I was reading a article and it was talking about how South Korean Women/Men esp in Apkujong look the most stunning in Korea. And it said it was all down to Plastic Surgery. Is it true? Link:- http://www.seoulstyle.com/art_plasticFantastic.htm
of cos.. plastic surgery is super popular there. Thats why you get korean movies that revolve around that theme.. such as Time and 200 Pounds Beauty. It all reflects the society they live in.
that's intense but you really can't blame them; society really does judge an individual by their physical appearance..just one of those shallow aspects of human nature i guess
I guess the trend persists then, heard that quite a while back before the Korean entertainment stormed Hong Kong, which is like what, 7 years ago? But I think it's no surprise, many of the stars look really similar because they all got their face tweaked to look the traditional best.
It's true to a extent, its not like almost every girl has plastic surgery on them. However... they can be pretty attractive
^ Wow you found that pic? Nice counter argument. I guess Korean girls don't need BAD plastic surgery (anyone NEED bad plastic surgery anyways?). But they may need some tweaking here and there to look beautiful =_=b
I was amazed and shocked, I read another articl saying plastic surgery in Japan and Korea are really popular. But Why? I guess a large amount of the population is obsessed with looking gorgeous. But would any of you guys find it acceptable? What if you found out your gf/bf had plastic surgery? As time went by and he/she got older you could actually see the implications of plastic surgery, would you mind? Could any of you accept that? Would you consider them a Monster? What ever happened to inner beauty? Or what lyes within a person, their personality?
Beauty is only skin deep, but we strive for it day and night. To me, I would rather be with an average looking guy than a deceiving good-looking guy whose look was artificial. If he cannot live with himself, I just cannot stand him.
i heard about that before..korean girl who reach their 20 years old have did already a plastic surgery ...
in china, women are starting to be more partial to plastic surgery because its necessary to get into the job market. You can go to university and grab a solid education, but if another applicant has the same credentials AND looks better than you, they get chosen. When you have millions of people flooding the market and looking for good work positions you need every advantage you can get. In korea and japan though, i think it might just be due to vanity lol.
but I think most man cannot accept their own gal to be non-natural.. They like the looks, but not the touch.. u reckon?
Think about it this way: what's the first thing that grabs your attention about a person? Their looks. You find that person attractive, and thus you want to talk to him/her. I'm not saying it's not possible for you to like someone's personality before you like their looks, but looks is most likely the first thing you'd notice. To apply this to a business environment: presentation is everything. Sooo.. to sum up: looks is what grabs your attention first, personality is what determines if it will work out. Personally, I'd prefer natural looks, but if she's a nice girl and I get along really well with her, I wouldn't mind if she had some plastic surgery done before I met her (although I really really don't like fake boobs).
I've spent some time in Korea and a lot of my friends there wanted to have a plastic surgery. There are three basic things that Korean women (and some men too) don't like about their faces: (1) eyelids - they want to have double eyelids, (2) nose - especially the middle part, (3) cheeks - most Korean women think their faces are too big and round. To sum it up, they seem to pursue more Western-like beauty. No wonder South Korea is one of the leading countries in eyelid surgery. And yes, Kim Ki Duk showed his opinion on Korea's plastic surgery wave pretty well in his movie "Time". And if you haven't seen it yet, go!!! Now!!!
