We live in a society that constantly tells us to chase after beauty.

Koreans tend to be excessively concerned about their physical appearance and this has contributed to the growing number of plastic surgery clinics in the country.

The Korea Times had a chance to meet Oliver London, who flew all the way from the United Kingdom to go under the knife at a plastic surgery clinic in Korea.

He introduced himself as a huge fan of Jimin, a member of the K-pop boy band member BTS.

London agrees he was past the point of being just an avid fan of Jimin, such as buying BTS merchandise and concert tickets. He now wants to look as much as possible like his idol.
