The Korean culture about weight is very harsh from what I’ve seen. They are very discriminating and blunt about it not being acceptable. One friend’s family disapproved of their partner because they were worried about their weight (not considered fat in us culture, just not toned). Another friend tells me how her mom has always put her down and comments on her weight. She’s not obese but prob a women’s size 10.
So when Nick goes on about the piggy jokes it’s truly how some Koreans think and it’s not endearing at all.
Didn’t she tell him it bothered her? That in itself should have shut him up. He’s immature af and thinks he’s being cute.
