Korean girl goes under the knife to look like Miranda Kerr

A girl in Korea took her plastic surgery dreams to a supermodel level and transformed herself into Miranda Kerr.

According to an article in Drama Fever, Korean television show Martian Virus has once again shocked us all with its latest guest.

The programme, which explores the lives of the unique and odd, featured Yuh Reum Hong - a girl who has gone to great lengths for her supermodel idol.

The young lady from South Korea revealed to the host that she has covered the walls in her bedroom with pictures of the famous model and even tries to dress like her as much as she can.

But that's not all. She is so obsessed with the Aussie model that she went under the knife to look like her and uses contact lenses to change the colour of her eyes.

To complete the look, she dyed her hair a golden brown and copies Kerr's sense of style in her outfits.

If you think that is odd, her reasons for doing so are even odder. Hong told the audience that she was disappointed that the Australian model is not more popular in South Korea.

Hong said she was imitating Kerr to help promote the model to her fellow South Koreans.

But she claimed on the show that before she even got plastic surgery, people already thought she had it done.

She says she only did surgery on her eyes and nose, and that the rest of her is natural, albeit enhanced with make-up.

The show followed her onto the streets of South Korea and showed people's reactions to her appearance.

While not many people mistook her by the former Victoria's Secret model, many appeared to believe the Korean was a Westener and even tried speaking to her in English.

A Korean shopkeeper even resorted to pointing, not realising that Hong is a hundred per cent South Korean who has never left Korea.

The show's hosts expressed doubts on the success of her surgery. One remarked that she looks like the "Martian version of Miranda Kerr" and that he preferred her appearance pre-transformation.
