China Tourists Tops the Charts

It’s a bit of a shame when more than half of the country’s medical tourists are from China and yet there have been rising cases of the dissatisfied and dismayed. In 2013, more than 25,400 Chinese travelled to Seoul from China looking out to beautify themselves through Asia’s beauty haven with its cutting edge technology and preferred expertise. Some say it’s the appeal of Korean entertainment and music, with celebrities touting the next look, who could resist? Yet, among the district’s hundreds of clinics, not every single one of them is a safe bet. As much as advertisements around subways or buses have led you to believe, it’s a dangerous world in Gangnam street. Dangerous in the sense of there being too many options to choose from, leaving one to wonder who is really trustworthy? Advertisements boast beautiful jaws from jawline surgery and large, even eyes can be achieved in Seoul.

This is probably a one in a million kind of incident to happen, but lately there has been news of a burglar who got away from his misdeeds through a rather peculiar method: Korean plastic surgery. You’d think that only hip and competitive youngsters would opt for surgery in today’s image-conscious Asia, but no! There are burglars who have decided to advance their careers, too! They, too, also desire to perfect their craft! The art of burglary now goes hand In hand with plastic surgery.
Reported by the Korea Herald, this burglar fellow claimed to have gotten surgery because he wanted to feel better about his shortness. So what did he do? Robbed people!

If we look at this lovely chart that shows the average cost of Korean plastic surgery, this guy could’ve done jawline surgery for ninety-six times if he so felt like it!
