Korean Host Slammed for Pre-Show Plastic Surgery

Solbi (솔비), host of the popular Korean show Music Core, has been roundly criticized by fans for having the audacity to show up too soon after plastic surgery.
In the latest airing of Music Core, Solbi appeared with a face that was clearly swollen; MBC message boards were flooded with negative messages, with many “fans” comparing her to a steamed dumpling that had swollen in size.
Fans soon deduced that the puffiness was the result of plastic surgery, forcing the host/singer to own up to having undergone a surgical procedure.
Solbi admitted to having had surgery on her eyes some days prior to the show; her procedure aimed to make her eyes look wider by making incisions in the inner corners of her eyes.
Apparently, Solbi felt that the surgery did not change her looks enough to be noticed, and so opted to go ahead with the show.
She evidently miscalculated, as sharp-eyed Korean fans complained that “the modification you should have had is for face swelling” or “you are disappointingly plastic.”
Such Internet rhetoric is common in Korea, with such scathing vitriol at times responsible for everything from hunger strikes, to suicides and early retirements from show business.
And whilst getting plastic surgery is relatively common among Korean females, and endemic amongst celebrities, candidly admitting to having appearance enhancing surgery is still taboo…
Via Allkpop.
One wonders why Solbi ever considered plastic surgery in the first place given that even prior to the surgery, she was not unattractive…

Why do people automatically think, that just because an Asian wants eyelid surgery, that they are trying to achieve Western features?
Some Asians are born with a double lidded, so what do you call them?
its the western arrogance, are you new to the world? some white people think everything is about them.
Actually no, it is the Asian lack of self-esteem (or I guess just Vietnamese).
Ok, this post will sound like a troll post but it is factual. Basically, I am average looking for an Asian male, can get girls just fine, made nearly 6 figures before quitting to do a Ph.D., know 4 languages, not exactly lithe but quite strong (can bench press 250lbs), etc etc.
And my parents absolutely want me to marry a white girl even if I have to pay her. Now, I have absolutely nothing against white girls, as my closest friend on Earth is a Caucasian guy, but wtf, that comment turned me off from the whole idea of dating white girls...
So no, I believe that the idea of "wanting to be white" did not start from arrogant white people, but rather from people of the old Asian generations.
I like how he brought up all that extra shit for no reason.
even a 6 figure Ph.D had someo otaku needs..... LOL
lol yeah you're a 6 figure Ph.D posting on a nerd anime site who doesn't know the meaning of the word "lithe"
the only people who have "asian lack of self esteem" are Chinese like you. and yes. from your post, posting about your "closest friend on Earth is a Caucasian guy" yes you are Chinese.
Lol Korea?
why bother with surgery? she looked good before
she thought that the public won't be able to notice it...
HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAAHaha
steamed dumpling that had swollen in size. emmmmmm... deliciious....
Korean Face. LOL
man so gross the cutting of their eyelids like seriously whats the point?
Connect to friends world is one of the place to meet your favorite celebrity face to face : http://focusa2z.com
Why the pretty girls are the ones having plastic surgery??
They should do that to the ugly ones so they become pretty!!
If you call that kind of korean netizen comment vitriolic, you should see the Starcraft fans. When KeSPA disqualified an old-school player twice in the same match, the internet was literally ablaze.
A nation full of Micheal J's in the making!
Wow Korea, your culture sucks.
LOL~ swollen face? is tat only temporarily?
anyway? wat's happen with all these plastic surgery stories?? Jin, are you interested in that? LOL
Actually, Artefact wrote the other one. It was just coincidence that we picked similar subjects.
too bad. She was way better looking without the plastic.
Ah, the wider eyes deal, seems like a lot of Asian women are trying for that. Is it for a more western look, or animu?
More western.
Of which can you really say that the anime characters hardly ever really look "Japanese"? Best example of someone that looks Japanese in anime is Kanuka Clancy from Patlabor...and she's supposed to be half Japanese...
they're trying to look black.
like dorian cornelius' mom
Just looks like makeup a push up and a bad tan.
In before make yourself taller, go become an heroine, etc. With all the string of epic suicides in South Korea, I'm expecting more combos to be connected, and the highscore pushed higher.
MEH~
Didnt she realise it when she put on her makeup?
나 고시원 산다..
별 세계 이야기 지겹다...
Na, taip, bet kam išvis imtis tos operacijos jei rezultatas vos pastebimas?
한글로 좀써봐
Didn't ANYONE realised it?
Umm wtf, she was hot beforehand. Who talked her into this?
its not permanent this is just recent side effects that would go away after awhile
I don't understand why so many people are against plastic surgeries. If the outcome is better and (mostly) undetectable(unfortunately on many occasions it's worse), I don't see a reason to bitch.
I totally agree with you. It their choose and if they are happy with the outcome, Yay for them.
cuz nobody likes a faker
then i guess you dont like scarlett johannson, anglina jolie, kim kardashian, jennifer lopez, beyonce or halle barry
since they've all had nose jobs, eyes job and other procedures
Well, I look on the end result. If it's better I don't care. I prefer a fake beautiful woman than a true ugly one.
And it is very strange to hear that on an anime related site. All anime characters are FAKE.
Well, Fake beautiful people are good for one night stands and stuff.
"Well, Fake beautiful people are good for one night stands and stuff."
Says a full of shit commenter that uses Anonymous to make sure nobody will ever know how ugly they look.
oh well, if it's a general talking we're into, then i'm with you. I mean, loads of people have bad traits, and most of them simply can't live keeping them as they are.
I've known girls who use no make up and are 100% likely to have had no plastic surgery, and they're still very quite attractive.
Unfortunately, they're also very boyish and I question their sexuality.
i do recommend to you, xavi, to take another look at her before the operation.
it's not like we're comparing a fake beauty to a ugly pig, we're talking about a real beauty (or at least, with just make up), going for surgery FOR WHAT ? that i cannot understand.
she could have asked me, i could have banged her before. with a smile, even.
Good luck finding a professional model ANYWHERE that isn't a straight-up liar.
Also, good luck finding, dating and sleeping with any woman that doesn't have a pound of MAKEUP on at any given time.
Make-up, surgery, hair gel, contacts....HUMAN BEINGS NEED THIS.
Because humanity is a technological species. We're genetically dependant on our tools and our ART.
Some of that art we just happen to WEAR.
How very shallow of you
@Vegio:
I don't disagree with that. Obviously the person in question doesn't need a plastic surgery at all, my comment was of general nature, as I've stumbled upon too many "hate" comments about them.
Not necessarily fake, more like non-existant.
Faces adjusted by plastic surgery = A LIE.
Makeup is the ultimate lie.
If that were the case then Korean girls as young as 16 wouldn't be getting this done.
I would agree, if I'd ever seen a surgically altered face that looked better than a natural one. The line between beautiful and plastic is a fine one, and I've yet to see surgery fall on the former side of it. Rampant photoshopping does little to help clear things up.
you've never actually noticed the really good surgery jobs. you only notice the bad ones.
Because many humans look for whatever avenue they can exploit to place themselves higher in a social hierarchy, and requiring or cosmetic surgery can be seen as a form of weakness.
