What’s The Ideal Weight For Korean Girls?

I don’t understand how a culture that loves to eat food as a social bond has weird weight standards

I'm surprised that most of interviewee weigh less than 51kg.

Homegirl that mentioned Toronto is very attractive. She's more attractive than like 99% of native Korean women I've seen. It's insane to me she would be considered on the chubby side and not automatically be looked at as super hot over there. But it seems in Korea they have a very rigid beauty standard combined with a high pressure to conform.

So, basically in Korea, having anorexia is considered a goal?! That is horrible!

My friend weight 95lbs but she is 150cm she looks very skinny maybe the height is the main key here. I can never go below 115lbs(118lbs, 5.4ft =165cm) I would get tired easily and couldn’t do my job properly.

In times of famine, being fat or bigger will be the new beauty. Typically that’s how it’s been in tough times.

I'm 159cm and with regular activity I'm inbetween 47-8kg, to maintain 46kg I'd have to run 20km daily. How is that girl maintaining 42-3kg is beyond me.

Im short at chubby 😅 i should weigth 45-50 kg based on my heigth but im 15-20 kg more 😅😅and i was an athlete i gained this weigth after

I'd look anorexic if I went by those standards. I have strong bones, so when I lose weight you can see it on me pretty quickly. At 58 kg I already look very skinny in the face and body. I cant imagine what I would look like at 50 kg ... or worse 40 kg ... probably just bones and skin. Maybe it works for Korean people because they're built differently. I have strong, sharp bones, I'd look like a skeleton.

What about 25 kg? Just to be blown up by wind. That would be a "real beauty standard". This is insane.

Being slim, pale, plastic surgery being the norm…I would’ve hated to be a teenager or child in Korea.

At 56kg and covered in tattoo's, i would be doomed in Korea 😅😅!!

50kg chubby ?!!!!!!!

no way they're calling the fit girl with muscles "fat". Korea is a doomed country

My bf is from korea and has never had to put effort into maintaining his weight. Hes coming to the gym with me this weekend, and im thoroughly looking forward to breaking his ass off. I work really hard for the body ive gotten. Im about 163 cm (5'4) and 60 kg (132.8 lbs). Ive lost almost 60 pounds since april and ive worked my ass off to get here. If my bf ever told me to be skinnier or put more effort in, id just tell him that he has no room to talk until he is willing to do the same. Its not necessarily about weight. Its about lifestyle.

so many clips are repeating in this video

50 is underweight for a young woman (20ies)where I am from❤️🐤

My daughter is 5.5 and she is 34 kg she is 15. We are in the U.K. she is considered underweight. She does eat but is very fussy and she doesn’t eat junk food.

There is nothing called 'beauty standard'. Beauty comes in all shapes and sizes. And colours.

No one's talking about bone structure. It's a huge factor when determining healthy weight range. To illustrate just how much, my friend is shorter than me but with thicker bones. If she weighed what I weigh she'd be severely underweight, whereas I certainly am not too skinny. The same weight looks different on different people, even if they are the same height, because bones can physically take up more or less space. Asians typically have a smaller bone structure than Westerners, as well as being shorter on average. With this in mind, 40-50 kg for a smalled boned female is fine

I love the first girl. Meghan the stallion 😅 most of them have vain self esteem. Beauty standards

I'm 184 cm, I would be 45 kg in my coffin probably

No way...I'm 157 cm and 71 kg and I'm sexy......and the girl said what? 42-43 kg? They are crazy....once I was 51 kg and I looked like a skeleton....and they say 45 kg max.....that's distrophia....

Broooo the weight in Korea scares me…. Like am naturally petite and short at 5’1 and am like 115 lbs 😢😢 88-92 lbs is crazy…. Guess I would be chubby in Korea wtf. I feel like 130 lbs in the US is a normal weight for most women

i'm 5'10 and the thought of being in the 40s or even 50s kg range is such a foreign thought to me! I've been from about 69-71 my whole life, and I'm a very healthy weight right now, many people I know even call me skinny!

