If you thought that plastic surgery in Russia has become very widespread, take a look at South Korea. Its capital, Seoul, has been called the unofficial capital of plastic surgery for several years now. Among Asians, the cult of beauty is so great that after graduating from school, children receive a certificate for an eyelid lift as a graduation gift.
Korean celebrities did not stand aside: among them it is almost impossible to find those who have never done anything to their face. We show you what these Asian stars looked like before plastic surgery and tell you what they changed about themselves.
So-I Hyun
The actress had rhinoplasty, raised her upper eyelid a little and removed Bisha's lumps, becoming a very sweet and attractive girl. She can be recognized from her appearances in melodramas, dramas and comedies.
For reference! The last film in which So-I starred was the series “Fate and Fury.”
How plastic surgery affected your career
While still a student at Tanok High School, Lee Min Ho signed an agreement with the Starhaus Entertainment agency, which guaranteed the young man a permanent job. He felt it in various castings and fashion shoots.
Career:
- 2002 - a small dramatic role in the film "Roman".
- 2003-2004 – episodic roles in the television series “Cool” and the drama “Recipe”.
- 2006 - films: “Forward, mackerel, forward”, “I am a teacher”, “Secret Campus” and the series “Secrets of the Schoolyard”, after which he woke up famous.
- 2006-2008 – “Our English Teacher”, “Get Up!”.
- 2009 – in the film “Boys Over Flowers”, main role.
- 2010 – main dramatic role in the film “Personal Preferences”.
The series with his participation collected huge box office results, and discussions about the young man’s talent and charm did not subside among the audience.
- 2009 - 2012 - television series “Boys Over Flowers”, after which the 22-year-old young man becomes a sought-after actor not only in his homeland, but also in other countries.
- 2011 – filming of the film “City Hunter” began, where he performed 80-90% of the dangerous scenes without an understudy. Here, on the set, he met actress Park Shin Hye.

Actor, singer and director from South Korea. He always denied that he changed his appearance, but recently journalists unearthed his school photographs, where fans saw a completely different face. And why was it necessary to hide the plastic surgery? After all, the result turned out excellent!
Im Soo-hyang
The girl who starred in the series “My ID is Gangnam Beauty,” about a schoolgirl who had plastic surgery as a result of teasing at school, herself used the services of a plastic surgeon in real life. She had the shape of her nose changed, making it more graceful using rhinoplasty.
In addition, the actress had blepharoplasty, which is very popular among Korean celebrities.
Thanks to the efforts of plastic surgeons, Im Soo-hyang had an eye shape similar to a European one, and also modified the lower eyelids, which were swollen before plastic surgery. This gave the girl a rather painful look. Currently, one can only envy the actress and her wide-open gaze.
He is interested in music
Korean actors often show off their singing talents in drama soundtracks and dedicated fan songs. Lee Joon Ki loves to sing and dance and has been continuously releasing his own music tracks since 2006.
In the TV show Knowing Bros, the actor once said that in his youth he dreamed of becoming a singer. He passed many auditions and even made it to SM Entertainment, which is the “home” of the super popular pop group Girls' Generation, but he failed to pass the competition.
Lee Da Hae
According to the actress, she had several operations on her face due to the fact that she is prone to excess weight. After the changes, her appearance became very sweet and feminine.
Interesting! A drama was recently released in which Lee Da Hye played the lead role. At first glance, you can’t tell that this girl is obese.
Kim Ye-won

The girl from South Korea was a member of the group Jewerly, but the group disbanded in 2015. Then Kim Ye-Won began acting in TV series. To differentiate herself from her colleagues, she underwent several surgeries. I must say that the first ones did her good, but further changes only harm her, because she doesn’t want to stop and is gradually turning into a plastic doll. A sense of proportion, alas, is unfamiliar to her.
Park Min Young
If you look at photographs of the actress before and after the transformation, you will not immediately believe that this is the same person. Her plastic surgery history is impressive. According to the girl, she had plastic surgery on her Asian eyelids while still at school. But if you look at the pictures, you can see how her face has changed.

Lee Si Young
Ten years ago, actress Lee Si Young underwent several plastic surgeries. According to her, she considers her current face to be her own, truly dear. In one of the programs, the girl noted that she turned to plastic surgeons. When looking at her old photographs, you can immediately understand that professionals worked on her appearance.
Thanks to a photo review of the top 12 Korean actresses, we can say with confidence that plastic surgeons work wonders. It is difficult not to notice the significant difference in appearance before and after plastic surgery.
Lip surgery
While women all over the world dreamed of getting lips like Angelina Jolie's, Korean women came up with their own ideals of beauty. They go crazy for “cherry lips.”
The essence of the technique is that volume is not added everywhere, but only in the center. Thus, the tick above the upper lip becomes more expressive, and the mouth itself begins to resemble a cherry. It is believed that “cherry plastic surgery” makes the face more youthful and naive.
Personal life
Lee's personal life remains under a canopy of secrecy and no media has been able to open this curtain. Lee admitted during an interview that he spends his free time from work in bed, ordering takeout and watching TV. Even forgetting about showering and shaving. His friends describe him as a very caring and open person, but he really doesn’t have enough time for his loved ones.
However, the friends are very proud of their movie star friend. And Lee's only dreams are potato stew and spicy octopus fried on an iron baking sheet. And his biggest problem at the moment is just excessive sweating, which he has difficulty coping with, filming constantly in a hot climate, the actor was helped by wet wipes, and now he simply tries to move less.
