Article: Ministry of Gender Equality and Family's guideline for broadcast companies under controversy "too many similar faces"

The Ministry criticized the issue of TV shows, children's animations, TV ads, and music shows only featuring one specific type of female face (thin shape, big eyes, light skin) instead of a bigger variety of looks. The guideline states: "most of the idol groups on music shows share a similar look that is severely geared towards a specific type. Most idols have thin bodies, white skin, similar hair styles, and outfits that show their bodies off. This can be seen in both male and female groups. It's recommended that TV shows not feature one type of look in an excessive proportion." 

1. [+351, -9] I really don't see the point in this ministry

2. [+322, -9] The only solution is to disband this ministry

3. [+281, -9] The stupidest thing I've ever heard

4. [+203, -9] How are you taking our tax money and spending it on something stupid like this

5. [+175, -7] They're taking our tax money to basically be spokespeople for feminazis

6. [+148, -5] Upvote to get rid of the ministry

7. [+122, -5] At this point, the ministry would be more productive not doing any work at all

8. [+73, -1] It's all the fatties watching TV, they just don't want to watch skinny and pretty girls on the screen. The ministry is basically demanding that half of girl groups have members that weigh over 80 kg.

9. [+49, -1] Aren't they basically acknowledging that there's a "better" type of look? They don't like that TV only shows pretty girls so they're forcing them to mix in a few uglies too.

10. [+40, -3] Wait, is this North Korea?

1. [+230, -44] This is not China, stop this at once

2. [+175, -15] I'm voting for whoever gets rid of this ministry next

3. [+48, -9] Seems like someone in the ministry has a complex about their looks

4. [+26, -13] But have you guys seen the chodings copying all the sexy dances by girl groups? Why is the only girl group concept sexy or cute? There aren't any fresh looks like Crayon Pop anymore and if they all disappear soon anyway. The rest are all similar concepts.

5. [+35, -27] I agree that everyone on TV is thin, light skinned, with the same make up style everywhere, like dolls punched out of a factory. The entertainment industry is definitely pushing a certain type of look. In England, they banned plastic surgery ads because it's a negative influence on the youth and we need to learn from them too.

Love Yourself is the revolution.

It's not feminazi thing.

It's question of self esteem and self aceptation.

[literally tilted]

There's a lot of different ways to approach this issue but this is kinda hmm...

[Gifted]

:D

[lovery]

Maybe I'm out of line here but I'm not really used to seeing so many comments from men in their 40's... I wonder why that's the main demographic here...

K Men are angry because feminazi is changing the k beauty stereotype.

[olivefoss]

god forbid that we have a young girl that doesn't fit the beauty standard grow up to have any self esteem 

 

having to see the same pretty face everywhere can do a lot of harm 

 

 

 

edited, didnt fkn make any sense

What a goon.

They recommend basically showing more than one body type and this bro makes a leap saying this is basically a dictatorship

Cant imagine having my head that submerged in shit

[GirlBye]

40 yr old men please stfu

[ARii]

the comments under this article is sad

 

saying that they want to put " ugly people" when what they are actually saying is about

 

encouraging more "diversity" in the media but they saw that as "ugliness" 

 

 which kinda prove that there is an issue with an obsession over a "one type of beauty" and thats not healthy 

[puellarum generatio]

it's only a recomendation and it's a sensible one, although not from a business perspective

[YuMing]

lmfao the demographics

 

it was literally just a suggestion

[IKKY]

They seriously do need diversity tho. When everyone looks the same, nobody stands out. How is allowing more variety of people to take up significant roles in entertainment in anyway similar to a dictatorship. Bunch of old farts who are afraid of change.

[snuggled]

I think that with the extreme lookism in SK this would not be a bad idea.

[mochichan]

No one care about your old ass ahjusshis

 

Anyway I get what they're trying to do. Korea's lookism and surgery obsession is bc of the way they limit themselves to just one specific standard of beauty that can cause insecurity. But like....this ain't the way to fix it bc this is too simple to change mindset that is already ingrained in the whole society

[EXOSUS]

If Korea drops the skinny body, white skin look then what's the point of stanning Kpop?

[Wendii]

Lol

[Elscian]

I love that idea tho

[HoMaLiAk]

I- 

knetz confuses me sometimes....

[kimchi-nyoen]

I agree with my korean bros

[ShawolSONEexo]

[tatachimmy3579]

i guess this would reduce the number of tourists coming into korea expecting to see idol/actor-visuals everywhere
