The worst part is Daehee was already a handsome guy. He didn’t need surgery at all. It’s so messed up how plastic surgery is so normalized in society these days.
Agreed! I closely scrutinized the few pics & video clips and can’t see anything wrong with his jaw? Certainly undeserving of bullying and also the doctor claiming blood loss stemmed from his “unusually large jawbone”?
Yeah I wonder if beauty standards for men are different in Korea or something? Cause at least in the US, having a wide jaw is usually considered very attractive on a man. It really is sad that he lost his life for something like this.
@@furygeist This happens in plastic surgery clinics all over the world. I highly suspect that this is a normalized pattern of behavior in the world of plastic surgery because all plastic surgery horror stories I’ve read have had similar mistreatment by doctors and nurses towards patients no matter where in the world the story came from.

Should make a film about this woman. It's so hard to go up against a weak judicial system that favours big companies. She is an angel for her son and for every ones safety in koeea

i think an episode of Taxi Driver season 2 was based on her; similar story line; a botched surgery done by a ghost doctor who took over after the head surgeon left. but the differences are; it was a father who staged the protest. another difference is, the daughter came out of coma and recovered.

Because Korea is a weird dystopian hyper capitalist country. Instead of royalty, the biggest companies are the stand ins for royalty. Everything is essentially the drip down symptoms of this. Insane levels of corruption, lack of care for said corruption, gross negligence, lack of empathy, and a wealth of societal issues. South Koreas economic growth has grown so fast that many things haven't catch up yet as a push back to the negative effects.

In South Korea if you don't look beautiful or handsome you will not be able to find a job, I mean those Korean companies liked hiring people from the S.K.Y Universities and if you are not from these top 3 Universities, the only way to be hired is to be drop dead gorgeous/handsome.

Daehee was super handsome, it's so sad he focused on a perceived flaw. You will ALWAYS find someone who loves you for real no matter what you look like!
I know! He looked exactly like an idol or one of the guys off of a K drama... his jaw was perfectly fine the way it was... I'm sure someone teased him about it and it stayed with him. Unfortunately we all have things we hate about ourselves but in this case there was absolutely nothing wrong with him. He was very handsome, I just wish he'd seen himself the way we see him 😢 Makes you stop and think that maybe we should compliment those around us, it may stop them from doing something like this... maybe if his friends or even a stranger had told him he didn't need it and was handsome that it would have built his confidence... His poor Momma.... I'd love to see an entire documentary on her. Im glad that even way over here in Texas I'm learning his name ❤ his last wish came true, he is leaving a mark on the world ❤
It's not about love. It's about his future. Korea is highly competitive & shallow. In order to have a comfy future, you need to be employed by the top 5 companies like Samsung & Hyundai. To get to those companies you need to be graduated from top schools & beautiful. To get into top schools you need to be bright & yes you also need to be beautiful. Many Koreans with decent jobs & income have to live in small minimal flats so that they could look beautiful, dress expensive & eat out in fancy restos because otherwise people would ignore you.
This is tragic and the world is cruel. Bully culture leads people to plastic surgery. And the worst part is these beauty standards are only going crazy and crazy
Beauty standards is going more crazy because people follow it. It's being normalized and it's not right. Everyone is unique and beautiful, we just need to accept our flaws and respectful to others. Also, getting old is normal it's not a sin to look old. It's human nature you can't stop aging. Your just being fooled to buy very expensive skincare products that work exactly the same as cheap products. I'm not against skin care, just against to expensive products that have the same effects and materials with cheap ones.
As sad as it is for Dae Hee’s mother to lose him, she’s a real life superwoman and willing to go that far to get justice for her son, enduring all those harships along the way. Even also willing to fulfill her son’s wishes and create a law in memory of his name 😭
I will share this on my FB account. The more awareness occurs, then will reform happen. It's so sad that this happens and loss of a medical license should also happen for violations, not just being sent to prison. Greed is the root cause of these terrible events. The only time I've seen a doctor in Korea was to treat an ear infection as a small child. I'm 56 now so no ill effects. I'm surprised that I survived a gangrene lower large intestine at a small hospital on welfare healthcare in the US.
What that mother achieved was incredible and emotional. That woman should have a book, documentary and/or a film. Her relentless fight for his son and the way she put his name in the world must be known by everyone🥺💜
My heart goes out to Daehee mother its's hard to watch the sadness in her eyes. Love your channel I'm a big fan. Saludos from Venezuela ,South America.
