South Korea is a place that has lots of strict cultures and traditions that everyone must follow. Sometimes, these kinds of unrealistic standards can become a toxic environment for children to grow up in.
That is why some idols take it upon themselves to set an example. One such taboo in South Korea is ear piercings. It is seen as a sign of unattractiveness in one’s body.
Some K-pop idols go out of their way to prove to their fans that this is not true and piercings are indeed quite alluring. I absolutely love piercings and especially ear piercings, I have two.
Now let me talk about some of my favourite pop stars who have piercings and still rock their looks effortlessly.
