Do Koreans worship New York? What about it exactly?

GET THIS: I am half Korean with a Korean mother. My eldest sister was also adopted in Korea, meaning she is full Korean. Both my mother AND my (at the time) middle school sister got the double eyelide surgery ON THE FLOOR of my bedroom by a traveling Korean doctor. Apparently, this man came to the US from Korea and did HUNDREDS of these surgeries all over the country.

btw-thankfully both the surgeries came out well, but that just shows how skewd Koreans (even Americanized ones) can be about plastic surgery....

Earrings and tattoos are adding things to one's body, so it's not like admitting there was some lack or deficiency before.

Plastic surgery involves a big hit to one's self concept. I don't get it at a base level. If I was born a hunchback I'd probably feel differently about it. But I think it's just sad (in the sense of pathetic) when I hear of people getting plastic surgery for no apparent reason, where it's not obviously needed.

Still... It's a free country, here and back home, so if you got the money, mutilate your body however you want.


Mutilate. Rolling Eyes
