As you guys know, some stereotypes might be negative or positive. let's start with the definition of a stereotype.
A stereotype is a generalization of an individual or group based on their image or idea, but sometimes it is not true in reality. A stereotype is usually based on rough, often negative generalizations.
Now, you understand the definition of a stereotype. So it's time to show you some of the stereotypes people had about South Korea.
Everyone Loves K-pop.
As you guys know, K-pop is a big cultural part of South Korea. Many people know what K-pop is, but do you believe that all people in South Korea loves K-pop? The answer is no. Even though you go to a cafe you will hear K-pop, on the street you will hear K-pop, even at university. They played K-pop through the speakers. If you ask Koreans, do they enjoy hearing K-pop all the time? They will say no, most of the music they listen not even K-pop about 75% of the time. Even other people in another country will get sick listen to the same genre of music all the time and get annoyed. This kind of stereotype that people in South Korea loves K-pop needs to change.
There is Free Wifi Every Where.
Everyone speaks English and you don't need to learn Korean
Korea is a safe place to live and to travel alone.
Many people who had been visiting South Korea would say that South Korea is feeling much safer than their country because in South Korea there is a lot of security camera and even all cars have a black box. So even there is a crime, the chance of getting caught is higher. From all of these facts doesn't mean that you shouldn't be careful.
Stick you Chopsticks into a Bowl of Rice.
No matter what kind of article you read, it will say to not stick your chopstick into a bowl of rice. It's not actually true, younger people nowadays don't even know that stick chopsticks into a bowl is bad. If you eat with elders it's might be considered rude and bad, but if you had dined with younger people they didn't really mind it. But you should know at least a few things about dining with South Koreans.
South Koreans will judge based on the Looks.
A lot of people say that South Koreans will judge you by your looks if you go there. It's actually not true. People just don't care about how you look. So you are not supposed to be scared that you will feel insecure because people judge you from your appearance. Even if they are judging you, it's positively not in a bad way.
South Korean eats Kimchi every day.
This stereotype is a famous one. Koreans indeed keeps a lot of their Kimchi on the separate fridge, however not all Korean especially younger one eats kimchi every day. The youngsters have a wide range of food choices, so they tend to choose that overeating kimchi every day.
Korean is Racist
Korea is famous for its high level of hardness, not only in real life but
on social media as such. People in Korea are racist about the black race and
the race of the people of the poor and developing country. They talk and act
rather rudely. Another fact is that Koreans are not only racist to other races
but to their own races that if they look fat, ugly, and poor. Many of the
suicide rates that occur in Korea may be due to mental illness. For example, in
the entertainment industry in Korea, they do not allow black people to debut.
They just consider their race and those of Americans, Europeans, and Arabs who
look good looking. The hope is that people in Korea can have more tolerance for
other races and the level of racists there is declining.

Why korea people are so obsessed with appearance and beauty standards?
BalasHapuslet's take an example in corporation or company, people with beautiful appearance or neat one will be more likely to be choosen by that company than people with so-so appearance, that is why Korean obsessed with their beauty standarts. It's also because the social pressure that they get, the more beautiful are you the more easy your life is.
