YouTube Description
as posted by the channelFrom BTS to Squid Game to high-end beauty standards, South Korea reigns as a global exporter of pop culture and entertainment.

CORRECTION
In a previous version of this video, one photograph in the illustration above had a contradictory caption which suggested that the photo was taken in Korea but may show Japanese women, based on their dress. The image has been replaced.
