Hey I've heard from a majority of ppl dat a lot of these korean celebrities hav gone thru surgery to beautify their image/appearance. Thru my eyes they beautiful but seekin thru da truth behind these perfect images kinda scares me. Anywayz, I just want to know any other celebraties such as BoA who I've heard had gone thru major plastic surgery.

i no hyori lee has gone tru surgery and kangta has

it is ppl's fetish to speculate on whether asian celebrities have underwent surgery or not

my favorite

(park) chae rim is rumored to have 3 surgeries.... she only admitted to have a nose surgert though.....

but.. i dont care... shes so beautiful and i really want to meet her... haha...

Hyori is like plastic girl - but shes so hot
I wonder if Jun JiHyun had surgery, i hope not
I heard son yejin and kim taehee are both natural though
the most insane travesty, though ~

Ayumi Hamasaki

what did hyori lee look like before her surgery? lols what did she change?

thank you~ i think she looks the same =s

Yeah Hyori looks the same as before. I wonder why Koreans are so fond of plastic surgery, more so than other cultures. I guess other cultures do it too, but they don't publicize it so much.

most korean people get surgery. in fact i know some students here at uni. from korea who got it... but its not like its a bad thing. makeup and wonderbras could be equally deceitful.

The think Ayumi looks scary after she went through her surgeries. I've seen some before and after pictures and BOY, did I get a fright. Lol.

there's more plastic surgery in US and Japan per head of population than Korea. so get your facts right next time dimwit.

i think most of the korean stars are hot but then if they've been through surgery it makes me think that their hot AND fake but i still like them haha =T maybe i should go through surgeries too that would be funny and im only 14

Interesting. I did a bit of research about it, and i found the following :
in 2001, based on the ISAPS (International Statistics for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery) America was number one in the world for number of corrective surgeries.
Korea was number 18, way beneath Chile and Greece.
Thing is, I don't feel like doing the math to find the percentage, but that's just based on raw number.

But based on Plasticsurgery.org, asian's make up 5% of all surgeries. that's not a very high number.

but im still convinced alot of the famous faces do it, it's like, practically a requisite.
- keith

Hyori really had plastic surgery?? People said she didn't, saw pictures when she was younger and she looked the same.
But I know Ayumi had a bunch of surgeries >_<
It's sad when people get plastic surgery.

^ people are always going to argue about who did this or that... or who didn't. a lot of it is speculation. i've never heard anything about Hyori admitting she's had plastic surgery done or not.

but really... who cares? it's not only Koreans that have gone under the knife, but people from other countries as well.

Alright here's the rundown of the statistics for the year 2002 for all you vanity freeks. A more interesting statistic would be how many of the surgeries are blotched leaving the patient scarred for life

Bad joke, I know peoples lives and self esteem are at stake here. With the exception of Hong Kong the people willing to go under the knife are European and south American countries.

i wonder what 2005 figures are
wait, haha, i don't really care that much =D

Actually I have seen on the news before that there alot of plastic surgery happening in Asia, because suppoesedly Asia people especially Korean are obsessed with beauty. That is what news told me.

Also alot of Westerners go to places like Singapore to get plastic surgery because it's really cheap.

Anyway, I am not surprised Korean stars get plastic surgery, because stars from all countries and races do. They need to stay looking hot oterwise they might now be popular no more. This is especially relevant to women.

When you look at statistics you should really calculate how the percentages relate to each other. You might still find that Korea has a high number of plastic surgeries.

Calculate the statistics how? They are per capita. I do remember seeing a television program as well about plastic surgery, but it wasn't so much as everyone was getting it done in Asia so much as it is a relatively new thing in many countries there. And it seemed like huge numbers of people and clinics were opening, but really they were just catching up to the same numbers that the western world was at, but in a very much shorter timeframe. Anyway someone else post more stats if they can find them.

I believe that Kwon Sang Woo got his eyes done to get the double fold...he admits to it too... and I think the girl that played in full house got her eyes done too... and she got a bad job..if you look closely in full house when she's standing in the light you can she the scars

I know a doctor in Korea(met him while working in Japan) and have many Korean friends(non-American Koreans). He said the need for plastic surgeons has increased by over 70% within the past few years. Of the patients, most of the girls have had surgery from Nose to chin and eyes. I myself have only lived and worked in Japan so I cannot say much but upon asking my Korean friends if that was a popular thing to do they replied that it was common graduation gifts from parents. Believe it or not, don't care, just saying what actual Koreans think is the case.

