not too sure that on the topic of the "reality" of korean plastic surgeries a person who makes money through tourists wanting plastic surgeries is a good objective choice.
@Marshmallox43 Extremely valid point. He is an expert on the industry, though. It's a valuable source of first-hand information. We just need to "self-filter" some of the things he's saying.
@@tomservo5007 you don't need to be insecure to want plastic surgery. Even a doctor said it's better to do plastic surgery when you not feel insecure, because you could see more objective which part that actually could be improved & it's easier to work with them. Insecure people often very subjective & end up fix the one that doesn't need to be touched.
70% of women in their 20's? Goodness me. IMO this is just perpetuating unrealistic beauty standards. Cosmetic, fashion and other industries that use models should have to use warnings in ads. For years now Dove has given back a portion of sales to self esteem projects. Again, IMO, those who have cosmetic procedures are very judgemental of other's appearance
The dove example is like saying that oil companies give back to companies that do carbon capture, wouldn't stopping perpetuating the problem just be better? same with the warning in the ads, it's like warnings on cigarette packages, it never stopped anyone from smocking. All of this is clearly not enough. However, I agree with you, pressure on appearance is immense, I would say especially for women, and the bare minimum would be what you suggested but ideally more should be done as the damages these companies do far outweigh the little they do to compensate
@@yeongwonhan95 I will disagree with you on 'especially women'. Where I'm located there's been a shocking rise in eating disorders amongst young men. I understand this video concentrates on South Korea but again where I'm located cosmetic procedures are still charged at a price that is out of reach for most. I would say add a special tax, as they have in my region on cigarettes. Hitting people in the pocket book is usually a sure fire way to curb behaviour. But given the prevalence of cosmetic procedures in South Korea perhaps the populace wouldn't be in favour of such measures.
@@NovaLyceum simps and rich sugar daddies enable/pay for broke women to get bbl's. taxes will do nothing for those types of women that crave money and attention over anything. but i fully agree and support your opinion, it makes sense. although, why should i care if someone wants to destroy their own body? even if its my parents, i really dont care. im the only person that matters. i dont dislike anyone, i just dont feel any empathy or care towards them if they dont benefit me in any way.
I disagree. Commenting on people’s physical appearance is also done in Filipino culture. When my in-laws comment, they aren’t saying “oh you are so cute like a little pig.” NO! They are literally calling me a fat pig. True malice is meant in their statements to me. Waving it off as if it is just a cultural issue is not ok. It is never ok to constantly harp on someone’s physical appearance. If people kept harping on Tony about his broken nose, I doubt he’d think that was cute or loving. It’s like calling a little girl gordita in Spanish. I get that the person saying it might mean well and use it as a term of endearment. But, the little girl doesn’t feel good about herself being called a little pig.
True. The worst thing is those relatives are not even close to you. The lolas and the titas from your secondary family would even say "Ano nangyari sa katawan niya?".. "Tumanda na siya.". "mas maganda ka noon." 😂 "Nagmukha na siyang ano.." 😅 If not your appearance, they would comment on your status, job, your boyfriend, and they would say something negative as if they know better than you do. 😅 They can be very toxic. Conversations during reunions usually revolve around repetitive comparisons, criticisms about other people's lives, gossips and the superficiality of their senseless talks just goes on. 😂😂
It's always either too fat, too skinny, when you get a partner, when you marry your partner, when you get first child, are you infertile, when you get your second etc child. It's never enough, and none of their business.
Call me a pig and I'll just oink oink. Lol. Keep rattling the cage and find your inner bliss. I'm a childless cat lady, an old maid, forever asked kelan magaasawa but it's nobody's biz but mine. Don't worry be happy. 😊
In one extreme of cases we have a conformist society with no innovation. In the other side we'd have a perfectionist society looking to innovate endlessly. Pros and cons to each one.
@@Pookie1-q2w i cant wait until we are all cyborgs and i can mod any part of my body to make conservatives pointlessly complain about trans people in the future. at that point, i can have anything i want. i dont care about anyone. im a liberal and i love you, and everyone. yay.
