강남미인
Gangnam beauty

Gangnam beauty refers to someone who’s attractive

but looks as if they went through a number of plastic surgeries for a pretty face, a hot body, or both. Gangnam being Seoul’s most affluent area, 36% of plastic surgery clinics in Korea are located there according to Gallup. Gangnam beauty is a euphemism for a plastic beauty or a plastic beast, depending on the context. Both expressions, which are pretty self-explanatory, have been around since the early 2010s.

    Koreans are already beautiful even without plastic surgery~ It's ok to do little touch ups but sometimes people are obsess with plastic surgery and over do it😢

    At least Koreans don't do the duck lips. I don't understand what is sexy with the duck lips. Maybe I'm just ignorant.😂😂😂
