I read an article about body image pressures in #Korea, especially among young people, and it made me think about how beauty standards are not only personal preferences but socially framed. www.koreatimes.co.kr/opinion/2026...
what language it was written in.
The journal I co-edit (Asian Dance Journal) uses 한글, then 로마자, then translation. It's not that hard. Most journals are wholly online now, who cares if your bibliography gets a tiny bit longer?

If your journal (I am looking at you, Korea Observer) purports to be a Korean Studies journal, then this is *even more* something you should be aware of-- Journal of Korean Studies, Korea Journal, etc. they all include 로마자 so that you can find the original and so that you always know
And that means if your source is Korean, it cannot be translated into English in the bibliography UNLESS you also include either 로마자 or 한글 so that someone can easily find the original source.
For example, last month I published in the journal 대중음악.
It's like if you have a troublesome group of #kpop fans, it's almost always the same fandom. I really like the members or I would have been long gone...
People don't support "artists" that make this sort of orientalist ick. Get official merch. Get merch that is made by an artist that is Korean. Don't buy AI designed pan-Asian schlock.

That translates as Popular Music or maybe Journal of Popular Music-- both 'Popular Music' and 'Journal of Popular Music Studies' are existing English language journals. My article, that actually appears in 대중음악 could be mistaken as a hallucination if the title is rendered ONLY in translation.
The recent issue with Korea Observer has exposed another issue in academia that definitely needs to be addressed.
Publications ABSOLUTELY must include bibliographies that make it possible to find the sources.
Really thoughtful thread of beauty culture and #cosmeticsurgery in #Korea
