A pair of twin sisters who were deemed “too ugly” was lucky enough to get sponsored to go under the knife by the show. The twins honestly didn’t look so bad, but they could have had some dental work done. However, the doctors on the show transformed them into “new and improved” twins, who are still identical but look totally different from who they were before.
Lately, South Koreans have been making news for their obsession with plastic surgery. Images of this year’s Miss Korea pageant showed all 20 finalists looking just the same. A 2012 report by The Economist states that South Korea has the highest rate of cosmetic surgery per capita. 20 percent of women in Seoul between the ages of 19 and 49 admit to having had some kind of beauty ‘enhancement’.
It must be an overwhelming experience to go through such a drastic change. Every time the twins look in the mirror, it must freak them out. They seem happy, but I do hope they realize that their kids are going to look nothing like the new them.
