Suggestions on "Medicalization of Korean Beauty in Pop Culture"

Hello!

Thank you for sharing. I found your topic really interesting as I used to be a fan of Kpop idols, and back then, it really made me question if "thinness" and "white skin" are the standards of beauty. Your contribution includes an appropriate amount of detail, as you describe and explain three main "beauty standards" in the Hallyu culture. You have also cited five sources, but I would suggest including the source of your argument to strengthen them, for example, the argument of skin whitening as "a reinforcement of the aesthetic of white supremacy". Moreover, I would suggest including visuals to enable readers to better understand the beauty that the culture embraces, and it would also be interesting if you can explore the changes in Korean beauty standards as the pop culture evolves, or how foreigners in the Korean entertainment industry are affected by these "beauty standards".
