As a Korean American, it's not uncommon for my aunts or uncles to follow up my greetings by telling me "You've gotten so fat" right to my face. Or even say "You've gotten so much prettier since you gotten skinny." I've had some body image issues because of this but whenever I brought it up with my parents they'd tell me that my family was just "worried and cared for me". Which I guess I can understand since Korea has such an unhealthy infatuation with beauty standards, but it really doesn't feel good and has messed with my self esteem lol...
I did not consider that but yeah makes sense, it's crazy how although the concept of beauty is different everywhere and is completely subjective we still bully each other over it
Honestly, Kwon-young's family is so trashy. This could be a cultural thing but the way korean comics usually normalize families absolutely DECIMATING their kids' self-esteem is crazy. Same with the Kang dude like, you just met someone and the first thing you say is a passive-agressive comment, eat shit.
I understand it's to make the main characters look better but ugh, its so frustrating.
Anyways, Juha and KY are hillarious. They're so wrapped up in their own world that they forget TALKING is a thing but I forgive them because they're cute (づ￣ ³￣)づ
