I’m traveling to Korea in a few days, and I’m really anxious about my weight. I’m 5'7" and weigh about 160 pounds. I work out at least four times a week, but I still have an hourglass figure with a large bust, hips, and thighs. Will people in Korea look at me strangely? I’m worried because I find it hard to lose weight. Am I worrying for no reason?
I’m curious about how my body shape will be perceived as a foreigner in Korea. I’m especially concerned about areas like Gangnam or Hongdae. I’ve heard that in some areas, evaluations of appearance can be particularly strict. Is there anything I should be mindful of in this situation, or can anyone share their experiences?
I would appreciate any advice on how to address concerns about body shape as a foreigner in Korea.
