9 Korean beauty standards
The Korean beauty industry is active because of these strict cultural beauty standards. They have endless innovations in Korean beauty trends and products that can enhance one’s appearance.
Here are some things that are included in Korean beauty standards:
1. Small face
The first standard of beauty in Korea is to have a small face. Some say that the explanation behind this is because Asian people have small eyes, which makes their faces look quite large.
2. V-shaped jaw
According to the vou page, the desire to have a bigger face is so high that Koreans hide part of their jaw when taking pictures or use filters on social media to get a V-shaped jaw.
3. Small and pointed nose
Another important facial feature that is included in the Ginseng Country’s beauty standards is having a small and sharp nose. People with small faces and sharp noses are seen as very graceful and beautiful.
Interestingly, although having a small, sharp nose has been an important beauty feature in Korea, a large nose was a sign of beauty centuries ago.
4. Thin lips
Having thin lips is also one of the Korean beauty standards, but currently having heart-shaped lips that look full is considered very admirable. The lower lip should be fatter than the upper lip. These facial features mostly require procedures such as the addition of lip fillers.
5. Pale white skin
Contrary to the golden brown skin tone that is so popular in the West, pale white skin is de rigueur in Asian culture, especially in Korean society. Koreans’ desire to have pale skin is deeply rooted in the culture of many Asian countries.
It all started from everyday life during the kingdom era as an identification of social class and up to the present day as a standard of cultural beauty.
6. Bigger eyes
Since South Korea’s ideal beauty standards are built around creating a youthful appearance, having bigger, brighter eyes is very important.
Big, round eyes are considered beautiful because such eyes combined with a small face are thought to give an overall youthful appearance.
7. Double eyelids
One of the most popular Korean beauty standards known is having double eyelids. Most Koreans are born with single eyelids. So, to reach Korean beauty standards, most of them are willing to undergo double eyelid surgery.
This operation is called East Asian blepharoplasty, which is a procedure that aims to wrinkle the upper eyelid.
8. Slim body
Even though South Korea arguably has the lowest obesity rate globally, more than 60 percent of Korean women and 41 percent of men diet.
This choice is associated with the desire to have a slim body which is highly praised and seen as a sign of beauty in Korean culture.
9. Long legs
Apart from slim facial features and a slim body, having long legs is desirable in South Korea. The legs should be longer than the upper body. They have the term 8-headed body figure, which means the length of the face multiplied by eight should be the total size of the body. This is the ideal size according to Korean beauty standards.
So, those are some of the things that are included in Korean beauty standards. Hopefully it’s useful, yes, Mother.
