Gone are the days when plastic surgery was perceived negatively. The public is now not taking the plastic surgery confessions of female stars seriously. Among them, male stars have confessed to plastic surgery one after another. Men's efforts to become more beautiful are increasingly accepted as natural.
In the recently broadcast SBS 'Same Bed, Different Dreams 2', the daily life of singers Hyunyoung and Park Goon was revealed. For her younger husband, Park-goon, Han Young took her to a dermatologist to take care of her. Han Young said to Park, "Don't you like being pretty? People say I've become prettier because I take care of my skin. I'll make you prettier today." He also said, "The other day, he went out (on air) and told me (that he had plastic surgery)" and said, "Didn't you have double eyelids too?"
Previously, in the broadcast of 'Same Bed, Different Dreams 2', when the MCs couldn't recognize Park's past photos and said, "Who are you?", Park confessed, "When I was 20, I had double eyelid surgery." In the studio, Hanyoung surprised everyone by saying to the other cast members, "My husband's double eyelids are good."
Super Junior's Kyuhyun, who is on the music stage and performing on variety programs, revealed that he had double eyelid surgery. He looked at his past photos on MBC's 'Radio Star' and said, "I found the light after undergoing double eyelid surgery. It was the day of the graduation ceremony, and the sunlight was really strong." When MC Kim Gu-ra wondered, "You didn't do a nose job. I think you did a little nose," Kyu-hyun said, "I didn't risk my hands and fingers. I didn't touch anything except my eyes."
Kyuhyun even revealed the fact that he had double eyelid surgery. Kyuhyun said, "Double eyelid surgery was recommended by the company, saying that it would be nice to have a soft impression." Also, "I had double eyelid surgery right before my debut and it's been about 5 years, but one day I felt like it disappeared." He said. In the end, I went back and did it in 10 minutes.”
SG Wannabe Kim Yong-joon, who is actively continuing his broadcasting activities recently, also confessed about his eye surgery in Channel A's 'Groom Class'. When Kim Yong-joon told guest Lee Seung-cheol, "Your face looks really good," Lee Seung-cheol said, "Your face has improved too. What did you do?" Regarding this, Kim Yong-jun confessed, "It was done by a senior in the past," and confessed, "Last year, I had blepharoptosis surgery. I couldn't open my eyes. I cleaned it up once last year." In response, Lee Seung-chul emphasized, "I'm at an age to pick it up a little," but "I didn't."
Among the male stars, Kwanghee from the group ZE:A is the 'aid of plastic surgery confession'. Kwang-hee, who did not receive attention compared to other members during group activities, made a strong point called 'confessing the fact of plastic surgery', which could be a fatal weakness. Kwang-hee's candid appearance was imprinted on the public, and Kwang-hee was able to become a 'star close to the public' with a friendly image. It was a clever idea to capture both upgraded visuals and a friendly image.
The gaze toward 'decorating men' is less flexible than the gaze towards 'decorating women'. It is still perceived as conservative that men decorate rather than women decorate. For this reason, male stars' confession of plastic surgery may be more difficult than female stars' confession. Male stars who chose to 'confess about plastic surgery' rather than 'discovery of plastic surgery' are more honest with the public than before and after.
