Isn't Korea a first world country? Aren't Korean's typically well-off? Why do they patronize fakes?

>>15748213
yes, the koreans here follow trends from back home closer than any other ethnicity. they all dress exactly the same, but the uniform changes from year to year.

>>15748213
culture that adopted physiognomy early, attractive people are only ones that are seen by the western socialmedia storm... leads to fetishization of asians and so much more!

>>15748345
They're still just another flavor of gook that won't spend good money on clothes that can be made for nothing in a sweatshop.

>>15748345
I'm not Asian but I've read quite a bit about lego vs chinese counterfeits and from what I could understand Asians don't care if something is fake as long as it's well made.

Buying fakes is not the best cause to support local business because work conditions might not be the most ethical.

This is definitive proof that Asians are more intelligent

> lego vs chinese counterfeits and from what I could understand Asians don't care if something is fake as long as it's well made.

Bad example. Lepin and the other clones are AWFUL. No clutch power whatsoever. You're better off buying Megabloks. I buy bulk LEGO from the thrift store and ebay often. When I receive it I wash and sterilize before tossing away any fake brick that's snuck in there. There's quality chinese clones out there - LEGO itself moved some production there - but there's still an appreciable difference in quality with cases like the latter.

Maybe for our modern culture of hyper disposable hyper consumerist goods there's some validity towards this approach in fashion but I prefer to buy quality if I have to spend money. If I want a deal I find it second hand - if it's quality then it wears well and lasts. Someone has taken care to preserve it because it has value. Only consumables, technology goods (where processing power, compatibility and software performance is relevant) and underwear are things you should be buy new exclusively.

>>15749103
This.

Knockoff Legos are trash, megabloks have gotten a bit better tho

>>15748964
its not like "authentic" American brands don't use sweatshops in Bangladesh anyway? i wasn't really talking about small businesses but those are pretty cool i guess. i was thinking "authentic" as in branded.

They are a cope culture of unrealistic beauty standards & vast amounts of materialism. K-Pop & Fashion (which are both pushed & created by corporations) is their “culture” now. Women there are injected with plastic at a young age. Nearly all of their existence as a country has been plagued by war & slavery by the Japanese. Even after their liberation from the Japanese in WWII, they are still torn apart & under constant threat from N Korea & China. They use K-Pop & fashion to cope with nuclear threat & their shitty past similar to how the American 1950’s were.

>>15748213
They have no actual sense of style and just copy whatever is shown on TV the most.

Because you then saw it on TV you're conditioned to think it's stylish, and then you look at an entire culture of braindead copycatting and spout "effay omg" without a modicum of critical though and clap like a retarded seal.

It's your Asian fetish and their rampant consumerism anon

Just came back from south korea, this is the winter outfit:

>Top
White sweatshirt or gray hoodie
>Outerwear
Black overcoat, beige fur coat, padded jacket or vest
>pants
Black slacks, length is variable some go down to shoes some go up to ankles
>shoes
white shoes or converse

koreans are lucky, westerners have to think a little hard about how they can look good, but the average korean can just copy whatever they see on street or tv shoes and it will look good

did you really try to get a korean haircut

>>15752048
yeah, im mestizo hispanic too
i learned how to speak korean, watched a metric shitton of korean youtube hairstyle videos, fashion channels, spent a shitton of money shopping in myeongdong, hongdae, gangnam, only hung out with koreans etc etc
i thought i could get more handsome by doing it

the only thing i forgot was that in korean culture if you have brown skin u are fucked from the start lol

>>15749465

People can share beliefs who would of thought. Fucking retard.

>Everything about this Anon's tone just screams first year college student

This is a tired trope and not true by any stretch of the imagination. i never went to college, worked manual jobs all my life, i know the conditions in which people work and how bad society can be, not all left wingers are college/university types.

>>15752024
>>15752048
how would the two block haircut look on a white person?
I've never seen a white person rocking it before but I kind of want to try it.

>>15752093
depends on the style
main reason two block is useful is because there's a ton of different styles you could do with it

what's your face/hair like?
a straight up 댄디 cut like the one in your pic looks kinda weird on most white people, but most could probably pull a 가르마 or 가일 which uses the same haircut
>pic related is 가르마

>>15752093
it makes you look like a fag

>>15752093
>>15752107
additionally, the main reason koreans get a two block is because they really hate to stand out

bullying is really really common in korean schools and most kids want to just put their head down and blend in so they don't get picked on, in korean culture standing out is not good, two block isn't just an aesthetic choice, so ponder that too

>>15752081
I've never met a single Korean that willingly hangs out in Myeongdong, did you live there 25 years ago?

>>15748213
because you're only seeing the rich ones

>>15752126
i just went there when i didn't know shit about shopping in korea lol

obviously the best places to shop are either hongdae or the various stores/boutiques scattered across seoul, or just buying them online

because "looking good" is the main pasttime there. extremely shallow culture. no good art/artists, no one has actual hobbies -- people pour everything into peacocking for others

>>15752115
i havent seen enough media about what bullying is like in korea?

could you elaborate

>>15748213
many/most koreans take care of their skin and hair and pay attention to trends. the global push of the typical korean beauty standard that kpop and dramas has been a part of also makes you think the look is cool now. plus youre likely only really remember korean people online and irl who stand out in a good way and fit the mold of the effay korean you have in your head. im korean myself and live somewhere with a large korean community and by no means are most of us actually effay.

>>15752341
>im korean myself and live somewhere with a large korean community and by no means are most of us actually effay.
by american standards definitely lol, the bar is really low here so koreans look really put together by default
that is until you go to korea and see that it's basically just a hivemind, but whatever lol

>>15752524
yeah i see what you mean. i live in pal park which has a huge korena population and its pretty easy to stand out as a good looking guy since most are so average so i just think most of us are not effay at all

Just take a walk on 32nd st ktown nyc. All the chinks come and flex their fake LV, Gucci, goyard, supreme. The cringiest I’ve seen is this chink couple matching Mickey Mouse Gucci dad shoes lmfao. They cower from the sun because they want to be white so badly. They ironically want to look white and yet still maintain their gooky asthetic

>>15753608
The desire to be pale has nothing to do with western whiteness. Thanks for displaying your idiocy and Euro-centrism. Asians historically and presently desire pale complexions as it implies they have no need to work outside, further implying wealth and status.

Asia's always been a huge target for this. Read anyone's opinion on "Japanese Culture" and they'll write entire essays on what some asshole on a tourist visa decided on during their spring break and told them once.

The desire for light skin was hundreds, if not thousands of years before chinks even knew what a white person was. White people naturally having light skin contributes to why some chinks obsess over white, the chinks don't desire light skin BECAUSE of whites

Asians can do it because they have copious amounts of hair.

It just looks wispy and bad when done by most whites because they just simply dont have enough hair.

Chinky people, especially the korean gooks just want to look like white people. They get plastic surgery to look like white people -double eyelid surgery/blepharoplasty, and rhinoplasty to get a more European nose. Gooks like to wear sunblock and bleach their skin as well like the niggers. Everyone just wants to be white because white people r superior. Anyone saying otherwise is just cope lmao

Seoul is cool, but I have to admit that it's kinda mediocre compared to other big asian capitals.

Forbidden City is miles more impressive than Gyeongbokgung or Changdeokgung
Shanghai is way cooler than Gangnam or Myeongdong
and everything else tokyo does better

if you are really into like korean fashion, makeup, food or movies then seoul is worth it, especially if you have good friends there, but if you aren't particularly interested in korea itself then maybe not

>>15748213

I’m so tired of this shit perpetuated over and over. There’s a difference in quality and long lasting.

Just stop with it.