Your weight should not depend on social standards, it depends on your height, age, heredity, bone structure and other health factors, etc. Everyone is different and what matters is that you are and feel healthy!
I weigh around 99 pounds (45 kilos) but my height is around 4"11 (1.50 m) According to my nutritionist I am perfectly healthy (Yes, I could still put on a little more weight, but it all depends if I feel healthy with it, because I'm a very short person, with a very small bone structure )
Literally I come from a family of "hobbits", very skinny and small! So you can say I'm naturally skinny! But people always tell me that I'm tooo skinny, that I should should eat more cake or McDonald's, but obviously those people don't know about health or healthy food and that's why people have to educate themselves more about food and health and self-esteem, so they don't fall for these kind of crazy standards. The truth is that in the end being overweight or underweight is unhealthy and we should all strive to be healthy, (physically and mentally) not for beauty or society's standards but for our bodies, so that we can live a longer and healthier life!
Let's honor our bodies more and appreciate the work it does to keep us alive!🤍

Su peso no debe depender de los estándares sociales, depende de su altura, edad, herencia, estructura ósea y otros factores de salud, etc. ¡Todo el mundo es diferente y lo que importa es que usted esté y se sienta saludable!
Peso alrededor de 99 libras (45 kilos) pero mi altura es de alrededor de 4"11 (1.50 m) Según mi nutricionista estoy perfectamente saludable (Sí, aún podría engordar un poco más, pero todo depende si me siento saludable con eso, ya que soy una persona muy bajita, con una estructura ósea muy pequeña) vengo de una familia de hobbits literalmente, ¡muy delgados y pequeños! ¡Así que puedes decir que soy naturalmente delgada! Pero la gente siempre me esta recalcando que soy demaciadooo delgado , y que deberia comer mas pastel o mcdonalds, pero obviamente esa gente no sabe de salud ni de comida sana y por eso la gente tiene que educarse mas en temas de alimentacion y salud y autoestima, para no caer en este tipo de estándares locos. La verdad es que al final tener sobrepeso o bajo peso no es saludable y todos debemos esforzarnos por estar saludables, no por la belleza o los estándares de la sociedad sino por nuestros cuerpos, para que podamos vivir una vida más larga y saludable. !
Honrremos mas a nuestros cuerpos y apreciamos el trabajo que hace para mantenernos vivos!🤍

If I weighted 45 kg with 170 heigh I'd probably d..ie.

Great interviewing skills. 👍👍

50 kg is literally so little for an adult.. whaaat😳 I know Asian woman are often smaller in height (and men too) but still 50kg is not much and absolutely shouldn’t be considered chubby - they raise generations of girls with eating disorders

the woman saying she gets told to loose some weight.. she was literally normal🙁 quite gross that men tell them this .. like do they want skeletons??

for me personally if my bmi says im healthy then im good

Im 165cm/52kgs. I looked fat when I was 60 kgs to be honest. Now I look SO MUCH better. :)

я вешу 40кг при росте 160, это мой обычный вес без диет. я родилась худой / I weigh 40kg with a height of 160, this is my usual weight without dieting. I was born thin.

In my country, when you weigh 40kg, you're locked up in mental hospital for anorexia

I wonder if they ever look at someone thinks she looks skinny but then when they find out her weight they think she not because it doesn’t meet the standard there. It’s weird that they don’t consider height. I’m trying to lose weight and my goal is to get back the weight when I started college. I would still would want to lose some weight after that but to which I’m not sure, it depends how it looks like. They should also consider bone density. I’m around 5’5 or 5’6 so my first goal go back to 120

There are literally studies on what the most attractive BMI is for women and the standard is indeed different from western compared to east asian countries

The standart in my country is the fucking worst. Aunties called my 46kg mom fat when she was TWENTY

I'm 172cm and weigh about 54-55kg and that's on the low end of healthy for me, and I'm shocked that that would be considered fat😀

They have some stainless implants under their faces. That might add extra weight.

A moça de cabelo vermelho disse tudo ! 🥰

I used to live in Korea and now that I live in North America, the beauty standards are very different!! in North America I am average weight, but if I was to go to Korea again, I think I would be considered chubby. Koreas beauty standards are really rough 😢

Why did u just interview a few women?

im 38kg 💀

Korean/Chinese/Japanese girls’ facial structures are not as prominent as western girls ( high nose , cheek bone etc ). Therefore, In my humble opinion, only when they are skinny , their facial features look more defined.
I m Chinese girl with flat nose, small eyes & square face . At UK size 10, my face is chubby 😢

they don't seem to comprehend that muscle weighs more than fat
