Hourglass

continue on. I knew at that point that the next time I did see him, It would be his time. Many, many years had passed before I saw that boy again. But this time he was no boy. He was a little old man who could barely stand. Even as his sand in his hourglass ran out, I could still tell he despised me. He greeted me as an old rival who finally got the best of him.

To the ecstatic audience of 1,600 filling the Redondo Beach Performing Arts Center, the beauty pageant was just a thirty-five dollar show full of attractive women competing for a crown.

It was about the drama behind the scenes, the improvisations, the pounds of makeup, the extremely tight and heavy clothing, and the stressed delegates giving it their all. The ultimate goal wasn’t just…

The gendered image of females in the media embodies the notion that young women are expected to portray themselves to their male counterparts as fragile and helpless. The aegyo behavior that South Korean popular culture portrays perpetuates the sexualisation of young girls. Groups such as Lovelyz and GFRIEND have music videos—both of which have more…
