Kpop Idols’ Secrets

Botox, Everywhere

It’s no secret that Korea is the capital of plastic surgery.

However, did you know that instead of changing their entire face, K-pop idols often use Botox to change small parts of themselves? These small changes make a huge difference to their faces and bodies.

For example, some K-pop idols get Botox beside their nostrils to prevent their noses from flaring sideways when they smile.

Another popular area for Botox is space between the neck and collarbones to create the appearance of unnatural “L” shoulders.

These are just a few ways K-pop idols achieve their perfect and flawless look.

Beauty Treatments

K-pop idols spend most of their time dancing on stage, sweating heavily, and wearing heavy makeup, which might seem like a recipe for bad skin.

To counter this, they receive skin treatments once or twice a week to keep their skin radiant and youthful despite the stress.

Affordable and easily available treatments, like laser for acne scars, are common in the K-pop space.

Skin-Whitening Injections

How did Blackpink’s Lisa go from having tanned to almost snow white skin?

It is speculated that many idols use this popular procedure called the “IU Injection”, named after the Korean singer and actress IU.

This procedure involves injecting Glutathione, a skin-whitening antioxidant, directly into the blood stream to inhibit melanin production, while brightening and whitening the skin.

Extensive Diet Plans

K-pop idols are known to be extremely slim – a reflection of the Korean ideal, though unrealistic, body standards.

How do they achieve this? Through intensive dieting, of course!

In an interview, Suzy, a former member of Miss A, revealed that she only eats two sweet potatoes for dinner everyday, with her total daily calorie intake being less than 1,000.

Targeted Fat-Burning Treatments

In addition to intensive dieting, K-pop idols have also adopted carboxy therapy, a non-surgical treatment injected into parts of the body to smooth and get rid of cellulite stretch marks.

From under eye circles to the thighs, carbon dioxide is said to be able to be injected under the skin for weight loss and firming benefits.

According to sharp-eyed netizens, A telling sign of carboxy therapy is bruising at the injection site.

Body Modifications Through Hip Pads

Interestingly, K-pop idols are almost required to appear skinny yet maintain a curvy proportion, often emphasising wider hips.

To create that illusion, hip pads are commonly used, which also makes the waist appear smaller.

This might not be immediately noticeable as idols are constantly moving and dancing.

Beauty Filters

Beauty filters are prevalent and almost universally acceptable nowadays.

K-pop idols are no exception! It is speculated that K-pop idols always have a skin smoothing filter applied to them, even when performing on stage!

Thus, it’s no wonder they look flawless from every angle.
