Korean Actors have great Bodies..

Hi everyone!!! Big Smile

I've been watching a lot of Asian drama recently.. (thanks to D-Addicts!! Not Worthy

) and I've notice that majority of Korean actors have good or gorgeous body..even the comedians/extra...they're ugly and old ( for comedic purpose), but even they , i've notice, are well toned and even have great abs)... Can't help but compare them to Japanese actors, who I've notice, majority of them tend to be on a skinny/lanky side (no offense.. is this a japanese trend... even for guys.. skinny is IN Unsure

)...
Ummmm.. is this because Korean men are required to serve in the military so they have to be in great shape??? or is it part or a requirement or a trend of being an actor in Korea..... If this is a TREND!! I for it!!! I Like it a lot!!! Big Smile

What do you guys think?

I agree with what you are saying a lot of Korean actors have better bodies, I have a few Korean guy friends, some of them served in the military, a few are still in really good shape others didn't keep up with it, so i think it depends. but i definately think it is so much more attractive, haha, so i don't mind.

They don't do much for me. But yeah, now that you mention it, a lot of the Japanese actors are painfully skinny. I was reading somewhere about the "in" look in Japan right now trending more toward the skinny, often metrosexual type. Dunno though. Reaction to the whole sumo thing??

Korean guys do seem to strip out of their shirts at a much more frequent rate than others, though.
Reminds me that I need to keep up with my workouts....

i reckon that being the direct descendants of the horseman of outher Mongolia, their genes are built for shwarzznegger like action.

but, upto recent times where the snaggy, metro trend has evolved, koren blokes tended to be the roughheads of asia. y'know they always used to win gold in the boxing, graeco roman resting, judo etc. And fights on the streets was a common occurence in seoul. not just b etween the blokes.

the older folks of korea were definitely bigger than their japanese counterparts - but now, the youth of china, kor and japan are pretty much same sizewise. probably due to diet - and no, i don't mean red meat, but basically folks tend to eat btter and more as a whole.

I agree with you. I think Koreans are the most beautiful people of all ASIANS. Even the Korean women too. They are tall and slender. The actors are all tall, handsome and with great bodies. No other asians can compare to Koreans.

you will find women in northern parts of china to be just as tall, slim and attractive.

bruce lee - he's from canton province, eh?

I'm still waiting for SHG, KTH, and Eugene's shower scenes. A little equality here, eh?

Of course it's strictly to compare the physical development with their Japanese and Chinese counterparts of course...

Coming on the heels of lilbubot's comment on Korean actresses, a post from iwillnotloveyoulongtime just seems to be a perfect bookend...

Guess I'll have to wait a while longer for that shower scene.... Sad