Thank you for sharing this Megan. I'm dealing with a lifetime of medical negligence and cruelty by the NHS - the state healthcare system of the UK. Thankfully I woke up just in time that for 23 years of my life - the NHS mental healthcare was the problem and I wasn't. Their torture began in 2000 and it wasn't until last year that things fell into place ... The story of the boy's mother, and her pursuit of justice and holding those accountable and not giving up - well, it struck a chord with me to the point I actually cried. I will hold the UK's healthcare system accountable for what they did to me - I am alive despite them.
I still remember Charlie Gard’s case and the attorney’s desperate claim: “Give them some peace!” I felt that the system was tailor-made to punish those desperate parents trying to save their kids despite everything, instead of saving the child. They were punishing them for the attempt to try to save the child abroad, for the attempt to go against the system, at that moment I saw the monster.
I don't normally cry when I listen to any kind of crime cases, but Daehees story and his mom's painful journey lasting almost a decade ripped through my heart. 💔 My he rest in everlasting peace. ❤
my heart breaks watching the mother in pain. its also infuriating how all the staffs were so nonchalant and very negligent about everything. they gave zero F's about the safety of their patients.
One of the world's bestest mother, she brought to light an issue that gave justice to her beloved son and protected many others after him. My heart goes out to her and her pain, it's so hard to heal and fight for that, I hope she's still healing well and coming to peace. ❤❤❤
😱😱😱 what?!?!? ☹️☹️☹️ he was totally fine before surgery 😢😢😢 what in the world was the surgery for? Unbelievably corrupt prosecutors!!! Daehee’s poor mother - what a fighter 😢
Korea's beauty standard and bullying is such a serious case in the country. Everyone has become so vain and visual obsessed. It's like, there's no room anymore for flaws or else you're pretty much a laughing stock to them.
@@aera.1999 Which is so weird because in America, here, we would just beat the shit oht of someone for constant unneeded mockery, harassment, bullying, if your not bigger than the person you're bullying they'll tear you to shreds to defend themselves and sometimes they wana beat your a** lol, but yeah I do really feel bad for how their beauty standard system thingy works, nobody can just exist they have to be perfect all the time, that is tiring and not true
@@mar420.74Dude really ❗ The bullying cases I've seen can't even happen in Indian Hindi medium schools or Government Schools,they will tell the whole school about the bully & then his value will decrease to oblivion
Ugh this is so unfair and heartbreaking…. That poor mother to lose her son like that… Daehee was a good looking man he didn’t need that unnecessary surgery… I hope he’s resting in peace and that his mama finds peace… as for those “doctors” there’s karma for them how dare that they were not held responsible for his death
☹️ bullying is a very big problem in korea. The boy was good looking in my eyes. I dont understand why he was bullied for his looks. Plastic surgery is dangerous in any country. The risks are high. Yet in some countries the plastic surgeons encourages it and in some countries like korea this has become part of culture. I think plastic surgery should only be done on people who medically need it. Or if their is congenital anomaly like cleft lip. We are raising the beauty standards which is getting oit of control☹️ Also what you said about training. If the trainee is for some degree or certificatiin then they are allowed to perform assissted surgery initally and later independently. This is not illegal than how do u think they will learn to perform surgery.
The mom was very courageous. 7 years of fighting and being persistent paid off. Daehee was handsome. A strong jawbone is very attractive on a man. ❤ If only he were surrounded by people who didn't belittle him.
It’s sad to lose a loved one to sickness, it’s worse to lose them when they go under the knife by choice. The blame for his death is on the plastic surgery clinic and society, he was a handsome young man. God bless his mom and give her strength and may he rest in peace.
Thank you Megan for telling this case with real compassion and concern for the victims family the victims mother is a person to be admired and respected the world over 🙏🏼
My hearts tears just flow with Daehees Mother... ❤️🩹 How brave in her heartbreak she was and will be always. I will pray for her and grieve with her as well as carry her beloved sons wish as I will never forget his name and contributions to the world. 🙏 She is a true warrior. ❤️
I think there was an episode in the drama "Taxi Driver" about a similar case. It's scary to think that someone else would be operating you without any knowledge. And thw audacity to say that wasn't his fault. Gosh people are reay scary.
The fact that all those medical staff including the nurses were so unbothered. 🤦🏻♀️ I know deaths are not something new in their line of work, but being aware that it was out of their neglect, how do they sleep at night???
It’s so sad to see such a lack of concern for someone’s life and so much suffering endured by both Daehee and his family for no good just because someone wanted some quick cash. I’m glad to see the Kwon Daehee law exists, so at least he gets to leave his mark after all… but that does NOTHING to ease the Kwon family’s pain or replace their loved one. I can’t believe this is even happening in the world today and good for you for bringing it to a platform that will help spread the word and maybe help bring even more change and less pain for others.