Here's something from the BBC if it helps.

I think that getting surgery for double eyelids are typical. It's not as serious as doing the other parts of your face. Maybe that's because it's barely noticable, except the obvious; you can see that the single eyelid had turned into a double eyelid. Lol

you and i must hang around different korean acquaintences and friends, casue the ones that i know and hang around have got the noses and eyes that God gave them.

surgery there isnt more common than in america, i thougth we already had that discussion, this is teh old

I've posted hundreds of pictures of celebrities (over 140 of them) in this thread:

http://www.d-addicts.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=20170

The girl in my avatar hasn't had surgery. The girl in my sig hasn't had surgery. No, SHK hasn't had surgery. The vast majority of all the pretty Korean girls I've ever known have not had surgery and certainly don't need it, though surgery does happen- just as it does every other developed country in the world.

more before n after pics pls ^^

im going to s.korea this jan ... wonder will the streets be filled with hot ppl ... hehe...


i don't want to look bad..hehe..

question 1

question 2

question 3


they were a monster before plastic sergery

the only person i can recognize is kim sun ah. (or is that her? o_o)

im sad that kim sun ah had surgey. SHE WAS MY HEROINE! jebus.

i dont know but it seems like bae yong joon had one too...

You should look for Uhm Jung Hwa's before pictures. She looks like a straight up man. LOL

Hyori's all natural o_0
she hasn't had any surgery.
gosh, people. use your eyes.
she looks exactly the same.

Here are pictures of celebrities that never got plastic surgery:
Kyu Hae Sun


Han Ji Min


Han Hyo Ju


Sometimes people can change. :] Single eyelids can become double, and vice versa, but it mostly happens when you are a kid.

The reason why Korea is so popular with their plastic surgery image is because they're GOOD at it. Korea has amazing techniques that are flowing towards the other asian countries as well. You seriously think all those actors have huge eyes, small nose, sweet mouth, and perfect "egg" (or so they call it) shaped face? Psh, no. Korea is FAMOUS for their sanding of the jaw area, needling of the eyes, and all those small little things that can be considered "grown out of".

Whaaaat??? Kim Sun Ah!! This is a real shock to me

Still a big fan but... you know... now I look @ her just a lil differently

I've had a crush on Kyu Hae Sun ever since I first saw Boys Over Flowers. It's good to see that she hasn't undergone any surgery, but who knows how long that's going to last!!

well.... korea does have alot of surgeries.....
but believe it or not, its ranked 13th place in the world.....

1st is america
2nd is mexico
the rest, im not sure... but its in a random order of
brazil, japan, germany, italy, and spain.....

that goes the same for celebrities....
i believe america and japan has more celebrities that underwent surgeries...
just that records dont show much on japan, since they get it done in other countries like america or korea....

If it's a girl,
if she's korean,
if she's a celebrity,
plastic surgery.

wow! i love Koreans so much and most of the time i would never think they have a single flaw O_O i am from America and prob the whitest person in VA lol and I know a lot of people that got surgery lol Both of my aunts have had tons of plastic surgery and i think its funny. i personally would never get plastic surgery no matter how ugly i think i am because someone in this would would like me lmao but celebrities i totally understand but i would prefer if they didn't because Asians are BEAUTIFUL!! i don't really pay attention the the people that get plastic surgery...except Michael Jackson...who wouldn't notice that O_O

eh...a great percentage of the people who live in seoul get plastic surgery. (mostly double eye lid surgery)
the overall percentage of south korea is not as high...but everything is just concentrated toward seoul.
i swear one day i was walking around in apbkujung and stopped to wait for someone to arrive. just from my location (which was stil smaller streets) i was able to count 6~7 plastic surgery places within viewing distance from my location. ahaha.
a lot of the people in seoul don't think of at least doing your eye lids as a big deal. parents promise kids that if they get into a good college as a graduation present they'll do the double eye lid surgery for them and such.
my aunt works in the korean tv industry and i always thought she was freaking beautiful but even so after she entered the industry she's had her eyes, chin, nose, and boobs done but most of the poeple she's around think that's nothing.
even around my friends a lot of them has at least had double eye lid surgery and hair removal surgery.
i don't think most people think of it as a big deal but people don't blatantly talk about it either. eh...

