  • True but your not photo shopped and I think you really set the bar pretty high for natural beauty. Gotta love the Korean gals for their complections and pretty faces!

  • where's the video u was gonna show us

  • fake and gay

  • makeup is real life Fotoshop XD

  • thanks for the reminder and have a better year!

  • ''MY SKIN FEELS LIKE PLASTIC'' BAAHAHAHAHA

  • the lighting in this video makes you look reaaalllyyyyy pale o_0

  • Yes, Photoshop does amazing things. And makeup isn't b needed by many people! And makeup is usually used in video presentations to highlight the contrasts and lower the effects of harsh or low lighting - a very acceptable use.

    But makeup can be helpful with those wanting to make a good example on a first meeting - when looks can be important for attraction from others.

    The inner beauty or inner ugly - that is what people eventually see and remember you by. And your inner beauty is awesome!.

  • I don't like calling people out on stuff, but there's something very contradictory about saying societal standards of beauty aren't real while choosing to put random chemicals on your face in order to cater to those standards...though I guess it's a necessity in your line of work.

    I actually tell all my female friends that I think they'd look much better without makeup. =]

    For me, striving for physical beauty is fine if doesn't affect more important stuff, like physical and mental health. :P

  • inane and hypocritical. why blanket your face in that bright light? If you're avoiding bad lighting, editing out spots (presumably for sounding stupid), ensuring your hair looks nice, etc. etc. you're guilty of pandering to these "standards of beauty" and intelligence. but good on you for making all the ugos out there feel better, asshole.

  • I love you Arden. You are amazing.

  • every thought of starting a radio show/podcasts? your voice would be awesome for one!

  • no one could be perfect, but maybe on the appearance on the outside that we see!!

    there are alot more girls who is more attractive than Arden, but her heart attracted me.

  • damn right. appearance fades after a while have to say.

  • Pro-pixel intensifying fauxtanical hydro-jargon microbead extract

  • i always thought it was pronounced a-DOH-bee o.O is it really ah-doh-BAY?

  • @niajef They changed the pronunciation to ad-doh-bay so it can sound like a fancy make-up product lol

  • Comment removed

  • we watch the fotoshop video with my friends and we were laughing so hard on it. :)

  • you mean PHOTOSHOP?

  • @shinobimastah08 no she means fotoshop like the video she linked in the info box

  • I think this applies more in South korea... All these plastic surgery madness

  • YOU LIVED IN MINNESOTA?? (I just read something on that today..) AWESOME!! I live there :3

  • i didnt know thats how you say "adobe" lolol...i always pronounced adobe like "adobe houses" indians made

  • @xoaclxo She said it like they did in the video!

  • This is why i love you. You're beautiful on the outside AND inside <333

  • hello from slovakia :-) (find on google :-D)

  • I saw you in the Lifetime show "walking the halls". You were so awesome!!

  • females are under so much pressure in this modern time, because they need to be whatever society currently defines as "perfect". Arden, that was link was very eye-opening. You are really such a great person(: i wish i could meet you in person one day. Thank you so much. ^_^

  • Everyone is beautiful in their own way... Here is a quote "Everyone is beautiful; fat or skinny, tall or short, black or white. Don't let anyone make you feel ugly and never make anyone else feel it."

  • i crashed my car yesterday,2012 isn't looking too good for me.

    but on the bright side my car was a total piece of shit (: ....... that oughta show em.

  • beauty in society changes because it varies and people's perspective of what it is throughout time changes. Just like how people in the past defined beauty as fat and today fat people aren't defined as beautiful anymore. While self beauty is there forever.

  • Thanks for making this video :-)

    You make me feel a kind of better <3

  • I wish all the girls could be like you :(

    Keep growing in God

  • get well soon

  • ya photoshop has become my best friend~ i used to be over size and i'll editing my photo to be slimmer to feel better to "lie" to myself actually and i realize beauty for the outward is hard work~! so i workout & eat lesser and from 85kg to now 64kg~! PPL IF YOU WANNA LOOK GOOD DO SOMETHING~! but inward beauty is MORE IMPORTANT~! ha oh ya arden i love your voice :P hahaha

  • I like how Arden is willing to post stuff like this publicly and still also respond to people's posts as though she knows us. It's a nice thing that sets her apart as a different kind of celebrity. I feel like other celebrities are in their own reserved world, so it's nice to hear her thoughts.

    That being said, good video : )

  • Get better soon haha

  • get well soon Arden!!!

