Article: Ministry of Gender Equality and Family's guideline for broadcast companies under controversy "too many similar faces"
Source: Money Today via Nate
The Ministry criticized the issue of TV shows, children's animations, TV ads, and music shows only featuring one specific type of female face (thin shape, big eyes, light skin) instead of a bigger variety of looks. The guideline states: "most of the idol groups on music shows share a similar look that is severely geared towards a specific type. Most idols have thin bodies, white skin, similar hair styles, and outfits that show their bodies off. This can be seen in both male and female groups. It's recommended that TV shows not feature one type of look in an excessive proportion."
1. [+351, -9] I really don't see the point in this ministry
2. [+322, -9] The only solution is to disband this ministry
3. [+281, -9] The stupidest thing I've ever heard
4. [+203, -9] How are you taking our tax money and spending it on something stupid like this
5. [+175, -7] They're taking our tax money to basically be spokespeople for feminazis
6. [+148, -5] Upvote to get rid of the ministry
7. [+122, -5] At this point, the ministry would be more productive not doing any work at all
8. [+73, -1] It's all the fatties watching TV, they just don't want to watch skinny and pretty girls on the screen. The ministry is basically demanding that half of girl groups have members that weigh over 80 kg.
9. [+49, -1] Aren't they basically acknowledging that there's a "better" type of look? They don't like that TV only shows pretty girls so they're forcing them to mix in a few uglies too.
10. [+40, -3] Wait, is this North Korea?

1. [+230, -44] This is not China, stop this at once
2. [+175, -15] I'm voting for whoever gets rid of this ministry next
3. [+48, -9] Seems like someone in the ministry has a complex about their looks
4. [+26, -13] But have you guys seen the chodings copying all the sexy dances by girl groups? Why is the only girl group concept sexy or cute? There aren't any fresh looks like Crayon Pop anymore and if they all disappear soon anyway. The rest are all similar concepts.
5. [+35, -27] I agree that everyone on TV is thin, light skinned, with the same make up style everywhere, like dolls punched out of a factory. The entertainment industry is definitely pushing a certain type of look. In England, they banned plastic surgery ads because it's a negative influence on the youth and we need to learn from them too.
