Plastic surgery is usually a personal decision as a reflection
of improving confident needs and self-image. For South Korean teenage girls,
this is not only “a desire to be better looking person”. Plastic surgery was
already an obsession. Unsurprisingly, around 76% Korean women at the age of 20
– 30 years old did plastic surgery. Even though in
following five years, plastic surgery was a personal thing, for some people
that’s like a shameful action. Several opinions in world society said that
teenage girls who did the plastic surgery were similar to be a monster with
super beautiful body outside. On the other hand, some people said that was not
a big deal.
Based on south Korean teenage girl’s opinion, the main reason to
decide the plastic surgery is for changing their slanting eyes. Having the big
eyes is a dream for them. It could be done by plastic surgery for approximately
8 million rupiah by making additional eyelid. For example, if a girl was 14
years old, she is allowed to do the plastic surgery as known as “eye job”, even
it used to be a gift from parents. That’s why several clinic for plastic
surgery will be busy, especially at school holiday. The most popular plastic
surgery is for the eyelid, nevertheless nose operation is also important for
them. From the author’s opinion, the parents ask their children to do the
plastic surgeon as well as to make homework. They aware that appearance is one
of keys factor to achieve successful life.
The ridiculous aspect of the
Korean culture is the opinion about changing the physically appearance. One
side, the Korean has a slogan about high nationalism. Another side, some Korean
are not satisfied about their appearance. I admire Korean love and proud their
personal character, but why they eager to do the plastic surgery. From the
author’s opinion, they should have been proud of original face of Korean as
well as their identity as a Korean.
When this new culture was
established, I try to compare it with Indonesia. Beside the economic aspect,
Indonesia people seldom do the plastic surgery as they are accept the
appearance as a gift from God.
This Indonesian’s concept grew up as people have obligation to embrace the
religion. From my point of view, religion becomes a filter when people made
decision to do something. Whether the action is good or useful for themselves
and others people? Changing the body part seems to be the hardest thing and
opposite to god’s gift.
Besides, the tough competition
among Korean people to be successful (worldly) is one of reason to do plastic
surgery. Someone whose the standard appearance is not easy to be accepted at
work for instance. The appearance would be the important factor in working
atmosphere, especially entertainment industry. The Korean actress like to
change their body appearance to be perfect or success than others. Also, it is
important to get attention from fans to follow them as idols.
The
booming of plastic surgery in Korea is a new unique culture. However Korean
government reaction which hasn’t given serious attention indicates that this
phenomenon isn’t a threatening change . Cuture change is a common thing happens
in our life. Nothing can stop this. As it happens along with epoch demand which
continually urges human being to accomplish it. However the choice depends to
each individual, whether to accomplish it or not.
