in the west sensitive to get sensitive yeah so follow you sensitive people out there wa what is he going to say sensitive people out there this is The Stereotype we're talking about all right so you know but yeah just a trigger Warning we are going to be getting into like body image and diet and Etc so if you're not in like a healthy head space right now I suggest we suggest you come back to this when you're feeling better and please take care of yourself you know I feel like this like giving the trigger warning

is not going to help at all it's only going to make people watch till the end no I I feel like they're going to be like why would this trigger me exactly exactly why would why do you Think this would trigger me huh Ashley so let's start with wait but I like your hair today yeah like it you look like it's kind of given like um like high school like scene Vibes a little bit I feel young today super I looked at the mirror I was like Dam I look kind of young today you look

young man very young thank you thank you it's kind of like scen hair what's scen hair like uh Like kind of emo-ish like oh yeah like hair remember asked for it to why does that sound so familiar the biggest YouTube channel when we're when we used to watch you okay okay I remember remember those two dudes yeah SM yeah who doesn't know do you know SM yeah you were if you know it's not a generation gap thing I was in like Elementary School when smos was Big I think you were chronically online ever since you

were little I was always Online chronically chronically online anyways um we all look good today M you look great you look you look the best oh really with the blue is this your personal color no it's cuz I have an event today and the dress code was blue so I was going to say who you trying to look up for yeah oh yeah if you guys can't see cuz it's not like zoomed in enough her eyeliner and her eyelashes are bluo to lashes are lashing today all Right your eyes are kind of creeping me out

all right okay anyways [Music] all right so let's talk about beauty standards in Korea and how they're different from the beauty standards in the west I think the most obvious one is like super pale does is beauty standards in Canada and in the states the same is what I wonder yeah you guys are on West so we have the similar I feel like probably yeah okay yeah Korea they like Slim super pale yeah you got to be very very slim like yeah yeah that's been around for a really long time long black hair what I

feel recently is like a lot of the dudes want to get like bigger in mus in muscle muscle mass yeah it was for a little bit but then I feel like it's going back towards like this but not like not like the oh you look like you're like starving skinny but like fit Lean Like A yeah not like bulky but like skinny but cut right no because even When we just debuted in the early 2010s the kop boy groups they were all like super skinny right they were skinnier than me but now we actually see

like kind of like fit like Kpop and the kids these days man like I see like um High School kids are like so tall I know what are they I what they're eating now it's different I had a conversation about this with uh my boxing coach Korea is eating better now right because it's Making so much money so he feels like that has a really big influence on the growth of kids and like kids yeah cuz you see kids not is they're like they're big like they're they're like really well structured even girls are just

like super tall tall that's why you get more models you get more like you K-pop artist you know do you think it also has to do with like we used to actually run around and play sports but then kids these days are just on their cell phon Sitting down not playing outside that that would make them like shorter no cuz they're not using any muscles but how what does that have to do with you know how like when you're swimming when you do swimming or when you when you're a b boy or you break dance

at a young age um all the stuff that should go to your height goes to your muscle so they don't grow as tall no swimming I heard actually helps promote with the shoulder broad Shoulders anyways um nice try as nice try wrestling and stuff might stump your growth cuz it's like so physically exact whatever no I heard so much uhuh I heard weightlifting doesn't really stunt your growth either no when you do it young it does it does yeah it's not as like influential to your height as people thought it to be look at gymnastics

are they are they all pretty smallart I think it's because I think it's because there's so much like um shock to the Body in gymnastics but no I think gymnastics is it's like that because it's like you have to have that body type to be successful in that more advantageous so it's like yeah so it's kind of like natural selection it's like the better you know who's who's better at the sport it's like the people with that body type yeah but I I do feel like it has like it does have to do with all

the shock that goes through your body it's like in Korean high School it's like oh this kid's tall like you want to try basketball yeah we were just talking about that outside I was explaining to them how much of a waste of height I am anyways no but Korea also like I never even knew they had this in America but in Korea they literally go to the doctors and they check if their like sang pan is still open like yeah if they like yeah their growth spirit is still open or whatever I did that too

in America though oh you did do it there were Korean clinics and I was in junior high school they said I should grow to 171 CM like that's my maximum height wow but I'm only 166 I mean pry I supposed to be like 6'2 or some [ __ ] and I'm 5'8 that's still pretty good too though what's the standard of like tall in America like how tall do you have to be in America over 6 feet to be tall is what consider once the the front number is a six then people 511 is pretty

tall 5 is tall I think 5 that's why there's so many memes where it's like 5'11 and 6 foot it's only like an inch apart but they're like how people see 5'11 it's yeah right 6 feet it's like ship and P ship Co it's like pip oh you're tall exactly same concept yeah it's the same so going back to how Koreans love the pale look like why do you think that is where does that come from so I've heard it um it represents if like long time ago before there was any like you know Buildings

and like things were very under um develop underdeveloped uh back when slavery was still a thing M if you were dark skinn it meant you worked all day out outside in the sun and if you were pale it meant you were royalty to the all the so I think that's where a lot of Koreans kind of like distinguish like that's why they have like Chum you know if you're dark they automatically call you they call you chum yeah because They it's not even like from slavery it's even like just just working in thei working yeah

