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.

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.
