Why Is Cosmetic Surgery So Normal in Korea? | The Story Real Korea

The Story Real Korea by Jacob Lee

Episode notes

In parts of Seoul, clinics stack floor after floor of the same building, and procedures are discussed with a casualness that surprises visitors. We look at how it became normalized — appearance in hiring, media standards, the concentration of clinics, and medical tourism — and we take the criticism seriously too, including the pressure it places on young people and the pushback growing inside Korea. — Hosted by Jacob Lee.
