How would you describe the current beauty standards in Korea, and in what ways do you feel they influence everyday life or people’s self‑image? Do you think these standards are changing with younger generations or social media trends? If you’re comfortable, I’d love to hear any personal experiences or observations you’ve noticed in your community.

While I am not super up-to-date with things, I feel like there's not much options in terms of makeups for men. Coloured lip balm and sunscreen are pretty much basics, and maybe BB cream and concealers (I don't use these two). But I don't feel bad for not using them, so it doesn't have that much influence on me. I don't think this is that much of a recent change; it feels like it has been like that for a while.

I am looking into getting my hair longer and dyed, and coloured manicures nowadays though. Why the fuck not.

Hi! thank you so much for the response! Do you find that its abnormal to dye your hair and have brightly coloured manicures in your area?

Dyeing hair: Depends on the colour. Natural ones (brown) are common, but I don't see many outside of that. Long hair isn't common but anything that goes above your shoulders isn't something people would consider to be abnormal.

Bright coloured manicure: Yes, but I am weird. Girls seems to like it when I use clear ones, though.

What color would you want to dye your hair?

For now it's brown. I might redo the same thing but slightly brighter, though bleaching and getting something super bright isn't off the table.