  • you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know

  • you sound... like a goddes!! and not weird!! :P

  • mmm get well soon arden!

  • The three google ads rotating the bottom of the video for me are "Botox Injection, $10/unit" "BodyTite Liposuction" and "Anti-Aging Procedures"

    Google ads are clever.

  • uhhh i'm pretty sure you're perfect

  • Arden, the world wouldn't need photoshop if were teach them the real meaning of beauty.

  • arden... turn ur phone horizontally when u record so i can see pretty face without the stupid black bars on the side :P

    u dont need photoshop. ur picture perfect. ALL HAIL TO ARDEN :)

  • I'm really glad you do these types of videos, Arden! You're helping a lot of people by speaking the truth in a positive way : ) you're truly an inspiration!

  • Sick for a whole week? Did none of your friends came by with some chicken soup?

  • Only pretty people say these things...

  • HOT!!!!!

  • ARDEN LIED TO US!! :O 1:17

  • beautiful, cute and clever.. what a OP char

  • so... got a boyfriend? ;) haha jokes...I'm sorry.. your really pretty ...

  • don't see anything imperfect with you ... Love listening to your voice!

  • Put more "I'm a ninja" at the ending. =)

  • What defines beauty? Arden Cho ;)

  • For me, normal girls are good enough. From now on

  • I don't even know if i would love you the same way i do now, if you ever get surgery to change yourself. I just don't see any imperfections when i look at you. Yeah, you are right about the new things (Technology) people use to make everything look and sound perfect. They do the same thing to music by using Autotune. I think that's what it calls, haha. I don't really care about it, because i won't use it to make my voice sounds like it's perfect. You look perfect already, and i love you!

  • Ask Arden: Career, or personal life?

  • girls are stupid,throw rocks at em.

  • Ive been angry about the standards of beauty set by the media for a long time, its disgusting really. i also think that plastic surgery (outside of the confines of repairing serious damage like cleft lips and say repairing damaged left by breast cancer surgery etc.) should be illegal. We shouldn't be wasting good doctors time sucking the fat out of your butt or making you breasts 2 sizes bigger. Problem is I know of no way to repair the damage done by our society to our own psyche's.

  • just watched the video and that was done really well. Many people would probably believe that the "commercial" is real and actually want to buy the product if they saw it on TV.

    and I totally agree with everything you said, and you really are beautiful on the inside and outside as well! Hope you recover from your cold soon! drink lots of water, OJ, and tea and get lots of rest!

  • She's pretty, realistic, funny, and smart... I think I'm in love.. *crush crush*

    But seriously though, I wish more girls, or people in general shared your views.

    Great video! :)

  • Easy to say all that when your hot

  • @MusicF4n LOL

  • @MusicF4n True story: When you love somebody, or when somebody loves you, it does not matter how you look. Seriously, if you REALLY love somebody, however she look is the best.

  • You sound and look pretty :)

  • Arden, one of my inspiration in my dreams c:

  • God made you perfect!

  • You are Perfect!

  • In comparison to the celebrities I know, I think you are one of the greatest inspirations to girls of my age. You're already amazing the way you are! You inspire me to be true to myself and I'm extremely grateful to you for that :D There's nothing you should change about yourself! You're already a great person! You have talent and beauty that any girl would dream to have! :) Don't ever forget that!

  • i want to make babies with you

  • If steroids are illegal for athletes, photoshop should be illegal for the media.

  • cant agree more with you arden!

  • even when ur sick u look amazing!

  • A Gazillion things you want to change??? @ardenBcho, you are one of the most beautiful women I know. Or have seen, because I don't know know you, but I feel like I know you, but I don't really know you personally, ah, you see? You're beauty makes me mumble things. You are perfect for who you are so don't change Arden.

  • you are very pale in this video i think you eed fotoshop by adobe ;D

  • omg... don't say that about yourself :/ ure beautiful enough! haha!!

  • dang arden... your last vid, u sounded healthy... i do hope you feel better...

    as far as responding to your question... i agree... the cultural standard of beauty is ridiculous. It distorts everything and everyone... turns girls into trophies (which isn't a good thing, and guys into weirdos who only want those "trophies"... it's unhealthy and pretty much screws up society negatively...

    i hope you feel better and i'll be praying for you!

  • beauty is not just a pretty face, it's having a beautiful mind, soul and heart,

    i share the same value :)

  • arden you are just purely awsome the way you are... you will never need photo shop!!

  • fotoshop or photoshop ???

