The Viral Difference Between Korean And Chinese Awards Shows

In a new popular post, the biggest difference between Korean and Chinese end-of-year awards shows is gaining attention.

It’s not in the content of the show, but rather the styling of everyone in the crowd! In the following clips, Chinese celebrities stand out with their fancy makeup.

Unlike Korean styling which goes for a softer and more muted look, Chinese celebrities’ makeup is often bold and characterized by dramatic eyes and pigmented lips.

Even the men have a signature style that feels extra fancy with gelled hair.

The difference between Korean and Chinese celebrity norms went viral on a Korean forum, where netizens reacted to their “extravagant” looks.

• “They’re really going for the ‘THESE!!!! ARE!!!! MY!!!! FEATURES!!!!’ look lol”
• “Wow… Ju Jingyi… 😳”
  • “Which number is she?”
• “LOL, for real.”
• “It’s intense—really intense.”
• “They’re genuinely flashy.”
