. This is colorism, not racism, not xenophobia.

@@Startpausing no, if its your relatives then its not xenophobia. its colorism.

seriously i was also thinking the same thing and he also said that they don't know them personally but they have Mutual friends

I don’t know the one in the right, but the one in the left I am sure I have seen him on tv before

It was a moral reaction. What was portrayed is not reality. From the agency, it was giving an audience the Free Zia brand via the golden spoon concept. Someone could be wealthy and not want to pay for high end luxury. Some could also be wealthy and pay for high end luxury but due to limited edition items or vintage, it is impossible to acquire even if one had money. It came down to Free Zia as a concept created by the agency to achieve desired branding effect vs. Free Zia as actual lifestyle of the person. This packaging to create desired effect is common in kpop to create a certain impression for audience/fans of the person. Each of the expensive clothing often would come with a story due to difficulty of acquiring an authentic one especially the vintage items.

The agency she is/was under just completely left her out to dry so the vultures can nit-pick

@@ItsMeRhaine The agency response is a pr disaster as they should have clarified earlier what are facts and instead the delay caused facts and speculation to get mixed together. The agency gave a corporate response which tried to limit damages on their part as in they were not involved with counterfeit luxury items and it was Free Zia choice. However, Free Zia did not understand luxury branding and unknowingly bought counterfeit items from street stalls and online website. The first part shifted responsibility from agency to Free Zia. The latter part is defense that she did not know they were famous brands and unknowingly bought counterfeit items. This is a valid potential defense since they are people who think they bought genuine luxury item and paid high price and ended up with a counterfeit item. e.g. paid a seller $20000 and later found out vintage bag was counterfeit. Very different from buying a $30 item and thinking it is genuine. Admitting to any responsibility in the counterfeit scandal would have made the agency a target to be sued by the brands and people would start digging up their other influencers under their management to see if others following the golden spoon concept brand strategy is similar situation. It escalated to a point where Free Zia had to push the shutdown button. It is high pressure because everything from family background to any decisions made as a teen to adulthood is put under a microscope and scrutinized. Free Zia was targeted from the looks of it. Otherwise the agency would have been scrutinized since they had more than one influencer who is under the golden spoon concept branding.

“Not bad” ain’t cute lol

Actually

Not really...he's basically saying that we are being too sensitive about the colourism and should just chill. He doesnt seem to understand and doesnt even seem to want to understand how colourism is a problem.

That's not a dating show tho, it's the Italian version of the reality show Survivor, and at some point the contestants are so hungry, underweight and tired that they don't care about hooking up and only think about food

Every culture or country is obsessed with something. In some countries, people think you should be overweight to be pretty, in others slim and in others thick. In some countries tanned skin is the preference and in some countries light skin. In some countries they want to be tall, in other they want to be smaller. I my country everyone wants to be tanned and slim. Beauty standards that are not achievable and plastic sugery is becoming more popular here (Germany) aswell.

@@webuiltthepyramids3446 Preference is different from discrimination. Do you know how PoC are seen in South Korea?

As an Asian I find Asians in general aren't taking colorism and white supremacy seriously enough or they know little to nothing about them. Unlike in America they take it very seriously. So serious there's thing happening among white people called white shame.

@@webuiltthepyramids3446 are you trying to say that discrimination against non pale skin color should be tolerated? I don't want to assume so I'm asking

That's normal for dating shows everywhere though imo, at least the ones I've seen, they always cast these kind of ppl.

Are they generally tall really?

@@Spacefacts995 Korea is the tallest asian country imo, but if you compare them to western countries i'll say average

@@Spacefacts995 Koreans and northern Chinese are the tallest in Asia. It has to do with evolution. I watched a documentary that analyzes physical features of people in warmer vs colder zones. Humans who are native to colder zones tend to be taller.

@@EVL-xj5vc This surprised me. So Koreans should be popular among Southern Asia countries. I am 167 cm and I count myself as avarage in my country. However I have read that Southern Asians are generally short but, I didn't know their comparisons, so thank you for the info 😊

South Korean male are average 173.80 cm, women 161.40 cm. That’s tiny. Try Sweden, The Netherlands, Serbia, Estonia, Latvia, Montenegro, Denmark for tall people. 20 countries across Europe top the male part, 11 European countries have the tallest women on earth.

What?

@@bmwjourdandunngoddess6024 what was confusing abt the comment?

@@VshapeDino Why are you out here hating on Koreans sm? What have you got against us ffs

@@rjlee-cc4xy I am not talking about Koreans buddy . I like Koreans a lot it's just sad to see so many of these foreigners teaching Koreans about way of life

계급주의가 존재하지 않는 나라가 있나요? 물론 한국의 계급주의가 잘못되었지만 서양사람들의 계급주의는 어떤가요? 우리는 반론할때조차 영어를 써야 합니다. 우리는 서구권 문화를 전반적으로 이해하고 배우지만 서양 사람들은 자기네들이 관심 가지는 주제가 아니면 우리에게 관심이 없습니다. 당신이 영어로 우리를 가르칠때 계급주의가 뭔지 생각해 봅시다.

@@user-vg3ly7le8j I understand that South Koreans are under pressure to learn Western culture, which is unfair. However, that does not mean colorism and classism in South Korea is justified. I feel like you are changing the topic.

@@mawuwus A lot of them do that, they try to divert the problem or blame on to other countries with "Its worst in other countries" etc.

I think you misunderstood what she said. She only explained why pale skin is historically preferred. That's not to say that it still applies to Korean society as classism. Currently, the preference for pale skin in Korea is not related to race or class. Preferred faces change with the times. If Korea becomes a more multi-ethnic and multicultural country in the future, the standards will change. In other words, this problem will be solved over time.

Thats not what the girl said tho

It is just much more tame

@@visa9313 exactly its more like watching some boring as movie

@@soeunpark6935 who is he??

ANYONE with common sense would know that the vast majority of the human population are average looking.

Same. The guy and his girlfriend who said they look average were actually very good looking, so I was like what🤨😂

You're right, these people are completely missing the point, it's colorism but they don't see how it's problematic

@@-red5231 Most of them become so defensive and started explaining why they think white is better. They dont even want to address that its an issue
