Veteran actress Hong Jinhee recently revealed that all actors and actresses go through plastic surgery and botox.
While on SBS‘ Good Morning, the actress stated, “Plastic surgery and botox are a must for actors and actresses. Recently I have had frequent thoughts on whether I should age naturally or get a bit of a face lift.”
In a country where countless plastic surgeries are done, with procedures ranging from double eyelid surgery to entire facial changes and an industry where many celebrities, actors, actresses, and K-Pop idols alike are often judged on their looks as well as their talent, it comes as no surprise to netizens that actors and actresses go through plastic surgery and use botox.
1. [+ 671, – 14] Of course, no matter how good you are at acting, if you don’t look like the lead, you will never be lead, but if you look the part, you will land a lead role even if you can’t act.
2. [+ 535, – 10] This lady’s role in Sunny went through massive plastic surgery too ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
3. [+ 448, – 4] I wonder how many celebrities are all natural…
4. [+ 28, – 0] My oppa is a cameraman and he says no matter how pretty you are, if you don’t look good on camera, you need to get plastic surgery.

"Actors cannot get away with not getting plastic surgery or procedures."
1. [+516, -11] Of course. No matter how good of an actor you are, if your visuals are only worth that of a supporting role, you're going to be a supporting role for the rest of your life. As long as you have the visuals, you can suck at acting all you want and you'll still land lead roles.
2. [+393, -7] She played the plastic surgery friend in 'Sunny' too ㅋㅋ
3. [+322, -3] I wonder how many celebrities haven't gotten any procedures...
4. [+23, -0] My brother's a camera director and it doesn't matter how pretty you are, if you don't look good on camera, he'll recommend plastic surgery no matter what
5. [+19, -0] Isn't it true? Especially in a beauty-focused society as ours, you'll get hated if your visuals aren't up to par no matter how talented you are. There are very few singers or actors who are recognized for their talents alone.
6. [+12, -0] You'll get hated either way... for being ugly, for getting plastic surgery..
7. [+9, -0] Even if it's not to fix something, I bet stars do end up getting some type of work done down the road to maintain looks
8. [+8, -1] It's a must for non-celebrities too, nothing new
9. [+7, -0] It's become a must even for non-celebrities too ㅠ

Date: 2015-02-20 11:57 am (UTC)Should add another... U will get hated for being ugly, for getting plastic surgery and FOR BEING BORN NATURALLY PRETTY because people will start questioning whether those beauties are natural or fake.

Date: 2015-02-20 01:07 pm (UTC)It will NEVER be on the scale of Hollywood. In Hollywood there's a shitton of problems for sure, but nothing where plastic surgery is required. Take Jennifer Lawrence. She looks like the every woman of America and it hasn't stopped her. Music too. Meghan Trainor, Sia, Adele - looks, age, it doesn't stop them.

Date: 2015-02-20 01:29 pm (UTC)i think it also depends on what you consider a plastic surgery. procedures like fillers or botox aren't really considered ps per se but lots of k-celebs do it, even the ones that said they never did anything.

Date: 2015-02-20 02:48 pm (UTC)It sucks that PS is so common like this, I don't mind PS, but to think that they just get it because they don't meet the standard beauty for t.v is so sad. I mean everywhere is like that, but Korea is up there for PS.
