Traditional views of South Korean women are being challenged by a growing trend for bodybuilding.

Body beautiful: South Korea's female bodybuilders
http://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-28923483

Which do you prefer? Skinny minny traditional Korean girls like in all the Kpop idol groups, or muscular female bodybuilder types?
Can Korea ever give up its worship of rail thin beauty?

Thin is in, but fat's where it's at!

The only men that I ever see with female bodybuilders are also really jacked dudes. Most males don't find the female bb look attractive.

Thin line between looking toned and looking like a man with bags of sand.

Those women would not be considered bodybuilders. The "champ" they are focusing on, is likely a physique competitor, not a competitive bodybuilder. When you think of female bodybuilding, think of VERY large and muscular women. No one in that video was even close - especially the men in the background. lol

As for preference of a body type, I'd prefer athletic. Skinny, or skinny fat, really doesn't hold much appeal to me. I'd rather someone who looks healthy/active.

On the upside, she'd likely be a cheap date:
"Uh yeah, I'll have the chicken. And she'll have... a piece of my chicken but blended into a smoothie."

Don't like bodybuilders. The women all look too masculine and the guys are roid raging impotent micro-testicle gimps.

People still think roid rage is a real thing?

Hey, its all good, shows Korean women are progressing along, learning stuff. I knew one, she was cool and I admired her passion.
