As I said before a lot of people obsessed with diet even people who do not need to lose weight. I think it’s because of culture. Wearing XXS size is trend among women in Korea. So, most women want to lose weight and whenever I meet friends we always talk about diet. Recently most my friends in Korea are looking for a job. The problem is when they have a job interview, if they are even little bit over weight they are easy to fail the interview, because interviewer think the reason why they are overweight is because they are lazy. This kind of things cause obsession of diet. We try to eat food which is less calories sometime it causes more overweight and this kid of obsession causes Bulimia and Anorexia nervosa.
I have a friend who suffers from Bulimia. Whenever she eats something she always tries to throw everything up and she strongly believe that she will never gain weight if she does keep doing this.
Kelly Clarkson who was American Idol winner also suffer from Bulimia and she confessed it. She said when she missed out a role, she thought if she was prettier and cuter she could be a role. The doctor said people who suffer form it should be cared by other people they can’t stop throwing up what they ate by themselves.

When i had a part-time job in Korea last winter, my manager said she gonna hire only pretty and thin and perfect looking girls because of the same reason what you said. - Be perfect to yourself can be mean be perfect at work.
When i heard that at first time i though she's bit crazy but pretty understandable!
Being gorgeous looking in Korea is crazy!! hahaha
The reason why they want to hire pretty girls is also because there will be more customers because of that girls. There is a chain shop which is called 'Min To'. There are really only good looking staffs so many people like to go there because of good looking staffs ~ haha
I was obsessed about weight loss before but it wasn’t anything like Anorexia like those celebs you were mentioning in your blog. I had realized in an early stage to notice about what I have done wrong to myself, I searched the informations from all sources to make myself become healthy after having problem with artificial supplementary I took for a few years I had problem with yo-yo effect (gained back my old weight) because of taking the wrong medications. I now know that the herbs in Asian cookings are the magic medicines of all.
I am shocked that employers in Korea can actually discriminate openly on the basis of weight! Surely if one is recruiting 4 girls at an escort agency, looks is important but salespeople ... R there any labour laws in Korea that could prevent this?
I don't think there is any labor law for this matter because the interviewer just can say that's the only reason why they failed to have a job there. In spite of this kind of situation, a lot of people just blame people who have a plastic surgery or are obsession of diet. When someone tries to lose weight others would say you don't have to ,you are fine, something like that. But i don't think it's their actual thought.