@@bonnolog ... to innovate or trying to modify their facial features in order to look "less Asian"? Different nose? Square jaw? Double eyelid? Whiter skin? I am sorry but it just feels sad. They should be happy and should feel more confident in their own natural beauty. Some members of my family adopted Korean children in the 1990s - these children were abandoned because they were born with birth marks. Another friend had a baby in Korea - the grandmother visited the mother and the newborn child, looked at the baby's eyes, noticed that she had double eyelid and said "Great! We've saved quite a lot of money!" When I was in Korea I was shocked to see that when you have ID photograph (for passport?!?) you can get the photograph photoshopped...? Of course, sometimes aesthetic surgery can be very helpful in some "difficult" cases (orthodontics as well...) - however if it becomes a crazy trend it does not feel super heahtly to me.
He’s not wrong it is a person’s right to change themselves. But comparing to going to the gym or using makeup versus plastic surgery seems a bit apples and oranges. Plus it’s a bit of a shame a ‘sizable portion’ of an entire nation doesn’t see the beauty in their natural appearance and feel the need to medically enhance themselves. It’s their right but just a bit sad to hear. Love yourself for who you are!
Well, those who with heavy plastic surgery usage, tend to also go to the gym and use makeup There's only so much plastic surgery can do, so if they want to meet the beauty standard (sometime unheathy) they need to do EVERYTHING. Those bodybuilders also rely on certain type of plastic surgeries. And you mentioned that makeup, which a lot of the country have a sizable portion of the population uses (since ancient times cross-continent, both man and women), also represent the "doesn’t see the beauty in their natural appearance". (also those ancient body modification traditions, is plastic surgery but even more extreme) The desire that drives all of this is widespread across the world and deeply rooted
Exactly 💯 Going to the gym, unless you are doing really extreme workouts, is usually really good for the health. Makeup you just wash it off! Cosmetic procedures are non reversible. One could argue that sometimes they are good for the patient mental health but in that case I think there are also bigger psychological issues involved usually.
All his arguments feel so twisted and full of "excuses." "It's cultural " or comparing sports activities to avoid diabetes to nose surgery??? He is clearly aware of how he promotes beauty surgery cause it's his revenue. I don't care if you wanna do surgery, but be real about the reasons.
you are not mad at him, you are actually mad that women get more cosmetic surgeries then men and you cant change that. if only feminism taught women to not modify their bodies. oh well. at least they didnt do that in traditional households, so it must be a new empowerment idea. bigger boobs = more attention?... or money? isnt it funny how feminists who dont like men change their bodies FOR MEN. ironic.
Asians in general (whether they are arabs, koreans, or anyone) are obsessed with white skin and discriminatory towards black people. Asians don't like dark skinned people. And these same asians raise the victim card when they suffer racism from whites in Europe or USA.
@@Lucy-f1r False equivalence, East-Asian and South-East Asian racesm is non-violent, in the West, it is violent. If you're dark-skinned, you don't have to worry about people coming up to you and harassing you at all in East and South-East Asia. If you're Asian in the West, you have to worry about people coming up and literally assaulting you and taunting you.
Yes i agree, but I think its ingrained in their culture, like everybody does it and you may get judged if you dont do it, and judged everywhere you go, shops, banks, jobs, its like a societal thing.
@lululovelovelove My comment was not meant to be rude. Quite the opposite. I have been to Korea twice myself. My wife is Korean. But when I see and hear that a young man has to worry about not getting this or that job because of his appearance. And he seriously thinks that it could be because of his appearance and he only sees an opportunity to change it, then something must be fundamentally wrong. I view the demographic change with great concern. As well as the aging of Korean society. Of course I could think: "What does all this have to do with me?" And yet I have great empathy for this country and its people.
If Korea has problem with their own self-image, then isn't a plastic surgery rather a very expensive patch compared to treating the root of the problem?
If everyone had plastic surgery to meet the same standards of beauty, they would all look like dolls. Beauty has lost its quality of being distinctive.
Take a look at a photo or music video of any popular k-pop group, they do all look like dolls. If it weren't for hairstyle or fashion you would never be able to tell them apart.
In all cultures, beauty revolves around a set ideal. Some western cultures pretend like they find everything beautiful , but that's just for show, they don't really.
