“In Singapore, I would be considered an average-sized girl. But in Korea, they probably think I’m, like, overweight. This is why I fully feel for those K-pop idols with, like, body image issues and stuff,” said Natalie Naploes
“Hi, so I just came back from Korea and I’m back in Singapore now, and I just want to talk about, like, my very real experience with the fatphobia and pretty privilege in Korea,” she said.standards but in Korea the beauty standard is, like, being a thin, pale, skinny woman. Because of the whole K-pop, like, culture in Korea, everybody’s very harsh on, like, looks and they expect you to be a certain size to fit in.
This remark, plus the fact that it had been said in English, made Ms Naploes wonder if the men were throwing shade at her as well.
