일곱 번째 항목 (Seventh Entry)

        Plastic surgery in the past used to be something that was frowned upon, but these days, it's something common. In Korea, it's more common than ever. It's not just a nose job these days. These days, it's everything on the face. It's the jawline. It's the eyes. It's the cheekbones. Why is it necessary to endure such pain? Such horrible, and painful pains?

        Beauty. Expectations. Celebrities.

        Many are influence by the media to look a certain way. Imagine America's teens, only times twenty. It's that scary. In Korea it's hard to find someone how's the exactly Korean because all of the women from the age of 19 - 45 have had plastic surgery. Women in Korea - if they want to get married - have to look a certain way, or society will find them ugly. The "normal look super normal, while the pretty look super pretty".

        In a society where electronics keep society moving, seeing everything on the Internet can influence someone. When celebrities decide to get a part of them fixed, their before and after photos are released instantaneously on the internet. Normal can see that even celebrities have flaws, and they fix them. This being another reason to has plastic surgery.

        What about the family life? It used to be belief from Confucious that "tampering with the body bestowed by one's parents was a violation", and the individual would be discouraged of cremation. But today, it's different. Parents bribe their young girls of plastic surgery if they pass their classes, and make it to college.

        They think that plastic surgery is so successful, that they don't even realize the accidents that have arose from it. Today, society is beginning to notice that plastic surgery is constituting an obsession in women. If they surgery is unsuccessful, there have been cases where girls have killed themselves. It's that dangerous. It's getting to a point where self appreciation is gone from society.

        How will a person truly show their true self if they're always trying to look a different way? What doctors have noticed that all the girls who come in for surgery are all looking like a certain group of celebrities. They all have several faces they want, and that's not doing anything for society. This has to change.