I'll give some context to why Asians tend to comment on other people's appearance, and point things out about others that differs a little from this man's, as an Asian person raised and living in Asia. It's motivated not just from a place of concern (it is, but it's layered), it comes from a place of concern that you are "sticking out", or something is "abnormal". To paint in very broad strokes, Asian societies put community over self, which sounds nice and altruistic when you put it that way, but there is a flip side/second layer to it. Ever heard of the Japanese proverb "the nail that sticks out must be hammered down"? If you are "out of place" in society, you should strive to "return to the fold" to "make things easier for others", to "become a part of the majority". No matter what. Because you being "out of place" is a problem, you are the inconvenience, the reason society is not cohesive. Sometimes being a part of something bigger is a great thing, sometimes it just tanks your self-worth because it's now tied to what others perceive you to be. When people say you "look tired", it's because, of course, "looking tired" is not a "good thing". The "ideal way to be" is to NOT be tired, but well-rested, right? So the observation comes with an implication, a suggestion: fix this about yourself. Yes, it comes from "concern" for you, but instead of asking "are you doing alright?" and waiting/seeing how the person responds, STATING "you look tired" implies that it's enough of a problem that the person should be concerned, as they look out of place/less than ideal. That's why the insecurity in Asia exists to SEEM not tired, even if you are. You have a duty (it feels like) to keep up appearances and LOOK well-rested. Sure, some people just rest to "fix it". And sometimes you are praised for being "pale, tall, having a small head, etc" (fitting standards = good), but sometimes you get called "looking a little dark", or "fat pig". Aunties have told me before: "you've lost weight! now just a little bit more until you're just right", because that's when you hit society's mark, in their eyes. And what does capitalism and the beauty industry do when these visible "issues" exist? Prey on that insecurity. Here's filler for your eye bags. Here's makeup. Here's liposuction and double eyelids and a nose job, too. Here's all these methods to fix these observed problems because society is telling you that you are less than ideal/you stick out, and you don't want to hear that you are a visible problem any more, and you want people to like you automatically because you fit the beauty standard. "Taking care of yourself" here is sometimes taken to an extreme, because it reflects on you as a PERSON. Looking unkempt is being the nail that's out of place. So the motivation in Asia for all of these "corrective" cosmetic surgeries comes from, predominantly, the feeling of being out of place and wanting to fit the "best, ideal state" better. In Asia, society is the best when it looks the best and everyone is doing their part, is the message. Fitting those ideals means you are a good person, regardless of how YOU actually feel.
Huh.. I am Finnish and I am so happy that here people don't really care. Sure you have online haters (the unhappy people who have no life) like everywhere, but in the real life. Look how you look, wear the clothes you want, no-one cares! So it is very easy to breathe here.. What matters here is your actions not your appearance. 🙂
Japanese people don’t comment on appearance in the same way Koreans do. They’re are regional cultural differences but generalisations are not helpful here.
Yes, he's a salesman. I'm an adoptee and I've met Korean jerks who throw zingers just to get a reaction like jerks in other countries. I also know many kind Koreans who respect boundaries and never make unnecessary comments.
As a UK citezen in Korea, there are definitely points I agree with here. Weight is a big thing, the UK is a very overweight country with fat acceptance. Korea is judgmental of weight, not only from a physical perspective, but also health, so you won't find many obese Koreans on the streets
It's literally an epidemic. This doesn't address that at all. The fact that practically an entire nation hates their natural appearance to this degree is horrendous. Spooky to see 🥶 the dismissal of pure reality.
The plastic surgery tourism sales man doesn't think these is anything wrong with plastic surgery?! I'm shocked, _shocked_ I say. This is basically an ad for his business, he's hardly an independent expert. Did they pay you for this? (Given the affiliate links as well) very disappointing
being the 'mecca' of plastic surgery - is that something to be proud of? maybe financially it is, but in terms of self-esteem and self-image, it says a lot about how Koreans feel about themselves. Despite the high number of surgeries to make themselves prettier, Koreans still rank very low in the Happiness Reports.
That is too bad that they don’t like their appearance. I like quirky looking faces. Not the nose on the side of their head or anything like that but I prefer people that worry about the inside as much as the outside. I always thought Korean women are very pretty but maybe I’m being fooled.
Resumes also include photos for job hunting in S Korea. Appearance matters in that competitive society. Your appearance can help you stand out. Also there is more pressure for women to look more out together with skin, hair, clothes compared to men. However both men and women are expected to look their best - hence the trendy clothes. These are the specific standards in S Korea
you are a man saying this. its traditional to say this. but modern women wont listen to men, so they actually want to surgically tear off their limbs to please the same men that they dislike.
I don’t know, Doc. Something seems fishy to me🧐Egocentrism is indeed a part of culture, but it causes dissociation. It’s an unhealthy coping mechanism. But I liked and agreed with what you said about South Korean history and why they are the way they are.
