Can you really blame the people for getting plastic surgeries when the whole country is toxic and constantly reminds you how ugly you are and how you dont fit the beauty standards?

i saw some documentaries about the plastic surgery boom - especially in asian countries and one quote stuck with me: "if i can look better, why shouldnt i do it?" rather than embracing what is beautiful as it is. the sad aspect that gets lost within that ideal: the more you change yourself to fit the standard, the less tolerant the industry is going to become by natural beauties = pushing self-hate more and more.

Park min young was so pretty when she was younger.

For me transformation of Yoo In Na and Lee Da Hee was most shocking.

Honestly lee da hee shocked me, she's so gorgeous I didn't know she had work done on her

Park Min Young always looked pretty even before she got work done

But Lee Suhyuk's face is still the same as when he was young. He's just really too handsome

I need a part 2 of this video. I just love it when they tell the truth instead of denying it like most k-celebrities usually do (some probably because of their companies). It's not like its a crime, but its always nice to see them owning their truth and clearing the rumors about (in most cases) the very visible changes in facial appearance when comparing their before and after debut pictures.

As a Korean-American, I personally wouldn’t get plastic surgery even though I’m not fond of my nose. Surgery is surgery. Not only is it expensive, but risky and painful. However, I also believe it’s a personal choice. Plus, I can’t imagine how much pressure there is in any entertainment industry. While I do admire the beauty of K-pop and K-drama celebrities, I’ll just stick with skincare.

Was surprised that Lee dong wook isn't on this list. To me he is the most shocking transformation. He can barely move his face now. I think he is handsome but he has had a lot of work done.

I first (accidentally) saw Lee Soo Hyuk on what happened to be his debut work on tv-series, titled "White Christmas" many2 years ago, because the way he looks today, only much, very much skinnier (i guess since he was probably still doing modelling too at that time). And so, like everyone else here, i was majorly shocked to see him appear on the list, the first one at that. 😅 Dude just gained muscle and weight over the years, i dont see anything need to be fixed with his facial features, even the plastic surgeon would perhaps go,"BUT WHY!?" if he happens to ever think of getting one. 😊

I always thought Park Min Young was so cute & pretty even when she just debuted before she got all plastic surgery but apparently Knetz kept hating on her looks saying her nose is too big and she is too chubby etc. They made her insecure and eventually she got plastic surgery. She still look gorgeous now but I personally think she had such a natural charm before the plastic surgery. She was pretty even then. So sad she didn’t think so.

minyoung looked so beautiful before and after surgery, such an natural beauty 😫💓

The Min Young lady looked way better before the surgeries, IMHO. She was incredibly pretty in a natural way, but after the procedures she lost the sweet uniqueness of her face. But the saddest thing is that she still finds fault in her looks...

Plastic surgery is a vicious cycle. It’s a personal choice, but when it becomes an entertainment “ideal”, it skews how the public views what is attractive. When or if these people have children, will they not think their children are attractive?

I panicked when I saw Soo-hyuk first on the list but was relieved when I checked him out in his latest work, Tomorrow. Wew he still looks the same. 😮‍💨 I love his vampire look! I hope he doesn’t give up what makes him unique! He had great chemistry with Kim So Eun on Scholar Who Walks the Night and I actually loved his romance with So Eun than the male lead, Lee Jun Ki’s.

The thing I find most shocking is that a height of 5'5 at 98lbs is considered the perfect beauty standard in Korea. Im almost 5'5 and weigh 110lbs and I look like a skeleton. There's no way that her curves support that weight. She either weighs more than that or her curves aren't natural. That being said, from what I could tell she looked like she's more of a healthy weight in a good way.

THEY LOOK SO GOOD. Lol. I got to say the doctors in korea have great skills. None of them are excessive.

Soo Hyuk... ... ...looks the same or I'm blind

Park Min Young has been pretty even from her old visuals. regardles if they have done procedures or not. if they are already attractive,It doesnt even matter. it just encances them aesthetic wise.

I'm not sure how I ended up here but my first thought about the sharp looking shots of the 'vampire guy' was literally FINALLY ! A UNIQUE LOOKING KOREAN ARTIST'S FACE! Glad he didn't change too much as he stands out in a good way. Evidently need to watch something with him now.

