my dad mentioned about how all korean artist have almost the perfect nose and with big double eye lids whereas among the locals have are button nose and often small and singled eyelids. this probably shows that many korean artist goes through plastic surgery just so to have that so called perfect features and to be beautiful.
do people really have such low self esteem in terms of how they look ? i guess its true especially in the mordern social context where the media plays a very big role in shaping people’s perception about certain things. being pretty with big eyes lusciouse lips and high nose bridge and a really slim body is what almost every girl would think is considered pretty and beautiful.
but do looks really matter or it is really what on the inside that counts ? i guess to a extend it does matter people always see someone based on how they look before approaching them . for example if a guy think that a girl is pretty and slim theres a higher chance that he will approach her as compared to a chubby girl.
yeah, i agree

In the society we live in, it is always a huge plus to be physically attractive. In this fast-paced world, we tend to place a huge emphasis on first impressions. As such, we tend to equate good looks with positive traits like popularity, intelligence, etc. As such, we like such people and want to be associated with these people. Those who are deemed physically unattractive will be termed as “outgroup” and inevitably find that people do not treat them as nice as they would to an attractive person.

Yeah, plastic surgery is quite a normal thing in Korea. Loads of girls get work done as birthday gifts.
Anyway, people base a lot of their attitudes towards strangers on physical appearance. There have been many social experiments done on this that prove this point, like an attractive lady asking for change for a parking meter compared with a guy asking for it. Sad fact is that good looks do get you further.
