Kang Han-Na, a Korean entertainer who is actively promoting in Japan, receives heavy criticism from the public for her remarks of “99 out of 100 Korean celebrities go through a cosmetic surgery.”

On October 27, Kang Han-Na appeared in a Japanese variety show and said, “in Korea, everyone goes through a plastic surgery. Not only the celebrities, but also ordinary people. If I’m correct, 99 out of 100 celebrities receive cosmetic surgeries. I have a lot of Korean celebrities friends and their faces change every time I see them.”

Furthermore, Kang stated that she did not receive a plastic surgery herself. The entertainer continued, “when they produce a girl group in Korea, they always include one member that did not receive a plastic surgery. They are the ones who always have the biggest individual fandom. It’s because they are natural. They have a lot of aegyo.

This remark of Kang was reported through the domestic media in Korea on October 29. Afterwards, her name topped on the real-time search engines on various websites, leading to much debate among K-netizens. While some argued that Kang’s remarks are not entirely false, the majority of the netizens were outraged that the entertainer had disgraced the reputation of Korea.

This ultimately led to a national petition. On the following day, the petition entitled “please deprive Kang Han-Na of her citizenship, who has gone overboard in Japan and sold out Korea for money” appeared on the government’s petition board.

In response, Kang Han-Na keeps her silence. However, it seems that the entertainer acknowledged the fact that her remarks were problematic, when she switched her social network account to a private mode.