I think Lee Soo-hyuk still looks the same? Why is he on the list? During fashion weeks, models are known to diet. Skinny or bulky, he's amazingly sexy.

Lee seunghyuk looks handsome before and after. He was already looking so good before

Lee Soohyuk literally looks the same, what do you mean?

Lee soo hyuk has face features which looks too perfect for human, and I don't think it's because of plastic surgery he's just too beautiful for people to accept it.

I think soo hyuk has a same face.. he just getting older and mature for me

I don't think Lee Soo Hyuk had plastic surgery. Your information was from 2017 right? I watched wgm of Hong Jonghyun and he's one of his friends and he looks exactly the same and that's from 2014. If he had plastic surgery how can you explain that he had plastic surgery at 2017 but has the exact same look from 2014 and 2022? 😂 Magicccc

The sad thing is after the surgery they all start to look similar to each other and they lose any individuality. also, they look less and less Korean.

After realizing how much work everyone got done and how 'ok' it is I feel the need to get some work done too but im trying to fight against my feelings and embrace my own beauty

I mean the lee soo hyuk actore literally looks the same as before i agree that his nose looks different when he was super skinny but i saw an high school picture and still looks the exact same so idk

Wow this was good!! Lee Da Hee and Lee Da Hae love them both. Thank you for sharing this

Lmao soo hyuk basically buffed up, it wasn’t plastic surgery 😂😂

I wish Park Minyoung didn’t do much to her nose that it looks too fake. I just find it uncomfortable to watch her in any dramas. idk if its just her acting or her face but yeah i just wish these actors and actresses wouldn’t do a lot of ps even when they dont need it. Bcs sometimes even when they look ‘too perfect’ they just appears to be very weird as actors¿ like most of the times i cant relate to her scenes or actings bcs she would appear so emotionless at times. I dont mind them beautifying their faces but there are always limits to it. I know she had insecurities, i do too but i wish she didn’t change her face to that extent. She was already pretty before that. Trust me, her before is already prettier than most of us here. Plus, she might like what she looks like at the moment bcs the PS looks okay to her, but when she gets older, her face will look so weird with obvious hints of ps

The actress from City Hunter has had the most improved look since grade school photos I’ve seen online. I’m surprised you didn’t share them in this video. She looks like a completely different person. Doctors made her pretty. Kim HyunJoong was born gorgeous.

Park Min Young was always known for being pretty even as a child. I know people think everyone who changed appearance did plastic surgery but that isn’t always the case. I lost baby fat and grew older so my looks changed. Interestingly everyone assumed I had plastic surgery. Nothing could change anyone’s mind even though they saw me every day. I guess reason goes out the window. 🙄

Their surgeons are so good. They made them look natural.

This is why all celebrities in Korean look the same to me (ok i exaggerated there). The really exact standard they have for beauty is making them all look similar to each other. I find that really creepy and i dont even find that standard legit.

Thank you for mention Kim Hyun Joong. His answer was in wise n humor ways as always

That beautiful actress (Love and Forecasting) who was very honest about her surgeries was always cute before any surgeries. This is why I believe she looks really good with her changes.

'Fantastic, please continue to think that' that's a boss line right there.

after reading 'if i had your face' by frances cha which deals about insane beauty standards in south Korea, my heart goes out to all the koreans out there who have to go through so much.

If they do too much plastic surgery,they start to look weird and expressionless,

I love that channel. You get all the tea there.

Lee Dae hee looks pretty and gorgeous. She has refined appearance now. and acting too. Very obvious in Adamas

There is nothing to brag about why they did surgeries and why shouldn't they do it... People who tends to take decision on themselves are more comfortable about the results, but the drawbacks comes when the society started to brag about their life..even though they are Celebrity they are still humans, like ordinary people.

I don’t think ps is the problem I think society and people insecurities get the best of them and they worry about other thoughts on them instead of there self.

Everyone in Hollywood has had Plastic Surgery.

Park min young is an example how people dont have to hide the truth n focus on your goals

The one who won the beauty paegent was stunningly beautiful before she erased her distinctive features with the surgery. Same thing the Boys over Flowers actor. The wig or whatever he had on his head coupled with the plastic face ry made him look odd. Thankfully he could both act and sing. The vampire looking guy is just a work of art.

