The thing is .. if Jade knew anything about BTS. Their lyrics started off incredibly misogynistic. Like you should wear heals to look pretty for me. Type of vibe. So it is kind of funny she is talking about women’s insecurities, and then like - oh hey, lets listen to BTS!! Obviously they have changed now (marketing ploy) and i’m not saying they are sexist personally (they just sing what they are told to). But it made me laugh. She is just skim reading a bunch of thing. When I moved to Korea .. I read history books. Like actual books. Not expat blogs, or random experiences.
Like she states most older people are poor in South Korea? Yeah Jade, they were born into bleeping war. How does that come as such a shock to you? Also the idea of having a pension .. your children look after you when you are old. Most of my students I teach live with their grandparents as well. The idea of being rich and saving for your retirement like in the west .. no ...you invest in your children and then they look after you.
She just doesn’t look into anything any deeper. I thought university was meant to teach you to criticise things? and go in depth? Minerva are trying to study everything, and go everywhere- as a result she knows nothing. Other than - South Koreans have plastic surgery. (Yeah there are very high plastic surgery rates here, but lets not forget about the fact a lot of people receiving plastic surgery here are actually on medical tourism. They aren’t even Korean!! Just think deeper jade!!!) A woman using a white skin filter is no different to filters that make you look more tan (or sun beds that literally give you skin cancer!!!)
