Post 10: Plastic Surgery

Another reason why I like k-pop is the beauty of the idols. I love how their skin looks healthy even though they are stressed. I also admire their perfect nose, chin and perfect eyes; but alas! I was oh-so-wrong! Those perfect faces are not natural, some if not most of them are perfected by undergoing on numerous plastic surgeries.



According to Jeannette Francis on her article about K-pop Perfection Spurs Plastic Surgery Boom (http://www.dailylife.com.au/news-and-views/dl-opinion/kpop-perfection-spurs-plastic-surgery-boom-20130318-2gak8.html), before she left for Korea a friend of hers which has a Korean descent told her about the obsessiveness of the Koreans about their looks. The article also stated that school girls receives plastic surgery as awards on their graduation from their mothers. It is indeed alarming since Korea has the highest rate of concentrations of plastic surgery clinics. Gangnam (yes, an in the song  Gangnam by Psy), a district in Seoul, South Korea has a place called the "beauty belt" in where you can find hundreds of plastic surgery clinics.

This one is a bit scary...

Because of the high popularity of plastic surgery in Korea, some fans are influenced with the thought of "it's necessary to undergo plastic surgery if you want to become a k-pop star.", I was quite alarmed by this article written by Victoria on her article Anthea, Just Get the Plastic Surgery Already (http://www.theoneshots.com/2013/01/anthea-just-get-the-plastic-surgery-already/) the writer is as if giving Anthea a push to undergo plastic surgery. The writer believes that it is necessary to undergo plastic surgery and a person who want to be a k-pop star cannot refuse to undergo plastic surgery because it is their 'job'. This said article had been bombarded with negative feedbacks such as these:


And once again... k-pop fans have yet been branded with a new name! As a fan, I respect the artists decision in undergoing plastic surgery but I also respect my belief that I don't need to undergo plastic surgery (no matter how fat I may be), unless if it is for health matters, for example, a person's breasts are big and it hinders her in doing some activities then it is okay for her to undergo plastic surgery. It is better to change yourself naturally, you'll feel more confident and people will respect even more.
