Wow, if this isn't fake, then i gotta admit that this is one of the rare cases where such an operation really did a good job. He looks like a really handsome man now, before he looked ultra nerdy.

Perfect quote. Judgments by such guys who disapprove of plastic surgery therefore shouldn't be questioned! It doesn't really matter, does it?

Also, he has a girlfriend. Definitely a keeper, considering she was there before his disfigurement.

Dunno, so many people have plastic surgery that you wouldn't even think about because
1. You didn't see them before
2. They look completely normal

Plastic surgery is not only about getting huge boobs or making ugly facelifts on aging hollywood stars.
If this makes Supernova happier I'm happy for him for doing it

I wouldn't even touch a girl that did plastic surgery. At least we are far away from this crazy culture in asia. Aren't the Japanese even crazier with their culture?

Meh.

Plastic surgery on the boobies is tricky though, i had touched some that feel like football balloons (literally) and others than are pretty good. I prefer naturals tho, but never say never.

I've met some koreans before and after plastic surgery and all of them had an attitude change. More like thinking they are top shit. Guess its good for a confidence boost, while I have to do it the old fashion way to look good
I didn't want to work so I didn't.

the Japanese may be "crazy" with their fashion culture and what not but for the most part in Asia the plastic surgery craze is within South Korea. Look at the surgery that supernova got, you may not noticed it but after i think (?) he has "double eye lids". koreans highly value this look for example.

Obv he needed surgery at a earlier stage. Poor guy could barely open his eyes. But then again, thats probably why he was a pro gamer, longer lengths without blinking.


I'm suprised there hasn't been more discussion than this on whether the surgery actually makes him more physically comfortable, and maybe have better vertical peripheral vision.

It bums me out that Koreans so strongly associate beauty with Western looks. I don't think I ever expected a SC pro to get plastic surgery, but I probably shouldn't be surprised.

Did he really have non-eye surgery?

You'd be surprised how many actually already had it done, especially those who earned well and have been in the limelight.

A little off-topic, and I dont want to sound ignorant or rude. But comparing the two pictures, in the first one it looks like he can barely see out of his eyes because they're so close together. With the surgery, does he have a broader range of vision now? I sort of imagine it being like holding a piece of paper right infront of your eyes, cutting your vision range in half. Or maybe a better analogy would be peeking through your fingers when you have your hand across your eyes.

idk.

just wondering >.>;;

Asking a question to fill a space of ignorance with an answer is not racism.

I didnt mean to sound racist at all. It's like squinting your eyes and then opening them wider, I would assume he can see a lot better now, and more light is getting into his eyes than before.

This. I mean if someone really feels unhappy about his appearance I can somehow understand the need to change it, well not personally but I guess I could get that, but I checked for a good minute the pictures to check if the ears were the same, the neck, because I really couldnt recognize him at ALL, thats just wrong, it's not the same person...

Double eyelids do not give better vision, it's just fashion.

And anyone saying Supernova looked better before needs to have THEIR eyes surgically fixes. Everyone is allowed to their own opinions on plastic surgery, but trust me, the vast majority of south koreans, westerners, and every single other person, will prefer the new looks. I personally think it would be pretty sweet if people could be happy with their own looks and be respected for how they look no matter what, but you just sound like a dumbass if you try to make the case that plastic surgery as it's done in Korea usually makes you look worse, because that's flat out wrong. There's a good reason why pretty much every single famous young korean you know, be it a movie star or a music artist, has had work done. There's a reason they look as good as they do, and it's not that plastic surgery makes you look ugly.
