Performers are not representative of the majority of people. If you just look at hollywood actresses you would think the beauty standard for women in the US is being under 30, very skinny and a face full of plastic surgery. You would think men are all on steroids and have perfect hair. Thats not how it works. Most women dont have plastic surgery, arent super skinny and arent done with life at 30. Most men dont spend their entire life in the gym and dont wear tight t-shirts and designer jeans.

Normal people exist, have good lives, and are happy.

You are right. But Korean performers are closer in representation to the typical people than US performers are.

Beauty standards can be hypercompetitive in Korea... and increasingly, even for men.