This video scraped the surface but didn't do a deep dive into this topic at all. It's just tell-tales and what most people already know about Korea and plastic surgery. It lacks scientific socio-cultural background while using personal anecdotes to replace it with. I don't believe it's deliberately doing so but the quality of these talks in similar videos are really not doing justice to the complex topics it's about. In this one the dynamic of Korean society and economic factors in relation to demand of procedures, societal pressure, optimization and dissociation of oneself, the norm of toxic beauty standards endorsement and the overall importance of 'beauty' - blatant lookism should have been talked about more imo, the POV is just one-sided as well ofc. This is too simple.......
I think this channel is trying to justify certain things that are not healthy for Korean society. Cosmetic operations always involve some surgical risk. On the subject of "Korean people commenting on your appearance without malice", that is a lie, on the contrary I would say, those comments that seem to be without malice in Korea always carry a certain negative or positive charge.
I don’t care either way. Personally I’m against plastic surgery. But as long as no one is pressured, forced, ripped off or suffers bad after effects of a procedure gone wrong without getting compensated or getting a “redo”, shall anyone do as they please.
Korea feels like a pressure cooker. In my 20s when I liked K pop I thought living in Korea was good. But then I realised Korea is terrible when I got older. Everything is so fake and people are so judgemental. If you look at SNSD for instance, they still act like they are in their 20s. This culture of acting cute is so sick.
Korea is just beyond common sense. It's a country where majority of people trying to look like celebrities. How can everyone looks good if there isn't any people with average looks and beauty doesn't have any finish line. They will compete with each other to look more beautiful to gain attention or confidence but this competition will never stop.
@@joricmalolic3723 i see the other side now. imagine that a man (ceo of company) tells its female workers that the pretty ones get paid more. wouldnt you want to stand out and be prettier than your competition? if all it takes is 200$ wig and 4,000$ boobs, then is that worth getting a higher paying job for? a better husband? better self esteem? but all of that is for mens opinion, which feminists dont care about? ironic. am i missing something?
@@ESW206What? Have you ever been to a WalMart in the U.S.? Or Disney? There are no slender “beautiful” people there. You’d be shocked. Sounds like you watch a lot of American media though…
It is incomprehsible to me that people would think it is okay to comment about other people's appearances and find them wanting ! One should not do so, even if one is perfection itself ; which I doubt these nasty commentators are . If you cannot say something kind n nice say nothing at all . No malice??? Really ????? If you believe that Doctor, you will believe anything !!!
a really Excellent interview here and I have to respect this Canadian-Korean professional in his service profession, that I confess I will never be a customer of ^_ ^
I get it, but I disagree to an extent.. For example I'm Polynesian so For Us Healthy Plump Thick these are All seen as Good things and Blessings, in my family majority of our nicknames stem from this... My daughter's are called FattyBaby and ChunckyBaby no malice they KNOW it's a term of endearment from when they were babies, I'm in my 40s and my sister's and I are still called by our nicknames too 🤷🏽♂️ Buuuut I have Asian family members... and it's not a secret on the Korean, Chinese and Filipino sides that when Nana or Aunty comment on something even though they Love U, they really mean what they're saying in a snide sort of way like as if saying " you know your so big, or you know your face is so big, why don't u do something? u don't care if people look at you because you're used to it or what?" (I'm just telling you because I care, if I didn't care I don't say anything) I've never gotten it personally but I've seen IN laws and cousins get that "Love" treatment.. Brutal.. My girls told me they love their baby names it doesn't phase them, but some of their Friends thought they were being abused🙄 My daughter said she laughed because she told them she grew up with Love and Thick skin and some of them needed to be "abused" if that's the case (NGL I DIED😂😂😂) My youngest is Heavy with the Sarcasm.. My point is people know what's Rude and what's Not, what Malice does and doesn't feel like, Culture is not an excuse❤ Annnnd Korean Beauty Standards are Ridiculous to begin with, because most Koreans aren't even naturally born with those standards so they place huge burdens on themselves, hence the booming plastic surgery industry😁✌🏽
I wonder if those in Asia trying to obtain an " ideal " beauty 🤔. Why is it from the neck up? Essentially women , you aspire a pale face but the remaining body displays your true colorism. Even in the animal groups there are differences yet within the group you're accepted.