I mean days yeah people could be working in farms and stuff yeah yeah but it does have to do with kind of like status I guess 100% yeah but I personally don't like looking pale I Am Naturally pale but like I'm tanning cuz I just think being taned looks more healthy like to me it's like growing up in America like I'm kind of leaning towards that same same even for dudes if You're a bit more tan like if you work out like you can right like the muscle defition yeah that's why people get like they

rub all that brown paint on themselves before body yeah the bronzer yeah yeah yeah it's like I don't know I think those are funny cuz it's like their face is like super white and then their body like I don't know they do that they do make oh they do but they put makeup um they put makeup on the bodybuilding like When they do the on the face so they like on the face oh do they do face makeup I've seen it happen a lot they should find a foundation that matches their skin tone so do

you get more points if you look good like facially they don't really I mean it helps tan the face it's like body only when they tan that looks so fun just keeps getting darker and darker and then it just stays the same and then yeah what do you think about bodies like That like super do girls really like like it's not appealing to me unless I like love going to the gym and I'm also a bodybuilder like I don't think we would be compatible because they would they always need to watch what they eat and

they always have to work out no I'm just talking about like aesthetically aesthetically AE not for you no so what's like a healthy I like some fat like I want to grab like handles you want some love hand I want to squish and I don't want it to be rock hard you know I want there to be some blubber why you looking at me yeah some blubber I've seen so many memes of like never mind anyways another huge thing is like head size and face size that's so crazy so when I first came to Korea

when I was a traine they were like okay you're going to have to get to like you're going to have to shave your cheekbones and your jaws because in the west um they like Cheekbones and Jaws they like having that like jaw line def but in curry it's all about the oval face shape right you got to have that vline and like oval I don't have an oval face me neither and they were like you got to do a shaving thing like all around and I was like so scared because they were they said it

takes like like 6 months to recover and it could go really wrong right just the idea of carving the bones out of my face just seems so scary so I was like I Can't do it I can't no you you I'm glad you didn't they wanted me to do it too on my jaw cuz I have like a like Buzz Lightyear jaw yeah sare it's really good for boxing it's really maybe really good for Iron Jaw right there Iron Jaw bro I like boxing yeah yeah but then they wanted me to get like the Korean

like if you did that your face would not exist like you already have such a small face it would just be gone cuz in America nobody comments saying like oh My God you have such a small face like oh my God you have such a small head yeah that might be offensive to somebody like I have a small head are you saying I have a small brain small head I've seen more people in America get made fun of for having a small head than a big head like really I've I've seen a lot of people

get made fun of cuz they had a big head like like how big it was it like this is like they would call them like Aliens cuz you know Al really I heard that when I came to Korea you heard that yeah cuz you yeah yeah like oh W but then like they meant it as a compliment but I was just like oh like cuz I'm from overseas Ali I'm an alien I like I am like an alien I guess and they're like no like your head is so small I was like what does that

mean I was like what good evening or morning or whatever time it is in your current snack and de of sweet Euphoria I'm Eric num you're slightly Overworked and under caffeinated host and today I've got breaking news that's going to make your sweet tooth tingle b day November 11th a day to exchange these sweet little sticks as a symbol of friendship and love that tastes like well some might say pure happiness and because it's Scorpio season this is where things get very interesting beepo is looking for 10 Global beo reporters Yes you heard that right

you apply today and who knows you just might be the next peper reporter this is Eric n signing off snacking on and can I get a copy with these thank you see you guys later what about what about being short what's what's considered being short what height is that in the states or in in the Western World I'm probably considered short in the states I'll You 5ud is kind of like the cut line right for men like what's the average height For men 5 seven 57 ni average so so yeah you're good that's Korean thinking

bro that's a Korean thinking so if that's average then you would have to cut a couple inches down below that 5'9 is average uhhuh okay [Laughter] below it's like this tell like it's this much this much literally this much of a difference you can't even tell like with relative to who you know that's also Important but we're going to look at it Global because we're inclusive you know what the thing is in Korea it's not about just the height it's about the proportions too like py like even if you're like what 5 seven 5'6 if

you have like good proportions yeah like they praise you for it yeah if you have a tiny head and you're 5'7 and you look 6'2 in a in a photo I think they like it I that's why they stress the importance of having a small head cuz it's all About the proportions and if you look at Celebrities they all have like really small faces and head yeah so even if they're short they look like they have very tall you can't have everything just you can't nobody's perfect but I'm sure if they be if they come

