maybe it's all about hair implants for babies
it's amazing how an ethnicity can hate itself so much and nobody says anything.Yep. It's becoming increasingly popular in South Korea. Competition to succeed is fierce. In places like China, Taiwan, and South Korea being beautiful goes hand in hand with success. When you send in your resume or CV letter you have to send in a picture of yourself. They want to see if you're young or old. Short or fat. Light or dark skinned. The lighter your skin the better chance that you'll be hired. Whitening creams are very popular in Asia. In South Korea they can even go back to your medical records to see if you have physical or mental issues. They want the perfect candidate.
Anyway, babies in South Korea are getting the skin snipped under their tongues so they can speak better English. Some Asian mothers are nuts.

As for Asians and their eyes, I'm not quite sure where this comes from. I've gotten mixed explanations and many feel that they aren't trying to look more European. This phenomenon seems to be limited to North-East Asia. Places in the north where widespread Western colonialism didn't take root. I haven't heard of it as much in places like Indo-China and the Philippines. I think there's just a preference for larger eyes, on women especially, because they're seen as more expressive. I once dated a Chinese girl with small eyes. She was very self conscious about them. Though she never really explained it to me.

Take a look at the eyes. It looks like the baby had double eye lid surgery. It's a very popular procedure in Asia.
Asians love big eyes.
