Alarming Instagram Trend Gains Traction Among Korean Influencers

Instagram has recently become a place for an alarming trend, drawing both attention and concerns from netizens.

Through Instagram story’s Q&A feature, questions can be asked anonymously and answered comfortably, so it’s perfectly suited for asking about information people have been curious about.

Plastic surgery is an ever-present topic in the Q&A sessions of influencers whose appearances constantly make headlines. Some influencers also consistently share results of their plastic surgeries.

Choi Jun Hee, an influencer and daughter of the late actress Choi Jin Sil, has drawn attention by openly sharing everything from her plastic surgery process and recovery to her future surgery plans on her social media.

She has used her social media as a platform for sharing information by revealing her look immediately after facial contouring and eye surgery and providing vivid personal reviews.

Recently, ahead of eye surgery, she shared a photo listing precautions with the comment, “Hehe, I’m excited,” sharing her situation just before the surgery. After the surgery, she posted a photo showing the remaining swelling with the caption, “Someone just returned from hell,” signaling more candid reviews to come.

Despite concerns raised by some about her excessive procedures, Choi Jun Hee has consistently shown an open attitude toward plastic surgery, saying, “Life is a one-time journey; I want to be the best version of myself.”

Broadcaster Maeng Seung Ji has also joined the trend. Maeng recently caught attention by requesting information on her Instagram, saying, “If you know a clinic that removes Indian wrinkles, please recommend it. They get worse when I’m tired.”

Maeng had previously complained of a side effect—sunken cheeks—after contour injection and had attempted to revert to her pre-procedure look several times by dissolving lip fillers. However, not long after, she began touching up her face again.
