Assalamualaikum w.b.t.
I have heard that the standards of beauty in Korea is really tough; their standards are really extreme to the extent that not many people would believe that they are beautiful.
Many turn to plastic surgery and many other methods to achieve that ideal beauty. The beauty that perhaps, only 5% of our population acquire naturally.
Check out the link below on some of these magical transformation:

I am definitely happy for the people who are extremely happy with the results of their plastic surgery. Yes, everyone deserves to be happy.
It just saddens me that when I look at these pictures on the website, I could see that they were already BEAUTIFUL people BEFORE their plastic surgery.
The society and media are the ones responsible for setting such a high standard for beauty and the people are the ones who suffer the consequences.
I, am in no doubt, also a victim of this ideal beauty that 'they' have set.
Alhamdulillah, I am grateful for being exposed to this cruel reality and that I had the chance to gain more knowledge on the ideal physical beauty. Even so, it is definitely not easy to change your mindset in just one night.
Insya-Allah, I pray that all of us, both men and women, will be guided in the path that will please Him. And never forget, He knows what is BEST for us :) So never stop praying!
Take care beautiful people :)
