[theqoo] 46% OF FEMALE KOREAN UNIVERSITY STUDENTS HAVE EXPERIENCE WITH PLASTIC SURGERY

1. The belief that appearance determines the future. 80% of Korean recruiters say they consider appearance.

 

2. 24% of all cosmetic surgeries in the world are performed in Korea.

 

3. 46% of Korean female college students have had plastic surgery.

Uhm... No they're not. Not to that extent.

for 1 scenario : Better put your self defense lessons into use. You grab him and throw him over your shoulder. Bam!

 

2nd scene:  He goes on one romantic date with you.

 

 

scene 3

especial mention of partyon's Yoongi oppa (he's a cat - they have nine lives - he will save you even from a Truck of Doom situation)

How did you guess?

 

(I would have assigned him to you in the poll and given @confusedheart another oppa, but you had been away for a while so I didn't know if you were vacation).

Yea, you can't vote for Yoongles either... You can't vote for any of your oppas - you have to choose someone else's. Let's not be like @kokodus and @Lmangla who both cheated in the poll because "they didn't read the instructions"...

I agree that beauty/aesthetic industry in growing in my country as well. But i believe it's only restricted to actors, actresses and rich people. Common people are not aware of it and they can not afford it either. In Korea it seems it's prevalent even among common people which is actually alarming in many ways. Sighh. The concept of being more confident in your own skin is now changed. People consider having plastic surgery as being empowered. That's how it's even advertised. "Don't let anyone tell you that it's wrong. It's your body and you can do anything" I don't know how far this is going to go.

I didn't understand that. I thought we should not vote only for the oppa marked against your name. Half of these oppas are my oppas. Also if we go by this logic then  @4evrkdrama can not even participate in these polls.

People with a healthy sense of self-worth and self-confidence wouldn't care what other people think of them. People whose self esteem comes from inside oneself, and isn't based on feedback from people around you, won't be tempted to go for PS.

 

It's sad that social media and society has made people so reliant on feeling good about themselves based on how many likes they get or what other people think of them.

 

Unfortunately it seems like SK as a society places a lot of value on outer qualities instead of inner qualities.

That's why I didn't tag @4evrkdrama dongsaeng Everyone is her oppa.

 

Well except for Joo Won oppa. She still hasn't managed to snatch a piece of him

 

EDIT: Wait a second... @joccu you didn't give a share of Lee Soo Hyuk oppa either to her, did you?

[Ameera Ali]

Uhm, whether we admit it or not, physical appearance matters a lot in hotel, banking, airline, or tourism industries for example. It is rare to find a front office staff or someone in sales who is not good-looking or well-groomed. 

 

When your looks stand out, you already have an advantage over the more average looking. This is still true in many parts of the world.

 

Koreans do take it further though because plastic surgery is encouraged and financed by parents. I heard it too from the Korean I previously dated, that it's part and parcel of Koreans rearing their kids if they need to.

@MayanEcho @Lmangla Did you see the news about Kate? 2 weeks in the hospital after abdominal surgery? That's a long time and must be something quite serious.

 

Also, she won't resume any activity until after Easter.

 

Wishing her a speedy recovery!

Must be one heck of major surgery to stay that long in hospital. Hope she recovers without complications. 

 

On the other hand, I read the other day that the late QE 2 was very miffed that her moniker was used without her permission  by you know who for their kid.

lesser physical traits to detect from the same family line.

the kids will not grow up to have any striking resemblance to their parents, especially if the parents did a lot of sculpting and edits to their facial features.

Further along the line, each generation would be sporting the trending look when they had their surgery.

@Lmangla @Ameera Ali I started on Be My dream family. I'm on the 5th ep. It's easy to watch as each ep is only less than 30 mins. This girl who is going to go to SNU, her mother has emphasized it over 100 times that she is proud of her for getting selected into SNU. She has stressed this so much that now I feel like she is not going to go. LOL  This girl's behavior is also very strange....there is definitely something brewing....

just keep watching but this girl is a classic case of book smarts. some of the things she says and does is beyond ridiculous that after a point, you just start laughing and eyerolling. she might be going to SNU but she is part of a dumb and dumber duo. 

meanwhile, her brother who failed his entrance exams to uni is the smart one when it comes to emotions and handling people.

It's the mother's fault. She is being too partial towards her and keeps her on her head that this girl has turned into a brat. You should keep your kids grounded. Just because she studies well she is treating her like a princess while completely ignoring her son. Usually it's the opposite, parents concentrate on kids who is slow and doesn't do well academicwise. Here it's completely reverse. But as you are saying if the son is emotionally intelligent and doesn't get traumatized by his mother and sister after all this, then he is something else. LOL.
