I think to some extent, we all do. For me personally, it is the removal of excess skin. I lost over 140lbs and that has negatively affected the way I view my body because I can SEE some of the muscle and definition, but it is blanketed by layers and layers of skin. I think that the comparison game we play is difficult and shifts throughout our lives. I do find Summer's point about age and "aging out of beauty" to be poignant. I taught my mother how to use eye shadow pallettes (I'm a licensed cosmetologist) and there are little to no tutorials or any tools out there for women in her age group. It is almost as if she doesn't exist because she's not within the confines of the industry's target market. People do not exist on a sliding scale of designed obsolescence, and it is sad to see that parts of the world are systematically built for that thought process to occur and come to fruition.
I'm a 40 plus transgender woman who by no means passes as a woman. Outside of the constant verbal abuse, fear of using public toilets and being misgendered by nearly everyone I meet, within the transgender community the pressure isn't just to pass but to be sexually attractive. I've considered surgery on nearly every aspect of my body, not necessarily to be sexually attractive, but simply to be able to exist in my skin and have the freedom to self express without constantly being reminded of my appearance. It's hard and can be soul crushing to go through life treated as a fraud in 'woman's face'. So, in the end I will probably have plastic surgery out of necessity and to simply blend in.
hey things happen. just its not on media everyday. dont be ignorant. probably you never hear about these incidents but it does not mean that it does not happen. in the US a lot of people believe that racism has been solved, which is not true (I hope you are not one of them).
Jenni is totally addicted to plastic surgery now, she says she happy but I don't see how she can find happiness in obsessively finding everything wrong with her face/body and "fixing" it.
Some comments below seem to point fingers and criticize the women who undergo plastic surgery (labeling them as "vain" and "stupid"), but I think it's important to note how the plastic surgery phenomenon is deeply rooted in US imperialism/occupation of Korea (which is touched upon starting @3:58). It speaks volumes about what Koreans perceive to be "beautiful" today and the still existing glorification of Western traits and ideals as things to emulate. To add, though there are more Korean women getting these surgeries today, a growing number of men are also actively seeking and going through cosmetic procedures, too.
@@jeffbriggs1987 it started then, it exploded as the K-wave exploded all over the world with Asia being the first in 2000 era, later the western world.
I have always held that the world would be much better if western countries hadn't dominated it with their ideals and forcing them down on the rest of us thus patriarchy has always been 'championed' by white men around the world and that societies which started as matriarchs or neutral suddenly got turned as a result of colonialism.
This is an element I see siting atop something even deeper. Go further to look at the dominant economic system. A system that thrives only on exploitation, alienating people from their natural psychological needs in place of being a cog only producing and consuming. The more unhappy you are, the more markets are created to be serviced. The more services and products you consume instead taking more slow and natural treatments, the more easily you are coerced into participating beyond meeting survival needs. So take things out of their natural element, creating a problem of dissatisfaction or pain, misrepresent the problem as something with a purchasable remedy that has intense short-term stimulus but rapidly waning long-term effects. Rinse and repeat.
The animal kingdom also has many species in which physical appearance is huge. It can mean the difference between finding and not finding a mate so we're not that different.
@@grapeshot Well I'll help you out I know animals don't get plastic surgery but that's not the point I was making. The point is animals are also concern with their appearances and you see it in nature based on the animals that attract mates based in a more impressive appearance vs those that don't.
This is very interesting to see the dissociation in the discourse of patients. She recognizes that she suffers from body-dismorphia but she’s still planing a new surgery. On top of having been hurt by the previous one! I’m sad for her because i feel no surgery will fix it.
She needs some god damned mental help. Should have found herself a therapist with that money she saved. Instead she went and voluntarily broke her jaw and got nerve damage. I feel sorry for her.
7:30 Sad (and Michael Jackson scary) to see an attractive young girl think a perfectly natural and healthy (and tiny!) amount of fat under her chin is somehow an ugly or unattractive defect.
@robin mcgregor The tiny chin is not ugly, it's attractive if you are a woman but on a man it looks too feminen. Big chins on women look way too masculine tbh.
