The vigorous development of plastic surgery technology has also prompted people from China, the United States and other countries to choose South Korea for surgery. The Korean people’s pursuit of beauty actually comes from the deep-rooted "appearance supremacy" in the region!

The reason why Koreans advocate the term "appearance first" is simply because many people are in the relationship of the "Appearance Association". In addition, they are also influenced by the beauty of Korean idols and actors, and their acceptance of plastic surgery is increasing.
