About this episode
Plastic surgery is more popular than ever, and women are paying an incredible amount for it. The epicenter of the plastic surgery industry is undeniably South Korea — Seoul leads the world in plastic surgery rates. Elise Hu experienced this culture firsthand as the NPR bureau chief responsible for coverage of North Korea, South Korea, and Japan. In her new book: “ Flawless: Lessons in Looks and Culture from the K-Beauty Capital ,” she explores if our constant drive to look “better than ever” will ever be enough.
