just finished your survey! Good luck! Idk how much this feedback will help but im mixed asian and white and have spent a few year living in Singapore where I feel like the Korean culture is much more admired than that of western countries for example I found that in SG the beauty standard for skin is often shown as how fair your skin is but the beauty standards in Western Countries is how tan you are. Not sure how relevant this is but good luck for your dissertation. Also, the q's regarding knowledge of products and other K trivia I would have not known if it wasn't for my time in Singapore! Good luck!

Yeah this is so true and well said. Beauty is subjective and beauty standards wavy but with globalisation and constant exposure to new cultural concepts, we are slowly incorporating ourselves to the new cultural product we enjoy.
