This is mostly for bg fans, I've been stanning for a few years and I noticed there's this "cult" like thing behind idols showing their forehead and seeing their "natural" skin colour.

About the foreheads, I'm from a asian country, and I haven't heard of people going crazy over exposed foreheads before until I started stanning kpop. I can't speak for the whole of asia, but most of us is pretty nonchalant about it, and for me I much prefer their "coconut" hairstyle rather than those where their foreheads are exposed. And a lot of the times, idols keep their bangs down because they're uncomfortable with their foreheads being shown. But at the end of the day I don't hype over either hairstyles, whatever the idols like, I'll support. I'm just curious as to why fans seems to hype over foreheads that much o.O please explain to me.

For the unwhitewashed skins. To be honest, the whitewashed skin is definitely not their true skin colour, but a lot of the times. those honey glowy skin you see on them aren't their natural skin colour either. Both of them are heavily edited to fit to the fan's preference. Most kpop idols have fair or slightly tan skin like those you see from korean actors. And people got to understand that having snow white skin is literally a part of east asian/SEA's beauty culture, just because it looks unnatural or fake to you guys doesn't give you the rights to shit on fansites for over editing their pictures. Westerners are obsessed with tan, healthy-looking skin and east asians/SEA aren't and it's fine, we all have our different beauty preference, stop trying to force your opinion on others because you think yours is more superior .-.
