Question for all the members: I've read somewhere that most of the Korean pop agencies want their artists and trainee's to look attractive and good. Of course there's nothing wrong with that, but some agencies push their idols to get plastic surgery. Do you think this is a good way for an entertainment to handle their trainees? Why or why not? How would you react if Pledis told you to do so.

S.coups: of course its not a good thing to pressure idols into plastic surgery, but its what an entertainment company needs to do. If you're going to be in the public eye, you're going to have to look good. If pledis told me to get surgery I guess I'd have to listen.

Jeonghan: Every company wants a good looking idol, if you want to be an idol you have to expect your agency to push you a bit to get a bit of plastic surgery done. Yes there are a couple of agencies and companies who don't pressure their idols too hard, but the idols know what they're getting themselves into.

Joshua: in the companies perspective, its a good thing to have your trainee's and idols get a bit of pastic surgery. Nothing too big though. If pledis told me to get plastic surgery I don't think I'd mind as long as it doesn't make a drastic change on myself, or if it was somewhere the fans can't see.

Jun: it makes me upset when I see other companies with really fake idols. (Idols who have had a lot of plastic surgery done to themselves.) *cough* SM *cough* I think looking natural is best, showing your true beauty is what should matter. If pledis ever told me to get plastic surgery, I wouldn't like it but yet again I wouldn't have much say in my opinion or what I'd want.

Hoshi: I don't think it's bad companies make their idols get surgery because in some places they need it to look like a figure in the public eye. If pledis told me to get surgery I don't think I'd mind. My eyes are my worst trait to me anyway...that's probably what I'd fix if I could.

Wonwoo: I never really got the meaning of plastic surgery. why would someone want to make themselves something they're not? Even if it is for their company, that's not a good reason. If pledis ever told me to get surgery I'd tell them I wouldn't want it.

Woozi: I don't care about what companies think of their idols, and I wouldn't care if Pledis told me to get surgery. I know for a fact our CEO wouldn't even ask us.

DK: I think natural beauty is the best so in a sense I do think companies pressuring their idols into getting plastic surgery is bad, but in a profit way and in getting people to like their idols, I see why they preassure them. If Pledis asked me to get surgery, I'd deny the offer. I don't think I need any surgery done to myself.

Mingyu: I dislike it when I see other companies pressuring their idols to get surgery, not only because it puts stress on the idol, but it makes their idol look fake. I like natural beauty when it comes to girls or guys, and its a turn off when I find out their beauty is fake. As for if Pledis ever asked me to get surgery...I don't think they even would. I'm already pretty handsome, so why ask me when I'm born with natural beauty?

Minghao: I think the idols in the other companies should say they don't want to get surgery if they don't want it! I agree with Junhui, natural beauty is the best. Companies in my opinion need to show Korea true natural beauty without any plastic surgery. If Pledis asked me to get plastic surgery...I guess...I would do what they tell me.

Seungkwan: why would Pledis ask me to get plastic surgery? I'm already good looking. As for other agencies preassuring their other idols into getting plastic surgery,that's normal in kpop. It's not like you're not going to be preassured not only by your company but by others to get plastic surgery. If you're going to be in the media, especially on T.V or making music people even other then your agency will pressure you into doing it .

Vernon: Man, Pledis can't even pay the electricity bill, how will they be able to afford any of us getting plastic surgery?

Dino: other companies pressuring idols into getting plastic surgery...I've heard a lot about that, especially from SM, but its not my problem. If Pledis told me to get plastic surgery I don't think I'd mind. I want to get my nose done, it looks a bit fat and flat to me. I want to get my chin done too, my chin looks like a box. Maybe my eyes as well..
