A2O LITE's OA Photos Spark Debate: Is Mixed-Heritage Beauty Still 'Standard'?

A theqoo thread titled "A2O LITE OA's photos showing her standard beauty" pulled ten comments, and the first one immediately pushed back on the title: she's mixed, so one user wouldn't call her a standard beauty.

That was the lone skeptical note. The rest of the thread piled on compliments and celebrity lookalikes, with a side argument about her background that nobody quite settled. A2O LITE's OA is the subject of the post, which collected photos of her under the "standard beauty" label.

The comparisons ran wide. Commenters named SES's Eugene, Jessica, Jun Jihyun and the actress Olivia Hussey. Two others said they'd assumed she was mixed Chinese, and one was surprised to learn she's mixed Japanese. Whether that's a compliment to her or a comment on how people sort faces is left for the reader.

One user also singled out her gaze, not just her features. Another admitted that her name is close to their daughter's name, which apparently made her prettier still.

   She's way too pretty!!!!! Her name is close to my daughter's name too, so she looks even prettier to me, haha.

   She has the same effect on me as Jun Jihyun. The first time I saw them, I was shocked at how pretty they were... They don't look human.

6. 6

   She's pretty, but I love her gaze too.

   I'm shocked she's mixed Japanese and not Chinese. She looks like she's mixed Chinese.

   She's the definition of beauty.

   She really does have a faint Chinese beauty vibe.
