If you would like to watch some interesting videos on the topic, check out the videos below. The first is an interview with Miss Korea 2018. (It's really good, and I recommend watching all of it, but the discussion on beauty standards starts around 7:57.) The second video is about body standard-related Internet challenges in China, which is a pretty entertaining video as well. We will be celebrating Harvest Moon Festival for our very first official AAA Meeting. Check out the video below to learn more about the Harvest Moon Festival/Mid-Autumn Festival! |