What a tragic story and such great love and determination this mother had in fighting for her son and honoring his life by making sure his death not be in vain. God bless her and may Kwon Dae-Hee rest in peace.🪷
It seems as though there is no individuality promoted in SK. I have trouble telling these K-pop artists apart. Especially since the beauty standards are so brutal there. His mother deserves grace peace and healing. I hope she gets it one day. You never get over the losing of a child. Ever.
Thanks for covering this, Megan. More attention should be paid to this issue because many people don't know the possible risks of disfigurement down the road. It's frightening how many people chase the perfect physical look...🙈💜
Another amazing video, the quality of the production is topnotch. All of it further emphasized by your amazing narrative skills ! The story really moved me, Daehee’s mother is such a courageous woman, she deserves to find peace and solace. I can barely begin to imagine the pain she’s had to go through during her legal battle while grieving her son. It’s people like her who make the world a little bit fairer and a little bit better.
Bless his mother for being so tenacious after such a needless tragedy. Shame to the gutless prosecution for not seeing justice get done. Pitiful. Hopefully the mother can open the eyes of Koreans to the rampant malpractice going on.
Nope it’s definitely way younger than 17! Whilst I wasn’t around a lot of people that said they wanted plastic surgery, there were individuals including myself who said they wanted to change a feature of themselves! I think I started wanting to change the feature of myself since 14 or something!
Honestly, I find the increasing normalization and prevalence of cosmetic surgery is unnerving. Why have the Eastern cultures become so superficial and vain? The only plastic surgery that instill betterment of our society is that of reconstructive surgery. Having artificially enhanced looks may get one the attention (and sexual encounters) one seek, but it doesn't result in a beautiful baby.
I totally agree and you can fix your face and looks artificially, but you cannot fix your DNA. Plus, looks fade with time, especially artificial looks. Plastic surgery can even make your looks worse in the long run as it wears out and you have to keep on maintaining it.
That's why the cycle continues. All these people end up having "ugly"(in their eyes) kids that resemble their pre-surgery selves. When the kids are old enough they get pushed towards plastic surgery again.
What an amazing woman and mother! After all her suffering, pain and work that ultimately brought about a disappointing result she still found a way to ensure that her son’s name and life would be remembered and attached to a law that protects others. I hope she’s found some peace.
Thanks a million for this case as I have not heard of it. I did hear about some cases here in the US where some have died during their plastic surgery operations. Surgery of any kind always comes with risks which is why I would never have any type of surgery that is not health related. I feel so bad for him and his family. His mother is a strong and loving mother who reminds me of my beloved late mother. He was already so handsome and did not need any kind of plastic surgery at all. Those who bullied him or anyone should be ashamed of themselves. There are bigger factors that come into play which are focusing too much on looks and bullying. South Korea really needs to improve and change those 2 issues plus others if they want to become a better society and create a better life for their people. If people were not so focused on looks, these plastic surgery clinics would not even need to exist and none of these cases would have ever happened. Looks fade with time, especially artificial looks which can deform your face down the road so always need to be maintained. You need to feel good about yourself mentally before anything. Plastic surgery is a quick fix that you may regret down the road. My heart goes out to his mom and family. Hope he is in a happier and better place now and that cases like this will not happen again. I sincerely hope people learn to look beyond anyone’s outer appearance which would help prevent these cases. Kwon Dae-hee did not die in vain as he left behind a legacy that will hopefully help spread awareness and save others. Kudos to his wonderful mother for making her voice heard!
I am just thinking of the pain Daehee suffered during the procedure and whose life was taken away because of the bunch of irresponsible medical stuff. I can't believe such a thing can happen in South Korea! Daehee was already a good-looking man, still he was bullied! These incidents will never stop until people realize that the definition of beauty is beyond someone's outer looks. I wish instead of feeling compelled for plastic surgery, he shared his distressing thoughts with his mother! South Korea is a land where almost everyone is sufficiently educated, but it's really shocking to see that some of them don't understand the real meaning of beauty! Daehee would be alive today if he was appreciated for who he was and maybe if he got proper counseling. The medical negligence also shows the poor transparency and accountability from government. How come a developed country like South Korea can run such a medical corruption! I salute the mother who continued her battle until proper justice despite facing multiple failures. Public awareness and parents-children communication should be more strengthened. Clinical counseling should be provided with children so that children like Daehee who think they do not look good enough, can be encouraged to prove their own worth and establish their own identities without being sad for their present look.
