The international media is calling her Hang Mioku, the Japanese pronunciation of her Korean name. Hang Mioku first underwent plastic surgery at the ripe old age of 28 and made frequent trips to Japan for multiple procedures. After returning home so disfigured she was unrecognizable to her family, they took her to see a psychiatrist but couldn’t afford to continue treatment. Back in Korea, Hang found a doctor willing to supply her with syringes and silicone to inject herself at home. Running out of silicone, she substituted vegetable oil. Her face became so horrifically bloated that neighborhood kids called her “standing fan.” Koreans moved after seeing her plight on local television donated money to pay for reconstructive surgery. A slideshow of before and after photos can be seen here. If you’re wondering who “Cat Woman” Jocelyn Wildenstein is, see here.

But what we care about is how the boob job looks.
In her defense the eyebrows look outstanding. Tattooed, one assumes.
This was in the Korean media many months ago, I wonder why it’s not got the Western media attention.
Also, this reminds me of an article I read in the (maybe?) Joong Ang Ilbo about how some plastic surgeons thought their patients really needed psychological help, but couldn’t say anything, because then the patients would just go to another doctor.
..should be NOW got the Western media’s attention…
“couldn’t say anything”
What about the Hippocratic Oath? Or is it a hypocritic oath in Korea?
“Hang Mioku”? Sounds like a “forced name change” along the lines of “Son Kitei”.
The Sun’s picking this up a bit late, no? The Fan Ajummah was big news in 2004:

In case anyone wants to listen to her music:

Not only the Sun, the Telegraph, ABC News, and other international news organizations were running the story yesterday.

Yea, we’re just pissed that Japanese ‘Bae Yong Jun’ groupies have the audacity to change his name to Yon-sama. How dare they!
It is people such as these that Christ was referring to when he said “I come for the sick, not for the healthy.”
God’s kingdom flies a flag of divine opposition against the value system of the secular world that has produced people like Hang Mioku.
Atheists made her this way? Damn those sneaky bastards!!
don’t talk about Christ, Netizen Kim.
You didn’t vote the way the Protestant church, or the Vatican asked to vote. US Catholic church Priests recently took a vow to fight Obama on pro life issues. African American church is curiously very silent. They’re singing Hallelujah’s over the fact that God put an African American in the Office. It’s just as David Klinghoffer said. (who is religious). You picked and choosed certain things were more important.
You also cast a vote to hinder Lee Myungbak’s Korea.
I am appalled to see pictures of female versions of Michael Jackson.
Michael Jackson seemed to make himself look more and more feminine.
I think the girls in these cases, succeeded the other way. They look more and more like ugly males?
A good psychiatrist could have saved them.
i remember watching the documentary on her a couple/few years ago. was hoping that you had the “after” pictures of her once she went through the reversal procedure.
I think the photos at the end of the s(l)ideshow are the “after” photos.
“A good psychiatrist could have saved them.”
Good luck finding one in Korea. If you become psychologically ill here, you are basically screwed.
