According to available data for 2013, more than 16,000 Chinese went to Korea to have plastic surgery, which indicates that for every 10 foreigners who receive plastic surgery in Korea, 7 are from China. The incidence of malpractice in plastic surgery has increased accordingly, growing by 10 to 15 percent every year.

Ji Weikun, Mi Yuanyuan, and Chen Yili have all been victims of failed plastic surgery. Their dreams of beauty have turned to nightmares after returning from Korea. Although they were all good-looking women before, severe postoperative infections, face deformities, and skeletal deformities are the permanent souvenirs left by their voyage.
