How surgery transforms Korean celebrities
Celebrities undergoing plastic surgery is nothing new here in South Korea, Asia’s biggest cosmetic surgery destination, although not many of them openly confess their transformation.
Here are some before and after photos of celebrities, who bravely or unwillingly admitted that their beauty was modified at clinics.
Actress Min Hyo-rin, who is also the girlfriend of Big Bang’s Taeyang, is well-known for her sharp nose dubbed a “luxury nose.” While Min denied getting her nose done in an interview, she inadvertently confessed that she underwent double eyelid surgery.

Comedian Maeng Seung-ji, who is strikingly beautiful with an absolutely stunning body, wasn’t like she is now.
Her photo taken in high school was unwillingly revealed during a talk show “Radio Star.” Seeing the snap, the stunned host said, “It is unbelievable. Is that you? How come you (in your teens) look older than now?”
She said she “got a nose job and double eyelid plastic surgery,” adding, she also lost weight.

Actress Hong Soo-ah, who is recently gaining popularity in China, also admitted that she had cosmetic surgery in a recent talk show “Taxi,” although the change in her appearance is so obvious.
Asked why she had surgery, she said, “Without double eyelid, I had to wear heavy eye makeup even when I played a mysterious girl.”

Boyband ZE:A member Kwang-hee’s cosmetics surgery is no longer an issue here in Korea’s entertainment scene as he repeatedly talked about it on the show.
He even said, “If I had not become a singer, I would have worked as a counselor for a cosmetic surgery shop in Gangnam District.”
