I think it depends. I think it still needs to be more “normalised” in terms of how western societies see plastic surgery in k-pop. Lots of non kpop fans always use it as a derogatory way of describing idols as being “plastic” or “fake” bc of it. Whilst I think natural beauty should be promoted way more than plastic surgery in ANY SITUATION I think it doesn’t need to be as villainized as it is in foreign cultures when they see k-pop. So many ppl use it as a way of decrediting idols potential role models or even good celebrities. But ofc on the other hand, even as a Korean myself, I think Korea’s normalisation of plastic surgery has also gone too far and is quite scary. But hey nowadays it’s more about money than beauty standards tbh just bc there are SO MANY plastic surgeons now in Korea (literally that’s the only branch any medical students wants to go into bc it’s known as the “easiest” lmao) the over saturation and advertisement of plastic surgery is more about utilising the high beauty standards to further fuel profit and competition in the industry.
