What an idiot.
People can get addicted to anything now I guess.
Everything is labeled as disorders now instead of plain old stupidity.
Tisk, tisk.

I saw that story 3 years ago. She actually looks better than before.

Koreans called her "fan head". They probably would have called her dog head, but that is like seriously swearing at someone. She literally looked just like a dog before. I felt so sorry for her. She was gorgeous when she was young. Just gorgeous.

I don't know. . .injecting cooking oil into your own face goes a bit further than "stupidity". Shocked

I would occasionally squeeze a zit too hard and make it red and angry and looking worse, but this woman took things to a whole 'nother level. Damn.

And what's up with the quacks who kept on working on her? They should lose their licenses (if they had any to begin with), or pay bigtime, or something. Jesus, everybody's messed up in that story (but obviously her worst of all).

That's a sad story. It's not hilarious. What's wrong with you?

I read a story about a SE Asian man in Vietnam or Cambodia a year or 2 ago who injected hair conditioner (or "rinse" for you Korean readers) into his penis as he believed it would make it bigger. He was in intense pain. I can't remember if he became impotent in the end.

This is a super old story. Maybe 5 years old.

They call her 선풍기 아줌마

Why did she do it again? Did she think cooking oil was good for the skin?

Is that final picture of the series of three really her? Shit. I think the very first surgeon to have done work on her should have been shot. She was absolutely amazing.

If however she was originally ugly and turned out looking like that 3rd picture in the series, I can kind of understand how she got addicted to it.

Anyone notice the hideous romanisation of her name in the first post? Hang Mioku < Han Miok.

its funny because, how can someone be that stupid and weak? Inject yourself with cooking oil ? wtf was she trying to do? cook some vegetables in her face ?

Its also ironic, the attempt to be beautiful and perfect ( which is an act of ugliness and an ugly process) has lead her to look like a creature no man could love!

People are stupid