How can you serve only a number of years in prison for causing someone's death? Also, the prosecution is so corrupt. They repeatedly dismiss any violation of medical law simply because he/ she is a classmate of the lawyer? How low and corrupt can they be? It's so frustrating listening to these kinds of cases. I can't believe SK's judiciary is this weak esp to corruption. It saddens me so much.
how come its 0.3% chance for the victims when its soo obvious of the malpractice, blood loss during surgery should not be like that at all. they did not even prepare for the blood before the operation since it should be a prevented how could you wait for emergency situations! every second counts.
It saddens me to realise how people are so much consumed by the unrealistic beauty standards. I have no idea who decides what's beautiful and what's not. Reconstructive procedures which correct defects are acceptable, but undergoing "mandatory" procedures to get the 'perfect' face or look like an idol is plain stupidity. Why does our self worth have to be validated by what others think is good or bad? Avoid comparing yourself to other people- You're perfect the way you're!
The plastic surgery norm must stop, especially in Korea. It is just sad and why shld people idolise those artiste or singers/influencers who obviously underwent plastic surgery? Isnt that cheating in a way to their audiences?
I am glad I got my plastic surgery after investigating the surgeon's career. He is almost in his retirement age and with decades of experience. I am a Finn and I went for a cheap surgery to Estonia (so called cheap country for us Finns, just like Americans going to Mexico to get cheap drugs). I got my surgery in 2015 and had not adverse events since. The hospital staff became nice after I said "thank you" and smiled at them. Before that they were quite grumpy. But you can win hearts for your side for just thanking and smiling.
@@minariv8300 I checked the feedback on him. Not so many people in this area so it is quite simple to find out information about a certain person. Finland + Estonia = ~6 800 000 inhabitants. If a doctor fails, the feedback is fierce.
People can make you feel inhuman, do they can feel good, bullying should be a criminal offense, people should be jailed really. People should have emphathy
This is terrible these people pretty much got away with what they did to this woman and her son 😔 I applaud this strong mother for not giving up on justice
I’m so glad I found this channel! I love Asian culture and I love mysterious dark and creepy environments ! definitely a great suggestion for sure ! Thanks TH-cam ! Finally something good!
Tbh, I really liked the way you presented the cases before, like your former method of telling the story in the way a journalist does.. Anyways, am a very old fan of yours and I still do follow you. Thank you for bringing forward these cases, Megan!
Hello Megan, for me, I will never go under the knife regardless of how I look. On the other hand, Dr who practiced this kind of procedure without valid license and experience should be brought to justice.
It's illegal for plastic surgeons to saw jaw bone in the U.S. because it is extremely risky, but I guess many Koreans are willing to take a risk in order to have the V shaped jawline. Daehee was unfortunately a victim of those incompetent medical staff and the society thar fosters vanity over safety and inner beauty. Clearly, it was not necessary for Daehee to get surgery but the pressure to achieve superficial beauty was eating him up. He was a nice looking man, but he didn't see himself that way.😢😢😢

He was very handsome, I just wish he'd seen himself the way we see him 😢 Makes you stop and think that maybe we should compliment those around us, it may stop them from doing something like this... maybe if his friends or even a stranger had told him he didn't need it and was handsome that it would have built his confidence... His poor Momma.... I'd love to see an entire documentary on her. Im glad that even way over here in Texas I'm learning his name ❤ his last wish came true, he is leaving a mark on the world ❤
It's not about love. It's about his future. Korea is highly competitive & shallow. In order to have a comfy future, you need to be employed by the top 5 companies like Samsung & Hyundai. To get to those companies you need to be graduated from top schools & beautiful. To get into top schools you need to be bright & yes you also need to be beautiful. Many Koreans with decent jobs & income have to live in small minimal flats so that they could look beautiful, dress expensive & eat out in fancy restos because otherwise people would ignore you.
So sad. R.I.P Kwon Daehee. He was beautiful just the way he was. 😢
What a mother, utmost respect for her.
a mother's love is indescribable. thank u for covering this case.
Ah! Plastic surgery, the indirect way of insulting someone's looks by pretending to worry about them.
Yea.
SO TRUEEE
Right
This is tragic and the world is cruel. Bully culture leads people to plastic surgery. And the worst part is these beauty standards are only going crazy and crazy
Beauty standards is going more crazy because people follow it. It's being normalized and it's not right. Everyone is unique and beautiful, we just need to accept our flaws and respectful to others.
