What are the trending Korean Beautiful
Faces?
As the market for cosmetic surgery increases, trends do as well. Kpop idols and celebrities set the beauty standards for male and female patients. Therefore, what is considered as Korean beautiful faces differs from generation to generation.
Kpop music and Korean drama play a huge role in how people look at attractiveness. It is very common for patients to ask a plastic surgeon in clinics,
“I want to look like this person”. Moreover, there is this expectation to look beautiful and perfect. It’s not surprising, since Korea’s soft power is greatly influencing other countries’ perspectives on beauty.
Korea continues to be one of the world’s best places to receive cosmetic plastic surgery. The most in vogue surgeries are double eyelid, rhinoplasty, and facial contouring. One can even argue dental braces are a type of cosmetic surgery.
Furthermore, men and women want to wake up every morning confident about their looks. In the digital age of social media, first impressions and how you look is important. This also applies to job advancement, not just dating.
In an episode of Radio Star, a South Korean talk show, actress Hong Soo Ah told the interviewers that she had surgery done so she could be casted in different roles. She stated, “I always felt that I was being limited as an actor. I was always playing these lighthearted, playful, youngest daughter-like roles. But I wanted access to a wider range of roles, and to play characters with more depth.”
Whatever the reason, either it is to cover a birth defect or have a tummy tuck—it is all about feeling good about one’s self.