up with like some medicine or like some some sort of surgery to make your head smaller like a easy really easy surgery to make your proportions better how do you do that Kens will go crazy for that Bro yo there's already like people getting knee extens yeah what is the procedure in that well they extend the knee and then they let the bone connect in between they create a space I don't think they put like stuff so I'm sure you can't do any like crazy activities no you have to recover for a while the bone

can grow and reconnect like that no they um I don't I don't know exactly what the procedure is they extend it with the thing put Something between how much do you gain out of that like how much like C wise I know but like how much was 5 something now he's over 6 feet oh jeez yeah he was probably like 5'9 or something 5'8 I don't know I think I you can't grow that much taller that's crazy oh we got the T oh sorry it sounded like a freaking T so like some sort of number

and then there's the wordin soin is supposed to be like like the perfect like proportion so you take the head the head counts as One and if you can fit eight heads next to your full body picture that means you have really good proportions but what if you like take a picture like yeah it's all about the angles I can make myself look like six feet tall it depends on how you take the picture yeah we all can you know what I think I might have like I was supposed to maybe be 6 feet cuz

my like wingspan is like true how tall how you long what's your reach so I don't know in like feet and inches but so my Height is 174 CM yeah but my wingspan is 184 what wait what's your feet size shoe size 270 so size 9 oh D that's pretty good really good for Bo some you're trying to get him Bo yeah I mean he Wing is good for basketball you know that right I did that too yeah got injured both of them yeah so let's not do it anymore no it's all good you know

just give me a like few more months I'll be back how about body weight this is a very sensitive it's not About the weight is always I talk about that it's not about the weight cuz you might have a lot of muscle and muscle weighs much more than fat but a lot of Korean people I don't know if they just don't want to know about that or they just don't know they care about the number of the number of yeah cuz even when you're a traine they just make you okay you got to be 48

kg like just to everyone no matter what their height is like you can't be above 50 kg if you're Above 50 k they're like how could you be above 50 kg but they they might be like 167 cm tall and that weight is very low for someone who's that tall you know for me I think health is just the most important whatever weight you're at like you just got to be healthy man you know your blood work your insulin levels all that like put that first this is not about the beauty standard but the age

thing too in Korea it's like crazy like I didn't care about my age until I came To it's like oh my God it's so important to I feel like that's everywhere I feel like that was there when I was young too really in in the states like what what specifically are you talking about agewise like you got to you got to have some sort of financial like stability when you're this age you're talking about status or yeah or like you got to be this successful in what you're doing before you're 30 you know like yeah

but in Korea it's like too much of That I I feel like that pressure Falls a lot on the girls like like let's say I'm 20 like right now I'm 28 right yeah I can comfortably just go to like be in the states or in Canada and talk to someone there and be like and if they ask me how old I am I'm like I'll be like Oh I'm 28 yeah but when I'm in Korea it's like oh I'm H man they're like you're not oh oh you're pretty you're pretty getting you're getting old now

that is not old bro like 28 is not Old yeah I feel that's just cuz we're in this industry true this is a young man really I think it's like just in society in Korea too like 28 oh you I just see like what you know what I mean but I said that I will put into perspective think about how you thought when you were 16 17 and how you viewed 28 yearolds getting ready to go into their 30s I thought when I was 15 by the time I was like 25 26 I would have

a kid I did too but now that I'm here I'm Like oh no you know what I mean I need something I I think my perspective was different because I had older brother who were like much older so I saw my brother as like cuz he was 28 when I was like like literally 17 years old and they were living that young life was living that young life so I was like I had that different kind of you know no go no you go no you go no you go no please I forgot what I

was going to say did you forget too no I remember I Was just going to say all the older figures like un opas I had in my life were like church un opas so they just seem so mature and like already grown and uh fashion and everything was different than too so they looked a little older than they actually were cuz you saw them at church and nowhere else I know different outside yeah well you might have seen them outside you just didn't recognize them no but um for weight loss it's Crazy cuz even for

me when uh we were on a Hiatus for pretty long right and there weren't no uh news of making a comeback or whatever but but my company was like okay we're making a comeback in a month and because I was going through a rough time back then I had gained weight because I wasn't you know taking care of myself I was kind of stress eating they were like okay come back as in a month you got to prepare and then they were like you need to lose like a lot of Weight right cuz I was

kind of chubby so then uh they took me to a clinic and you know the um the thing where they inject needles into your thighs and they put to burn your fat oh you and they put some kind I don't even know like they they just told me to do it I was like okay but like I don't even know what it actually is but it's supposed to dissolve your fat and it's supposed to come out of your pee right so they made me do that like TW two twice a week and Then I also

took anti- um like appetite suppressants right to you don't want to eat oh my God so bad I lost like 8 kg in like 3 weeks like so fast I was so unhealthy my immune system was so low so I went to the skare clinic and I got the toning laser that I always did like I've I've been getting it forever but my immune system was so low that just with that weak toning treatment I got like my face went like this like as if I got stung by me everywhere yeah cuz It that was