Also, getting old is normal it's not a sin to look old. It's human nature you can't stop aging. Your just being fooled to buy very expensive skincare products that work exactly the same as cheap products.
I'm not against skin care, just against to expensive products that have the same effects and materials with cheap ones.
As sad as it is for Dae Hee’s mother to lose him, she’s a real life superwoman and willing to go that far to get justice for her son, enduring all those harships along the way. Even also willing to fulfill her son’s wishes and create a law in memory of his name 😭
I will share this on my FB account. The more awareness occurs, then will reform happen. It's so sad that this happens and loss of a medical license should also happen for violations, not just being sent to prison. Greed is the root cause of these terrible events.
The only time I've seen a doctor in Korea was to treat an ear infection as a small child. I'm 56 now so no ill effects.
I'm surprised that I survived a gangrene lower large intestine at a small hospital on welfare healthcare in the US.
What that mother achieved was incredible and emotional. That woman should have a book, documentary and/or a film. Her relentless fight for his son and the way she put his name in the world must be known by everyone🥺💜
This case is heart breaking,he deserved better, no parent deserves to loose there son like this
what an amazing mother oh my gosh. not only did she get justice, but she fulfilled her son's wish. and it is not a easy wish to achieve either.
My heart goes out to Daehee mother its's hard to watch the sadness in her eyes. Love your channel I'm a big fan.
Saludos from Venezuela ,South America.
This is why you shouldn't bully someone for their look ! He was handsome. Lord may his soul rest in peace
I feel so bad for his Mom. Daehee looked just fine the way he was and didn't need any surgery. Such a sad story all around.
What a strong mother, fighting for her son ❤
Thank you for sharing this Megan. I'm dealing with a lifetime of medical negligence and cruelty by the NHS - the state healthcare system of the UK. Thankfully I woke up just in time that for 23 years of my life - the NHS mental healthcare was the problem and I wasn't. Their torture began in 2000 and it wasn't until last year that things fell into place ... The story of the boy's mother, and her pursuit of justice and holding those accountable and not giving up - well, it struck a chord with me to the point I actually cried. I will hold the UK's healthcare system accountable for what they did to me - I am alive despite them.
Nhs tried to kill me under Corona virus 🦠 deception. Still feeling nhs attack Left me weak, dizzy and Lost muscles
I still remember Charlie Gard’s case and the attorney’s desperate claim: “Give them some peace!” I felt that the system was tailor-made to punish those desperate parents trying to save their kids despite everything, instead of saving the child. They were punishing them for the attempt to try to save the child abroad, for the attempt to go against the system, at that moment I saw the monster.
I don't normally cry when I listen to any kind of crime cases, but Daehees story and his mom's painful journey lasting almost a decade ripped through my heart. 💔 My he rest in everlasting peace. ❤
my heart breaks watching the mother in pain.
its also infuriating how all the staffs were so nonchalant and very negligent about everything. they gave zero F's about the safety of their patients.
One of the world's bestest mother, she brought to light an issue that gave justice to her beloved son and protected many others after him. My heart goes out to her and her pain, it's so hard to heal and fight for that, I hope she's still healing well and coming to peace. ❤❤❤
😱😱😱 what?!?!? ☹️☹️☹️ he was totally fine before surgery 😢😢😢 what in the world was the surgery for?
Unbelievably corrupt prosecutors!!! Daehee’s poor mother - what a fighter 😢
Korea's beauty standard and bullying is such a serious case in the country. Everyone has become so vain and visual obsessed. It's like, there's no room anymore for flaws or else you're pretty much a laughing stock to them.
@@aera.1999 Which is so weird because in America, here, we would just beat the shit oht of someone for constant unneeded mockery, harassment, bullying, if your not bigger than the person you're bullying they'll tear you to shreds to defend themselves and sometimes they wana beat your a** lol, but yeah I do really feel bad for how their beauty standard system thingy works, nobody can just exist they have to be perfect all the time, that is tiring and not true
@@mar420.74Dude really ❗
The bullying cases I've seen can't even happen in Indian Hindi medium schools or Government Schools,they will tell the whole school about the bully & then his value will decrease to oblivion
Ugh this is so unfair and heartbreaking…. That poor mother to lose her son like that… Daehee was a good looking man he didn’t need that unnecessary surgery… I hope he’s resting in peace and that his mama finds peace… as for those “doctors” there’s karma for them how dare that they were not held responsible for his death
☹️ bullying is a very big problem in korea. The boy was good looking in my eyes. I dont understand why he was bullied for his looks. Plastic surgery is dangerous in any country. The risks are high. Yet in some countries the plastic surgeons encourages it and in some countries like korea this has become part of culture. I think plastic surgery should only be done on people who medically need it. Or if their is congenital anomaly like cleft lip. We are raising the beauty standards which is getting oit of control☹️
Also what you said about training. If the trainee is for some degree or certificatiin then they are allowed to perform assissted surgery initally and later independently. This is not illegal than how do u think they will learn to perform surgery.
