Why do Korean celebrities all get LASIK?
The South Korean entertainment industry is known for its high standards and good looks. Kpop idols and artists not only need talent, but appearance management is also an essential part of their careers.
In recent years, more and more Korean celebrities have chosen to undergo laser eye surgery for nearsightedness. This is not only a matter of personal health and convenience, but is also closely related to marketing strategies and image management, as idols' appearances are almost equivalent to brand assets. Whether performing on stage, filming music videos, or sharing daily life on social media, idols need to always maintain their best condition.
Although glasses can showcase an intellectual or cute side, in most situations, a frameless face highlights your facial features, making your makeup and style more complete.
Contact lenses are convenient to wear, but wearing them for long periods can easily cause eye discomfort and dryness, and may even affect performance.
Laser eye surgery for nearsightedness can permanently solve vision problems, allowing idols to face the camera in the most natural state anytime, anywhere.
Make artists more like artists
Kpop stage performances emphasize dynamism and precision. If your vision is poor, or if you get distracted due to contact lenses slipping or dryness, it can seriously affect your performance and even cause accidents.
After laser eye surgery for nearsightedness, artists can have clear vision, enhancing stage safety and professionalism. In addition, many artists need to participate in filming and practice for long periods, and reducing dependence on glasses or contact lenses allows them to focus more on their profession.
In recent years, contact lenses or regular glasses are no longer just 'necessities' for seeing clearly, but are now part of matching with clothes and hairstyles.
This is also why, when Korean celebrities endorse contact lens ads, what often catches the eye is the dazzling colored lens styles rather than the transparent, colorless types commonly worn by the public. This reflects how today’s society’s demand for contact lenses and regular eyeglass frames has long surpassed their original intended purpose.
Social Media and Self-Exposure
In the age of social media, interactions between idols and fans have become more frequent. Content such as selfies, live streams, and vlogs requires artists to constantly present a natural and approachable image. After taking off their glasses, their facial features appear clearer and their expressions more natural, which can increase fans' affection and loyalty.
Many idols even film Vlogs before and after surgery to share their recovery process. This not only increases content diversity but also allows fans to feel the idols' authenticity and hard work.
Health and Long-Term Career Planning
Entertainers work long hours and face high stress, and wearing contact lenses for extended periods can easily lead to eye problems. Although laser eye surgery for nearsightedness carries some risks, today's technology is advanced and the recovery period is short. For entertainers who need to stay in top condition for the long term, it is a health investment worth considering.
This also aligns with modern people's pursuit of 'self-management' and 'healthy living,' further enhancing the idol's positive image.
In Korea, undergoing Smile ReLEx or Smile Pro ReLEx (called Smile Pro 2.0 in Taiwan) mainly promotes having the surgery today and returning to daily life the next day. Even if a rising celebrity suddenly gets the surgery, they don’t need to spend much time to recover.