We try not to judge, but The problem is they are mostly similar to each other, we knew they did the surgery because they looks like other completely different person. Also the little impurity/imbalance/flaws is what make us unoque and different. What is happening now, the people doing surgery scientifically are doing the right things (like probably nose should have been x degree of lift to make people more interesting, cheeks need to be y degree of slide), but it turns out make all people on surgery kind of looks the same
Medical Tourism is a missnomer that falsely advertises. When you are a tourist, you go enjoy the sights, food, etc. Tourism is about enjoyment. Medical matters are different. There are Thai people who go to Korea and got their faces destroyed in a bothched plastic surgery. Like all medical procedures, the one selling the medical procedures ("the sellers"), got the "buyers" to sign documents to waive many of their rights. As a foreigner with a botched plastic procedure, there is little to zero chance to win a legal battle against the sellers. Imagine that you do not know the language, the culture, the society, the legal system, etc. and you try to get fairness on a bothched plastic surgery. Even if the plastic surgeon is in your own country, you still have a formidable legal battle in your own country. I cannot help but see that medical plastic surgery tourism is a highly risky proposition.
현재 한국이 성형율이 높다고 하는 여성인구 18%의 성형율은 과거 20년전 지금의 절반도 성형 하지 않았을때도 한국은 이미 성형으로 유명했다. 그 이유는 결국 지금의 성형 문화가 정착하는데 있어 메스컴,sns의 영향력이다. 그때의 기억을 떠올려 보면 성형외과에서 언론을 통해 혹은 메스컴을 통해 엄청나게 대대적인 마케팅을 꾸준히 홍보를 해왔다. 결국 인간은 어떤 가치관,상품,물건,패션,행동,식품 등을 메스컴의 영향을 통해 지배 당한다. 오늘날에는 더욱 영향력이 클 수 밖에 없는 sns 등을 통해 더 빠르게 불필요한 정보들로 인해 거기서 인간의 개인의 사고력이 아닌 집단속에서의 인식이 바뀌게 된다. 그리고 마침내 과거에는 마냥 과장되었던 성형 루머들은 비로소 오늘날 현실이 된것이다.
I usually commend Asian boss. However this episode just appears that it’s a pure marketing effort for this guys company. Stephen asked : there are botched procedures. He answered : hire an agent ( aka us ). The real reason there are botched procedures is inexperienced doctors , and of course the pure innate risk involved. He also says ‘ our company , we ‘ etc. This sounds like a pure biz interview. It doesn’t exactly provide a comprehensive and unbiased picture of the plastic surgery scene in Korea. Nonetheless , he does provide good insights of what to watch out for.
Thank you for having an expert who cares and has learned from his experience about the industry. It was great that he also talked about mental health as being very important. He brought a professional expert view to help us all understand the industry. "Do research before you make a decision."
Most of the SK plastic surgery is scary, looks so abnormal. I’m watching a SK drama atm, and I can’t focus coz the main character’s plastic surgeries are so noticeable. SK plastic surgeons are better than most, but it’s not an attractive and natural look. I think it’s the nose jobs that are the worse
He nicely explained why koreans do a lof of plastic surgery and the history of korea and culture are huge factors contributing to this and not just because they all hate themselves. I lived there for around 6 months and can agree to some points. In order to change those things you would need to change the whole system of korea which basically is really difficult to master. I advice watching the history of south korea to get a better understanding of this.
Well, those who with heavy plastic surgery usage, tend to also go to the gym and use makeup There's only so much plastic surgery can do, so if they want to meet the beauty standard (sometime unheathy) they need to do EVERYTHING. Those bodybuilders also rely on certain type of plastic surgeries. Also the huge makeup market, which a lot of the country have a sizable portion of the population uses (since ancient times cross-continent, both man and women), also represent the "doesn’t see the beauty in their natural appearance". (also those ancient body modification traditions, is plastic surgery but even more extreme) It's just that Korean make the risk low enough (debatable, sometimes they just make it perceived as low), cheap enough, that make plastic surgery competitive against makeup. (Makeup and the time spent applying it is also quite expensive, especially with Korean's high working hours, plastic surgerie's low mentainence is very attractive) But the desire that drives all of this is widespread across the world.
