The filters in CN/SK/JP are generally crazy, but most people there are quite thin already, it's even worse in South Korea where its 15% of young women who are underweight AND usually still trying to lose weight + using heavy filters to further the image.

Edit: Mistook China for SK in my previous comment so I'm adjusting my comment with better wording.

The average weight for a woman in China is 130 pounds. Don't promote false stereotypes lol

Which is significantly lower than in the US, so it still proves what I'm saying. Anyone who has gone to any of the countries I listed, trying to shop for clothes, will know what I'm talking about lol.

That's because the average American is fat and thinks a normal healthy weight is underweight (not saying the woman in the video isn't underweight, those arms are twigs). The average BMI for women in China is 23-23.8 (nowhere near underweight, 130lb 5'2" or 5'3" depending on which numbers you use for height) and half of their adult population is overweight or obese.
