The Korea Episode: Western vs. Eastern Beauty Standards, The Asian-American Experience, Plastic Surgery + Cons of Choice

Listen to this episode from Thought Daughters Pod on Spotify. Welcome to Seoul, thoughties! For the first time ever, we’re switching up our usual set up to bring you guys internationally while we talk about our Korea experience: Sam as a two-time Seoul visitor and Sowon as a born and raised Korean-American. This episode is a bit all-over-the-place but that’s how we roll so what else is new? We discuss the impact of beauty standards as a minority and how impossible standards might sometimes lead to dangerous habits, our views on plastic surgery and if we would go under the knife, and how being an Asian-American has played a role in our development of selves. Tune into this episode to see who Sam’s K-Pop bias is and what Filipino food Sowon will dare to try.
