This sesame seed urban legend originated from South Korea. It is scary how some people can go and use desperate measures to achieve the “beauty” desired. This  famous urban legend from Korea and it will surely scare you out. You might give cosmetics a different look after knowing this legend.

There was once a girl who was extremely conscious of her looks. She was determined to always look beautiful, and would try any beauty secret at hand. One day, she heard about a new beauty treatment from someone who professed that it was very good for the skin, leaving it smooth and silky.

The “wonderful’ treatment involved mixing sesame seeds in the bath water and immersing in it for a couple of hours. The girl was excited to try it out, and rushed home to give it a go.

The girl was excited to try it out, and rushed home to give it a go. When several hours had passed, and still the girl did not come out from the bathroom, her mother began to worry. But every time her mother asked the girl to come out already, the reply would always be “just a moment.”

In the end, the mother could no longer contain herself and forced open the bathroom door, and was shocked at what she saw.

The sesame seed had dotted her daughter’s body; it had grown roots and latched on to her skin between every wrinkle and every pore.

The girl, mad with grief for her lost beauty, was sitting in a corner and frantically trying to remove the seeds with a toothpick.

This urban legend also shows just how obsessed most of the Korean girls are about their skin and appearance. This story was also reused in a recent horror movie called 전설의 고향 (The Hometown of Legends). Korean women are absolutely sought after, and for good reason! While obviously everyone is different, it’s safe to say that there are plenty of beautiful, intelligent, interesting Korean women around the world, so more than likely you’ll fall pretty hard for a Korean woman at some point in your life.
