What book can explain why South Korea has become the capital for cosmetic surgery?

>> No.15730316

>>15730290
cosmetic surgery is only one aspect among many that speak to a bigger problem in that country, it's lack of a cultural identity beyond capital.

Not the guy but I think their national identity of being a Korean is based in relation to other ethnicities.
Like how they have conscription to combat their neighbour to the north and their notorious education system is the Japanese model on steroids. Their politics are also mostly about international relations with Japan, NK, USA, and China.
If SK was a person he'd be that guy who always compares himself to others internally and all his problems stem from that.

nah disagree on that one. the thing about japan was that they had such a serplus of culture that they could accept a mass amount of American culture while still being very unique. even a cursory glance at japanese society shows great influence from americanism. Baseball, the government system, use of english words, use of japanofied americanism.

the critical difference is that americanism didnt suplant the extinent culture, but instead was additive.

It means that feminized men with an underdeveloped ego and low self-confidence desire women who look like submissive teenagers instead of a proper adult warrior goddess. Most men, and certainly many in Asia, would have no idea what to do if they ever landed a date with a woman strong in both spirit and form. They would run away, because her grace and raw beauty would act as a foil to reveal what a miserable cur they are. It is easier for them to avoid developing themselves, instead seeking a woman with an underdeveloped face of a child to make them feel and appear strong in comparison -- it requires less of them in contrast. Most men are intimidated by strong women for obvious reasons. The face on the left has clear classically attractive features that make her more dominant than the limp wrist, make-up wearing half men that litter Korea.

Because it makes them hot. Korean culture is very superficial, and it was encouraged by a dictator they had in the 90s. Also if you ask Korean women they will tell you Korean men's standards are abnormally high.