even too much for my I guess skin you know so I was like what the heck this is something I used to get all the time but I guess because I was eating well and like you know that so much chemicals entering my body and that pill probably you know it makes your heartbeat like crazy like you can't really sleep your blood levels were probably off too yeah so I had to go to the hospital and then get pills again on top of that and I was like I can never Do this your kidneys are

working overtime trying to process all that put in your body I can't ever do that oh not like the kidneys the uh liver wait no kidneys I liver liver Li kidney well everything probably all my or everything was working over time yeah but you'd be surprised a lot of people do that wait it burns the fat and you have to and it comes out of your pee but I didn't know you have to do it every like twice a week that's CRA I mean I think they Suggest once a week but because I had to

lose weight fast yeah and then you would get bruises all over your thighs and then I heard about that but I didn't know it came out of your pee what the heck you know this is a different subject but what do you think it's going to take take for K-pop labels to stop being so extreme with this type of uh I don't know if it can change right like the Korean beauty standard has to change if you want K-pop to Change I guess true cuz they're just trying to Market to the general public of Korea

yeah it's got to be like over time it has to change no one's going to be like all right we're going to decide on what's pretty and goodlooking now like it's going to be like Generations needs to pass changing a little bit I feel like but um very slowly very slowly very slowly cuz they are there is like the whole like Kang me these days too now fit fit body type or whatever so It's like it is changing a little bit but it's still a long road to go yeah I agree there's a growing demographic

of fans and people who are more into that Fitness life I think it's because the whole like Fitness world is growing a lot too mhm I mean there's like a gym in like there's like five gyms each block each block they Pilates pil Studio I recommend yeah Pilates is great I need to get I need to especially these days cuz everyone's on their like phone And so their shoulders are probably getting more rounded and then they're they're getting tech neck yeah probably cuz they're looking down at the phone all the time you need to do

IIT I got a bit of the the turtleneck thing because I'm always like turtleneck Compu is it called tech neck in America turtleneck is the like this [ __ ] yeah they call it K in Korea bro know come on bro they don't call it turtle man that's tech neck [Music] then yo let's talk about beards let's talk about beards beards growing beards in Korea it's hard to grow a beard if you're Asian I so many unless look at one but unless if you no but you got like he's got the good like the the

good jeans to grow it but like people like me it's like if I want to grow it I'm going to get like patches here like patches here don't all Idols get the laser removal for beards and mustaches do that Lot people do I don't want to do it because it hurts apparently it hurts a lot it hurts a lot yeah but it's so annoying to shave like every day people get laser removal on their pubic hair too oh why you're never going to show your pubic Care on stage oh that's just for like just for

self satisfaction no but yeah um I guess like they're just too like because getting it waxed every once in a while or like like they're too lazy to shave or whatever so I heard if Do laser like a few times then like it just doesn't come back at all not a few times you got to get it like 10 times have you guys ever gotten your fuse wax before no dude have you it's pretty bad it's it hurts it hurts can't even I'm scared to go Hur relxing that's just not like each like two you're

just like oh why is it called I was just curious why is it called Brazilian waxing why is it braz oh my God I looked this up Before it originated in Brazil oh it did it no I have no idea okay thanks I before I forgot why is it called Brazilian waxing yo that's right there you see that picture brail of the woman in pain that's me the woman in pain yeah bro so painful was it kind of like The 40-Year-Old Virgin scene is I think he did it for real he did it for he

actually got Kelly Clarkson I remember that I remember that I remember that yeah it's pretty bad yeah like after I started the first two I was like when are we done and then I looked down and I was just like not even close yeah days they got like literally Shavers just for the pubes so yeah yeah it's easy now have you guys got Kung before kung oh yeah how was that how was that experience hurt like on your face tell them what it is first they know what they probably don't know what it's like it's

hard to explain but they Literally muscle like restructure massage they literally like it's like your face is like putty or something like they just squish the out of your face to make it look to stick to your bone more and to get your like skin lifted up or make your face head face smaller yeah it's supposed to be for like it's killing the muscle like in does that exist in the states I have no idea I've never heard of itzy I've gotten it in New York because It was a Korean Clinic it does exist then

it's a Meridian massage oh okay yeah you know you have muscles on your face like so many muscles on your face and sometimes if they become stiff or if they Clump up like that's what it's for yeah might sag a little more so uh when you get it it's really important to uh massage like the scalp because that's where all the tense yeah stress and tense muscles are so they're always like I remember this I was like and like over Here for the lymph nodes to like open it up and there's like different ways of

