#Pube stache free
The standard of beauty for Korean is a clean complexion, moisturized skin, and free of wrinkles.
One walk around the streets of Seoul will prove just how clean shaven, smooth and youthful Seoulites are. Here, men seem to be allergic to any semblance of body hair. I’m talking about prepubescent prickly strands that resemble a dead rat’s coffin at its funeral. Not the soft, shiny, fluffy pubes, either. At the end of two weeks of no shaving, my face looks as if it’s been replaced by actual pubic hairs. While 30 days come and go, with the American population of guys flaunting their scruffy ‘staches and bushy beards all over social media, 99% of East Asian guys like me wait on the sidelines and awkwardly wait, hoping and praying for our upper lip fur to sprout (spoiler alert: it doesn’t.)Īs a Korean American, I actually have the capacity of growing more facial hair than the average East Asian dude. SEE ALSO: I’m an Asian American male and I have major beard envy Then there’s Movember, an organization started in Australia, which promotes prostate cancer awareness. There’s No Shave November, which encourages men to grow hair for American Cancer Society. How they’re related, we don’t really know. It’s a month called November, that is, 30 days out of the year where men are encouraged to grow out their facial hair for a good cause. There’s an entire month out of the year where East Asian men are forced to confront their own Asianness.
