The New Yorker Magazine, published day: March 23, 2015, Letter From Seoul About Face, "Why is South Korea the world's plastic-surgery capital?" by Patrica Marx.
I used to think that technology was everything, while neglecting the culture of beauty. However, after reading this article, I was surprised that people were willing to risk their life for beauty, and I realized how limited my knowledge about the world was.
