I Investigated The Country Where it's Illegal To Be Fat

being Indian brown girl with not so symmetric facial features & kinda overweight for them 🥲🥲.....i can't even imagine my self in Korean!! like they are way too much obsessed with unrealistic beauty standards..... i'm happy the way i'm!! its not like i don't do makeup or something but do it with my choice not because of any external pressure or toxic beauty standards🥲🥀🤧

I lived in South Korea for three years and had a great experience. I felt the food and portions were much healthier than here in the US using traditional herbs and occasional fasting to cleanse the body. I think they were more in tune.

No todos pero los hombres Coreanos parecen mujeres. Muy bonitos pero para mí mejor un hombre masculino.

In a country where you're demonized, not just for being fat, but for hardly taking in _any_ calories, how on _earth_ does anyone _literally function?!_

Todos concordam que alguém deveria criar uma política pública para destruir isso? 😊 É um absurdo que um espaço perfeito para uma gangorra ou um balanço seja ocupado por esses infames medidores de quilo. Precisamos de iniciativas práticas que estimulem o desenvolvimento saudável da criança, ajudando-a a ganhar confiança e a entender seus próprios limites. Cair e ralar o joelho faz parte da infância; pesado é expor o público infantil a essa cultura de cobrança estética ao ar livre.

My ex girlfriend was from south korea. We did go to the gym, eat a lot and healthy food. She gained some weight and guess what? While talking to her parents and friends via face time they called her fatty oder pig. So sad...

What is the use of trying to achieve any goal, when the most important qualification is your looks.

That stupid bamboo measuring things pisses me off. I was born with a large chest. No amount of dieting will ever make me fit through the ones that are considered "acceptable"

After spending two years paying off all my debt, I'm now in a position to put away £16660 a month. So the plan is £6660 in an emergency fund and invest the remaining £10k.

27:44 calling him obese is just INSANE!

It's so cool that everyone is so fluent in English. I wish we had fluency in more than 1 language in America.

The end / doctor bit is the perfect example why BMI is a bad way to judge people’s weight.

This is so depressing.

In other words, being fat in Korea is rebellious and original.

I couldn't agree more "i don't see motivation, i just see pressure" nailed it

Then again their beauty standards aren’t just about weight. It’s about skin color, social status, proportions, body hair and so much more Even in schools people carry makeup pouches and you get bullied if you’re average looking or “ugly”

"don't be fat, ugly or poor." - 99% of the world population

Zero sugar,, but full of chemicals

Send me there for a month I'll be ready for summer 😂

Thanks for posting this. I’m originally from South Korea and now work as a psychologist in Australia, treating eating disorders. I also train psychologists in Korea and often talk about those poles in parks with signs implying that if you can’t fit through them, you shouldn’t be that size. I saw one myself a few years ago while visiting family and was shocked that such a fat-phobic message was being promoted publicly. Fat phobia exists everywhere, but South Korea’s intense social pressure, media messaging, and beauty standards can contribute significantly to disordered eating and eating disorders. Public awareness is so important, so thank you for sharing this video. I hope more people learn to question these harmful messages and recognise how damaging they can be.
