these girls are only in highschool but why do the vast majority need glasses? glasses are a fashion/fad in korea. I know plenty korean people who don't really need glasses but wear glasses. not a big fan of it personally but whatever floats their boat
No.Most students in high school actually wear glasses,about half.Im not joking.
There arent many who where glasses for fashin in school,only one or two.

Plastic surgery as fixing your entire facial structure, or just fixing your eyebrows or nose bridge?

I like their ideals, no one is born with anything and everything comes from hard work. Plastic surgery seems like an extension of that, some people are born "naturally beautiful", but that doesn't mean they're the only one who have the "right" to be beautiful. I don't see why that idea should be shunned, people don't ask for their physical features. They should have the right to be unhappy with them if they want to be, and not just accept that's the way things are. A world where we don't have to accept anything as impossible seems to be a place where anyone can achieve whatever they put their sweat and tears into?

Well then what about everyone looking the same.I see girls have the same nose because they went to the same doctor.They dont have individuals, they're fucking clones, establishing whats pretty or not and they all follow the big eyes,eyelids,high nose,narrow chin they're epitome beauty.

Studying 16 hours a day for highschool is silly. Even for a PhD it makes no sense.
High School was really easy and could be done with minimal attendance, effort and motivation, while still landing 80-90s.

The standard of education across the pacific is drastically higher than education in America/Canada. They are years ahead of us in teaching. 16 hours might be excessive, but attendance and motivation are necessities in that sort of environment.

I highly doubt there's the "ideal" in that sense. I don't think they're trying to be clones of someone they admire, seems like they want to change a specific feature that brings down their overall look.

OK this is just an example, but what is the point of, say, making a 14 year old learn organic chemistry, something they will find extremely difficult at their age, when by the time they are 18 (the approximate age of learning organic chemistry in the West), the concept will be easily easily transitioned into their minds? They have no advantage by the time they are 21 years old plus. Cramming them at such a young age is pointless, when all that stuff can be EASILY caught up from ages 16 onwards.
The most important thing in my opinion to teach young kids is critical and scientific methods of thinking, basic maths skills and language skills. No need to cram them with subjects that are EASILY taught at an older age.

9 hour test? damn...

If they think it is more beautiful, even if only they themselves think that, I don't see why we should be against them. Like in America, braces are super popular and it's pretty much the same thing. Changing facial structure to something that will boost your self confidence. Maybe you don't agree with it but idk how people can be against it..

I think it's the exact opposite of US society. Here, now a days we are given everything with minimal work, while Koreans have to put in maximal work for very little return. I barely pay attention in class at university, and I stand to inherit more assets than I could possibly need, while they study for so long in a super high competitive environment. At least I'll be at the top of the bubble when it bursts, and all the hard working asian students will get what they truly deserve.
I think it's interesting that Korean girls place so much interest in their faces (trying to look more anglo), even though they have much fairer skin than most North American girls. It's strange that they go for face jobs rather than boob jobs like most american plastic surgery clients.

Boob jobs are done here as well (probably the number 1 procedure for the body), but overall most Koreans go for facial surgery, yes. That, and it also seems to me like body surgery, especially boob jobs, are a lot more taboo here in general.
You should see some of the crazy types of surgery available and openly advertised, though. My gyno in Korea has pamphlets advertising vaginal tightening surgeries. O.o

This is probably why Korean are so good at starcraft. They play it with the same dedication as school. This is why you most Korean gamers have really bad grades in school, with the exception of OPTIMUS FUCKING PRIME. But yes, everything they do they put forward their effort and dedication. In America, you could be a good student and a progamer.... Too bad you suck compare to everyone else, but it's still acceptable.

Oh really?? That's very interesting, I didn't know that they were also into body surgery. And yeah, vaginal surgery is also really popular in the states as well, so that it doesn't show through bathing suits, and also so that your partner doesn't "think you're ugly," it's a strange world we live in hah.

Well let's look at the size of SK compared to say the USA, and imagine the ratio of people competing for limited university/job space. Here there are a ton of private and state schools available, so even those that do only slightly above average in school have access to the type of education slot that, for example, maybe only 1 out of 5 Koreans that applied could get into over there. Thus you have a lot more people actually trying hard to improve their chances, others see that and also try harder, and the system sort of moves along naturally.
