In all the years that I was in Korea I don't think I ever saw a single Korean man with a beard.

Why is this?

Perhaps it is because they are not capable of growing beards (like men of European, African etc dissent).

most east asian men are incapable of growing a beard. asian folks just aren't that hairy.

Some can, but it isn't deemed physically attractive at least for now, THANKFULLY since I am an asian man who cannot grow a beard.

i've got a few asian friends who can grow a beard. like literally less than 5. out of the hundreds of eastern asian men i have ever come in contact with. Definitely not common in genetics that's for sure.

i'm soooo glad to be in a country where chest hair is deemed unsexy by most of the population. goodness gracious.

That is not my experience over 17 years with at least the female population here. They usually find it a novelty and can't stop playing with my chest hair.

Some thought it was "dirty" when I had a gotee. Alot has to do with conformity.
