I came to this conclusion through personal observations. Plastic surgery seems a lot more common for men and women on the peninsula compared with countries like Japan. One of my coworkers did a class activity of Korean stars before-and-after plastic surgery pictures. Seems popular with vloggers from the area as well. My ex girlfriend along with vloggers I've seen underwent a procedure on their eyelids. Looks unnatural to me. It's a shame because most Korean women are natually beautiful.
