We all know that plastic surgery is a dirty secret in Japan and an open practice in Korea. But what about China? Well, here's a demonstration of the perils of tampering too much with with what nature gives you. Fashion model Li Ying Zhi has had some work done on her face, especially her chin, as can be witnessed by comparing her appearance in 2012 with a recent one in 2014. This is the stunner in 2012 at the Beijing Motor Show, promoting BMW. But these days she looks rather different (admittedly the quality of the images is also somewhat to blame for the ...

Sometimes models and actresses get a little bit of help to look better and further their career. But this is an extreme case. Japanese porn star Rina Nanase/Rumi Kanda has been having a series of plastic surgery operations to her eyes, nose and chin because she believes having a very spade-like look makes her look cuter. Similarly to how former curvy gravure idol Yuuri Morishita has turned her face into a weird shape, Rina/Rumi has also become not so much "glamorous" as emaciated. The result? See for yourselves. She looks like an alien or even Dobby from Harry Potter. She has also been ...

It's an open secret that many gravure idols and Japanese TV celebrities use plastic surgery to enhance their appearance. While this is even more prevalent in Korea and relatively openly admitted to, it is still seen as a bit of a deception in Japan. How do the girls get that innocent doll-like look? Often not just through their genes, it seems. Only does the occasional lady break the silence and tell the truth. One idol and actress attracting attention at the moment is cute Rika Adachi, who has a very lovely pert butt, not to mention a very "pure" face. At a recent event Twitter users ...

The Japanese geinokai (entertainment industry) has several open secrets: that idols have to sleep with their handlers in order to get ahead, as revealed by former stars; that drugs are rampant; and that plastic surgery is also common. It's rare for a model to break the conspiracy of silence about any of these. When Miss Japan model Biwon admitted that she had had some work done, there was much shock over the revelations. Plastic surgery is notoriously widespread in Korea but, despite Japanese people's admiration for Korean women's beauty, the "fake" aspect of this is used to denigrate ...

Finally do we have proof that plastic surgery has gone too far in Korea? Right now the Japanese internet is enjoying just such a gloat as they peruse the entries for Miss Korea. Why? Because the ladies look so similar it is virtually impossible to tell them apart unless you look at the Hangul names. It's no secret that plastic surgery is rampant in Korea -- as opposed to Japan, where it is common in the celebrity world but kept an open secret -- but does this mean that everyone starts to look the same, with the same kind of generic beauty? The girls look lovely but ...

Former Miss Universe Japan runner-up, model, and actress Biwon has admitting having plastic surgery last year. We found this amusing because many Japanese girls like to discard the amazing bijin quality in Korean women with the excuse that it's all just due to plastic surgery. Certainly it is more common and latent on the peninsular. However, it's a dirty secret in Japan (along with how idols essentially have to sleep with their management at the start of their careers) that many idols and singers have used plastic surgery to enhance their "perfect" look. Unlike Korea, though, few will ...

Appearing to promote the new AKB48 offshoot band Not Yet, Yuko Oshima sat down with the super plastic Kano Sisters, Kyoko and Mika. Livedoor reports that Oshima had actually been wanting to meet the sisters for a long time and got her chance during a very intimate interview section on the music show Hey! Hey! Hey!. Not one to mince her words, Oshima dove right in saying she had been a big fan of the sisters and had a few requests very reasonable requests. "I want to put my hand in your cleavage!" "I want you to put my face in your cleavage!" "Kiss me!" The truth is that our adorable ...
