The Korean Pageant Contestants Who Look Insanely Similar Finally Competed

[jakeXT]

In a 2009 survey, one in five women in Seoul between the ages of 19 and 49 said they had had some type of cosmetic surgery. From the photos alone, it’s difficult to tell how much photoshop might have assimilated the pageant contestants’ appearances. But now that the pageant has happened we can begin to answer that question. Photos from the event suggest both photoshop along with a very specific cultural ideal of beauty contributed to the contestants’ very similar physical appearances in these photos.

1. So, all Korean women look alike…

After spending almost a couple of years in that country, this is not the first time that I've heard it.

I thought that it was bullshit then…