I feel like I used to think of my face as a personality. How can you see the present age from the appearance and the people? You are guided so that you can live your life. It ’s a good idea to go back in time
Over the years I found that low self esteem is an important business opportunity. That’s why my students get cranky when their pictures don’t hit the 100 plus likes, or when they’re willing to do an almost nude picture to get 1000 likes from strangers and old men. We, as teachers are extremely concerned about the kids, for their own safety
I used to budget out money aside for plastic surgery, heavily emotionally traumatized as a child especially in regards to my looks People said they envied my body and shape but i still wasnt happy I was bullied at home and at school for my skin colour, hair, face, etc I now am a fully practicing muslim who is free from all this and ive never been happier The sight islam gives you on beauty is amazing People you dont need makeup You dont need surgery You just need to love yourself and how you were created For me I started to love myself after knowing how much my creator loves me Society and people are always biased Dont fall for their words We only live for a short while
This went from sadge to inspiration to preaching religion for no reason -_- Every religion is same, don't differentiate them as which is better and bad :/
I have the same experience, Wes. My hands and arms feel horrible and my jaw is tight. I needed to stop 3/4 of the way through. I felt this video in my body.
Asking a question like that to a plastic surgeon about how it will effect kids mental health is redundant. He is a plastic surgeon. His goal isn't to enhance patient natural beauty or help correct issues, but to perform massive surgery on a patient to profit from them. Many people focus was to get one or two surgery, but once they hear a doctor saying that your forehead is too big, your chin is too short, ect it causes the patient to be very self conscious. Manipulation = gaining more profit. South Korea need a reality check and psychologists. The society they live in is tainted.
This is what happening in america the kardashins all went through this and have set the bar so high and unnatural for our young women that they have to do this to be recognized as beautiful. Which is so mssd.
Ok. Look. Personally Iam not handsome. , but I seen the kardashians. Kylie, and Kim and uff xd. They are not pretty., they just introvert entrepenours. Thats what they have money.
The most beautiful face and body are the healthy ones. You can even exercise the muscles of your face. Unless you are born with a birth defect; I don't see any reason for surgery.
Crazy how much people hate themselves.... Plus. Don't they know that their children are still going to come out with that original chin, eyes, nose etc. This is sad
Sad that people confuse oppression with happiness and liberation..you are not accepted for who you are and what you naturally look like..that's devastating to ones self esteem
I've always been the ugly sister, compared to my younger, extremely popular and beautiful sister. I've had body dysmorphia since I was a preteen. As an adult woman in her late 20s, I still suffer and I feel the anxiety about my body is getting worse. I talk more openly about wanting plastic surgery. I know though that plastic surgery is not a lifelong answer, nor is it a healthy one. But I just want to be seen as beautiful and as valuable as my sister and other pretty girls like her. I want to know what it's like to be loved for my appearance. I recognize that's shallow, but your physical appearance is what everyone sees. Not many people get to know you personally, and see your intelligence. But everyone can value you based on how pretty you are. I want to be beautiful too.
I agree but plastic surgery is never a solution it's an addiction so it's better to stay away from this. Everyone is beautiful you just need to dress according to personality
Your right and wrong you know it's not true that people only care about your looks theres tons more people that think differently trust me I know, i seen people who are with someone who is considered ugly ✌ to other people but the person who's is with she/he thinks there not, you know how special that is someone loving you who you are instead looking at something that its unnatural, I'm not saying plastic surgery is the devil or something lol but if its for health reasons I understand but if it's something you want to do because people encourages you to do it then dont. You are beautiful just the way you are girl. ❤ and there are always different ways to groom yourself.
I think be yourself or who you are and be happy. So many people look beautiful and handsome, but inside of them is like SSS!!,,tttt. Be your happy with yourself and beautiful from inside of your heart.
Do u think if someone went back in time and stopped that American surgeon from performing that surgery...Korea would've been a more comfortable/accepting place in case of beauty standards...?..just something I thought.
Really terrifying. Exploiting insecurity for fun and profit. I wonder what I'd do if I started dating someone and she admitted she had used plastic surgery and her face was half numb.
