Read More »It’s 30 degrees outside in sunny Seoul, humidity is at a sweltering 80 per cent – and there are scores of people still walking around in long-sleeved shirts. Despite the lack of rain, groups of young women carry colourful umbrellas, shading themselves from the sun. The elderly are sporting extravagant visors on their heads, ensuring not an inch of sunlight reaches their faces. Every possible measure is being taken to avoid the sun, to avoid the risk of tanning. While most of the Western world have embraced the idea of bronzing their skin – a majority of South Koreans are utterly convinced that having fair, pale skin is the only way to look beautiful. Both historically and universally, having tan skin was once a telling factor in being of a lower class. Those with darkened skin had spent hours working outside under the sun, completing physical labour to earn their way. [pullquote align=”right”]“I think being whiter would make me look so much better.”[/pullquote]On the other hand, those with fair skin were those who could afford the luxury of not having to work outside, and as a result of their subsequent milky complexion – radiated wealth and status. When the nineteenth century rolled around, and with it the industrial revolution, the western world did a three-sixty: The lower class began to work inside factories, and as result of the lack of sunshine, developed pale complexions. Those with money started to travel abroad, returning home with darker, glowing complexions and a new-found admiration for golden skin tones. Pale skin was largely no longer favourable, nor in most cases particularly desirable. In the East, however, fair skin was – and remains still, a sign of wealth and beauty. The craze for pale skin in South Korea specifically has become somewhat of an obsession, with a large percentage of the population even turning to skin whitening products and procedures in order to achieve their ideal porcelain skin colour. Known as the plastic surgery capital of the world – skin lightening has become one of Korea’s most common procedures. Dr Chris Lim of the ME Cosmetic Clinic in Seoul told Artefact: “Our most popular procedure is the glutathione injection; which people often call the ‘Beyoncé injection’.” Glutathione is a substance used to impede the process of pigmentation, in effect, lightening the skin. “A lot of middle-dark skin Asian patients want to have a brighter skin tone,” Lim added.

Inhaling glutathione may also trigger asthma attacks in people who have asthma. We don’t accept patients with asthma or any kind of pulmonary issues.”

Though extreme measures such as skin bleaching are frowned upon, it is not uncommon for South Korean beauty products to contain a subtle whitening aspect. Popular photo applications include filters that lighten the skin. Girls can often be seen wearing foundation shades lighter than they are. Being compared to snow is considered a compliment. Gonju spoke about his skincare routine. “While I use sunblock, I don’t take any drastic measures to keep my skin from darkening. The funny thing is, my mom bought a pack of whitening face masks yesterday and I’m actually going to use them too.” “I’ve never actually used a whitening product before, but my mom, my sister, and my girlfriend all use them,” he told us. “Most women prefer white skin; Korean women especially love that kind of stuff,” 24-year-old Song Kipeum agreed. “It just seems purer.” Student Ohui Hyun told us: “I don’t necessarily think that white skin is portrayed as better, but in television and advertisements, all the actresses are, for sure, white. I think it just looks a bit tidier and more intelligent.” While tanned skin is slowly, slowly becoming more accepted as beautiful – with high-status celebrities like EXO’s Kai and SISTAR’s Hyolyn encouraging a more open-minded and sexy approach to darker skin, for now – fair skin was, and remains, the ideal of beauty in South Korea.
