Rock star gets plastic surgery

Pop artist Shin Hae-chul has been one of the hottest online keywords for weeks. He mad controversial remarks after North Korea`s rocket launch, leading some conservative groups to accuse him of violating the national security law. He was also engaged in a war of words with a ruling party lawmaker over his ideological stance.



Shin recently dropped another bombshell by announcing that he spent hundreds of million won for plastic surgery. Appearing on a new show program "MBC Everyone," he commented on his good looks. One of the show hosts, Park Myeong-su, asked Shin, "You don`t bother to care how you look, do you?" Shin answered "I had spent hundreds of million won on plastic surgery."



The rock star revealed his beauty secret: He experienced a variety of cosmetic treatment, such as Botox. He added that he had fat dissolution shots on his face the day before the recordings and that is why he looked so bloated.



The other host, Jung Hyun-don, then asked "Do you think you have any advantages from how you look?" Shin answered "At first I was not recognized as a real artist because of my pretty boy idol image." About another question by hosts` whether he is confident with his looks, Shin struck back with an answer "the only thing I believe in how I look," made people laugh.
