A recent post on the popular Korean online community Instiz has stirred conversation about beauty perceptions related to skin tone. The thread, titled “Are there people with dark skin who are still considered beautiful?”, quickly caught users’ attention for its candid questioning of conventional standards.

    In the post, the original poster clarified that they weren’t referring to people who had deliberately tanned their skin for a fashionable “sexy and healthy” look, but rather individuals with naturally darker complexions who still exude beauty. They asked if any celebrities or influencers fit that description, explaining:

    “It feels like if your skin isn’t pale, it’s not easy to be seen as pretty.”

    The question reflects a long-standing issue within South Korea’s beauty culture, where fair skin has traditionally been prized, and darker tones are often less celebrated in mainstream media. While rare, there are a few Korean stars who’ve been celebrated for their naturally tanned look: Lee Hyori – Known as the “Nation’s Fairy” in her early days, her warmer skin tone became part of her signature charm. Girls’ Generation‘s Yuri, AOA‘s Seolhyun, and BLACKPINK‘s Jennie are also mentioned in the comment section.

    5. I actually think of Yuri.
    6. Lee Hyori.
    7. Jennie also seems to have a darker type of skin, right?

    The truth? Beauty isn’t about one skin tone. The more we see diverse complexions in media, the less we’ll even think of “dark” or “light” as a dividing line for attractiveness.