I admire Koreans’ dedication to work, looks, etc. the effort they put into it, as the doctor has stated. However, we should not underestimate the pressure this puts onto a society striving for perfection. It has reached a point, where people are being coerced into these standards. There’s a reason why the birth rates are low, alcoholism and suicidal intentions are common. I feel like, Korea has become a ticking bomb…
많은 사람들이 한국의 성형수술을 비난하고 욕한다. 순전히 개인의 선택을 비난하는건 옳지 않다. 외모가 예뻐지고 싶은 욕망은 인종 나라를 막론하고 똑같다. 실재 성형수술 건수에 있어서 한국은 겨우 10위권이다. 강남 성형외과의 많은 환자는 혹은 손님은 외국인이다. 외국인의 수술 건수를 한국의 수술 건수에 합쳐서 외모지상주의를 비판하는 재료로 이용한다. 이건 명백한 오류이며 옳지않다. 예쁘면 살아가는데 훨씬 유리하다는걸 니들도 알것이다. 아울러 예뻐지고 싶은건 니들도 마찬가지라는걸 말하고 싶다.
One of the serious issue with South Korean society is lack of transparency whether it be from their government officials, journalists, medical professionals and so forth. Unlike many western countries where you know there are issues whether it be gun control, racism, immigration issues in the community but once there issues have been identified, there are laws and many times the accused are given serious punishment but in south korea there is too many corruption. A medical doctor will serve 3 to 5 yrs for manslaughter which is a joke of a punishment. I am sorry but there are strict laws in the western countries that prohibit such unethical misconduct by medical professionals and if they are found guilty there is much harsher punishments.
Westerners are concerned about love of themselves when we cannot even love others without thinking about their race. I believe that we want to continue imposing our culture instead of finding a neutral stage of understanding. Yes there are bad Asians with bad intentions between the lines but also westerners are with actions and harm words. It does not exists perfection that’s for sure I think social media is giving bad perspectives about how to love yourself and how would you like to see in the mirror, there is dysmorphia everywhere this is the reason why the doctor mentions that you have to work in yourself not having expectations about looking like someone else therapy therapy therapy before any changes we need this to heal the real reason why we want a change then continue with it or not. I totally respect Asian culture in so many ways I won’t accept everything that they said of course I’m not used to but I will take those things that I lack to be a better human❤
He came to Korea make money it’s capital of plastic surgery Asian man was in media he said it perfectly no matter how straight or narrow you make your noise or change your eyes you still Korean Chinese any surgery is dangerous it’s more important thing in life cancer heart disease and if you had surgery you should not talk about nobody appearance some people have money some don’t
I'm from Switzerland and I flew to Seoul just for the plastic surgery (nose, cheekbones, jaw). The result's FANTASTIC and the price's much lower than what I would've paid in Europe. So it's a win-win for me
He seem to be a very nice open minded knowledgeable guy.I have watched the kdramas.But I watch the cdramas more frequently because the actors and the actresses seem to be more diverse in appeaeance. They dont have that cookie cutter look .Thier fashion skill and great cating skill make up for the superficial outer bueaty..😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
10:06 How can you begin to compare plastic surgery with make up!? I have seen so many YT videos of young South Korean women and men feeling pressured by society to have surgery even though they might not necessarily want it. When you apply for a job, you have to attach a photograph of yourself and your appearance will influence your potential employer's desire to interview you or not. I can understand a fashion model needing to look a certain way, but an engineer, a biochemist? Why should your looks matter. I actually find that immoral. I'm thinking of a particular girl I saw on YT that thought her looks were only 3 out of 10 and that she would probably save to have surgery. She looked sooooo pretty and adorable and everyone's comments said so. And yet her SK society made her feel unacceptable. Utterly heartbreaking!
You guys should make a video about the recent revolution in Bangladesh which deposed the dictator Sheikh Hasina. It is causing a ripple effect throughout South Asia.
Make some videos featuring the citizens of GCC country. For example, stuffs like "what an Emirati feel about south asians", "what are the daily activities of a saudi woman'', etc.
