It's hard to deny the western influence since the point of the eyelid surgery seems to be to make the eyes "more western," whatever in the world that means. But at some point, the influence must end and the cultural obsession takes over. At some point, the Koreans have to be seen as responsible for their own..well..craziness. This isn't like the British forcing opium on the Chinese.
