Rising house prices, a toxic save-face culture, encouragement of plastic surgery for girls on their 18th birthday, and feminism. It should come as a surprise to no one that South Korea has the same issues as Japan of an aging population and a generation of young girls who are too picky for a Mr. Right or young men who just want out of the marriage court system.
It seems that lower fertility rate may also trend towards a higher female suicide rate, with South Korea leading the female suicide rate (15.4% as of recent) per country. Women are built to raise and nurture kids and if they can't, statistics show that they would rather kill themselves than live alone at old age with a bunch of pets.
In Korea, where a beautiful face is considered a “weapon” to land jobs or to get ahead in your career, plastic surgery is very important. But more than luxury, it has now become a necessity.
Though this is becoming more of an issue in Western countries as well, just search up "Snapchat filters surgery".

Plastic surgery encouraged at 18? I couldn't imagine anyone I know getting plastic surgery for cosmetic purposes at 18.
