Plastic surgeons are now the #4 highest paid profession in Korea (#1 among the doctors). According to a survey run by the International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, 1 out of 5 Korean women will get plastic surgery, putting Korea at #1 in the world by population.

1. [+4,231, -159] Pretty or ugly, vote up if you haven't had any work done

2. [+1,030, -143] I don't care how pretty girls get after getting plastic surgery but I don't like how they all seem to think that they were always naturally that pretty when they post on SNS and stuff ㅋㅋㅋ Don't act like you were born that way

3. [+830, -36] Everyone we see on TV all had work done and there's even that 'Let Beauty' program about perfect plastic surgery with advertisements everywhere about it so of course these results will naturally follow... The problem is that no one is talking about the dangers behind these surgeries and everything that can go wrong. Women are getting onto the surgery table without knowing a thing.. I'm not against plastic surgery but I do promote research. And please, stop shaving your jaws so much.. It's like you're all wearing party hats on your chin.

4. [+150, -121] Women are not to blame here but society.

5. [+95, -75] Instead of hating on the women, you should realize that the problem is how our society is focused on looks as a priority.

6. [+85, -39] Let's be honest, a lot of women can't compete for jobs because of how they look... Korea as a country itself prioritizes beauty over anything else which is why people are so willing to get plastic surgery until eventually becoming plastic surgery monsters...

7. [+82, -12] Our internet and TV shows all show one thing and it's that you'll be forgiven for anything if you're pretty and made as a joke if you're not. Koreans are a severe bunch of people.

8. [+66, -3] I just don't like the kids who got work done and claim they didn't ㅋㅋ

9. [+61, -16] Nose, eyes, breasts, wrinkles, jaw, carboxy shots... Practically everyone around me has had some type of work done but they all act like they haven't. I'm too scared and poor to get anything done but they keep pressuring me into doing it, saying I'll eventually cave in once I get older and wrinkly and that it's better to get work done early while I'm still young and pretty.

10. [+54, -22] It's the fault of our damn society.
