Asian girls, that's like monthly housing rent for some folks so no need to do

..all that IMO:

Young women in South Korea spend $700 a month on skincare. Now they're risking their jobs, relationships, and status to revolt against the K-Beauty industry.

In Seoul, the beauty capital of the world, surgeons offer recent college and even high school graduates discounts on procedures so they will be ready for the job market; resumes in South Korea often require job applicants to include a photo, as well as their weight and height.

One-third of Korean women between the ages of 19 and 39 have had some kind of cosmetic surgery, according to a 2020 Gallup Korea poll — 66 percent said they would go under the knife to improve their chances on the marriage market. Even more distressing, a 2007 survey by the brand Dove found that one in four Korean mothers advised daughters between the ages of 12 and 16 to go under the knife.

Yet some South Korean women have had enough.

Since 2018, hundreds of thousands of them have taken to social media to post pictures of themselves cutting their long locks and destroying their makeup. They storm the streets in baggy clothes and spectacles.

They called their movement "Escape the Corset."

"I describe it as a general strike against this kind of [aesthetic] labor that South Korean women are expected to do," said Elise Hu, whose new book, "Flawless: Lessons in Looks and Culture from the K-Beauty Capital," examines the $10 billion Korean beauty industry.

The young feminists Hu spoke with for the book reported that they spent between $500 and $700 a month on skincare. Some of them kept track of the time they spent each day grooming themselves to get ready to appear in public.

In giving up makeup, skincare products, and cosmetic treatments, Hu told Insider, "they freed up a lot of time and energy, which cannot be ignored because it's an important lever of our freedom."

Disclaimer: I know that I'm not grouping all person together but I have seen and know enough to understand what is not good for me. 

I lose respect for Koreans who lives in their own country.  IF they are Korean Americans in the USA then they are alright because they are minorities just like we are and we both carried that "American" title who must thrived in the American Culture ways. 

If you don't know, Koreans in Korea do not like us Asians from a different shore.  It all has to do with them thinking that they are the superior Asian race.  Hitler mentality anyone?   They see you like how the whites are bias against the Kaydoos in the USA.  If you want to know what them USA kaydoos feels in regards to their own racism and bias, just go to Korea and you will feel it.  A youtuber guy jimmy yang is so outgoing and has balls to the walls that his skits are literally out there in public and asking folks in public about everyday general questions.  He took it to korea and with a korean native translator by his side, he did an episode and boy, just asking for street directions would get the local pissed off at him.  So much rejections going on my gosh.  Jimmy is chinese

So if yo know this, do you know any hmong kids of yours that are into K drama and K pop or shall we say, Korean hmong wannabe?   I know how addicting and the "army" hype it can appeals to our  youth but send them to korea so they can learn the truth for themselves.  How the heck do you support something that reject your azz?  Kids, they don't know any better indeed.  Send them on a online research project so they can learn the truth and so that the truth can set them free. 

I once saw a korean youtuber chick who spoke about her fearing of going to her family gathering in Korea.  Aunty and even her mom would talk ill about the way she looks.  Things like "you should do something about that chin of yours" 

It is a known fact that after graduation from High school, the gift that most Korean parents who can afford it would be a gift certificate to get a procedure done.  Must be tough to live in a society where their society would grade on your looks first before anything else.  This leads to self esteem issue and this can be dangerous to a person's mental health. 

Asian American kids and adults who are into K pop?  I cringed!!!