I just want there to be freedom in choices that people make.....If someone wants to get a surgery they can,if someone wants to have short hair and natural skin they can too, they shouldn't be shamed for the choices they make rather should be accepted as an individual in an effort to feel comfortable in their skin and shouldn't be pressured to be a certain way....fluidity,healthy life,freemind is what I want.
Plastic surgery is just a bad idea, what happens when you have children and they look like you use to, will they be ugly, in your eyes? How can you expect a child to love themselves
I wanted surgery to fix the things that I was bullied for but I know once I start, I won’t stop. I’ll forever find things to fix. It has been tempting since I live in Korea, I go through the websites occasionally
Yeah, I get you.. Sometimes I lay down and wonder what it would be like if my jaw was slimmer and my eyelids were even. My previous girlfriend whilst I was living in America told me my eyes looked scary. I think she was joking but that really lowered my self esteem.. As for my face, it's very square. My mom always makes me have my hair up, but that just makes my insecurities worse. Everyone can see every inch of my facial structure. I have arguments about it a lot because my mom thinks I look unkempt trying to hide my face in my hair all the time. The possibilty of having plastic surgery hadn't occurred to me until one of my friends got her nose done. I laughed it off and told her she looked completely fine before, but all in all it stuck with me. It's been a difficult journey. It still is. But despite all that I've tried to accept the features that make me unique. Even if I think they're undesirable. You may dislike your appearance, through your own observation or the fault of others, but I betcha there's loads of people- So many that we can't individually count- that believe you're the most beautiful person they've ever had the chance of meeting. Stay strong and be you
I'm concerned people are more involved with their faces & phones than maintaining a marriage/relationship. So many claim want a relationship, but seems like they have a better time with their smart phones, taking selfies, and living in a plastic world.
I haven’t liked the shape of my nose since I was about 13. I also am insecure about how wide my face is. Even if I’m still trying hard to accept these things, I still find weeks where it’s quite difficult, and like many other girls, it is constantly brought up to my attention. I’ve also been a kpop fan for about 5 years, and I’ve definitely felt insecure when watching kpop idol girls. Of course, the argument against my comparison with these idols is that I should know by now that I don’t have an idol lifestyle, and I am not Korean, so why should I care? But the thing is, being a fan for so long makes these body types and face types almost subconsciously embedded in you, that if you are insecure in yourself, the comparison with these idols comes automatically-like it’s second nature. The standard of beauty that is instilled in the kpop that I love so much gives me the impression that those who should be looked up *the most* are those who are conventionally “beautiful”. In fact, the inadvertent statement is more exaggerated by the fact that variety shows, kdramas-even the ads on news networks-explicitly advertise that people *should only aim* to fit in what is conventional. And sure, I respect someone’s freedom to change their appearance because they want to. If that is what they want, then go for it. But I also respect the freedom to NOT change one’s appearance as well, if they don’t want to. Regardless of my own preferences for beauty, I respect the right for someone to appear in any shape or size they want to be in, because that is what makes them happy.
While I get that this is not the point of the video, the framing of plastic surgery as a frivolous has its downsides too. I understand that it is harmful to those who use it simply as a band aid on deeper issues of body insecurity. It can be a life saving procedure for trans folk where Facial Feminization Surgery (FFS) can mitigate suicidal ideation, and reduce street harassment. For people who fall well outside the norm of beauty standards, various surgeries can allow them to move through society more easily. To be clear the real problem is the societal systems that insist that create standards of appearance and punish those who fall out side them. Framing those who use surgery as a method of trying to survive these systems as vapid, required more thought. The other angle to consider is that the piece frames the potential for permanent damage as a self evident reason that surgery is bad. When people should be free to do what they want with their bodies regardless of the risk as long as they understand the risks and consent to all the possible outcomes. Again would people need to make a lot of those decisions if society was less restrictive on what is and isn't beautiful? No. But painting a coping mechanism as the problem is not a good solution either.
Something I want to ask and haven't seen any other channel ask is would a plastic surgeon in Korea get plastic surgery? Or have they? Not trying to be rude but, I notice that a lot of surgeons are average or below average looking.
I've been watch vlog or video when people doing plastics surgery in korea for about 10 years. Most of the doctor actually not look handsome and yes just "average". Maybe they know the effect of the PS in the future or when they getting old, so they decided not doing PS.
