He has traditional Asian features, but I heard from many women that they think he's hot. Why?

His name is Rick Yune, he's 100% Korean.
Nope, I find it interesting that people thnk that "hot" Asians are mixed with white.
E.g. Takeshi Kanehiro, Oh Ji Ho, Ken Hirai, Utt (google them up for pics), but they are all full Asian. |

Perhaps it has to do with Eurocentric standards of beauty. It happens with people (especially women) of African descent as well, though in many cases they are probably correct in the assumption (most AAs have 17% Euro admixture). But still, even regarding African descended women with likely very little Euro admixture, it is suspected that they are mixed if they do not have classic or extreme African features. Such was the case with Isha Sesay, a cnn reporter who was suspected of being mixed because she didn't match people's generalizations. She's from Sierra Leone in West Africa.
Anyways, I say it has to do with Eurocentric beauty standards because regardless of whether or not those people are actually any more admixed than the rest of the respective population, many features that we associate with being "hot" or "beautiful" probably do resemble many European types...Of course, this is my opinion. But then again, there are many features that are stereotypically European, but which are also found in other populations...My question is: do we naturally find those features more beautiful, or are we affected by media beauty standards?
As for this guy, imho he looks very Asian to me. I would not be surprised if he told me he was 100% Asian at all. |

I don't think he is hot. He still looked mixed with white to me. But him being Korean may have something to do with it because he doesn't look Chinese or from Hong Kong. And his Jaw line. |

He is what I called a fine Asian man, esp. for a Korean, as I haven't seen too many attractive ones.
IMO, I think Japanese men are the best looking 'Oriental' Asian men.

In my experience, Japanese and Korean men look pretty much the same, give-or-take. |

| He looks Asian to me. I am not attracted that way to Asian men, but I can still say he is a good looking man with a great body. |
