Said Lina Bae, who was one of those make-up how-to YouTube stars, quoted in a BBC article.
Bae is part of a growing movement of young women in South Korea who are challenging long-held beauty ideals. They call themselves the "escape the corset" movement. Many shave off their long hair and go without make-up then post the results on social media.

That's what makes kPop so great!
Oh wow, isn't that an original approach. Nobody ever pushed back against oppressive "beauty standards" (totally arbitrary and socially-constructed,dontcha know) by cutting off their hair and eschewing cosmetics and then crying "look at me, look at me!".
The brass at L'Oreal and Revlon must be shaking in their shorts.

Blah blah blah blah blah and posting on social media.

Maybe not "always," but it's similar to my decision to reject society's ideal of the wealthy, handsome male.

Doesn't matter, you can buy robotic 'hits' or 'followers' in bulk for a relatively low cost.
"There were even death threats saying that they will come find me and kill me."
Said Lina Bae, who was one of those make-up how-to YouTube stars, quoted in a BBC article.

Does anyone care if men "Let themselves go"?

Ms Bae might be attractive if she lost some weight.
The Lena Dunham of Korea.
I was stationed in Korea in the 80’s. I’m sure much has changed, but back then loose woman had long hair and proper ladies had a bob of sorts. A guy I worked with dated a “lady” whose brother-in-law chaperoned their dates. They ended up marrying.