Sadly in toxic societies where bullying is prevalent, those bad bullies will find any excuse to bully you.
Yes u said it.
Agreed,that’s why there so many suicide cases even among celebrities 😢😢
The mom was very courageous. 7 years of fighting and being persistent paid off.
Daehee was handsome. A strong jawbone is very attractive on a man. ❤ If only he were surrounded by people who didn't belittle him.
I love how you narrate your crime stories♥♥
It’s sad to lose a loved one to sickness, it’s worse to lose them when they go under the knife by choice. The blame for his death is on the plastic surgery clinic and society, he was a handsome young man. God bless his mom and give her strength and may he rest in peace.
Respect, a woman who doesn't let her feelings of grief take over but goes after the perpetrators. An example to many. Be strong!
R.I.P 😢 you're handsome ,just the way you are . 😢 You don't need that surgery at all .
So sad. 😔
Kudos to the mom. She is so brave. Thank you, Megan for covering this.
Don't mess with Mother's
Aint nothing stronger than a Mother's Love...
Or a father’s love too.
Wow, what a awesomely persistent woman, so much respect for her. Truly sad what happened to her dear son.
this is the only video from this channel that made me cry, god bless the mother and may dae rest in peace
Thank you Megan for telling this case with real compassion and concern for the victims family the victims mother is a person to be admired and respected the world over 🙏🏼
he so handsome…..i’m tearing up seeing how powerful motherhood could be. omg. bless her
My hearts tears just flow with Daehees Mother... ❤️🩹
How brave in her heartbreak she was and will be always.
I will pray for her and grieve with her as well as carry her beloved sons wish as I will never forget his name and contributions to the world. 🙏
She is a true warrior. ❤️
This is really a heartbreaking for a mother. Hope they got all the justices served .
I think there was an episode in the drama "Taxi Driver" about a similar case. It's scary to think that someone else would be operating you without any knowledge. And thw audacity to say that wasn't his fault. Gosh people are reay scary.
That episode came to mind once I watched this video, it's a shame things like this happen on a regular basis.
Which episode is it?
@@yullovelevolluy Episode's 9 and 10 of season 2
Yes I also pointed it it out in my comment
The fact that all those medical staff including the nurses were so unbothered. 🤦🏻♀️ I know deaths are not something new in their line of work, but being aware that it was out of their neglect, how do they sleep at night???
Exactly! I feel so disturbed just by reading the comments, I couldn't watch the whole video. I'm so sad for Dae Hee he didn't deserve that.
It’s so sad to see such a lack of concern for someone’s life and so much suffering endured by both Daehee and his family for no good just because someone wanted some quick cash. I’m glad to see the Kwon Daehee law exists, so at least he gets to leave his mark after all… but that does NOTHING to ease the Kwon family’s pain or replace their loved one. I can’t believe this is even happening in the world today and good for you for bringing it to a platform that will help spread the word and maybe help bring even more change and less pain for others.
What a tragic story and such great love and determination this mother had in fighting for her son and honoring his life by making sure his death not be in vain.
God bless her and may Kwon Dae-Hee rest in peace.🪷
It seems as though there is no individuality promoted in SK. I have trouble telling these K-pop artists apart. Especially since the beauty standards are so brutal there. His mother deserves grace peace and healing. I hope she gets it one day. You never get over the losing of a child. Ever.
Thanks for covering this, Megan. More attention should be paid to this issue because many people don't know the possible risks of disfigurement down the road. It's frightening how many people chase the perfect physical look...🙈💜
I'm in tears right now.
Another amazing video, the quality of the production is topnotch. All of it further emphasized by your amazing narrative skills ! The story really moved me, Daehee’s mother is such a courageous woman, she deserves to find peace and solace. I can barely begin to imagine the pain she’s had to go through during her legal battle while grieving her son. It’s people like her who make the world a little bit fairer and a little bit better.
Bless his mother for being so tenacious after such a needless tragedy. Shame to the gutless prosecution for not seeing justice get done. Pitiful.
Hopefully the mother can open the eyes of Koreans to the rampant malpractice going on.
