The popular entertainment industry in Korea is notoriously competitive. It generally takes years for tough training before an artist can be debuted. Yet dozens of new artists or groups are introduced to the market each year, creating intense pressure for the artists in the field and their need to maintaining their appeal, including their physical attractiveness.
