The worst part is Daehee was already a handsome guy. He didn’t need surgery at all. It’s so messed up how plastic surgery is so normalized in society these days.

The audacity for the nurses to use a phone while the patient is in critical

Should make a film about this woman. It's so hard to go up against a weak judicial system that favours big companies. She is an angel for her son and for every ones safety in koeea

Daehee was cute. He didn’t need plastic surgery. In fact, 99.999999% don't need it at all, ever. Screw toxic beauty standards that change every 5 seconds anyway. This crap is literally *killing* people.

Roughly a year ago I witnessed a lawyer in Gangnam with a huge sign informing the public about this exact issue. He was on his knees for hours a day in the cold. He lost the case and was trying to inform the public about how messed up the system is

I broke down crying when she got the law passed in his name. She’s a strong woman! 😢❤

Why is the Korean judicial system so bad? It’s terrible!

This is terrifying!!! 😮 This mother is the best mother a son could have. I hope she finds peace one day. I can't believe they didn't revoke the doctor's license!

I feel so bad for the mom.. she fight so hard for her son for what, 7 years? and the suspects only get 3 years prison and suspensions?? the mom suffers a bigger punishment by losing her son, and the suspects got nothing, this case disgusts me, rest in peace Kwon Daehee

I, don't understand why he felt that he needed surgery 🥺. He,was very handsome. Very heartbreaking indeed😭.

Ah! Plastic surgery, the indirect way of insulting someone's looks by pretending to worry about them.

I only just found your channel recently, but as a person with auditory processing disorder, thank you so much for including hardcoded subtitles. It's super helpful and is always super appreciated.

OMO, Daehee looked like he could be an actor. There was nothing wrong with his jawline. He's so good-looking that he didn't need any plastic surgery. I feel sorry for his mother. She's indeed a true fighter who tried to get justice for her son..

I have donated blood a bunch of times in My 50+ years. One time I was connected to an unknown faulty donation bag, so pretty much the minute blood went into the bag it leaked on the floor. The Blood Donation crew was so on top of it (the minute they noticed). They got the mess and Me cleaned up, and were all trying to make sure I was OK. If there's blood on the floor, urgency is needed.

that hospital director is slimey & the staff are negligent. The sentence feels like a slap on the wrist for all the pain both mother & son went through.

Daehee was super handsome, it's so sad he focused on a perceived flaw. You will ALWAYS find someone who loves you for real no matter what you look like!

☹️ bullying is a very big problem in korea. The boy was good looking in my eyes. I dont understand why he was bullied for his looks. Plastic surgery is dangerous in any country. The risks are high. Yet in some countries the plastic surgeons encourages it and in some countries like korea this has become part of culture. I think plastic surgery should only be done on people who medically need it. Or if their is congenital anomaly like cleft lip. We are raising the beauty standards which is getting oit of control☹️ Also what you said about training. If the trainee is for some degree or certificatiin then they are allowed to perform assissted surgery initally and later independently. This is not illegal than how do u think they will learn to perform surgery.

What a mother, utmost respect for her.

The fact that all those medical staff including the nurses were so unbothered. 🤦🏻‍♀️ I know deaths are not something new in their line of work, but being aware that it was out of their neglect, how do they sleep at night???

So sad. R.I.P Kwon Daehee. He was beautiful just the way he was. 😢

That poor mother. So strong though as she persevered. Never underestimate a mother and just how far she is willing to go to fight for justice for her children.

Kwon Daehee, you'll never be forgotten. You beautiful soul who had to leave us so early, may you rest in piece knowing that your dearest mother was fighting for you, and so many people were rooting for her. Thank you Megan to tell us this story and let Kwon's mother's voice to be listened.

😱😱😱 what?!?!? ☹️☹️☹️ he was totally fine before surgery 😢😢😢 what in the world was the surgery for? Unbelievably corrupt prosecutors!!! Daehee’s poor mother - what a fighter 😢

I think there was an episode in the drama "Taxi Driver" about a similar case. It's scary to think that someone else would be operating you without any knowledge. And thw audacity to say that wasn't his fault. Gosh people are reay scary.

It saddens me to think people as young as 17 think they should get plastic surgery to look better😢

As sad as it is for Dae Hee’s mother to lose him, she’s a real life superwoman and willing to go that far to get justice for her son, enduring all those harships along the way. Even also willing to fulfill her son’s wishes and create a law in memory of his name 😭

This is why you shouldn't bully someone for their look ! He was handsome. Lord may his soul rest in peace

I will share this on my FB account. The more awareness occurs, then will reform happen. It's so sad that this happens and loss of a medical license should also happen for violations, not just being sent to prison. Greed is the root cause of these terrible events. The only time I've seen a doctor in Korea was to treat an ear infection as a small child. I'm 56 now so no ill effects. I'm surprised that I survived a gangrene lower large intestine at a small hospital on welfare healthcare in the US.

