How Did America Affect Korea’s Beauty Standards?
(The double eyelid surgery started in the 1950s by an American Surgeon.)
“I Was “The Ugly Korean” is a story about self-identity as an Asian American. I debated finishing this video countless times and never thought I’d share it. It’s uncomfortably personal, but damn, it made me feel something. I hope it makes you feel something too. *This video is not made to criticize plastic surgery. I believe people should do what makes them happy. Simple as that.”