I always thought Han Ji Min and Han Hyo Joo looks so cute in that normal but natural kind of way......I didn't really think that they didn't have cosmetic surgery cause I had an impression that all of them do. This makes me even more happy.

Han hyo joo had plastic surgery.

cause korean's surgery are rumors promoted by a biased idiotic hypocrit country (not going to mention name to avoid flame)
surely korea has alot of double-eyelid surgeries, but not as much compared to other countries
south korea is ranked 15th in terms of surgery statistics believe it or not...
i mean korea's medial success naturally attracts and brings attention and u hear more facts about them, so its a given you hear alot of korea's controveries as well...
thats why most people think koreans have alot of surgeries, cause alot people on tv does so, which is generalized upon the entire country


here, since people are curious of the truth about the surgery rates...
why not just let them know the real truth?

I've been to that site awhile ago and I was surprised to see that korea wasn't even ranked in the top 10. This site also lists unsuccessful surgeries too so there's always risk involved. You got to be very determined to go through with the surgery bearing in might that if things goes wrong, it might scar you for life.

oh well, truth hurts..

but yea. i guess some people nomatter what country they are from, they think they were unjustified or done in wrong the way they were born... so i guess they think undergoing surgery is simply saying "i deserve better life then this"...
i dont blame them for that, considering nobody likes to be born ugly...

Yup truth does hurt. This is a sad reality but also a very interesting subject. But I don't really blame Korean actresses or singers for doing plastic surgery because audience rather want to see their "beloved" person still looking pretty and denying the fact that they went on a surgery than being old and ugly.

However, it was very surprising to me that some members of 2NE1, Girls' Generation, and WonderGirls look suspicious, considering how young they are. It was shocking for me to see their "before" pics in allKoreanGossip.com.

I guess most Korean actress do surgical procedures to change how they look right now ....I have read about 2nE1 have done surgery but I guess Sandara Park is a natural beauty ???but she looks the same as before so I presume she doesnt do any surgical procedures as for wondergirls I guess some of them have done it

the only potential member in 2ne1 that without doubt have undergone surgery is PARK BOM, she´s undeniable different from before her debut as 2ne1. I´m not quite sure of how much she´s done, but definitely the eyelids, they´re so unnaturally thick now, she was very cute before and now as well, but I prefer her face before as her current face look kinda fake-cute. As for the other members, I don´t think they´ve had anything done, for instance CL and Minzy, both of them look like average asian girls ^o^.

Everyone all over the world gets plastic surgery..Korea is just not as "taboo" about it.

I mean, what is wrong with plastic surgery? Hell, If I got money to spend on it, I sure would done it. Speaking openly about this takes a lot of courage. Hollywood "beauties" cross their hearts that they didn't have any, in my country also, but it is natural - if you don't like the colour of your hair - you dye it. If you don't like your nose - you fix it.
One should be careful though. It's highly addictive:)

Yeah, but they spend thousands of $$$

If they have, who can restrict them from being spent?
Not my money, I don't care how much they spend for it.

another korean star KARA's Goo Hara admit her plastic surgery: double eyelids

I can't really understand what's wrong with Asian people. I would kill to get my eyes like this, and they just make them bigger. Well one desires what one cannot have, I guess.
Do everything, but not the eyes, please!

This topic is interesting. There are a lot of pretty Korean stars, and personally I don't care if they have had plastic surgery or not. But it is a stereotype that majority of the females from Korea.

I have friends who have done it. I heard it's cheaper in Korea. One went to Seoul and got it done and the place she did it threw in eyebrow tattooing at a discount.

I totally agree with you.
If I had the money I'd do it, too. (But unfortunately that's not the case. )
I really don't mind if korean actress/singers had plastic surgery. While watching
a drama or PV I'm not like "omg she had plastic surgery? I won't watch it anymore" I mean, who cares ?

Yes, you're absolutely right. While watching someone on the screen, I'm not gonna focus only on the appearance, it's pretty stupid. Does double eyelid surgery make someone better or worse actor/actress?

hyori is natural. she looks exactly the same when she was much younger

lot of people speculate because some are just jealous and make rumors like this thread

it's true some have gone through surgery but you have to expect this from people who make a living out of their image. hollywood stars do it as much do other people who make a living out of their image