doing the meridium massage some people just like punch out of your face like oh I've seen that there this one really famous place where all the celebrities go to and it's just like they take their Knuckles and they go like oh like punch like crazy and they wrap you up like a mummy and then you have to do that for a little bit um and then there's people there's someone that they just like like You know just try to like make your bones hard I thought the purpose was to make your face smaller by um

relaxing your muscle the mus well what then I always wonder what is a what like when someone goes to get a facial what is that that's just depends on where you go to get yja Vu I asked this question before and he said the same thing depends on what kind of fa you're looking for I think we we we We said this before no I just been in your dreams oh my got so weird he said the same thing why do you dream about me it depends on what you're getting like as soon as he

said that I was like what the hell this is deja vu anyways any anyways uhuh but um okay so it's just a skin care it's fa yeah like popping your pimples and just like you moisturizing it got you got you gotta but yeah in the west they don't have merium massage I'm not I don't Think maybe they do somewhere they might I'm sure they do but I don't think it's that like it works though right in Korea like it you have to keep getting like you have to consistently get it if you stop it's going

to come back massage also good for people that have like asymmetrical faces like it makes it more symmetrical and you can get it all over your body not just your face how is your how are your faces is it asymmetrical or mine Asymmetrical mine's so you know there's a St that's why when you wear sunglasses you look a little more attractive it's because it makes your face a little more symetrical it covers your asymmetry what about me I look worse with sunglasses well sucks for you I have a problem because I my one side of

my I has the the sangapur and one doesn't oh it means you're a player what me does this come from I heard that too cuz when I first came to Korea I Only had it on one eye but after after I lost some weight like yeah I just had but then I heard that when I first came to Korea too no when I grew up in Canada I didn't have any double eyelid things you came to Korea you became a play I came to Korea and I lost a bunch of weight I think I lost

like 20 kg and then I got one I was big and I got like one side here and then one's not so I'm like look dumb like no no that's fine it's kind of attractive It's like a bad boyage maybe that's why yeah maybe that's why it thing that's like so that's what they say in Korea yeah you're like a player how do I make one bad boy bad boy with your Ted arm and your one double ey it's like a wannabe thing you know I just wannabe bad I heard that too though should write

a song about it taboo thing or Tabo or I don't know yeah girls get a lot of the double eyelid surgeries double eyelid for their like college present or like a Graduation present mhm crazy like a high school graduation there's deals yeah oh there's like discounts like if like if you do like the Korean like SATs pretty much they give you take like the your like sat scorecard or whatever you get like like 50% off some places I make money bro yo I know I know some girls that that have gotten a boob job for

their gr graduation pres the states are here dude I feel like they're not even like done developing developing like Yeah yeah that's not probably not a good idea to do that up high school isn't that too young to get a boob job I yeah I mean I she was the same grade as me so I was like whoa like and at that time those weren't really like a thing too big of a thing like boob jobs and bbls and whatnot yeah yeah but like it's really common right now and it's so easily talked about cuz

before I feel like everyone was more like oh you know fully natural is like the way to go but Nowadays in the states everyone's getting BPS yeah but injections yeah in Korea too I surpris a lot of Koreans have started doing that too I mad at it I mad at it at all but it's just it's so uh common now as opposed to like the image of what it was before I'd say even like 5 years ago like it was a little frowned upon right yeah yeah in Korea or in the states in Korea yeah

in the states I feel like everyone was doing it for like Since like 10 years ago and they're so good at it too they're so like so it is changing the standard is changing all the procedures all the Cosmetic Surgery you get done have consequences like potentially have consequences like even fillers I heard Botox oh everyone gets these like weird lip filler things it's creeping me out yeah but some like a lot of the times they go wrong and then they have to inject it to melt it and I heard that's more painful I heard

that's super Painful yeah like like they're it's like you can though why why would you get it after they get it if they kind of get it messed up or something I heard melting it hurts even more oh you have to melt the filler wow yeah y got some good lips huh imagine yeah imagine doing that to your butt though oh my goodness that would hurt so bad I think I would hate this more than the butt I feel like the butt would hurt a little less than the it's kind of Farther away from I

don't really n yeah and there's like a lot of natural fat in your butt too true true I heard you have to work out a lot if you do get bbl's oh you got it needs it helps sustain the nice shape of it I I could be wrong only fat then it's probably going to start sagging or something yeah yeah sorry sorry to cut you off go ahead no even fillers like there's there's many people like where the filler shifts so like you got to fill it here on the Forehead but it'll like shift to

like the other side of the forehead or like got a filler like under your eye and then it comes down why do they get fillers under their eyes if it's too like Hollow if it's too they like for the under eye to be smooth so if it's if you have like a dark circles or if you have like dented then they put fillers in to smooth it out for Korea it's all about like how 3D how um struct like what do you say how Dimensional your face is your face has to be dimensional I got

