A Korean pop artist, Kyary Pamyu Pamyu uses her beauty and popularity
to change the expected and anticipated image of beauty by using factors that
other artist would not normally use. Kyary Pamyu Pamyu stated that she has a
dark side and finds beauty in things that people would normally not.In her
videos she uses plus size dancers, bald people, and other factors that would
people would classify as unattractive. While other Korean stars are into the
Harajuku theme and only want to portray beauty as make up and fashion Kyary
Pamyu Pamyu stated “The spirit is that I am not the same as others. I don’t
want to be the same as Harajuku culture, I think.” She aims to be different abd
wants her fans to support her idea of what is beautiful and should be accepted
by society.
Analysis:
This story was very interesting to me. At a first glance I
saw her videos to be strange, different, and somewhat disturbing. As I read
more about her and what her goal is I developed sense of appreciation of Krary
Pamyu Pamyu being different and not afraid to share her images of what she
finds beauty in. Seeing plus size background dancers in her video “Pon Pon Pon”
is something that many artists are not willing to do. Krary Pamyu Pamyu is a
very beautiful girl but she strangely she does not try to exhibit her beauty
she tries to make her appearance if I should say “ugly” or scarier. I appreciate Krary Pamyu Pamyu for taking a
stand and representing something different so that others can know that what you
value as beautiful should be accepted by society no matter if it isn’t the
norm.