It saddens me to think people as young as 17 think they should get plastic surgery to look better😢
well.... they need to find someone to mate, ofc they need to look better, or they will end up like me, being ugly until 30's still no one look at me
@@LuminousSpaceat 17? which planet you're from?
Nope it’s definitely way younger than 17! Whilst I wasn’t around a lot of people that said they wanted plastic surgery, there were individuals including myself who said they wanted to change a feature of themselves! I think I started wanting to change the feature of myself since 14 or something!
and also some are the victims of bullying ,so that may be one of the reasons for undergoing plastic surgery.
@@LuminousSpace sorry for the strong word but what an incel comment to make
My condolences & respect goes to the Mom❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️.
Honestly, I find the increasing normalization and prevalence of cosmetic surgery is unnerving. Why have the Eastern cultures become so superficial and vain? The only plastic surgery that instill betterment of our society is that of reconstructive surgery.
Having artificially enhanced looks may get one the attention (and sexual encounters) one seek, but it doesn't result in a beautiful baby.
I totally agree and you can fix your face and looks artificially, but you cannot fix your DNA. Plus, looks fade with time, especially artificial looks. Plastic surgery can even make your looks worse in the long run as it wears out and you have to keep on maintaining it.
That's why the cycle continues. All these people end up having "ugly"(in their eyes) kids that resemble their pre-surgery selves. When the kids are old enough they get pushed towards plastic surgery again.
😊😊😊
Bro nobody cares about babies, they care about themselves
Dear Megan, it's awesome how much your channel is growing. So deserving, keep up the kick ass work🎉🎉
A mom's endless battle for her child. To all good moms out there, I salute all of you on your everyday sacrifices.
Oh a mothers love is so powerful! Nobody deserves such a good mother 😭
What an amazing woman and mother! After all her suffering, pain and work that ultimately brought about a disappointing result she still found a way to ensure that her son’s name and life would be remembered and attached to a law that protects others. I hope she’s found some peace.
Thanks a million for this case as I have not heard of it. I did hear about some cases here in the US where some have died during their plastic surgery operations. Surgery of any kind always comes with risks which is why I would never have any type of surgery that is not health related.
I feel so bad for him and his family. His mother is a strong and loving mother who reminds me of my beloved late mother. He was already so handsome and did not need any kind of plastic surgery at all. Those who bullied him or anyone should be ashamed of themselves. There are bigger factors that come into play which are focusing too much on looks and bullying. South Korea really needs to improve and change those 2 issues plus others if they want to become a better society and create a better life for their people. If people were not so focused on looks, these plastic surgery clinics would not even need to exist and none of these cases would have ever happened. Looks fade with time, especially artificial looks which can deform your face down the road so always need to be maintained. You need to feel good about yourself mentally before anything. Plastic surgery is a quick fix that you may regret down the road. My heart goes out to his mom and family. Hope he is in a happier and better place now and that cases like this will not happen again. I sincerely hope people learn to look beyond anyone’s outer appearance which would help prevent these cases.
Kwon Dae-hee did not die in vain as he left behind a legacy that will hopefully help spread awareness and save others. Kudos to his wonderful mother for making her voice heard!
Love your narration skills! 👍 👍
What a great woman that old lady is.
I am just thinking of the pain Daehee suffered during the procedure and whose life was taken away because of the bunch of irresponsible medical stuff. I can't believe such a thing can happen in South Korea! Daehee was already a good-looking man, still he was bullied! These incidents will never stop until people realize that the definition of beauty is beyond someone's outer looks. I wish instead of feeling compelled for plastic surgery, he shared his distressing thoughts with his mother! South Korea is a land where almost everyone is sufficiently educated, but it's really shocking to see that some of them don't understand the real meaning of beauty! Daehee would be alive today if he was appreciated for who he was and maybe if he got proper counseling. The medical negligence also shows the poor transparency and accountability from government. How come a developed country like South Korea can run such a medical corruption! I salute the mother who continued her battle until proper justice despite facing multiple failures. Public awareness and parents-children communication should be more strengthened. Clinical counseling should be provided with children so that children like Daehee who think they do not look good enough, can be encouraged to prove their own worth and establish their own identities without being sad for their present look.
That mother’s heart was beautiful 💕 well done on her for fighting hard for her baby💕
How can you serve only a number of years in prison for causing someone's death? Also, the prosecution is so corrupt. They repeatedly dismiss any violation of medical law simply because he/ she is a classmate of the lawyer? How low and corrupt can they be? It's so frustrating listening to these kinds of cases. I can't believe SK's judiciary is this weak esp to corruption. It saddens me so much.
