South Korea ranked first among the world’s highest cosmetic surgery loving country. Thus it can be perceived that South Korea is one of the vainest countries around the world.
Another thing to take note of it is the metrosexuality that is prevalent in the country. What is metrosexuality anyway?
Metrosexuality Defined
Metrosexual men are those that are straight or not yet are very selective of their skin care products. They are very attentive with their skin regimen, the way they carry their selves and the way they dress up. This trend has always been present in the country but has been fueled by the influencing standards of K-pop stars.
Wearing makeup, wearing trendy clothes and being fashionable isn’t just a status symbol in South Korea; it is also the natural way of men there. Effeminate men are changing the way the society has their men look like, strong and masculine.
Another thing that made metrosexuality acceptable in the country is the constant approval of many women, it’s the idea that men should be taking care of themselves and their health. With this idea, SK already has become a major defining role in the beauty industry around the world.
Metrosexuality and More
So there is more to South Korea aside from its promotion of men`s beauty hygiene and its being the fast growing industry of beauty product around the world. South Korea now became a haven of those who are seeking trend in cosmetics
In make ups, there are three trends that many start to emulate now. They are listed below:
1. The gradient lips. This can be achieved through a series of makeup trick. One has to put on a noticeable lip color then start to soften the edges through smudges or through concealer.
2. Puppy eyes. Instead of an upward liner curl, the trick is to point it downward. This creates a sad eyes but cute too.
3. Puffy lids. This is called Aegyo-sal. Though many today would purposely look for a treatment or a cosmetic surgery to be able to look stress free, dark ring free and puffy lid free, Korean women are trying to put back or recreate the little fat under the eyes. They believe that it makes eyes look brighter and younger. Mostly this is achieved through contouring and through some major
They are just little things of a much bigger landscape of what’s hot in SK. Now for the major cosmetic surgery trend, Korea seemed also to sport some interesting things. See below:
1. Blepharoplasty. And the goal is to make eyes look wider, create a double lid and recreate the western eye look. Many Korean women and men today are clamoring for this surgery.
2. Rhinoplasty. Koreans certainly love perfectness; a little nose job keeps their overall look complete. Plastic Nose surgery had Korea at the top of those countries who offers it.
3. Lip lift. This procedure involves an operation to lift the lips and facial muscle to form that eternal smile. Some may have critiqued it as homage to jokers grin but it has its unending benefits.
Whether you think it’s hot or not still you can’t deny that Korea is now one of the leading trend setter in the world.

I am all for doing your best to look good, but these ppl are just taking it too far… These surgeries tend to make people look unnatural. I don’t get what the fuss is all about.

That’s their beauty standard, men being feminine and fans have come to accept that and they find it even more attractive. (I find it cute too).
