K-pop idols who are breaking Korean beauty standards



Korean beauty standards are not progressive and have influenced thousands of women all over the world to change themselves with the help of numerous expensive plastic surgeries.
It is very common in South Korea to get plastic and cosmetic surgeries in order to justify these standards which are basically the objectification of a human body with no superficial individuality. But gen Z is changing these conventions and bringing an era of inclusive beauty standards. These K-pop idols are not adhering to these old-fashioned beauty standards and are looking even more beautiful with their unique features and with a fan base, growing in millions.
