Discussion on Medicalization of Korean Beauty in Pop Culture

Discussion on Medicalization of Korean Beauty in Pop Culture

Hello!

I thought your Wiki page was an interesting start to a conversation that has not been talked about enough in mainstream media. We oftentimes see so many of these Korean idols being subjected to skin whitening treatments and plastic surgery so that they all look flawless on TV and when meeting fans. I would suggest going more in depth about plastic surgery, since it is such a huge issue for Korean idols - I have read that potential Korean idols have been pressured to look a certain way and alter their appearances, so you could possibly find a news article that talks about this. Moreover, I believe that adding in photos would be helpful in letting the reader know the 'before' and 'after' of plastic surgery and medicalization of such people. Overall, it's an interesting topic to talk about and I'm glad you wrote about it!
