The Illusion of Asian Beauty: Exploring the World of Cosmetic Surgery to Alter Ethnic Features

A search for "Korean movie star" or "Korean beauties" on Google will yield many results featuring women and men who have undergone significant alterations to their appearance, with features that often do not resemble those typically found in people of Korean descent. The monolid, for instance, is commonly eliminated, and facial shape is often narrowed and sharpened. It is estimated that over one-third of Korean women have had some form of cosmetic surgery. This trend is not limited to Korea, as it is also becoming increasingly prevalent in China and Vietnam. This raises questions about the presence of body dysmorphic tendencies within Asian culture. With such a strong emphasis on physical appearance, it is worth considering what it truly means to be Korean (Chinese, Vietnamese) when so many physical characteristics are being altered.