In my opinion, subtle things that more like a procedure than a reshaping of the face are ok, the reshaping is very unnatural and in my opinion unattractive, it’s very noticeable and the natural beauty of the person is lost, so sad that people think it looks better
I cant help but look at this and think "U are sooo wrong" to every action theirs a reason for it. Reason why people are getting doubble eyelids its not because "I want it" thats the top layer, u want something for a reason. U dont loose weight just because "i want to" no u lose it because u want to be and look healthy. This says "oh u can choose to be anything" i hate this statement because, no.. reality is we can't be anything and everything we want to. But we can work and try to achive what we belive is the best for us and thats personal perspective. However, sometimes what we belive to be best for us is due to others life, social, upbringing etc.. its not just a "i want to"
This may be one of the first interviews I’ve watched with this host where he seemed aggressive and somewhat rude throughout the interview. Not really sure what was going on since the guest was very open and honest the entire time
As a 40+ Korean-American woman, I have mixed feelings about plastic surgery. Personally, I wouldn’t do it. After all, it’s still surgery with risks. However, I don’t judge those who do get it, since it’s their body and money. Though like many women, I have insecurities about my face and body. However, I’ll stick to non-invasive methods to alter my appearance. In other words, skincare, diet, exercise, etc.. Admittedly, I do admire Korean celebrities’ beauty, but realistically I know they’re under a lot of stress/pressure to meet beauty standards.
It's so hilarious to see so many Korean "experts" who have never been to South Korea making ignorant comments here. It's pretty simple actually. Judgy people judge most. People who judge about plastic surgery judge about other people's looks most. It's just a plain fact.
This guy is a mediocre consultant at best. Mostly a wannabe socialite. Hovering around the korean surgery youtube space for a few years, with no quantifiable achievements or even a decent website lol. There are other people that are FAAAAAR more qualified. So if you're going to touch on that topic, at least bring in someone with some credibility on the matter.
One of my mentors as a mechanic is Korean. Always calm, a great teacher and always had an easy solution for most jobs. Sujeong is his name. Absolute legend of a person.
I know the comments are negative but as someone who would go and get work done in Korea, this is the man I’m going to go see. The work speaks for itself. It may not be your cup of tea but some of us are okay with getting some work. Granted, I’m only 33 so maybe I’ll will till my 40s to start. I do think it’s an issue to dive so deep into surgery in your 20s.
I'm guessing chances are high it's plastic surgery, but I wouldn't be surprised if genetics played a role. My 2nd oldest sister is 47, but people still mistaken her as a late 20s to early 30 year old. She's never had plastic surgery. My parents looked incredibly young for their age when they were in their late 40s. People who don't know me still mistaken me for a teenager.
bro defended the tour guide calling his brother a fat pig is crazy. It might be true that the guide meant it in a "you are cute" way(or is just not thinking anything when she speaks), but it is still rude wordings to use on a stranger, even if you tried to interpret it in Chinese. It's sweet that you would try to understand "the context", but still fair for his parent to stand their ground and let others know what is ok and whats not in your side of the earth.
My Chinese mother calls my son a fat pig in Chinese. It’s affectionate and cute. That’s it. It doesn’t translate a well in other languages. Lesson learned for the tour guide I hope.
You are doing what they said in the video, you are struggling to comprehend words in the context of another culture, because you only have exposure to your culture.
Met Tony in person few times and toured his company. He is absolutely amazing person. I have been referring all my friends who wanted to get some sort of cosmetic procedures to Tony.
if there is dna altering in the future, i hope there will be cyborgs too. i want a cool laser robot arm. i want body modifications if i can get body altering surgery that is risk free.
but in reality, dna altering wont change anything because people will want instant change. if you make a baby to be exactly what the parents want, then the kids will grow up to rebel and hate their body and want to change it. a pointless cycle of capitalism/consumerism that is constantly chasing validation.
Korean beauty standard is beautiful and ngl they are pretty and hot. but when you have seem enough, it starting to feel fake since you know they are having a lot of surgery to get where they are and many of them are trying to become the same model. and when you start getting to know more knowledge of plastic surgery. it's really easy to tell whether they had surgery or not. plastic surgery is also popular in China and Japan somehow it's different from China and Japan, they are more diverse and nature and "ugly" (because they didn't do a lot of surgery or pursue a certain beauty standard).
There are plenty of them who are not fake or minimally fake, a lot of you assume it's impossible to achieve their beauty std without surgery, but it's very possible, even if not common.
@@Cxs1a3 sorry, I didnt mention that I was talking about non-ordinary people. I was talking about like celebrities and kpop stars and influencers. In this case, they dont have that many diveristy of beautity such as in China and Japan. they are tend to pursue the same beauty standard thats why its start getting 'boring' after you have seen too much. or I can say they are chasing perfect apperance which lacks of many urgly attributes to make them stand out.
