First, in response to a few comments I saw, I would like to say that Koreans are not toys that go out of season or popular for a target market. Yes, I understand that many teenagers (not just girls) like them due to bands like BTS, but many older and younger people like them too. Another thing I would like to say is that East Asian men do not look like females! I will admit that many of them have softer features, but not all of them. Many of the Koreans you see, like Kim Seokjin, (A member of BTS. I am using BTS, because they are the most well known) are famous. Korea has a brutally strict beauty standard, and in order to be a Kpop idol or Kdrama actor/actress you have to fit it. In Korea soft features, baby faces, clean faces (no beard), and slim bodies are the standard for men, so almost all of the Korean male celebrities that you see will look more feminine according to the western standard of beauty. (Koreans correlate having a beard with being dirty, so Korean men who grow hair faster than average shave very often. Many male Kpop Idols have even apologized to fans when their body hair shows (leg, arm, armpit, and/or facial.)) (Some Kpop idols are told to stop working out when they start getting too bulky. The Korean standard is a slim body with a six pack, but in recent years Idols like Wonho and Shownu have been challenging it.) Another thing to mention is that celebrities (all, not just Korean) wear makeup, but Korean male celebrities do wear more noticeable makeup. The average Korean man does not wear makeup, and most Korean celebrities don’t wear makeup when they are off camera. Okay, I am done. Some people might think I am being too sensitive, and maybe I am, but I am so tired of people belittling Korean (and other East Asian) men. Sorry, I know this had nothing to do with your question.
Now to finally get to your question, people find them attractive, because they are attractive to those people. Why? Why do people find blue eyes attractive? It is hard to explain, but you just find them pretty. It’s the same with Korean men, people don’t know why they are attracted to them, they just are. Another reason why people who are not Korean or live do not in Korea probably find Korean men attractive is because of Kpop and Kdramas. Male Kpop Idols are trained to act like their fans’ boyfriend. They are forbidden from dating (publicly) because of this, and they participate in fan service (basically flirting with their fans.) They are trained to always treat their fans like they are special (and I’m not saying that they don’t love and appreciate their fans, they do, but I know that not all of them do to the extent that they show) This creates the illusion that these Idols are yours and only for you, which some people really buy into. Kpop Idols are also trained to be perfect on camera, only showing their positive sides. They do not get into scandals or participate in any bad behavior (at least they don’t get caught.) They are boyfriend material. The type that you can take home to introduce to your family.
Kdramas are quite different than western dramas. Rather than the physical aspect of relationships, Kdramas focus on the emotional aspect of relationships. Kdramas are usually slow burn, which means that the characters slowly fall in love with each other. They do not hop into bed together, it usually takes a few hour long episodes for them to even kiss (and Kdramas are generally only 16 episodes.) Due to this, the main male character is usually very romantic and dependable. He is always there for the girl and is very observant of the little things about her. They are also playful and love to mess with the female lead, and flirt with her just the right amount. During these episodes you get to see the characters slowly learn more about each other, create a close bond, and fall in love with each other all while you are also falling for the male lead. The writers, directors, actors, actresses, and everyone that participated in making the Kdramas are all so extremely talented, and know how to draw people in. Sometimes while watching you forget that this isn’t reality. Kdrama leads are not the only guys that get all of the attention, the second male lead does too. (which is where you get second lead syndrome.) The second lead is also in love with the girl, but never gets her. He usually has been in love with her for a long time, and has always protected her. When he sees she doesn’t feel the same he is usually supportive and stays by her side as a friend. People fall in love with him because he is such a nice guy, and they wish they had someone who cared about them as much as the second lead cares about the girl. Either way, both the lead and the second lead are usually good guys and the perfect caring and attentive boyfriend.
Some people who have never been to Korea watch these Kdramas or Kpop idols and think that all Korean men are this way. As silly as it sounds, they truly believe that all Korean men are kind, sensitive, romantic, loyal, and loving. Sadly, Korean men know this, so some of them target those foreign women acting like how the women expect them to, but as soon as they get what they want they leave. Of course not all Korean men do this, and some of them are kind, sensitive, romantic, loyal, and loving, but not all. At the end of the day, Korean men are just men, not too different from western men. However I will say that most Korean men are a lot more open about their feelings, due to our culture, and I believe that many women are drawn to that. Korean men are also not afraid to compliment other men and seem to form extremely close bonds with one another (closer than most men in the west do.) This might also be attractive to women, because it shows that they are good with people. (Does that make sense? 🤔)
Anyway, I hope this helped. I also hope you have a good day/night! 😊
I used to find tall, blond, blue-eyes men the most attractive until I traveled to China and met my boyfriend. Never ever, would I imagine I’d be attracted to an Asian man. But… I met an Asian man who was so sexy, as if he was taken out of the movie and he was perfect for me.
I turned down lots of hot white and black guys because I liked my Asian guy more than them. I am not attracted to Asian men. It’s just this particular guy, I find him irresistible, he’s the ideal of a man in my eyes.
I am attracted to him to the point that It’s been 3 years now and I can’t really think of other men.
Apart from his personality that perfectly fits mine, what I love about him looks wise - it’s his broad shoulders, I’ve rarely seen shoulders as broad as his.
I love his height, he is 30 cm taller than me.
I love his eyes, so exotic and beautiful.
I love his body. Every bit of it.
Just everything about him.
Sometimes I think I am so lucky to have a boyfriend who I find so irresistible and sexy.
I wouldn't say most girls find them attractive its just that the girls that do are very vocal about it. It's also more teen girls than anything I believe. It's probably just because they like the Kpop groups so they also like the boys in the groups. It would compare it to like teens girls finding justin bieber hot almost a decade ago or the jonas brothers when they were on Disney channel. It's just they're boy bands. 🤷♀️
They take well care of themselves, age gracefully and well,& are super hot compared to an old man with wrinkles. I dont care if i find a koreab husband its not on my bucket list that he has to be korean but itd be fantastic but i still like Caucasian guys, Mexican, Hawaiian,& italian. I just dont like black or indian guys.
I don’t find any member of the BTS attractive. I’m not sure about Korean men, in general. Some just look too feminine to me. Nothing is wrong with being feminine, but I just prefer more defined, masculine facial features.
Of course, attractive people exist in all ethnicities. Beauty is subjective. My best friend on the other hand, is crazy about Korean men. I’ll ask her and let you know.
Most doesn't, they were a trend of it during 2016 / 2018 but now it seem to have gone away and when they get asked which race they find the least attractive they always respond with Asian and Indian so most women don't find Korean attractive and those who do are usually very young girls. Though like I say this trend has passed away some years ago.
Like any race, there are some attractive and some not so attractive ones. I personally find the one in the question not attractive but that's just me. Not my type
Most teenagers like me do. But I still prefer the young look of Leonardo DiCaprio. Yet East Asian men are good looking if they take care of themselves.

I don’t know but I know that model scouts like Korean men because of the sharp jaw and cheek structure
