A dark aspect of SK culture, you usually have to turn yourself into plastic to get anywhere in entertainment and a few other professions where you are on camera. Plastic isn't beautiful.

You have to include a picture of yourself on a resume.

See this?

This is two towers of jawbones from plastic surgeries in one South Korean medical office.

Wow. Just looked this up and...I never knew about this jawbone surgery. Turns somewhat below average looking girl into a beauty queen. Somewhat.





Really nice results...I can 100% see why anyone would do it with that big of a leap.

Plastic surgery for some people is like getting tattoos. You get a bit of a addiction to it, and eventually you have to go to the doctor who makes you look like a cat.

Got it, so never trust in having good looking children when marrying a korean girl because she's probably a big fat ugly liar who had a ton of surgeries

Yeah, that's what you should think when you see an attractive person, that's a healthy way of looking at the world.

EDIT: Sniped.

that dude had to be fucking pissed

Was it Korea or Japan that has that whole "American eyes" thing going on where they got their eyes reshaped to be more European...yeah no idea why it's apparently called "American eyes" but that's the term I heard for it.

Can't say for sure if she's telling the truth obviously, but it seems more plausible to me. The kids being photoshopped like this makes a hell of a lot more sense..

Taiwanese model Heidi Yeh was 2 years into her career when she signed on for an advertising photo shoot for a plastic surgery clinic. What she didnt know at the time was that the resulting photo would damage her life and ruin her career.

Yeh originally signed up for the photo shoot in the early 2000s after being told that it would be a simple advertising campaign in print media for the clinic.

The ad featured Yeh sitting next to a model husband and three children that dont resemble their parents at all. The caption read: The only thing youll ever have to worry about is how to explain it to the kids.

The children in the advertisement were Photoshopped to give them a strange appearance.

Unfortunately for Yeh, people on the Internet noticed the image years later and turned it into various Internet memes.

After the meme images spread far and wide on the Web, news outlets began picking up the photo and writing about it as a true news story without doing any fact checking.

One Chinese newspaper, the Heilongjiang Morning Post, reported that the man successfully sued his wife for divorce and for monetary damages in response to her deceit that was revealed when she gave birth to an ugly baby daughter. The woman had gotten major plastic surgery prior to meeting the man, the newspaper said.

The newspaper later apologized for running the story without checking the facts, but by then the damage had already been done to Yeh. She estimates that she has lost over $100,000 in potential earnings due to the negative publicity.

Yeh recently went public about the story and is now threatening to sue the clinic and the modeling agency for about $150,000 in damages. The clinic argues that they obtained the right to use Yehs likeness in their ad campaign, and says it may sue Yeh for damaging its image.

I wanna know how the casting call for the kids went. "Hey, we need child models! The ugliest you can get!

Eh, it was just something I saw mentioned on this site once. I already looked into it and from what I can tell Koreans don't really consider themselves pursuing a more "western" look, and it's mostly just Western journalists trying to define the look in a way that suits them. So yeah, probably just more arrogant western biases like usual.

I mean, do you have like an example or such for reference?

Oh no, culture

Culture of plastic surgery. Getting their eye lids cut and pinned back is more common than not getting it done over there.

Pretty sure that's what was photoshopped - the kids aren't actually ugly, they just warped the fuck out of their faces to make this joke.

"The children in the advertisement were Photoshopped to give them a strange appearance."

ok what's the original look like then?

As in the original picture of the kids, if it really is photoshopped?

It's unlikely the professional who took the photo would have released an unedited version

That could be true, knowing what east asia is like...

They look beautiful, worth it.

Looks great. More people should do it.

I love how some jerkoff the other day referred to East Asians as "people of colour."

Yup. In Japan some people have the fold and some don't so the people who pursue no fold are chasing Japanese perfection. Generally speaking it's fairly ignorant to think of Asia wanting to chase foreign standards.
