Age?GAF, What is this sorcery? o_0;
Lol yupFixed.
I see Stephen Fry.
So just like the real versions.On a side note that man looks badass. Like he is in a Korean version of Mr. and Mrs. Smith. Except the adopted some random kids.
Flat on the bottom, round on top.So I assume they all have shit done to their eyes?
But even with plastic surgery they don't look the same? Makeup and being of a similar age, with a similar pose for the photo are where the similarities begin and end.
It's like saying all black soccer players look the same, they don't, they're similar because they are a similar age, similar build because of the sport , and usually have similar crazy haircuts because of lack of fashion sense.
This seems to be the full story?

That's more than a little creepy.
So these are them without make-up. From the Kotaku link.
Kim Yumi is the quintessential surgically-engineered swan.
Eh, also looks like weight loss and carefully applied makeup.
Yeah that's not true lol.In South Korea there are plastic surgeons on practically every street corner in Seoul. They are like McDonalds.
Side by side comparisons. Not surgery, lots of make up and photoshopping though. Holy crap. There are so many every day girls on the streets in Korea that look way better than these girls.
North Korean women all look the same, too.
So who receive the award when one of them win, the doctor, the makeup artist or the girl?
Apart from the uniform, they don't lool alike at all.
Huh? No, they do actually look different if you look at them individually. They just have really similar make up and the same photoshop artist has gone at them. Photoshoppers in Korea change a LOT. Even on passport photos they almost always slim the face down, change noses/jawlines and whatnot.It seems that all of the girls have same bodies and face is just shopped on the head. Some of the faces have different perspective than head itself lol.
See, it is more complicated than some are making it out to be. It is about socioeconomic capacity to do it in the first place and strong competition toward an ideal. There are realities behind it that are shared in plenty of other places.
Yes, semantic backtracking, as completely expected. If that is what you meant, I think it is ridiculous and something not done in conversations about any other international analysis of tends, but I guess you are free to makes claims of a very uncommon nature to make it seem like you are making Korea out to be an exclusive case if you so wish.
It has nothing to do with me being special or above you. It is simply that I know these statements treating Korea like a special case are false. Yes, I will look down on false claims.
If you're going to jump into an old argument, at least see it through to see what happened in it before you join so as to correct what misunderstandings you can on your own. Follow that conversation you quoted and you will find people who did say it was unique. The one who continued the argument eventually clarified that he meant unique only insofar as having the highest total number of surgeries was unique, and I explained how I assumed that he meant something more significant because such a statement is rather empty in my view. The other person who said it was unique never clarified the exact nature or extent of their statement.Correct me if im wrong but not one said that the amount of plastic surgery in south korea was special or unique until you brought it up, seriously.
Plenty of people don't like it because they seem to misunderstand it. Usually when I argue, I go by what people wrote, and I clearly explain what I understood their statement to mean. I'm not going to "get the gist" and assume the best. I really don't like arguments of "they weren't trying to be racist they just said something racist" because I really don't care to pursue anyone by their character. I don't know them personally, and I can't know them with certainty over the internet. All I can know and interact with is what they say, so I will deal with their statements.and that some people have suggested that everyone in Korea is obsessed with surgery but i disagree with how your going about it.
That tumblr on that page is amazing. It's crazy seeing all the work the guys get done too.

The smooth skin is photoshop.I'm still ignorant as to what 'plastic surgery' entails. Like, is it more just than just a few physical alterations, because all their faces look so ridiculously smooth and the blemishes are non-existent (maybe that's just photoshop at work).
