1. I don't have a problem with this on a personal level. If the women feel that...

...they WANT to do this, I certainly can't dictate their feelings.
On the other hand, if they feel like they are not beautiful in their own natural way...it saddens me.

4. I am not sure that anything was done to the women themselves.

Looks like the photos were photo shopped to the extent all of the contestants look very much the same.

2. They are pretty girls on the right side. They all look like the same version of a Korean Barbie Doll

on the left.

sometimes Photoshop sucks.

3. Read the comments section

"I’m seriously going to murder number 17…" (top right corner)

"What kind confidence does the bitch like number 13 have to crawl out and compete?" (second row, second column)

"Number 5, 7, and 9, come and greet your customers you sluts.. Number 14, in you go. If they ask for someone else you are dead." (14 is the girl in the fourth row, second column)

6. Internet anonymity makes people ugly,

crude and stupid. I hope none of those girls reads that garbage.

7. The after photos look like the same girl in different outfits.

I think those posters were trying to be funny.

8. I would like to believe that you are correct

However, the site seems primarily visited by Koreans, the girls actually do not look all alike if you are Korean. I mean even with the same makeup, they are quite different looking to an eye that dismisses the similarities. Plus, and I hope you don't view this as offensive, Korean men can be chauvinistic.

Again, it would be nice to believe that they are trying to be funny, but I think they are purposely devaluing the women.

10. They look much more alike in the after than the before

pictures, and they are Korean in both.

11. You do have something here

"Ideal beauty" is only a few adjustments away. And while the adjustments are the subject of the OP, they are not what my post is about, though I value that aspect.

My concern is the unbelievably tacky machismo demonstrated by some of the comments.

12. misogyny

without question. Through the internet we see what people really think.

5. Apparently they all hired the same stunt-double

9. We have the same thing here

Like all those blonds around Hugh Hefner. I don't know how he tells them apart.
