And Korea's modern look/economy hasn't been that long compared to others. From Japanese colonial rule to a civil war to military dictatorships all within the last century. There is a SHIT ton of whitening cream and stuff here that I have to avoid. For themselves, quite a lot of Koreans want to be lighter skin but you do have people that want to be darker. And non-white foreigners here will get complimented on their beauty too so it's not just a 'WHITE IS RIGHT" type of mentality. --- PoW '09 Topic of the Year Co-Winners (Rada and Texy) FFD <cite>Kastrada posted [p:900651812] in Okay what ...
