These standards are widely perpetuated by the media, the fashion industry, and social media, placing significant pressure on young people to meet such ideals. As a result, many subject themselves to extremely restrictive and even dangerous dieting regimes in order to achieve the much-desired thinness.

South Korea leads in plastic surgery per capita, with popular procedures including double eyelid surgery and rhinoplasty aimed at achieving more Westernized features. According to Dr. Sewhan Rhee, it's common for even elementary school children to undergo cosmetic surgery during school breaks, reflecting how normalized such practices have become. Additionally, as noted by writer Nancy Matsumoto, Korean culture often accepts, and even encourages, comments or bullying related to physical appearance.
