I don’t know about you but I find amazing how Korean ‘magicians’ (read: Plastic Surgeons) can transform totally normal looking girls into hot ones. Big doe-shaped eyes, perfect teeth, pointy noses, big boods etc. I think going under the knife is a BIG DEAL….this, coming from someone who would rather be refused caffein than being cut up. Suffice to say, I would only consider going under the knife if things were life-threatening.

But as intrigued as I am about Korean culture and Korean lifestyle and Kimchi and Rain and Sung Si Kyung and…..er, where was I? Anyway, I find it a little hard to stomach how these girls very matter-of-factly go under the knife for the sake of beauty. Yes, I did not forget that they did it for their careers but I hope their face remains the same for years to come. I wonder how they will look like when they’re old. They look mighty awesome now but heck, what happens when they’re eighty? Remember Wacko Jacko? Yeah….scary, huh? It can’t be easy watching your own face melt and disintegrate. Poor guy, with MILLIONS (if he still have any of it) but no face.

You can say that there’s a little bit of envy here, on my side. A little ‘touching up’ would be nice. But even with all the money in the world, would I consider plastic surgery as a cosmetic remedy? Perhaps not. No, wait. DEFINITELY not.

I don’t remember who was talking to me about this already but there was one time, me and my friends were just lounging around and the topic of Korean girls popped-up. One friend said, “When they have kids later on in life, their kids are going to be curious as to why they didn’t look like mommy or daddy. The kid would be lucky if they looked like daddy….at least better than nothing. What if they looked like their ORIGINAL mommy?Lots of explaining to do there”.

But I heard that it’s starting to get a little crazy over there. Parents are beginning to send their kids for surgery as soon as they hit toddlerhood or approach teenage years. Blimey, crazy, ain’t it? Don’t quote me on that one because I wouldn’t know if Korean parents actually send their kids for plastic surgery or not. That’s been blowing around in the rumor mill and I just picked it up.

To their credit, their dance performance is really good, considering that there are nine of them altogether and each of them sings only a few lines at a time. It’s hard to choreograph and coordinate their dance moves properly so that each of them get adequate limelight. Their dancing is also VERY synchronized.

Well, here’s SoNyuhShiDae (2 of the members featured above in this blog entry) with their superb dancing & choreography, nice-enough song and beautiful faces/bodies!

Maybe being butchered up isn’t so bad after all, huh? Koreans are really pumping up their entertainment industry shoving aside Hong Kong and Taiwan liao. Malaysia still tidur-ing somewhere….in cloud nine. Still screeching our ways down the charts.