that surgery oh yeah you got the did you get oh you got the chii oh my eyes below my eyes I used to have like when I lose weight there'd be a line here and it'd be like really bad and people would feel like I look super unhealthy or tired or tired because when I lose weight I always start losing weight by my fa my face first but um someone suggested to to get that Procedure so I tried it and the lines are gone M yeah it makes you look more lively yeah I side effects

yeah uh none yet I mean I get punched here a lot still and still okay I I I don't know which which one I got I don't know if I got the chi Chichi is the one you what like you fat okay yeah I think I got yeah I think I got the same thing because I had a really big problem with like cuz I'm just con constantly looking at the Screen all night sound like I'm like some why don't you what are you watching all night addict or I'm Not Like a Porn addict I'm

just like working on a song but yeah and then I would every time I feel great I feel really good healthy I meet someone like why do you look so tired I got it for ages I like 2 3 years I'm like what is it what is it and then um yeah I was just told it's just the bags under my eyes like I developed it and especially you you develop it when You uh lose a significant amount of fat you weight it's like okay what should we do and then I think I got that

now it's gone so it feels much better but you look hella young like you look young he is Young I mean you yeah you are pretty young 28 but you look like 23 24 really that young but you guys man let him talk let the man talk what about me you 20 21 bro 21 okay we got each other nice yeah dude with your scene [Music] here at least in the west there's representation there's like so many different kinds of styles kinds of people body types in the industry like there are so many singers of

different body shapes and in but in Korea there's not a lot um be on camera yeah so I think representation is so important cuz when I grew up in the US the only Asian figure I saw on TV was Lucy Lou like she Was the only Asian person for me right cuz everyone else was was like parison Lindsay Lohan or like Hillary Dove and um so I don't know it was it was nice seeing another Asian on TV I mean we didn't look exactly alike and that's why when I came to Korea I was like

oh my God it's so different here cuz in Korea they like the big eyes like double eyelid but I was used to seeing like Lucy Lum monolids and Etc yo I went to a Event where Lucy Lou um had a speech and it was like an event for um people of Asian Asian descent in the states kind of like celebrating the fact that yeah Asian Asian culture AI yeah we're celebrating that and she was kind of like like you said one of the first people to be in Hollywood as an as yeah she started crying

on stage W because of how beautiful it looked to see so so many Asians like making moves in the States now so beautiful yeah and she Still look good too oh my God she's so beautiful Lucy I love you and like when I go back to the States I feel like I don't care as much as about my appearance as I do in Korea like I could walk around D dressed crappy like not even my hair and makeup done and I wouldn't feel insecure but here I do it's cuz we live in Soul we live

in a city packed of you know you know I feel like there is a good thing that comes out of Korean beauty standards it gives You tough skin it does give you tough skin mhm cuz I remember when I first was told to like lose weight or they like I've been told I don't know how you made it in the company because of the way I looked I've been told that before I was like man this guy so your motivation to lose weight was out of kind of like contempt like like I'm going to show

you um just like that somewhat somewhat I mean like it was I'm going to show show you I'm going to show watch I'm going to get you watch I'll lose that weight partly yeah I think it was it was out of like is resentment the right right word no resent just kind of you want to prove yourself I'm going to show you well it's a source of motivation yeah I wanted to prove myself I wanted to fit into the standard because you know at the end of the day it's the It is the industry I

was trying to you know be a part of so um so were you chubby when you just got to kry up I was definitely not like K-pop Idol standard I was always big I was always big but um there was a time huh was it hard to lose weight uh yeah it was pretty tough and it was one of your like go-to for like methods of losing I would starve bro what I would I would starve myself I remember I had a month where I was eating one slab of chicken breast a Day mhm but

my face then was just like bro I looked like 5 years older I looked mad unhealthy I felt like um my body looked okay though my body looked nice I'm not going to lie but it just didn't feel good no I remember I ran into you at the convenience store like before you debuted so around that time yeah yeah and he was inside the convenience store looking bre eating chicken breast I was just like what okay it's Trainy life you look like your life sucks it did he was like I'm going to show you show

you it was that stage but but you know how like makeup style is really different in Korea versus Western um what kind of makeup style do you like better do you like the more like de are on myself no no no on a girl on a girl yeah like cuer makeup tends to be is more natural looking yeah but it's ironic because we cake up more yeah we But I think Korean right now it's kind of changing korean's kind of going to that or maybe just the Western is absorbing more of the Korean like makeup

style I don't know which way but it's becoming a little more similar it used to be very definitive yeah now it's becoming a little similar no it used to be wild like I mean because of the Tik Tok trends like clean girl makeup and demure makeup which is more subtle cuz western style is known to have like Really strong bronzers to make your cheekbones pop and like more colors they're they're a little more bold with uh the makeup but because like there's Haley Bieber doing like clean girl makeup and like deure makeup and these makeup

