Isn’t South Korean culture having a bit of a British Invasion moment? K pop and shows like squid game etc.
I think therein lies your answer.

The Turkey-Kenya link is one I wasn't expecting.
Not that I was expecting widespread love for South Koreans either to be honest.

My eldest has a thing for South Korean men; she's getting married to one this year.
She had a bit of a fascination with East Asian culture as a teenager and her walls were adorned with posters of K-Pop stars (pre-BTS). She went out with a South Korean while she was at uni, and when she graduated she moved out to Seoul to teach. She met a new chap last year and they’re getting hitched in April (Korean engagements don’t drag on for years like they do here). Clearly, it wasn’t a phase she was going through.
South Korean culture is more ‘Western’ than the Chinese or Japanese way of life, and their beauty standards tend to reflect that. Their celebrities are often selected on the basis of having a certain appearance, and there’s a lot of cosmetic surgery goes on to achieve it. They’re generally a bit taller than other East Asians too.
The airbrushed image portrayed through Netflix will be feeding the perception of South Koreans as attractive. I expect if all we saw of Occidental culture was through the Hollywood lens, we’d believe that the West was full of beautiful people. A stroll into Longton would soon put you right.

Maybe I was taken in by the 'Eurostat' thing, no idea if they're a real entity or not and if I had to fact check every image that appeared on here I'd have little time to do anything else  |

Good job with the thread title.
Give it a few months and anyone innocently googling "South Korean men" in "stoke" will end up on the Oatcake.
