My answer to Do Asians bleach skin?



Yes and NO.

There are many whitening cosmetic products. I heard some whitening cosmetic products actually contain a substance that delays the production of melanin, the skin colour factor. The cosmetic will brightens your skin but don't bleach.

I am one of those pale Asians. Paler than average "white" people. I was kinda surprised to see how white people are't that white when I first landed to the states.

Seriously race doesn't determine the colour of your skin. It's the amount of sunlight and the amount of sunlight is determined by the earth's latitude.

I have posted some Asian pictures who are as white as Caucasian people.

A little note on EXID's Up & Down

I know I am behind. I recently came across EXID's Up & Down and finally saw the music video.

There are many sexual contents especially the long balloon and the lyrics you drive me crazy, roller coaster and (빙빙 돌리지 말고, stop spinning round round round).

I see a lot of comments from Youtubers that "stop spinning" around surely hints the mature subject. 

However, as a native speaker of Korean language, from 빙빙 돌리지 마, I actually get the feeling of a man in the song is trying to confuse a girl with his speech. Because, 말 빙빙 돌리지마 is an idiom expression meaning confusing someone with an unambiguous topic, or by changing one's topic several times so that you don't know what he's really meant to.
