Final Project: South Korea's Plastic Surgery Madness

For my semester project I decided to focus on the issue with women in South Korea and plastic surgery. Women in Korea all want to look the same (v-shaped jawline, big eyes, sharp nose, white skin). They crave the male gaze because they want attention.

I made a video, which was basically putting things together to explain the issue with plastic surgery in Korea. I wanted to do my project based on this topic because in the future I wish to be a counselor and I think it will give me ideas on why people have low self-esteem and a negative perspective on themselves.

The main audience that I am making this for are the people who believe that they are unworthy and believe that plastic surgery is the answer. Therefore, I am making this project because I want to send a message that everyone is beautiful in their own way. I also want to make a change in media, especially in South Korea because they tend to choose looks over talent in most cases. I think that they should take them in for their talent, not the way they look.

Here is my video:
