The Looks You’re Born With and the Looks You’re Given
I was born cross-eyed—not all the time, but some of the time. My right eye drifted inward, especially when I was tired or daydreaming. Meanwhile, my mother was extremely beautiful.

My brother inherited their looks. I didn’t.

The World Capital of Plastic Surgery
If you want to feel bad about your looks, spend some time in Seoul. An eerily high number of women there—and men, too—look like anime princesses.
