South Korea is a country where plastic surgery clinics are like dental clinics – they are everywhere. There are big and small clinics all around the city and female high school students even ask for plastic surgery as graduation gifts.

Despite being a country where getting plastic surgery is as easy as getting your teeth cleaned, not everyone approves of it. Take for example this young woman’s mother:

Her mother took to Hello Counselor, a Korean talk show where people, regardless of age or gender, are helped with the struggle of communication barriers causing problems with their relationships, to express her concern toward her daughter’s obsession with plastic surgery.

Her daughter’s plastic surgery addiction began at the age of 14 when she asked for double eyelid surgery. Afterwards, she asked for a nose job where her mother strongly disagreed. But she still got the surgery despite her mother’s disapproval. How? She works in a fast food chain and walks home instead of taking the bus to be able to save up for her operations.

When asked which celebrity she was achieving to look like since it seemed like she won’t be stopping from getting plastic surgeries anytime soon, she answered Kylie Jenner.

“I have much pride. There’s none in Asia… There’s a foreigner named Kylie Jenner — she has a hot figure and she looks exotic,” she said.

Find out how the cast members, guests and audience approached her obsession with plastic surgery by watching the latest episode of Hello Counselor on VIU: inq.news/HelloCounsel-308-pop
