To add to that, if you come to Korea with the muscular, bearded lumberjack look that’s popular in some other countries, don’t expect women here to line up for you.
Korea is already more modernized than places like Europe or New York in many ways. Korean women pay close attention to men’s fashion. The outdated approach of showing off your thigh muscles in tight skinny jeans or flexing in a tight T-shirt doesn’t appeal here.
Instead, style yourself more in line with Korean or Japanese fashion—not overly flashy, but clean, minimal, and well put-together. Even if you’re clean-shaven and meet the high local standards, dating a Korean woman is still far from guaranteed.

That look is outdated everywhere..
I think a lot of men here are older and stuck in the 2000s and 2010s

This makes me feel better about preferring to be clean shaven.
I was always bullied at work for shaving. It really affected my mental health and I just hid inside all the time.
I don't like how I look with longer facial hair as it looks 'dirty' to me.
Two day stubble looks ok IMO, but when the hair is longer it curls over and looks messy.
But my gf doesn't like the stubble as it's too sharp against her soft skin when kissing so I have to stay clean shaven.
Even in my home country (Aus) many of the guys I see with hot girls don't have full lumberjack beards.
I've come to realise that I should never have listened to my feral redneck workmates about what women find attractive.
Instead look at the men that attractive women are dating for cues on styling, grooming and desirable physique etc.
Basically if you're tall and have good skin and hair on your head you're already doing well. The rest is just down being a healthy bodyweight, maintaining good hygiene/hair styling and good fitting clothing and most importantly learning how to be sociable
