Also funny how the girl doesn't so much look properly Korean as more akin to modern plastic k pop people

Yup.

Also no such thing as cleavage in traditional Korean clothing.  Boobs get strapped down and hidden away.

Isn't that just an art design to indicate that Ursula is evil, the same with her smoking?
It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

And doesn't explain the Swan lady (and her much nicer cleavage).

I think it's an art design to give you a boner.
The only character with cleavage is an evil witch. The only women you see on a Korean street showing cleavage is a prostitute. Likewise Korean women do not smoke in public due to the social stigma.

It's quite clear that these are visual signs the artist is using to signal, this is a bad woman.
