its probably plastic surgery
east Asians usually have thicker calves then westerners and no I’m not being racist I’ve seen thinner calves on more westerners than Asians
and there are Koreans who have plastic surgery to look
more western OR the “new generation” girl just looks like that naturally or she maybe worked hard too get those legs

i really don’t care if a girl has thick calves or thin calves as long as the thick calves aren’t mostly made of fat but just natural and the thin calves shouldn’t be the result of plastic surgery

While nobody can say for sure, my hunch is that the uncharacteristically slim legs are not so much a matter of genetics or extreme dieting but rather calf reduction surgery.

Calves can be slimmed by a variety of methods ranging from nerve resection to muscle excision to liposuction (not often because the tissue in question is muscle, not fat) to even BOTOX (tiny and temporary effect, huge cost).

The risks are not small, and leg strength and function are often altered permanently. While it’s a highly promoted operation in Korea and Taiwan, there are plenty of unhappy patients and more than a few lawsuits.

Nice legs aren’t just about being thin. It’s about proportion, ratio, and balance. On another note, I’ve seen legs on a guy that any girl would be envious of. It’s simply just not fair!

The one on the left I wouldn’t say is due to fat. I call it “lean muscle mass”, and it is easy to tell that that is what it is.

I think it’s partly because this generation doesn’t have to do more physical stuff since we have modern technology like cars and the subway to take us places. Back then, cars weren’t everywhere, so there was more walking so their leg muscles became more developed. I think they both look fine, honestly.

I lived in Korea for about a year straight, and continue to visit the country infrequently. I see about just as many muscular legs in Korea from my recent visits as I did in my earlier visits. Honestly, I don’t think Korean girls are now born with thinner legs, it’s just that fruitcake casting directors and music producers only choose girls with stick figures and advertise them as the “true look of Korean women.” It’s annoying as Hell, and I hope the trend will die down soon. Learn to love yourself and the body God graced you with.