  • Arden is not only pretty but also smart, sweet, sincere and has such a sunshine and nice persona. Girls like her are very very rare.

  • Arden would never need photoshop... You can't fix something that's not broken.

  • @aliiaimoku she can fix the background lol

  • @00dlsgur Aaah you smartass lol

  • Bagillion? Is that more or less than a Gazillion? Just wondering cause I am gonna start working on my taxes.

    Oh, and speaking of good videos, how about that one I tried to attach as a Video Reponse to Ask Arden #2 Friends Zone. I thought it was pretty good... it took me fractions of hours to get it just right.

  • That was a very funny spoof that they made. As a photographer I really don't like doing any type of photoshop to my pictures...actually I don't even own it lol =X I think it's good to be comfortable in your own skin.

  • Arden, you are the standard of beauty :D Get well soon!

  • Get well sooooon!

  • Hope you feel better soon Arden =)

  • 사랑해

  • I really like you Arden. you're beautiful, inside and out.

  • make a video about david... :(

    

  • A part of me understands what you're saying. She tells herself that personality is more important than looks and that beauty is all in the eye of the beholder. She laughs without worries.

    But then she'll watch a show on tv, she'll browse through tumblr, she'll see an ad with a celebrity, she'll look at models and all of her previous thoughts disappear, and all thats left is self criticism..

  • Your pale face is adorable and beautiful.  Get well.

  • ASK ARDEN: HOW DO YOU KNOW IF A GIRLS IS HITTING/FLIRTING ON/WITH YOU?

  • I don't really care about your pretty face - I just think you are nice

  • gd 2012 to you too !

  • you look so white. your beautiful arden i still remember when i met you during korean music festival last year :) come back this year.

  • I think its over rated. I mean by standards today you need to have make up to look beautiful and I know that more and more people are resorting to plastic surgery to look beautiful too. I think its just over rated. If your comfortable within your own skin than thats good for you, don't let anyone get you down or don't let anyone influence you on how you should look because they are not you only YOU know if you look good and that should be good enough. I know that you look good already Arden.

  • aww i hope you feel better! you are beautiful.<3

  • 2:10 "2011 was a rough year for me" I laughed so hard when I hear you say that for reasons I dare not mention :)

  • What we need to realize the most is that beauty is defined in so many ways. Every culture has their own definition of what is beautiful. It would be hard to mold yourself to fit everyone's standards. In the end, what defines beauty is interchangeable & changes everyday. If we focus so much on what one person or industry thinks we miss out on what true beauty really is. So what is true beauty? I think that's a definition we all have to define for ourselves. Embrace yourself, love yourself.

  • you're actually my idol. i look up to you everyday :) ~ im 13 haha

  • Y UR VIDEOS SOUND ALWAYS SO SOFT

  • That video just made my evening. lol it looked like a legit makeup commercial in the beginning, especially with that female narrator.

  • You were in walking the halls right?x

  • Beauty may be more than a pretty face, as you say, but the majority of people first judge a person by the way they look. If people aren't forced to associate with unattractive people in one way or another eg. through work, sport etc, these people would never have friends.

    Photoshop is only a tool to give the fashion mags what they want, to sell their magazines so you can't blame it, blame the fashion/magazine industry for the content that they put out there.

  • Real talk SAAAAN!

  • I loved you at Walking The Halls. (:

  • You are so beautiful inside and out. Thank you for constantly reminding me to stay hopeful! Hope you'll feel better soon... :)

  • dont think like that arden, you seriously are one of the prettiest girls ive seen. and i mean that!

  • Hope you feel better sooooooooooon! :D

  • hearing about beauty from someone as beautiful and sucessful as arden makes you realize that its true. beauty isnt as its percieved. beauty is more than looking perfect its on the inside that counts. and if you manage to be beautiful on the outside then the more then better. beauty is not how it is shown. beuaty is natural. the beauty you see is fake. theres nothing real or beautiful about someone plastic, photoshopped or enhanced.

  • Get well soon Arden :)

  • I hope you feel better!

  • i dont know why but u remind me of mulan

  • You truly are as beautiful on the inside as you are on the outside.

  • She's Fucking Awesome. :)

  • i neither have good look nor something to be proud of. i just feel like i'm not worth it honestly.

  • "What do you think about the standards of beauty in society?"

    Umm, you set them? :D

  • do more ask arden

  • i'm melt when u say bye .......:))

  • Get better arden

  • If they don't allow steroids for athletes, they shouldn't allow make up for models. ^^ Natural beauty is the best

  • I demand you stop being so gorgeous immediately.

