I won’t name the idol because it doesn’t matter since this idol is probably just one example of far more underage idols who are forced to go under surgery by their agency. The excuse of loosing weight or baby fat is starting to grow old. A lot of idols are having plastic surgery. Nothing wrong with having plastic surgery when your main money source are partially visuals. Getting plastic surgery shouldn’t necessarily be patronized - except when minors are forced by their agency to get plastic surgery.
While I have to admit the initial problem are not only the agencies but the parents as well but would write several books if I was talking about the negligence of idol/trainee parents in this industry in general, so let’s just start with this essay
It is just unbelievable how the industry is exploiting the insecurities of idols and use especially the trainees in a very vulnerable time of their life to indirectly or directly force them into taking a decision that could change their life for better or worse. Doing cosmetic procedures like fillers or botox are already very risky but invasive procedures like jaw shawing or nose jobs on pubescent persons are a type of dangerous that should not be taken lightly and it should quite franklynot be allowed. In formal, plastic surgeons are not allowed to work on teenager but in reality, we all know that with the power of certain industry player and I guess - a tons of money - formal boundaries are often intentionally ignored. It is already controversial that some adult idols or trainees are persuaded to do really invasive and irreversible procedures but it definitely goes overboard when not fully grown teenagers are exposed to such treatments. All in all, there should be more safety measures for teenage trainees and the risks of plastic surgery alone should be enlightened to the idols and their parents.