trends coming out and also K Beauty is huge so I think like on Tik Tok on social media a lot of um people in the west are doing like Korean style makeup I prefer that de Mo or whatever the can you explain deor makeup no it's A trend did you watch the I watched the video but I just don't know what de means cute are you not on Tik Tok no I don't I don't I've been seeing it everywhere I just like what do I have to do to fit into the mirror is what I

want to know it's basically like see how I'm drinking my water very very mindful very cutesy got it up I don't I don't so confused he's like what the that please don't cut that part so CH like you're just you know you're like You're like right okay got it what the what the I don't like the M what the hell let me try let me try what's up with the hands bro is this the mure like everything you have to do this slowly no no it's you could do it for anything feel like uh it's

like proper yes like you know you're chill like you're stand Standing you're standing on the right side of the escalator going down UK British terms like Posh Posh POS I feel like it could be synonymous with elegant elegant Elegance you you looked elegant when you were expl explaining demure check out the Tik Tok video fake whoa anyways well is this a earthquake what no that's my leg shaking okay sorry BR scared out of me bro I've never felt earthquake in my life really never felt it before I I was like this a small [Music] one

okay um nail polish what about it Guys are wearing polish I see a lot of um ball NBA players like the new rookies were nail polish a fashion thing yeah just kind of like no I think I think nail polish is sick punk rock people have always been doing it but that was just that Niche right but now it's becoming a very it's like a fashion thing now a lot of the Boomer dudes will like it you know what I mean you like I don't I don't give a but Like you know dudes who are

like yeah masculine masculine why you like wearing nail polish on your fingers no like they like guys now yeah that's what they'll say that's what they say have you done it nail polish I think I've done it when I was like a baby my my my cousins would put it on I've done it for or concept photo shoot or concept I think I've oh no no I don't think I've ever done it for a photo shoot or concept I be I Don't care why why haven't you done it yet why they never gave me the

D idea why [Music] there's other things to worry about if you're sensitive guys sens but I don't think it's like all my friends too if I have the right friends or not but nail polish I I don't think it's like a it's okay it's okay go ahead go ahead I'm sorry go ahead please I don't think the nail Polish do that no I already showed you a long we don't have that much time left so it's not like a common fashion trend I feel like it's more prevailing in like celebrities or musicians or like influencers

like yeah you won't see like you wouldn't see Joe like doing it yeah but my hands get really dry so like I wanted to do the uh like the moisture yeah I wanted to try that just do that cuz it like my skin peels off so much no but I feel Like you could rock some nail polish cuz you got like the TS and everything yeah you got like the one double let's see what my good friend uh BM over here thinks about that you're perverted showing cleavage is often no D what do you thinking

nail I you were asking for pictur or something just now what the hell why not I like it when there's like one just like one you know it's like like that kanji with one and then if you put a ring on that finger oh that's I Like getting my nails done let's talk about fashion um because Western fashion and Korean fashion are very different yo but I see a lot of I'm I'm sorry okay yes a lot of Koreans are taking the the western style more how in terms of clothing they what style kind of

but not really really not not really dudes like what style dudes kind of just rock like the tight fitting like muscle fits now the days no and like girls show more like cleavage more they don't care what Are you looking at I don't know like hey you know what's interesting outside I don't know you know what's interesting for me I feel like when when girls wear clothes that show more cleavage in America as opposed to Korea it's so much less like sexual in America in America do you feel that too it feels intentional for the

sake of Attraction more in Korea whereas in America it just feels like this is what I wanted to put on today yeah America it's like this is Comfortable so I'm we it very true granted there are times in America where it does feel like it's intended for you know attraction to look better yeah but it's like this you know in America like I would I could walk around without a bra like I don't really care about nipple showing it's just it's just a it's just a part of my body right and I think a lot

of people in the west understand that like but then in Korea it's like the nipples are out oh my God Right so boobs it kind of the puzzle kind of matches because in Korea it's kind of frowned upon and people look at it like why you dress like that why are you so like it's like sexual thing right right it feels like if does it it's like it's try to trying to be this it is intentional then somewhat um I don't know what it's like for like nowadays people but it makes sense because culturally mhm

it's looked down upon but like if you decide to show a little bit More it's like you you know you're going to get them eyes when you come out the come out the door you know what I mean okay you know you're going to get it whether it be negative or positive you know you're going to get it but com what if they just wanted to be comfortable you know what I mean but then it looks bad because of the Korean like standard it just sucks man like who cares I feel like you'll feel that

though yeah oh yeah you know by the vibe Of the person and whatnot I feel like that's definitely felt mhm yeah it's it's the vibe that they give off yeah I see so many like influencer looking people out in the soul especially Kung influencers cuz everybody is probably an influencer like one out of five is probably an influencer right on on Instagram what do you guys think about valuing self-promotion as opposed to recognition of others the does that mean so what does This he wrote it on the screen regarding fashion all that mean stat like

