A viral post circulating online has sparked major discussion after claiming to reveal which celebrities are most frequently brought up as reference photos during plastic surgery consultations, along with the specific eye and nose styles they represent.
According to the post, which is said to be based on input from current plastic surgery clinic workers, patients often categorize their desired results using commonly known aesthetic terms in Korea and the celebrity that is best known for it.