Korean women who undergone plastic surgery looked very similar or identical to each other...Their individual facial uniqueness / features has gone forever and definitely will never back...It's your body, your choice but Do you really have to do it? Is that really necessary? Or is being "you" a big hindrance to your success? Whatever it is that make you change...Pls. do think about it a million times before u reach a decision that will change your life forever...P.S. God bless those who do!✌️✌️✌️😘😘😘💓💓💓
Did anyone else feel super frustrated to tears that the doctor did not give a single care about how this affects women's self-esteem and instead defended it by saying how plastic surgery could help with insecurities? I mean, of course, he's not worried, he's making money. His ego probably got threatened, so he defended plastic surgery. It's unfair that men are not put under a microscope like women. Jenni has nerve damage, for crying out loud!
that's a reason why i hated the mainstream kpop groups... they are always being pressured to look nice and presentable. indie groups or single artist don't really have the pressure, since they don't make the big bucks for the companies and not exportable, unless it's from a K-drama soundtrack.
@@johnstonegathogo9919, the foreskin needed to be reattached in order for me to continue my adult industry career. So there were no personal or religious decisions - it was strictly business.
That American chick is crazy, and looked as good if not better before her surgery. She's gonna end up being one of those doll faced women in a couple years. I need plastic surgery on my body because of trauma I suffered years ago but nobody really specializes in doing those procedures because there is so much more money on the cosmetic side.
Uuuuf!!!! you gotta be brave to perform liposuction in someone's neck, I've seen plastic surgeons performing it on a patient with Madelung disease (massive adipose tumours all over the body) and they told me that a single wrong movement can disect a vase or the respiratory tract... Definetely wouldn't do it for a slight curve under my chin, like the girl on the video!
These people will regret themselves when they get old, because plastic surgery will not last forever. After you get old, you'll look even worse than avg and have even worse health :/
in histry ever people want to be buitiful. that was human's permanent,nature instinct. also i agree human surffered by is seriously wrong. but that can be a reason to blaim people who has unconsciousely tend to love beauty or make a decision to have surgery and anticipate to have the goodwill by other people. plus beauty is not a absolute vertue kind,manner,wisdom....there are many other charms except appearance. that is same in korea even though who is agly. but if he or she has other charm. other people will accept in their group. please stop make prejudice about korean
This kind of a blanket statement about plastic surgery. There are plenty of reasons sometimes it does good. For people who are disfigured by birth or accident. It is these stupid vain girls who should be banned.
Feel so sorry for the people who have to do this, who aren't happy with life and what they have been dealt with. Really nothing wrong, they are just messing this all up. Numbness? Sick! Then law suites? Fools, so sad they feel the pressure to go there, so sad that they hate themselves so much. Sad fools. This is NOT beauty, they have nothing in their hearts nor heads!
Have you ever wanted to change the way you look? Why or why not?
Holy crap. No! Get off social media! I'm only on youtube to listen to videos while working.
AJ+ I really do (present tense) but I would never go through surgery
*Laughs in Trans*

My previous girlfriend whilst I was living in America told me my eyes looked scary. I think she was joking but that really lowered my self esteem.. As for my face, it's very square. My mom always makes me have my hair up, but that just makes my insecurities worse. Everyone can see every inch of my facial structure. I have arguments about it a lot because my mom thinks I look unkempt trying to hide my face in my hair all the time. The possibilty of having plastic surgery hadn't occurred to me until one of my friends got her nose done. I laughed it off and told her she looked completely fine before, but all in all it stuck with me.
It's been a difficult journey. It still is. But despite all that I've tried to accept the features that make me unique. Even if I think they're undesirable. You may dislike your appearance, through your own observation or the fault of others, but I betcha there's loads of people- So many that we can't individually count- that believe you're the most beautiful person they've ever had the chance of meeting. Stay strong and be you
I'm concerned people are more involved with their faces & phones than maintaining a marriage/relationship. So many claim want a relationship, but seems like they have a better time with their smart phones, taking selfies, and living in a plastic world.
Consumer culture. If it cracks, it gets replaced. Sadly.
