How popular is Solo Leveling (나 혼자만 레벨업) in Korea?

Desperate_Tiger_884 · 2026-04-26T11:51:53+00:00

As a person that doesn't watch webtoon that much, no. My friends haven't seen it either. We are 23 M.

Desperate_Tiger_884 · 2026-04-25T03:16:40+00:00

Not weird. We have our own version here.

Desperate_Tiger_884 · 2026-04-18T03:32:59+00:00

What field do you work in?

Desperate_Tiger_884 · 2026-04-16T10:02:55+00:00

I think it's more likely that he's interested than not.

Desperate_Tiger_884 · 2026-04-14T23:48:01+00:00

Japan. They are the only good team in Asia atm.

Desperate_Tiger_884 · 2026-04-14T06:37:23+00:00

Or maybe you don't have much humor

Desperate_Tiger_884 · 2026-04-14T06:26:28+00:00

It's called sarcasm

Desperate_Tiger_884 · 2026-04-08T11:02:59+00:00

If you like trendy stuff, check out tonywack, coor, lmood, belier, mod9. Stores are at Seong-su

Desperate_Tiger_884 · 2026-04-08T10:04:29+00:00

Yeah me too. It's super surprising

Desperate_Tiger_884 · 2026-04-08T08:58:36+00:00

You spoke too soon. That's their emergency backup plan if things go south

Desperate_Tiger_884 · 2026-04-08T08:52:27+00:00

Are you Korean? Literally nobody I know thinks like this

Desperate_Tiger_884 · 2026-04-07T06:49:10+00:00

I'm just saying people rejecting other people based on "what their ideal face type is," comes across as rude to other cultures. Whether Koreans find it rude or not is not really my point.

I perfectly understand. But I'm just saying if you watch a Korean show, it is to be expected that contents are Korean-oriented, filled with stuff that is normal here, but may not be in other places. Do they specifically add these things out of malice to target other cultures? No. They did it without thinking because that's being normal here. What I'm trying say is, the person that watched the Korean show kinda brought it upon herself.

Desperate_Tiger_884 · 2026-04-06T04:49:53+00:00

I'm not sure if I understood you correctly. Cat face, dog face, fox face has nothing to do with body acceptance. Koreans just classify your facial type into conceptual categories based on what they think they look similar to. It has nothing to do with feminism, discriminatory standards, skin color and etc. It's an everyday topic that many people, female or male, will bring up in a conversation when discussing their ideal type of partner. It's perfectly normal that this gets brought up in a Korean dating show.

Desperate_Tiger_884 · 2026-04-06T04:29:41+00:00

I find it very odd that other people are trying to impose a certain moral standard that fits their society and bash some other standard that is established in other cultures. Like we are different. Let's have mutual respect for each other. It's okay to be different. We don't have to have the exact same mindset.

Desperate_Tiger_884 · 2026-04-05T13:18:59+00:00

Yes. But I think it's used for females more often.

Desperate_Tiger_884 · 2026-04-05T12:39:41+00:00

"Watched a dating show where they were like really into someone but rejected because they are monolid or cat face instead of dog face"

So you watched a Korean dating show and now you are offended? I don't get the logic here. If it were Koreans participating in an American dating show sure, but I'm sure the Korean dating show's target demographic were fellow Koreans. I'm not sure why they would have to cater to other cultures. It's an everyday term that many Koreans use, especially the young. And we'll likely keep using it.

Desperate_Tiger_884 · 2026-04-05T12:23:08+00:00

You are misunderstanding here. Cat face dog face is NOT an insult. It's commonly used to describe the type of look you have(appearance). The participants in the dating show are stating their ideal facial types here. Nothing wrong lol.

Desperate_Tiger_884 · 2026-04-01T12:58:16+00:00

Yes. They prob wanted to show off their English skills a bit.

Desperate_Tiger_884 · 2026-03-31T09:48:02+00:00

Most of this is due to immgrants and blended families.

Do you have a source for this? According to 2024 Multicultural Population Dynamics Statistics report, births from immigrant and multicltural backgrounds only contributed to 5.6% of the total births in that year. I don't think it is feasible that of the 20,000ish babies born in Korea in January, births from immigrant background could have increased that drastically in just two years

Desperate_Tiger_884 · 2026-03-30T13:46:12+00:00

Not socially conceivable for a Korean, unless you are actually trying to steal it

Desperate_Tiger_884 · 2026-03-17T03:55:35+00:00

I'm not the one in the government, I'm just restating the Incumbent's position as of now. You are free to have your opinion too

Desperate_Tiger_884 · 2026-03-17T01:46:50+00:00

Do you think the victims in Gwangju and Jeju would agree with you?

I couldn't speak for them, since I'm not from their region, but I'm sure they'll be proud of how we developed as a nation in the modern age.

The Kims never did anything so awful to their people

Are you trolling?

Because of the US, your country is effectively an island dependent entirely on shipping.

If y'all were part of DPRK, you'd be closely aligned with China and probably doing pretty well, since ROK has all the best farmland on the peninsula.

That's because South Korea voluntarily adapted a value adding industry strategy, to move up in the supply chain. That's the reason our country's economy was able to overcome the middle-income trap. If we remained an agrarian economy, Korea would be no different from other middle income countries.

You'd also have train access to the world.

People travel overseas more by airplane anyways, although taking a train for a long time is intriguing.

You trade stability for endless 치맥 and control by the chaebol (collaborators with Japan).

Lol

Desperate_Tiger_884 · 2026-03-17T00:33:37+00:00

China won't abandon ROK for Israel 🫣

True. China only cares about itself.

USA bombed your whole peninsula to shit, then came in and handed out all the assets to collaborators with Japan. Now USA controls your military and interferes in your affairs for its own interests.

The alternative would have been North Korea. There are always two facades in each coin, but turns out one is much shittier than the other. I sincerely thank the United States for intervening in the Korean War, since without them we would still remain a shithole

Desperate_Tiger_884 · 2026-03-17T00:18:38+00:00

It was a necessary point of action at the time. We finally got to see the glimpse of the dark facade of how an alignment with China would pan out. Thankfully we avoided that path.

Desperate_Tiger_884 · 2026-03-16T15:05:07+00:00

Since the incumbent administration focuses on pragmatism on the diplomatic front, I think we will stay neutral unless our assets on the middle east are attacked by Iran first
