Fans are learning more about K-effect pop’s on and growth alongside South Korean culture on a bigger scale as the genre’s popularity expands throughout the world. According to a post published in The Atlantic, one out of every five South Korean women seeks plastic surgery. However, one out of every twenty American women has undergone cosmetic surgery. In comparison, it appears that cosmetic surgery in South Korea is more of a cultural phenomena.
“Feminist concerns of body objectification are scarcely heard, and the racial argument that this surgery is a type of ‘trying to seem white’ has faded — thanks to the emergence of Korean pop music culture,” writes the piece’s author, Zara Stone. “K-pop has established a whole new beauty ideal that pays homage to Caucasian traits without imitating them.”
People naturally look up to celebrities in the entertainment industry. As a result, K-aesthetics pop’s and the operations that celebrities may undergo tend to fuel the expansion of cosmetic surgery as a pop culture trend. “Everything, from their voice to their facial form, is produced by their management organisations,” Stone continues. Cosmetic surgery plays a big role in the K-pop image. Many K-pop stars also serve as spokespersons for surgical corporations.”
Though members of BTS have not come forward to reveal the specifics of any surgery they may have undergone, there are other techniques to determine whether or not they have had work done on their faces. On the condition of anonymity, Digital Music News spoke with a Beverly Hills plastic surgeon who consented to examine images of the BTS members.
Of J-Hope, the surgeon said, “There are almost certainly several procedures performed. One thing to note here: this face for J-Hope (I don’t know his real name so we can use his stage name) is not a very typical Asian face. I have studied extensively in places like Seoul, and spent a lot of time in Asia working with Asian surgeons and patients. Very rarely will you see an Asian person appearing like this without considerable surgery.”
On the other side, it appears that one or two members of BTS may have had no work done at all, or only a little amount of work done. “I don’t think this person has had any surgeries,” the surgeon stated of BTS member V. To be honest, I don’t believe he requires it.”
Jimin also appears to have a naturally gorgeous face, at least by K-pop standards. “Quite possibly nothing here,” Jimin’s facial surgeon replied. “It’s small if there’s anything on the nose.” We occasionally have patients who have lovely noses but only want little surgery done to give them a bit more angular’sizzle.’ However, considering the perspective of the photographs, it’s difficult to say.”
