vIn South Korea, many young people focus on improving their physical appearance. Roughly 20% of Korean young adults turn to plastic surgery to change their appearance. South Korea has the highest rate of plastic surgery use in the world, with most clinics located in the Seoul neighborhood of Gangnam. Others use diet pills to become thinner and more “beautiful.” Recent studies show that about 60% of diet pill users in South Korea are not even overweight. This focus on looks comes from a desire to fit in with social norms and beauty standards. It also comes from a desire to experience love and acceptance. Please pray for the young people of Seoul to turn away from the idol of beauty. Please pray for young local believers to stay focused on Christ as they live and work in such deep social pressure. Please pray for missionaries to show empathy as they share the unconditional love of Jesus.
