Relevant paragraph from Wikipedia from the article on body odor below, but the TL;DR is that there's a gene called ABCC11 that is non-functional in 80 to 95 percent of East Asians. That allele determines both apocrine sweat gland size and activity, concentration of protein in apocrine sweat, and, oddly, wet-type vs.
Osmidrosis is the production of objectionably aromatic sweat, but many Asians think they've got a problem if they produce any odor when sweating — even an amount that would be considered normal in other races. They go running to doctors about it. Since they still sweat, they still need to bathe.
this actually goes back 35,000 years ago from a genetic mutation. the EDAR gene which is the gene that is responsible for developing the skin. was actually found to be mutated in Asians. this gene is responsible for making a protein that creates hair.
Caucasians have the highest hair density among the ethnicities studied. Black people have the lowest. Asian people have hair density that falls somewhere in between.
As a plastic surgeon sees it, there are structural reasons that people age differently. “Asians have a wider bone structure than a typical Caucasian face,” Dobryansky notes. “The soft-tissue loss is seen and felt to a lesser extent because of the wider structure.
Most of the world's population has the gene that codes for the wet-type earwax and average body odor; however, East Asians are more likely to inherit the allele associated with the dry-type earwax and a reduction in body odor.
Asian skin has a thicker dermis than white skin, meaning it contains more collagen. Research from 2019 noted that Asian females may not notice wrinkles until they reach their 50s. Loss of connective tissue will not occur at the same speed for all people in these racial groups.
As it turns out, a percentage of the population lack the gene that prevents stinky pits. According to researchers from the University of Bristol, that special gene is called ABCC11.

Perioe is the total care brand for Korean oral health which provides wide range of products such as toothpaste, toothbrush, mouthwash and whitening products. They have been around since 1981 and the name Perioe originated from periodontal.
Japanese people tend to sweat less and have a weak body odor. There is some quantifiable science behind this statement. The skin contains two types of sweat glands; the eccrine glands (that secrete through pores) and apocrine glands (which secrete through the hair follicles and hair).
The aversion of Korean men to beards has its roots in Korean history. According to the pictures of ancient Korean emperors, the Koreans grew beards. However, it has changed through the centuries. During the Joseon Era, around the 14th century, it was considered offensive to harm the body and its parts, including hair.
We most easily memorize whatever we can say or read within that two-second span. And Chinese speakers get that list of numbers — 4, 8, 5, 3, 9, 7, 6 — right almost every time because, unlike English, their language allows them to fit all those seven numbers into two seconds. Chinese number words are remarkably brief.
Most people of East Asian descent have thick, straight hair. This corresponds with a SNP (rs3827760) in the EDAR gene which is involved in hair follicle development. The ancestral allele of this SNP is the A-allele. The G-allele is the newly derived allele that leads to the thick, straight hair.
Many Asians have naturally straight hair, but there is a significant group of us who do have naturally curly or wavy hair! However, because it's the norm to see straight and sleek hair, curly haired boys and girls tend to think that their hair is some kind of unruly straight hair that isn't behaving.

There are plenty of blue-eyed Asians. This probably happens when the traditional blue-eyed allele comes into a family from a (possibly very distant) European ancestor. Blue eyes then resurface in a child generations later if they inherit the allele from both parents.
Asian hair, usually smooth and brown to black in color, grows perpendicular to the scalp. It has the fastest growth rate with about 1.4 centimeters per month. Asian hair has a rather round and uniform shape. Nevertheless, the density of Asian hair is the lowest of the 3 ethnic groups.
Asian hair is also the straightest hair of any ethnic group. According to HealthGuidance, African American hair texture varies. Some people have thicker, coarser hair whereas others have finer hair. Many have a mixture of fine and coarse hair.
The first explanation suggests that Asian-American youth's academic advantage can be attributed to advantages in socio-demographic factors. Relative to whites, their parents tend to be better educated, and they are more likely to live in stable, two-parent families with higher incomes (5).
On international exams, it's true that Asian countries are among the top performers in math. But it's also true that other Asian nations rank 38th, 46th, 59th and 63rd. Interestingly, those top performers also lead in reading – but there isn't a narrative that “Asians are good at literature.”
Top Ten Countries with the Highest Math Ranking:
United States — 45.8% United Kingdom — 6.3% Germany — 6% France — 5.3%
If you live in Korea long enough, you may notice that the Korean winter is often very cold and dry. The dry climate will possibly cause your scalp to be drier and this state leads to hair loss. The reason is that your hair is not provided with a sufficient amount of hydration so it is easier to break off.
Bowing. Just like in Japan, in Korea people bow as a sign of respect, especially between people they don't know or work colleagues. It is not uncommon to see students bowing when they meet their sunbae (older student), just as it is common for the ajumma at the restaurant (middle-aged lady) to bow when greeting you.
Sikhs. The Sikh religion forbids cutting or shaving any bodily hair.
In Japan, the cultural state of mind around fragrance simply doesn't exist. In fact, it's considered culturally offensive to wear strong scents, so light, clean, dry, understated scents are the preference.