I haven’t liked the shape of my nose since I was about 13. I also am insecure about how wide my face is. Even if I’m still trying hard to accept these things, I still find weeks where it’s quite difficult, and like many other girls, it is constantly brought up to my attention.
I’ve also been a kpop fan for about 5 years, and I’ve definitely felt insecure when watching kpop idol girls. Of course, the argument against my comparison with these idols is that I should know by now that I don’t have an idol lifestyle, and I am not Korean, so why should I care?
But the thing is, being a fan for so long makes these body types and face types almost subconsciously embedded in you, that if you are insecure in yourself, the comparison with these idols comes automatically-like it’s second nature. The standard of beauty that is instilled in the kpop that I love so much gives me the impression that those who should be looked up *the most* are those who are conventionally “beautiful”. In fact, the inadvertent statement is more exaggerated by the fact that variety shows, kdramas-even the ads on news networks-explicitly advertise that people *should only aim* to fit in what is conventional.
And sure, I respect someone’s freedom to change their appearance because they want to. If that is what they want, then go for it. But I also respect the freedom to NOT change one’s appearance as well, if they don’t want to. Regardless of my own preferences for beauty, I respect the right for someone to appear in any shape or size they want to be in, because that is what makes them happy.
Who decided to name the company JK ... just kidding
While I get that this is not the point of the video, the framing of plastic surgery as a frivolous has its downsides too. I understand that it is harmful to those who use it simply as a band aid on deeper issues of body insecurity. It can be a life saving procedure for trans folk where Facial Feminization Surgery (FFS) can mitigate suicidal ideation, and reduce street harassment. For people who fall well outside the norm of beauty standards, various surgeries can allow them to move through society more easily. To be clear the real problem is the societal systems that insist that create standards of appearance and punish those who fall out side them. Framing those who use surgery as a method of trying to survive these systems as vapid, required more thought.
The other angle to consider is that the piece frames the potential for permanent damage as a self evident reason that surgery is bad. When people should be free to do what they want with their bodies regardless of the risk as long as they understand the risks and consent to all the possible outcomes. Again would people need to make a lot of those decisions if society was less restrictive on what is and isn't beautiful? No. But painting a coping mechanism as the problem is not a good solution either.
Stop this craziness ! This K-reePy culture is toxic.
That american girl is beautiful, I dont think that she need a surgery at all.
Something I want to ask and haven't seen any other channel ask is would a plastic surgeon in Korea get plastic surgery? Or have they? Not trying to be rude but, I notice that a lot of surgeons are average or below average looking.
I've been watch vlog or video when people doing plastics surgery in korea for about 10 years. Most of the doctor actually not look handsome and yes just "average". Maybe they know the effect of the PS in the future or when they getting old, so they decided not doing PS.
Korean women who undergone plastic surgery looked very similar or identical to each other...Their individual facial uniqueness / features has gone forever and definitely will never back...It's your body, your choice but Do you really have to do it? Is that really necessary? Or is being "you" a big hindrance to your success? Whatever it is that make you change...Pls. do think about it a million times before u reach a decision that will change your life forever...P.S. God bless those who do!✌️✌️✌️😘😘😘💓💓💓
@1:40 1/3 Korean women under 30 get plastic surgery.
that doctor looks creepy af
Did anyone else feel super frustrated to tears that the doctor did not give a single care about how this affects women's self-esteem and instead defended it by saying how plastic surgery could help with insecurities? I mean, of course, he's not worried, he's making money. His ego probably got threatened, so he defended plastic surgery. It's unfair that men are not put under a microscope like women. Jenni has nerve damage, for crying out loud!
that's a reason why i hated the mainstream kpop groups... they are always being pressured to look nice and presentable.
indie groups or single artist don't really have the pressure, since they don't make the big bucks for the companies and not exportable, unless it's from a K-drama soundtrack.
"That's really creepy". That's what I thought when I saw the girl groups. They all look the same.
The amount of people in the comments that don’t know kbs isn’t all because Koreans wanna look white is insane LOL 😆
Everyone just remember, however you are , you are beautiful, if someone can not see it, its their bad luck,,,,
I love you Summer Lee! Such a true beauty! ❤️
1 in 3?????!!!! That’s insane!!!!