It's sad how even to this day people have to struggle for justice
This sounds like a movie😢 so heart breaking ..cant imagine her struggle and pain
how come its 0.3% chance for the victims when its soo obvious of the malpractice, blood loss during surgery should not be like that at all. they did not even prepare for the blood before the operation since it should be a prevented how could you wait for emergency situations! every second counts.
It saddens me to realise how people are so much consumed by the unrealistic beauty standards. I have no idea who decides what's beautiful and what's not. Reconstructive procedures which correct defects are acceptable, but undergoing "mandatory" procedures to get the 'perfect' face or look like an idol is plain stupidity. Why does our self worth have to be validated by what others think is good or bad? Avoid comparing yourself to other people- You're perfect the way you're!
ASMR voice, very calming. Even while hearing her speak about horrible stuff.
Wow. This is beyond ridiculous. Everyone who works at that hospital is a criminal.
Thank the gods that mother was such a great person.
He was such a handsome guy. So tragic, and I can't even imagine the pain his mother went through.
Daehee's mother is incredible..
I really love the depth of your voice, it really brings the calm settling horror of this.
The plastic surgery norm must stop, especially in Korea. It is just sad and why shld people idolise those artiste or singers/influencers who obviously underwent plastic surgery? Isnt that cheating in a way to their audiences?
They also don't admit it and call it puberty.
How on earth can puberty change your nose and jaw bones? 😅
Bones aren't like that. 😂
How tf is a doctor going to blame you for losing too much of your blood during their surgery??
I am glad I got my plastic surgery after investigating the surgeon's career. He is almost in his retirement age and with decades of experience. I am a Finn and I went for a cheap surgery to Estonia (so called cheap country for us Finns, just like Americans going to Mexico to get cheap drugs). I got my surgery in 2015 and had not adverse events since. The hospital staff became nice after I said "thank you" and smiled at them. Before that they were quite grumpy. But you can win hearts for your side for just thanking and smiling.
How do you investigate a doctor?
@@minariv8300 I checked the feedback on him. Not so many people in this area so it is quite simple to find out information about a certain person. Finland + Estonia = ~6 800 000 inhabitants.
If a doctor fails, the feedback is fierce.
I d say you got the best med care , cause in Baltic states demands for a doc is up high. And ppl are very conscious about not screwing up
What did u get done?
Never go to México for surgery. Trust.
THANK YOU AND GRATEFUL FOR SHARING THIS INFORMATION ON THIS PLAFTFORM🙌 Lots of cases out there is really devastating.
People can make you feel inhuman, do they can feel good, bullying should be a criminal offense, people should be jailed really. People should have emphathy
Bullying? It is basically assault at this point and I agree that they should be charged.
just found your channel and this video then this story left me in tears. the mother's love and dedication T . T
This is terrible these people pretty much got away with what they did to this woman and her son 😔 I applaud this strong mother for not giving up on justice
I could not hold my tears back! It is horrible! 😥 I hope everything will change better in the future!
OMG, this is so eerie!
Even as a med student this gives me chills...
Dae-hee's mom would have faced so much trauma
RIP Daehee
I’m so glad I found this channel! I love Asian culture and I love mysterious dark and creepy environments ! definitely a great suggestion for sure ! Thanks TH-cam ! Finally something good!
Tbh, I really liked the way you presented the cases before, like your former method of telling the story in the way a journalist does.. Anyways, am a very old fan of yours and I still do follow you.
Thank you for bringing forward these cases, Megan!
I love your voice. I could listen to it all day. Soothing and comforting. Your stories are captivating. Thank you .
Dae hee he is already handsome and cute😢.. its so sad..
Your voice is so calming. The only way I can listen to these horrific tales.
Hello Megan, for me, I will never go under the knife regardless of how I look. On the other hand, Dr who practiced this kind of procedure without valid license and experience should be brought to justice.
This episode actually made me cry this poor mother. May his soul rest in peace after all his mom did in his name.
That man didn’t need any plastic surgery, that jawline is goal RIP poor man.❤
This womans voice is sooo smooth and nice 😊😊
It's illegal for plastic surgeons to saw jaw bone in the U.S. because it is extremely risky, but I guess many Koreans are willing to take a risk in order to have the V shaped jawline.
Daehee was unfortunately a victim of those incompetent medical staff and the society thar fosters vanity over safety and inner beauty. Clearly, it was not necessary for Daehee to get surgery but the pressure to achieve superficial beauty was eating him up. He was a nice looking man, but he didn't see himself that way.😢😢😢
What a loving mother 😢
Its so heartbreaking
