Week 2. (EXTRA) Why does Korea top plastic surgery popularity charts?


Why does Korea top plastic surgery popularity charts?

I think Korea ranks first on the popularity chart for plastic surgery because Korean media continues to present uniform standards of beauty.

These things encourage people to pay attention to pretty looks and instill the idea that I want to be like that.
