i think hyori is fabulous and all..
but this makes me kind of sad to see what society values in the genders
in men..Talent
in women.. ?

wat.

[poppytea.livejournal.com]

hyori isn't exactly influential because of her singing skills

[miduhyo.livejournal.com]

does she need to be? like it says, her music is influential.

[poppytea.livejournal.com]

my point is, apparently not.

[erbalurbal.livejournal.com]

I don't think that means she isn't talented. You can't deny that she is a great entertainer and in the realm of music she is a top artist.

[poppytea.livejournal.com]

i don't deny that at all. i just think that what is required for a female to be a top artist as opposed what is required for a male is different; for women they have to have the sex appeal and looks on top of the work ethic whereas men are evaluated more on their talent and work ethic. and i think that's reflected in society as well - if a guy ends up going to a great school and becomes a doctor, he's a catch no matter what he looks like. a woman gets to be the first korean astronaut in space and is criticized for the way she looks.

Not the most flattering picture of LBH... but couldn't they have chosen a picture of Hyori that didn't scream "boobies!"?