Lee Soo Hyuk still looks same man just naturally lose and gain weight 🙁 and even if any of them got don't you think they were forced by someone ☹️ like agency, society and people like you who are still judging their looks if they looked better before or after

I'm ok with it, as long as I can still recognize them and so long as they're talented.

I am happy for people who had surgery. They look happier are able to overcome their insecurities.

gosh, most of these actresses didn't even need plastic surgery. I love the naive Min Young than the sculpted one now. She had her cuteness and natural beauty back then. Her face now just looks too sharp and starts to show off the work done. The thing with plastic work is constant maintenance and the addiction. You will never get satisfied, that's the problem.

And now you have a country that not only has surpassed many other on toxicity concerning plastic surgery, skin care, high end fashion and being the best (school/suicide) but also has the largest debt per capita in developed countries on the GLOBE. Good job!!!! For all the higher ups for promoting this on the younger generation. Not only will they be remembered as actors, singers, models and such but also the ones bringing Korea down to it's knees. Hopefully no one will come to help them fix their inherent need to reach extreme levels when it will crash; the Institute of International Finance has already revealed that South Korea's household debt to GDP ratio was 104.2%, Hong Kong followed South Korea with 92 percent, followed by the United Kingdom (89.4 percent), the United States (79.2 percent) and Thailand (77.5 percent).

Hong Soo Ah must have went to the surgeon's office with a photo of Tong Liya's photo because she looks exactly like her! I love that she's not ashamed of getting work done.

Fact - Every Korean celebrity do cosmetic plastic surgery...

I can’t wait to live in a world where people define beauty their own way. These “beauty standards” are overrated and are made by people who are trying to project their own insecurities on others. I come from a country where curves and thickness are celebrated (and I am pretty slim by the way). Most men in my country believe the curvier the woman is, the more attractive she is and slim women like me always get weird comments. Fortunately for me, I have never let anyone tell me what I am or am not. I then moved (during my college years) to live in a country were my body type was celebrated and people would literally starve themselves to look like me. It made me wonder what the actual beauty standard is then, and I realized it’s all a scam. I concluded that, beauty is what you say it as an individual because it’s not only skin deep, but comes from within. I always say; If I say I’m beautiful, then I AM beautiful and the rest of the world gets the body, face or whatever I give them, it’s as simple as that!

She looked absolutely STUNNING in High Kick 😥

The only thing I'm happy about plastic surgery is when the client is happy with it and they actually look stunning.

I do agree with the opinion that plastic surgery is indeed a personal preference, and it's not like you commiting a crime. Also, its better for me if they accepted and stands with the fact that they get job done, cause at some point people these day and many fans of an idols and actor/actress are justifing their favs beauty as an puberty an called them natural when its not. Puberty can't change our bone structure, so it doesnt make sense at all. For me this is the main problem that make people piss off these day cause by those fact women especially can't see their face and stuff in a positive way anymore.

That's why I like Song Hye Kyo and Sandara Park 👑😍💗 they are both natural beauty, vampire Goddess and they looking younger than their age, beautiful without make up.

I don't think soo Hyuk did plastic surgery! He just added weight! Which i personally like. The man is JUST PERFECT even when he was young!! And he just gets more handsome as he grows older! We love him so much.

Park Min Young keep going, don't stop.

Kim Hyung Joong - I barely recognize him 😂. And Minyoung had naturally loverly face before her surgery, after she had it done it’s kind of not making her apprerance outstanding without her great performance.

I'm confused about Ji Changwook. This video showed articles that mentioned about the actor's statement regarding plastic surgery they've got, but this video highlighted only the first part of Ji Changwook saying he went to the clinic, BUT the next part was about his doctor discouraging him from going through the procedure, so he left.

Soo Hyuk’s looks is still the same, the only difference is that he aged and started to do work outs, it’s just glow up not plastic surgery.

Park min young is very beautiful 😍 she doesn’t look different

Honestly.. I find them all amazing...before and after..These young people are talented... Walk and look with class...American young people... Should take a looj

There all gorgeous before and after and we live in a world where if something is upsetting you and you choose to have PS then that’s your right . The most shocking thing is how thin these actresses are honestly 5’4.9 inches tall with a body weight of 44kg is almost 7 stone like how these girls are seriously underweight 44kg isn’t even on the bmi scale it starts at 45kg . I mean children weight more than this . It must be so hard to try and stay that low weight wise my jaw is on the floor. These ladies are gorgeous absolutely stunning but I often wonder how honestly can they sustain being so skinny .

