If China women are tied to their husbands by their cooking skills, Korean women are tied to men by their looks! In Korea, at least half of women have had cosmetic surgery. Cutting double eyelids, rhinoplasty and freckle removal are not surgery at all here, but beauty at most; Aggressive operations such as chin grinding, rib pulling and breast augmentation are all categories of cosmetic surgery. With the popularity of Korean dramas in Asia, there is a sense of surprise for Korean women all over Asia. Why are Korean women so beautiful? With big eyes, high nose and oval face, we can hardly find any flaws. Looking back at our compatriots around us, we can see how ugly, squint, flat nose and big round face they are, which makes us as Asian Mongolians really puzzled. Is it true that one side of the soil and water support the other side? In fact, some of these Korean beauties may be born, but most of them are cosmetic.
There are almost no singers or stars in Korea who don't have knives on their faces, and this kind of plastic surgery is not only in celebrity circles, but also ordinary office workers, college graduates and housewives regard plastic surgery as a very common beauty. Most people are in favor of plastic surgery, so this kind of surgery is very common, just like going to a barber shop when your hair grows, which is a trend in Korea. And many people don't hide that they have had plastic surgery.
You can see the famous plastic surgery street in South Korea when you get off at Ou Ting East Station on Seoul Metro Line 3. There are more than 200 beauty clinics and hospitals on the streets of Oujieting Cave. Some buildings are even crowded with several clinics, and three or four signboards are very heavy. Without the guidance of insiders, it is really unclear which one to go to for some foreigners who come here for plastic surgery alone.