Don't mess with Mother's Aint nothing stronger than a Mother's Love...

This case is heart breaking,he deserved better, no parent deserves to loose there son like this

a mother's love is indescribable. thank u for covering this case.

What that mother achieved was incredible and emotional. That woman should have a book, documentary and/or a film. Her relentless fight for his son and the way she put his name in the world must be known by everyone🥺💜

What a strong mother, fighting for her son ❤

How tf is a doctor going to blame you for losing too much of your blood during their surgery??

I feel so bad for his Mom. Daehee looked just fine the way he was and didn't need any surgery. Such a sad story all around.

One of the world's bestest mother, she brought to light an issue that gave justice to her beloved son and protected many others after him. My heart goes out to her and her pain, it's so hard to heal and fight for that, I hope she's still healing well and coming to peace. ❤❤❤

Thank you for sharing this Megan. I'm dealing with a lifetime of medical negligence and cruelty by the NHS - the state healthcare system of the UK. Thankfully I woke up just in time that for 23 years of my life - the NHS mental healthcare was the problem and I wasn't. Their torture began in 2000 and it wasn't until last year that things fell into place ... The story of the boy's mother, and her pursuit of justice and holding those accountable and not giving up - well, it struck a chord with me to the point I actually cried. I will hold the UK's healthcare system accountable for what they did to me - I am alive despite them.

Respect, a woman who doesn't let her feelings of grief take over but goes after the perpetrators. An example to many. Be strong!

what an amazing mother oh my gosh. not only did she get justice, but she fulfilled her son's wish. and it is not a easy wish to achieve either.

I don't normally cry when I listen to any kind of crime cases, but Daehees story and his mom's painful journey lasting almost a decade ripped through my heart. 💔 My he rest in everlasting peace. ❤

My heart goes out to Daehee mother its's hard to watch the sadness in her eyes. Love your channel I'm a big fan. Saludos from Venezuela ,South America.

Ugh this is so unfair and heartbreaking…. That poor mother to lose her son like that… Daehee was a good looking man he didn’t need that unnecessary surgery… I hope he’s resting in peace and that his mama finds peace… as for those “doctors” there’s karma for them how dare that they were not held responsible for his death

my heart breaks watching the mother in pain. its also infuriating how all the staffs were so nonchalant and very negligent about everything. they gave zero F's about the safety of their patients.

It seems as though there is no individuality promoted in SK. I have trouble telling these K-pop artists apart. Especially since the beauty standards are so brutal there. His mother deserves grace peace and healing. I hope she gets it one day. You never get over the losing of a child. Ever.

It’s sad to lose a loved one to sickness, it’s worse to lose them when they go under the knife by choice. The blame for his death is on the plastic surgery clinic and society, he was a handsome young man. God bless his mom and give her strength and may he rest in peace.

R.I.P 😢 you're handsome ,just the way you are . 😢 You don't need that surgery at all .

how come its 0.3% chance for the victims when its soo obvious of the malpractice, blood loss during surgery should not be like that at all. they did not even prepare for the blood before the operation since it should be a prevented how could you wait for emergency situations! every second counts.

How can you serve only a number of years in prison for causing someone's death? Also, the prosecution is so corrupt. They repeatedly dismiss any violation of medical law simply because he/ she is a classmate of the lawyer? How low and corrupt can they be? It's so frustrating listening to these kinds of cases. I can't believe SK's judiciary is this weak esp to corruption. It saddens me so much.

I love how you narrate your crime stories♥♥

Honestly, I find the increasing normalization and prevalence of cosmetic surgery is unnerving. Why have the Eastern cultures become so superficial and vain? The only plastic surgery that instill betterment of our society is that of reconstructive surgery. Having artificially enhanced looks may get one the attention (and sexual encounters) one seek, but it doesn't result in a beautiful baby.

What a tragic story and such great love and determination this mother had in fighting for her son and honoring his life by making sure his death not be in vain. God bless her and may Kwon Dae-Hee rest in peace.🪷

Wow. This is beyond ridiculous. Everyone who works at that hospital is a criminal. Thank the gods that mother was such a great person.

The mother’s efforts are testimony to the deep love she had for her son. Amazing woman. God blessed her efforts.

I'm in tears right now.

