“We constantly absorb messages that aesthetic self-improvement will make us feel empowered and good about ourselves. But it's so often a mirage. What an isolating feeling, doing all this unsatisfying, unrecognized labor.”
― Flawless: Lessons in Looks and Culture from the K-Beauty Capital

“Beauty, “in the form of cosmetics products and cosmetic surgery,” researcher Sharon Heijin Lee writes, “is one of [Korea’s] most profitable export industries, even economically outpacing its manufacturing and shipbuilding industries, the two industries upon which the Korean economy was first built.”
