I am flying to KOREA tomorrow. This picture was taken 3 years back, when i was having much of a k-pop fever. Head to toe, Korean style, everywhere i go, people thought i am from Korea.
However, i have never been to Korea at all, this will be my very 1ST TIME! Excited but nervous at the same time as i am going for PLASTIC SURGERY! After penning down my thoughts on surgery, a lot of kind friends reached out to me, including actors, doctors even k-pop artist manager, offering sincere help.
I'm speechlessly grateful to all the kind souls out there. Some supporters wrote to me encouraging me "to do what my heart feel", while few long-time fans actually pm me that they were petty much affected thinking that they might not see my same face again. Sorry that i have to break the news of going ahead with my plastic surgery plan.
But i will not disappear, i will keep everyone posted every now & then. From my previous post, i was informed that one of my shortlisted hospitals actually do have its clinic in Singapore. I immediately rushed down the next morning to meet with the Founder of BK Plastic Surgery Hospital, Dr Kim Byung Gun.
He was only in Singapore for one day and flying off the next, lucky that i caught him. Dr Kim is a famous plastic surgeon, he is the one i just seen on channel news asia. He has also went on various international news like USA cnn, UK bbc, France canal+, Australia network10, Korea mbc, Tv Tokyo future century japan.