Thank you Megan for telling this case with real compassion and concern for the victims family the victims mother is a person to be admired and respected the world over 🙏🏼

So sad. 😔 Kudos to the mom. She is so brave. Thank you, Megan for covering this.

True fact: as an American English teacher in korea for years... when an American graduates high school parents buy them a car. When a korean girl graduates, she gets plastic surgery. Supposedly to help in all future life prospects. Sometimes i don't recognize my former students who later visit.

Wow, what a awesomely persistent woman, so much respect for her. Truly sad what happened to her dear son.

The mom was very courageous. 7 years of fighting and being persistent paid off. Daehee was handsome. A strong jawbone is very attractive on a man. ❤ If only he were surrounded by people who didn't belittle him.

This is really a heartbreaking for a mother. Hope they got all the justices served .

he so handsome…..i’m tearing up seeing how powerful motherhood could be. omg. bless her

Bless his mother for being so tenacious after such a needless tragedy. Shame to the gutless prosecution for not seeing justice get done. Pitiful. Hopefully the mother can open the eyes of Koreans to the rampant malpractice going on.

It saddens me to realise how people are so much consumed by the unrealistic beauty standards. I have no idea who decides what's beautiful and what's not. Reconstructive procedures which correct defects are acceptable, but undergoing "mandatory" procedures to get the 'perfect' face or look like an idol is plain stupidity. Why does our self worth have to be validated by what others think is good or bad? Avoid comparing yourself to other people- You're perfect the way you're!

Thanks for covering this, Megan. More attention should be paid to this issue because many people don't know the possible risks of disfigurement down the road. It's frightening how many people chase the perfect physical look...🙈💜

Daehee's mother is incredible..

Another amazing video, the quality of the production is topnotch. All of it further emphasized by your amazing narrative skills ! The story really moved me, Daehee’s mother is such a courageous woman, she deserves to find peace and solace. I can barely begin to imagine the pain she’s had to go through during her legal battle while grieving her son. It’s people like her who make the world a little bit fairer and a little bit better.

The plastic surgery norm must stop, especially in Korea. It is just sad and why shld people idolise those artiste or singers/influencers who obviously underwent plastic surgery? Isnt that cheating in a way to their audiences?

A mom's endless battle for her child. To all good moms out there, I salute all of you on your everyday sacrifices.

My hearts tears just flow with Daehees Mother... ❤️‍🩹 How brave in her heartbreak she was and will be always. I will pray for her and grieve with her as well as carry her beloved sons wish as I will never forget his name and contributions to the world. 🙏 She is a true warrior. ❤️

Oh a mothers love is so powerful! Nobody deserves such a good mother 😭

It's sad how even to this day people have to struggle for justice

This sounds like a movie😢 so heart breaking ..cant imagine her struggle and pain

Dear Megan, it's awesome how much your channel is growing. So deserving, keep up the kick ass work🎉🎉

ASMR voice, very calming. Even while hearing her speak about horrible stuff.

Your voice is so calming. The only way I can listen to these horrific tales.

What a loving mother 😢 Its so heartbreaking

People can make you feel inhuman, do they can feel good, bullying should be a criminal offense, people should be jailed really. People should have emphathy

It’s so sad to see such a lack of concern for someone’s life and so much suffering endured by both Daehee and his family for no good just because someone wanted some quick cash. I’m glad to see the Kwon Daehee law exists, so at least he gets to leave his mark after all… but that does NOTHING to ease the Kwon family’s pain or replace their loved one. I can’t believe this is even happening in the world today and good for you for bringing it to a platform that will help spread the word and maybe help bring even more change and less pain for others.

I love your voice. I could listen to it all day. Soothing and comforting. Your stories are captivating. Thank you .

THANK YOU AND GRATEFUL FOR SHARING THIS INFORMATION ON THIS PLAFTFORM🙌 Lots of cases out there is really devastating.

My filipino cousin went to Seoul to schedule his surgery. He temporarily lived there for 2 months because the clinic is booming with patients that booked earlier for their surgery. When he recieved the call for his surgery in may 24, 2022, he immediately went to the clinic. 17 hrs later, he was experiencing nausea and he cant rotate his eyeballs although the operation was just in the nose area(nosejob). After a week, the sutures where removed and was advised to go home as the process of care for the fresh wound would safely be virtual. When my cousin came home, he experienced the same stiffness in the eyes. He cant rotate his eyes from left to right. Top to bottom. So we became worried. After 2 weeks, his eyes swelled up, literally as he cant close his eyes anymore. It popped out like marbles. Immediately he was sent to the hospital. And when they poked out the swelling, its all thick blood and a gauze was then pulled near the lower eye lid. The doctors concluded that the surgeon(s) who performed the operation MISTAKENLY PERFORMED A DIFFERENT OPERATION, THEN CLOSED THE TISSUE LIKE GLUING A TORN BOOK COVER. The surgeons in korea performed a supposedly eye lid surgery, but then when they realized theyve performed a different surgery, they proceed to the actual operation requested by the patient and left the tissue open. He died 3 weeks post surgery.

