The Korean beauty industry is world famous. Even in ancient times, fair and flawless skin was often valued in Korea, as it was linked to purity and high social status. In the 20th century, Western makeup and fashion mixed with Korean culture, which eventually developed a unique style all its own. Today, the rise of K-pop, television dramas, and social media has further shaped contemporary Korean beauty standards.
韓國美容產業享譽全球。甚至早在古代，白皙無瑕的肌膚在韓國就備受推崇，因為它象徵著純潔和高貴的社會地位。在二十世紀，西方的彩妝和時尚與韓國文化融合，最終發展出一種完全屬於它自己的獨特風格。如今，韓國流行音樂、電視劇和社群媒體的興起進一步塑造了當代韓國的審美標準。
