SEOUL - The Mao suits and high-sided haircut is easy to copy, but the similarity between the person Kim Jung Un and his grandfather Kim Il Sung has for months sparked rumors in South Korea that the third and last Kim at the helm North Korea underwent surgery in order to reflect the "Eternal President." nation is possible, the doctor admits Kim Byung Gun, founder of the Hospital of Plastic Surgery BK, the largest in Seoul, view pictures of Kim Jung Un, the chubby son of Kim Jong Il, who died Dec. 17.
"But I doubt that they have such skills in Pyongyang," North Korean capital, said.
Here in Seoul, the city's self-proclaimed "Belt Beauty" is packed with over 200 plastic surgery clinics offering cutting edge technology and expertise that have made cosmetic surgeons in South Korea famous throughout Asia, and popular among Asian Americans, too a lot.
The dictators aside, most people here are focused on pop culture celebrity at the touch of a "Korean Wave" throughout the world, said Kim.
"Nearly all movie stars and singers had plastic surgery, so people who love them want to have the same surgery," he said.
North Korea has just opened at the best of years, is now closed to all foreign tourists. But the South is actively seeking more visitors, especially high-cost medical tourists, like Nguyen Van Anh. He kept a photo of your favorite actor in Korea, which is designed to look like, Nguyen prepared for surgery on the nose in BK.
"I want to be beautiful, so I am not afraid," said Nguyen, 31, who flew from Vietnam to Singapore with her husband, for the operation.
For three years, the estate agent has watched and wept, almost daily, as an actress Song Hye Kyo simpered through various television series, dubbed in Vietnamese.
"The beauty is very natural and harmonious, even though I know that he had plastic surgery is," said Nguyen. "They are all beautiful in Korean television series."
China has also fallen below the magic of South Korea. Korean fashion, make-up and the music is readily accepted by other East Asians, and much more easily than the often bigger American or European projects, said Wang Na, 27, manager of the school in Beijing.
"Their faces are best suited our faces too," said Wang, who just completed a double eyelid surgery, a common procedure for Asian women seeking a more Westernized look at BK Kim hospital. Chinese visitors now constitute 90% of foreign patients BK, and total foreign business is 30%, depending on the hospital.
Wang said he hopes to do the nose-reduction surgery in the next trip to Korea and pushing her fiance, so far without success, to have his nose done, too.
South Korea will welcome more than 150,000 medical tourists next year, from 120,000 in 2011 and 82,000 in 2010, predicted Min Kim Ji, a member of the medical department of tourism in the state Korean National Tourism Organization (sixth). The largest and fastest growing sector is the plastic surgery, he said.
Approximately 32% of medical tourists in South Korea that the United States to China rising fast in second place. The quarter figures include U.S. troops stationed in South Korea. Korean Americans and other Asian Americans are the main target customers of the U.S., Kim KTO said.
Expenditures in BK is approximately two thirds of the price in the United States, but in any surgery can cost even several thousand dollars.
In contrast to Caucasians who are reluctant to "cut the skin on the face" and prefer breast surgery, liposuction and facelifts, Asians "are very willing to have invasive procedures to change the face and body," especially the eyelids, nose and facial bone surgery, according to Kim, the doctor.
Some are very eager, alert Giny Kho, a medical officer working in Seoul Medical Tourist Information Centre.

A handful of Asian tourists, toting pictures of their idols, betrayed signs of psychological problems with adherence to the look, said Kho, a nurse for over 20 years.
Seoul post office assistant Lee Kyung Mi, 28, was in the hospital to prepare for the correction of chin and jaw surgery, the fifth surgical procedure of plastic. She denied the persistence or try to copy his favorite actress Han Jee Min.
"I saved my salary and get a discount now," explained Lee about how it offers eyelid and nose jobs, facial fat grafting and breast enlargement.
