Every year the fashion for transformation through surgery is growing. According to statistics, Seoul has become the unofficial capital of plastic surgery. There is also an Improvement District in the city, where about 500 clinics are located. Where, you ask, is there such popularity for changes in appearance? This is because in Korea there is enormous competition in the world of show business, where the main weapon is appearance. Here are the most famous and beloved Asian stars who gained fame thanks to plastic surgery.

The South Korean actress became famous for her roles in the Korean dramas My Girl, Green Rose, Slave Hunters, Miss Ripley and King of the Hotel. In interviews, she admitted more than once that due to her tendency to be overweight, she had a facelift. But in the photo you can see that surgery alone was clearly not enough: the surgeons corrected the actress’s lips and eyes. By the way, the fresh-faced acting career has brought Lee a fortune of $1.2 billion, and today she is considered one of the most beautiful women in Korea.

However, you just have to look at the before and after photos, and everything becomes clear: the pictures show a completely different person.
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.

During her school years, Yoo In Na was a bully. Then she was even confused with the stronger sex, and the girl cried because of this. Over the years, everything has changed: now she is a beauty and knows how to present herself correctly. But without rhinoplasty and a couple more operations, she would not have become one of the most popular actresses. Her role in the TV series “Queen In Hyun’s Man” gave her fame.

The beauty is known for her roles in the dramas “What's Wrong with Secretary Kim?”, “Healer” and “City Hunter”. And this Asian actress is one of the few who does not deny that her beauty is the work of talented plastic surgeons. While still in school, she had eyelid surgery, and it greatly transformed her!
By the way, many Asian parents give their children a very unusual gift when they are children—a certificate for plastic surgery.
Way to success
The actor was born on May 31, 1988. Its roots go to Gwacheon. As he got older, he moved to Seoul and doesn't get along well with his family: his parents and sister.
The guy developed an attraction to an acting career at an early age. He began attending various clubs. He learned to play the piano, and also studied vocals and dancing. True, all this brought him to the catwalks, where he became a model. While studying at the university, he had to skip classes, since it was quite difficult to combine his favorite job and study. Although he studied at the Faculty of Theater and Film Arts. But he was not enjoying his studies, so he decided to quit. He never wanted to make this decision, since Lee Soo Hyuk only got closer to his dream.
With a height of 184 cm and a weight of 60 kg, he is in excellent shape and to this day is engaged in modeling, participating in various shows and filming for famous brands. For example, Vogue, Bazaar and GQ. Lee Soo Hyuk simply loves to act and all the photos with him come out incredibly beautiful and mesmerizing.

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.
What the star officially says about her transformations
Some sources claim that Lee Min Ho only had plastic surgery on his nose because he broke it while playing football. Others are that the actor needed to adjust his appearance after an accident in 2006, and Lee’s army of fans are sure that their favorite, if he resorted to plastic surgery, was in small quantities.
Rumors about Lee Min Ho getting plastic surgery began after a photo of him sitting next to a plastic surgeon surfaced in 2012.
Ho's agency StarHaus quickly dispelled all the rumors, saying:
Lee took this photo as a sign of friendship and respect for doctors and has never undergone plastic surgery.
The actor himself has never made any statements regarding plastic surgery. In an interview, Lee Min Ho says:
I don't want to turn into an old man and I envy the youthful faces of other actors.
He says that his face is prone to puffiness, which is why many people see changes in photographs. In fact, in his youth he simply did not need to visit a dermatologist, since his skin was in perfect shape. As he got older, he became more concerned about his appearance and now carefully monitors the condition of his skin.
Although Lee Min Ho is undoubtedly the public's favorite, lately there have been more and more malicious comments towards the actor. In this regard, on August 12, the law firm LIWU published a statement on its official website warning that illegal publications that contain mindless personal attacks, sexual harassment, spreading false information and malicious rumors will be monitored and the perpetrators will be severely punished.