I am just thinking of the pain Daehee suffered during the procedure and whose life was taken away because of the bunch of irresponsible medical stuff. I can't believe such a thing can happen in South Korea! Daehee was already a good-looking man, still he was bullied! These incidents will never stop until people realize that the definition of beauty is beyond someone's outer looks. I wish instead of feeling compelled for plastic surgery, he shared his distressing thoughts with his mother! South Korea is a land where almost everyone is sufficiently educated, but it's really shocking to see that some of them don't understand the real meaning of beauty! Daehee would be alive today if he was appreciated for who he was and maybe if he got proper counseling. The medical negligence also shows the poor transparency and accountability from government. How come a developed country like South Korea can run such a medical corruption! I salute the mother who continued her battle until proper justice despite facing multiple failures. Public awareness and parents-children communication should be more strengthened. Clinical counseling should be provided with children so that children like Daehee who think they do not look good enough, can be encouraged to prove their own worth and establish their own identities without being sad for their present look.

Such a beautiful, captivating and strong voice she have!!

just found your channel and this video then this story left me in tears. the mother's love and dedication T . T

Thanks a million for this case as I have not heard of it. I did hear about some cases here in the US where some have died during their plastic surgery operations. Surgery of any kind always comes with risks which is why I would never have any type of surgery that is not health related. I feel so bad for him and his family. His mother is a strong and loving mother who reminds me of my beloved late mother. He was already so handsome and did not need any kind of plastic surgery at all. Those who bullied him or anyone should be ashamed of themselves. There are bigger factors that come into play which are focusing too much on looks and bullying. South Korea really needs to improve and change those 2 issues plus others if they want to become a better society and create a better life for their people. If people were not so focused on looks, these plastic surgery clinics would not even need to exist and none of these cases would have ever happened. Looks fade with time, especially artificial looks which can deform your face down the road so always need to be maintained. You need to feel good about yourself mentally before anything. Plastic surgery is a quick fix that you may regret down the road. My heart goes out to his mom and family. Hope he is in a happier and better place now and that cases like this will not happen again. I sincerely hope people learn to look beyond anyone’s outer appearance which would help prevent these cases. Kwon Dae-hee did not die in vain as he left behind a legacy that will hopefully help spread awareness and save others. Kudos to his wonderful mother for making her voice heard!

My condolences & respect goes to the Mom❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️.

She's so genuine with her voice .amazing

My heart cry out for him n his mother unwavering battle justice served.....rest in peace beautiful soul.

OMG, this is so eerie! Even as a med student this gives me chills... Dae-hee's mom would have faced so much trauma RIP Daehee

Hello Megan, for me, I will never go under the knife regardless of how I look. On the other hand, Dr who practiced this kind of procedure without valid license and experience should be brought to justice.

Rest in peace ♥︎ the mother is so strong. They both didn't deserve this

He was totally handsome and need not have any plastic surgeries this shows how messed up the toxic beauty standard is and also how normalized plastic surgery is in Korea and the so called doctor said his jaw was bigger than average and that's why he had excessive bleeding?????bro I don't see it at all.....but also to add with this toxic beauty standard is the constant trauma they get from bullying which lead to this but still many ppl do that no matter how serious this issue is and how it is going to affect one's life...and what they are going through....I really teared up while watching this video and the pain she had to gone through watching his son in pain for thousands of time is.....just awful and her efforts really got him justice and the the law with his name is just amazing of how she helped him fulfill his bucket list.......

Love your narration skills! 👍 👍 What a great woman that old lady is.

I really love the depth of your voice, it really brings the calm settling horror of this.

This episode actually made me cry this poor mother. May his soul rest in peace after all his mom did in his name.

Megan we love you !

I had a korean student before that when she was in high school, her parents gifted her an eyelid surgery and I was so shocked but apparently it's normal there

he was so handsome. Rest in peace 🕊️ he seemed like a beautiful soul.

A perfect example of a mother’s unconditional love. Salute to Daehee’s mom for doing everything for her son. ❤

Dae hee he is already handsome and cute😢.. its so sad..
