Today I'd like to discuss about this topic
This video is showing a part of popular variety show "Non-summit (비정상회담)", in Korea. In this show, foreigners who are from different countries and lived in Korea for a long time discuss about hot issues in Korea.
This part is discussing about unemployment problems. These days, To get a job is compared to "War" between young men who prepare for being employed in Korea. But competition is more harsh day by day and it became a "Spec war". Spec is actually derived from an English word 'specification' and it means educational background and abilities of English or foreign languages in Korea. Also, it includes a variety of certifications and even an appearance is became a standard of evaluation. It is caused by hard competition and low opportunities to get a job.
To get better opportunities than the others made a new word "plastic surgery for getting job" (취업성형) and grew a tendency among young people having a cosmetic surgery.
-So how do you think about this tendency?
-What do you think about plastic surgery for getting job? Is it necessary?
-Have you ever thought about having plastic surgery?
-What do you think about the beauty oriented society in Korea?
-Do you think that there is a difference between a cosmetic procedure and surgery ?