Idk what's the big deal of plastic surgery ! Not all who undergone plastic surgery became actors/ model etc ..they were already beautiful people but needs some enhancement ..either plastic/ organic , what matters most is the talent skills and personality ❤❤❤👏👏👏👏

their looks were so cute and innocent

I strongly believe that most pf the Korean actors and actresses have had surgery even my fave Rowoon, its obvious!!

I used to go to IKEA weekly before the pandemic. Interesting enough, there always some couples going there. I started noticing that nose job is easy to identified. Because there are limited choices available.

Lee Suhyuk also wears makeup and lost weight .. Its obvious he didnt get surgery

Lee soo hyuk , lee da hee I didn’t expect tbh they look so good ✨ i have nothing against plastic surgery do

Once the surgery done, their face lost that organic beauty that their original face once had.

I dont see plastic surgery on lee soohyuk face maybe im stupid🙂

6:20 The left side face is actually natural Korean face , almost all Koreans have face like that but many of them change it these days they change it in highschool even in middle school that's why we don't often get to see this raw natural beautiful face of them but if you look at old people or Korean ahjumma/Ahjussi you'll see that they've this shape of face . Idk why they don't accept the shape of face they've and instead go for small face!

Let them be..if that what will makes them happy and more confidence

Even without knowing I could swear some of these actors had something done to their faces!!! Couldn't be natural.....

I'm a Triple S since SS501 debut so I knew Kim Hyun Joong was really handsome even back then so it wasn't a big deal that he did that procedure because he looks the same or at least for me. You can't tell he got plastic surgery only by looking at him because he's still natural compared to other idols and actors.

I think Soohyuk just got more matured? i mean he's 35 now. For me he still looks the same... but if he got done any plastic surgery then it's fine hshs.

Korea had major glow ups. Good for them. They used plastic surgery in their favor. Boosted their beauty standards and cosmetics skincare etc.

They all look gorgeous before surgery.

This is definitely not a list of most CRAZY ones hahah. And Solbi wasn't even mentioned!

Didnt Soo-Hyuk kinda look the same on tomorrow?

I’m glad that some actors feel so comfortable revealing that they had plastic surgery considering how some people see it as a crime or something… always pointing it out when someone mentions a persons beauty and pretty much shaming them for that. Having plastic surgery is a personal choice it shouldn’t be our business. Whether it’s for medical reasons or just because your not satisfied with your look you shouldn’t be shamed. Since for many plastic surgery can be a way to change your life and change how you feel about yourself. I’m all for natural beauty but I’m not against people who have had work done because it’s not my business to comment on.

Min young is drop dead gorgeous I can not believe she thought she wasn’t pretty.💔

Lee soo hyuk looks the same

Park Min Young is a sad girl who didn't like herself when she was adorable and now looks sad sad sad...I just can't watch her, and if she reads this I will say, you did look wonderful...don't be sad.....

Amazing topics

No wonder I felt something was different with Ji Chang wook. I wasn’t wrong after all. Still, he is one good looking man 🤍

1,65 tall and 44 kg?! Don't call this "normal", please. She's 6 kilos bellow normal.

The problem that NO ONE TALKS ABOUT. Is that plastic surgery looks DATED after a decade or so. This happens in hollywood. The kardashians "look" that everyone wanted BACK THEN now looks very fake and cheap. Bbls,big boobs tiny waist. Now its overly done and they look like wax figures. Their faces look weird when they talk-how it moves. People now are taking out their fillers from their lips. Too much plastic surgery looks bad. I hope people realize its highly addicting .

part 2 pretty please

Insecurities can never get erased nor the demands can honestly satisfy you if it does what's the point of living

Lee Soo Hyuk bad boy look was very unique but sadly he change it. But what’s matter is that he is happy after changing it. They all are good actors and actresses. They were right about getting more roles after getting plastic surgery. Nobody would hire you if you don’t look right to them, even if your acting is at the very top.

There's nothing wrong with getting plastic surgery as long as you don't come away from it looking worse or like a freak show. Some people get it and the doctor just messes their face up and body as well.

Lee Soo hyuk💕

Wow, got a lot of interesting knowledge of kpop form this video.
