With the rise of K-Pop and K-Dramas worldwide, many people have an idea that all Korean men look like that.

Recently, a TikTok user shared a video about their trip to Korea with the caption, “On my way to Seoul to fall in love with a Korean man.” The video then showed the OP taking videos of different men with a version of the Titanic song, alluding that they weren’t good-looking or what she expected from Korean men.

When the video was shared on X, it garnered a lot of attention and, specifically, a lot of criticism. Many shared how disrespectful it was to film Korean men without their permission just to taunt their visuals compared to the creator’s “standards” of a Korean man.

Spending that much money to travel across the world bc you’re horny for soap stars should be so embarrassing that you never tell a soul until your last dying breath then watch as the person you tell looks at you like they’re relieved you’re dying, TikTok is destroying shame.

Many believe the OP was very disrespectful on her visit, especially filming men and seemingly criticizing their visuals as it doesn’t suit the “stereotype” she expected.
