Is it normal to discuss plastic surgery like it’s no big deal? > Issue

I’m a foreigner working in Korea, and one day my coworker casually told me:

“You’d look so much prettier with double eyelid surgery.”

She smiled and meant it as a compliment. I know she wasn’t being mean, but I couldn’t help feeling uncomfortable.

In my country, talking about someone’s appearance like that – especially at work – would be super inappropriate.

But here, it feels so casual. People even talk openly about surgeries they've had or want to have.

Is this a cultural thing? Should I just get used to it?