their status yeah Kore really care about that I feel like Korea definitely has that a lot more than America you'll see a lot of people in America just walking around in sweats and whatever like you won't know they're rich but then they pull up in like a Rolls-Royce or something something like oh oh I kind of always I kind kind of always imagine Korea as uh Like let's say a city very highly populated like La yeah just stretched into a country M so it's that that sort of that like let's say like a like a

neighborhood of people that are very well off and you know wear all these things it's become into stretched into a country so it's so saturated everyone wants to be that even if they can't do it they push to be that and I think it just comes from the the the mentality of I got to be better than the next person Yeah it's all status comparison yeah it's like mentally there in people most of them like if they're rich like it shows that they're rich yeah like they'll be wearing like yeah like designer head to toe

like you know like their wrists like shiny as [ __ ] and stuff but then in America like you won't know like some sometimes like half of the people you meet you don't know but then they live in mansions and have like 10 cars and Stuff it's more low key yeah yeah yeah Korea definitely likes to show it more yeah and yes k i I mean it's it's a little better now cuz I used to get a lot of crap before too for just wearing sweats all the time MH but nowadays it's okay who cares

if you wear sweats like thanks thanks to like uh I think suan CA I think it got a little better oh yeah comtable I think it got a little better after that yeah it's I think it's cuz in The west like people are people don't care about what other people think of them they're just like it's a very um individualistic place right but in Korea we have something called duni where we have to see like does this person approve of my outfit like what are they thinking of my outfit so we can't really go out

all out and just the way we want because we're kind of scared of getting judged yeah I'm talking about cars again but did you know uh Koreans they only Drive like a lot of people would get the neutral colors yeah oh yeah if they're being if let's say they're buying a very luxurious car MH excuse me and the color would always be white or black or gray but then the interior would go crazy but it's the opposite way in the states they would try something very flashy because they're proud of what they purchased but then

the interior they they want they're seeing it every day so they want it kind of neutral so It's complete different like different products man interesting that's an interesting but I heard that if your color if the car's color is too flashy it's easier for you to get tickets cuz the police can spot you so well yeah I mean if you're driving recklessly yeah but but I think people I heard that too but Rainbow Car you have a point that because they care about like oh I don't I don't like It when someone notices that I'm

here yeah oh which is crazy it's like oh that car and that model is in a green oh it must be I don't like it when people notice that I'm here but I'm a rock up in all designer exactly it's so contradicting man yes it's there's a lot of pressure to live in Korea yeah you know there's cities where they have more of that and less of that I feel like E1 there's a lot less there's a lot more foreigners yeah a lot more foreigners Hung is kind of more young so and they kind of

respect your own style like individual style but kangnam is kind of like kangnam everyone's just the same yeah like they look the same too yeah all monochromatic just like you know regular like linen pants like white Shir they're all wearing like slacks yeah and these days a lot of like the younger people in K them it's like slacks with the tucked in T-shirt oh hell yeah like it's just like and the and the Ang Glasses and the hair it's like always like parted parted yeah is it kind of long or parted or you still do

like the the I don't know what called in English is it called a pom P or like that the Kover I think that's called com over is it aover oh no not that where it's like the the 8 to2 like ratio and no those are called com overs too oh is it yeah the com overs or like I don't know they they all dress the same like you'll be walking around in Rodeo it's like hey I Just saw wait hey I did wait hold on yo when I first came to Korea I thought I was

living in like I Robot have you guys seen that yeah because like a lot of the girls just like it looked like they were getting plastic surgery from the same person proba it's probably worse now when you first came maybe yeah when I first came when when plastic surgery was a little bit underdeveloped I feel like now they Tred to give you plastic surgery to like according to your face No the Cosmetic Surgery everyone looks the same oh okay I I think probably because they maybe bring a celebrity's picture to the doctor and they're like

I want my nose to look like hers I want my eyes to look like hers so there's more doctors that are like no you can't be this realistic like this is better for [Music] you guys guess girl products so you guys you three will be guessing products that girls use and you got to describe how or When you use this product okay let's get it I'll probably butcher this one what the hell is that isn't it called a loop no UV or something VI I think uvi looks dangerous sure what you think it's used for

I feel like it's used to what Pineo said mhm to stop periods no no stop pregnancy stop pregnancy yeah I mean as a side side effect some people do stop right yeah um it's a uvi or something like stop pregnany I don't know what it's called does ivu i i IU Okay something like that it's a type of birth control so how does it like goes where the like the canal to where the egg is supposed to be and it so it's in there all the time the sper from getting it hurts it does I

what the [ __ ] happened did a seen just like swim so hard that it just swm past maybe it was ripped so is that the 2% situations I don't know or maybe they put it on After you know cuz there's still precom like no that no with every that's why it drops down to like 70 or like 60% but the I think he's talking about like even if you did it perfectly why is it there why is there the 2% there I don't know like see through the latex or something I don't know wa