Ikr sad.I really want to go to Korea to see the hype myself.
Wow, now commercial exist for plastic surgery too. This is sadge :(
Like seriously, it affects your health and can even threaten your life.
I tried to reverse my circumcision in Incheon, South Korea with a foreskin restoration specialist. Really bad idea...
Why would you even do that??
@@horikitas.3751 😄
What was the reason for you to do it
@@johnstonegathogo9919, the foreskin needed to be reattached in order for me to continue my adult industry career. So there were no personal or religious decisions - it was strictly business.
@@CyberDocUSA was the procedure funded by the company you're working for?
They're bugging.
OMG that's painful 🤕
That American chick is crazy, and looked as good if not better before her surgery. She's gonna end up being one of those doll faced women in a couple years. I need plastic surgery on my body because of trauma I suffered years ago but nobody really specializes in doing those procedures because there is so much more money on the cosmetic side.
I started crying after seeing Jenni Jenni’s tattoo.... 🤍🤍
you are soo right
Summer is very pretty
Im glad i never wanted to change how i look. Yay good mental health!
I couldn't feel my nose for two years after my second nose job.
60th years old I want to get done too but my budget I wish my 10k cover how I get right a dr
This is why I don’t support kpop 🤦🏻♀️
Uuuuf!!!! you gotta be brave to perform liposuction in someone's neck, I've seen plastic surgeons performing it on a patient with Madelung disease (massive adipose tumours all over the body) and they told me that a single wrong movement can disect a vase or the respiratory tract... Definetely wouldn't do it for a slight curve under my chin, like the girl on the video!
It's gross.
These people will regret themselves when they get old, because plastic surgery will not last forever. After you get old, you'll look even worse than avg and have even worse health :/
this was just sad
Whos the girl in the thumbnail?
First it was her 👃NOW her neck & jaw😒😬😔
The v line jaw surgery is bad , it can mess you up really bad...
Please, less hasty editing! I could hardly follow the beginning of the clip.
not hating plastic surgery , but.. for Jenni, isnt it with workout, healthy food & lifestyle can achieve that 'sharp' jawline. plus makeup too.
in histry ever people want to be buitiful.
that was human's permanent,nature instinct.
also i agree human surffered by is seriously wrong.
but that can be a reason to blaim people who has unconsciousely tend to love beauty
or make a decision to have surgery and anticipate to have the goodwill by other people.
plus beauty is not a absolute vertue
kind,manner,wisdom....there are many other charms except appearance.
that is same in korea
even though who is agly.
but if he or she has other charm.
other people will accept in their group.
please stop make prejudice about korean
J HOPE DID NOT GET A PLASTIC SURGERY
Somewhat OT but I just wanna say Dolly without the camera filters looks perfect.
People have low self esteem... they are an embarrassment.
Platics surgery should be illegal.
I agree. It allows people to false advertise their looks.
This kind of a blanket statement about plastic surgery. There are plenty of reasons sometimes it does good. For people who are disfigured by birth or accident. It is these stupid vain girls who should be banned.
@@mnguyea Yes you are right it does good and I think if we have to do something we have to end this culture of going under the knife to look good
This is so f*cking sad
Donate that money to people who need it to get proper education worldwide 🌷
Are you not scared now to meet a korean woman and wonder if she is real or fake ??? 😳
Luke 23:34 - "Father, forgive them, for they do not what they are doing."
Thats why their face r similar
Summer is weird, such short arms
Lol the interviewer looks like perfect go to for this surgieries.
The pressure is from other women
WHY TF DID THEY PUT J-HOPE THERE??? LIKE DO RESEARCH
FIRST!!!
Is it me or the society is becoming more narcissistic type.Shit.
Feel so sorry for the people who have to do this, who aren't happy with life and what they have been dealt with. Really nothing wrong, they are just messing this all up. Numbness? Sick! Then law suites? Fools, so sad they feel the pressure to go there, so sad that they hate themselves so much. Sad fools. This is NOT beauty, they have nothing in their hearts nor heads!
Common sense ⚰️
still won’t stop me from getting what I want lmaoo
🥹😳🥹
they are all blond inside....
She should try going for a jog and developing a decent personality.