  • Comment removed

  • Arden you must use Fotoshop as well then ;)

  • Am I the only one that read the title as "Ah-dough-bay"? Lol

  • I saw the video ! It was brilliant

  • Ask Arden: Why do girls NEED make up? =)

  • that photoshop vid sounds so wrong :\ feels like they say if u want to be beautiful you need to photoshop

  • @KavinduMunasinghe It's an obvious parody. They're mocking Photoshop or at least the way it's being used to make people seem "more beautiful" than they really are.

  • OMG U R LIKE THE PRETTIEST GIRL I HAVE EVER SEEN! <3 U ARDEN!!!!!!!

  • hope you get better soon (:

  • You don't sound cheesy! I'm glad someone in the industry is getting the message out there!

  • ah-do-bei <3 oh arden x)

  • ask arden: most awkward moment that's happened to you?

  • FEEEL BETTERRRRRRRRR

  • you're very humble and aside from your obvious physical beauty your heart is what is most beautiful about you. thank you for uploading this.

  • get well soon, Arden <3<3

  • i love you arden! 

  • Why do I have to love you so much? FML

  • just saw a picture you took with kyuhyun, eunhyuk and henry of sj. when'd you guys take it? jealous =.=

  • you are amazing arden in every way!

  • Arden was photoshopped in real life by god :D

  • I hope you feel better soon Arden

  • 누난 너무 예뻐!

    내가 미쳐!

    replay replay i gotta replay :)

  • The standard society beauty in S Korea is not actually false, because so much teens want to be IDOLS.

  • HIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII ARDEN <3

  • I think the ideals you put forward are amazing and I agree completely and wish I was as upbeat and positive but you are a beautiful woman with an amazing voice and figure and insecurities that easy to overcome.

  • EASY FOR YOU TO SAY WHEN YOU'RE BEAUTIFUL .

  • @raiNyDaiys not necessarily... I have many things i'm insecure about as well. Plus I'm in an industry that tells me I'm not beautiful every day.

  • @ardenBcho haha i was just playing (: , but you are pretty, especially your eyes. But its great that you made this video, its inspiring and can build on people's confidence . 

  • @ardenBcho The industry tends to lie. :)

  • @ardenBcho Then it must be refreshing to read all these positive comments on YouTube and to know that a lot of people think otherwise :-). Also, I hope you get well soon.

  • @ardenBcho ..and those people are classified as..CLINICALLY INSANE!!! In my book, your the absolute pinnacle of beauty inside & out! v(^_^) Now get back in bed & get well! :D

  • @ardenBcho

    i'd tell you everyday the opposite.

  • @raiNyDaiys not necessarily... I have many things i'm insecure about as well. Plus I'm in an industry that tells me I'm not beautiful every day.

  • @ardenBcho what??? Arden, physically you are a knock out. Girls get surgery everyday to hope to look half as good as you. You have big eyes, double eyelids, a tall nose bridge, great cheek bones, and hot hair. There is no feature about you that you need to be insecure about. And don't even get me started on how beautiful of a person you are on the inside as well!! It saddens me when girls who are so beautiful inside and out like you could EVER be insecure :/

  • @tomatocars so to look good you need to look white? well done

  • @denshaotoko89 you're missing the the whole point. I'm simply listing the features that are traditionally considered beautiful, and Arden just happens to have all of them. These features are highly revered in Asian cultures (esp Korea) and people get surgery every day to get them. I never said people who didn't have big eyes or tall cheek bones weren't beautiful either, some people look good without them. I just meant to say Arden has all of these features, AND she looks gorgeous :)

  • @denshaotoko89 Not to mention I was replying to a post where Arden said there were days she feels insecure about her image. I wanted to show her why that's ridiculous and she has absolutely nothing to worry about. Way to misconstrue my comment into an issue about race. You should spend your time supporting Arden instead of bringing down others who are trying to do just that. Well done.

  • @tomatocars hypocrite. read what you posted. why don't you say its beautiful to have small eyes, single eyelids, low nose bridge? you specify characteristics of white people. why do you think so many asian women have plastic surgery to get the above??

  • @tomatocars she does have big eyes but i dont think thats double eyelid, some monolids have huge eyes too...

  • @themangalover1 if you watch her other videos, you can see that she does. This one's just a big blurry so it's hard to see!

  • @tomatocars probably because shes wearing eyeliner so its folded in but even if she has monolid shes still beautiful i think alot of monolids are beautiful too =)
