I used to think that as well but these days idk man, I think there's more media to it than actual evidence. Sure the guys on op slay for sure despite having subhuman traits, but I'd like to know if the average korean kpopmaxxing is slaying or having good results without the statusmaxx these guys have.
Even to play the pretty boy card you gotta have some basic traits. While the guy on this pic isn't ideal I'd doubt he would be celibate anywhere in Asia. But idk, korean society is kinda silly sometimes so who knows
edit: just for fun I kinda look it up in japanese what is considered the most attractive actor guy in japan atm, it is this guy:
took this photo since we can actually see his facial traits without the long hair, you can see, not gigachad but still some pretty boy-chadish nice features. Tried to look up for a korean one in english since I don't know korean, apparently is this guy:
no subhuman at all, these guys are changs.
