In South Korea, where beauty standards are both pervasive and influential, cosmetic surgery remains a topic of ongoing social speech.
Motivations behind the increase in breast
Recently, a post on the popular online forum Learn it triggered an intense debate between the netizen regarding the reasons behind Increase in breast specifically challenging the idea that these procedures are carried out exclusively “Self -compliance.”
The anonymous poster began by sharing an anecdote about a woman who appeared deeply insecure on her breast size, believing it was the source of personal exampling.
According to The Post, this woman felt envious after her dear friend suffered an increase in the breast and started receiving more attention from men. Lacking both the financial means and the courage to undergo surgery, presumably projected his frustration for others, vilifies the women who had suffered the procedure.
The poster then questioned the validity of the topic “for myself” often mentioned by people who have undergone aesthetic surgery, in particular the increase in the breast. “If this world did not have men, would people still go under general anesthesia for surgery that is not even visible in everyday life?” They asked, questioning the idea that the procedure is purely a personal decision.
The wider debate
The post attracted hundreds of answers, many of which echoed to similar skepticism. Some commentators have argued that breast improvement is mainly motivated by the desire to appeal to men and that the society’s emphasis on a certain type of body strengthens this pressure. The post wrote, “Having a bigger chest does not make the other women treat better, we are honest, it’s for the male gaze.”
Others, however, rejected this perspective. The supporters of the logic of “self -satisfaction” underlined body autonomy and personal empowerment. “Just as people get a dental work, make up or go to the gym, cosmetic surgery can be heard safe. It is not always men”,.
However, the original poster challenged these opinions, suggesting that individuals should interrogate where their insecurities originate. “It’s okay to say that you’re doing it alone”, They wrote, “But do not ignore the fact that much of this perception of self can be modeled by a society that constantly connects the value of a woman to her physical charm.”
- Girls, even if you don’t have a chest, as long as you are cute, fascinating or you have a good personality, you can still go out with guys … lol. To say that you cannot have a boy because you don’t have the boobs does not make sense (it is probably not the real problem). It is more likely that you want to feel more loved by combining male sexual preferences. Get general anesthesia systems, don’t say that it is only for yourself.
- For me, for me, the type of plastic surgery that I understand the minimum is the increase in breast. Like seriously, do people really want to push those Squishy systems into their bodies?
- In these days there are so many “CNG girls”. They work hard to grow the breasts and live as they receive love from men.
- I don’t care if others receive breast surgery or not; I couldn’t care less needed. Why do you spend your time and efforts to make so much for breast surgery, even by writing post about it? Haha, it’s so funny. Haha, writer, is your chest small?
- Usually, people do it for the reason you mentioned, but there are also people who do it because it is a real complex for them.
A reflection of cultural pressures
This debate reflects wider social tensions in South Korea, a country known for its high rate of cosmetic surgery and deeply rooted beauty standards. While the individual agency should be respected, discussions such as this highlight the complexity of distinguishing personal choice from cultural conditioning.
Since the public discourse on the image of the body continues to evolve, one thing remains clear: the reasons behind cosmetic surgery are rarely simple. Both for self -confidence, social acceptance or external validation, each case brings its own context and deserves a weighted consideration rather than a judgment.
