00:00This mysterious influencer is being dragged online after getting plastic surgery to look Korean.
00:04But after internet detectives started digging into her background,
00:07the bizarre and straight-up creepy truth behind her identity was exposed.
00:11Ever wanted to be a K-pop idol? Come with me, transform into one for a day.
00:16So who is Lisa Yeo and why is she at the center of a strange, shape-shifting conspiracy?
00:20I tried Korea's latest beauty obsession ear fillers and the results are shocking.
00:25Not much is known about Lisa Yeo beyond her curated social media accounts on Instagram
00:29and TikTok, where she's building her presence as a beauty and lifestyle influencer.
00:33Her content is all about her life in South Korea and her obsession with K-beauty,
00:37with her trendy makeup tutorials and intense high-tech beauty treatments.
00:41They say beauty is pain, so I tested the most intense treatments for real black skin.
00:46Unfortunately, Lisa's strange and unnatural appearance is the only thing people can focus on.
00:50A quick scroll back to 2019 on her Instagram page shows Lisa looking drastically different
00:56than she does today, making it seem quite clear to her audience that she's undergone some plastic surgery.
01:01Lisa had no problem admitting that she's gone under the knife before.
01:04First were her two nose jobs.
01:06The first nose surgery was due to a childhood injury,
01:09but complications led to another surgery in 2023 to remove a silicone implant.
01:14Lisa has also confessed to getting double eyelid surgery,
01:17a popular cosmetic procedure that makes one's eyes look bigger or more Western,
01:22explaining that deep insecurities drove her to get the eyelid surgery at age 17.
01:26But people online were hardly convinced that a few tweaks to her eyes and nose
01:30were the only plastic surgery procedures she'd gotten done.
01:33It's hard to deny that her appearance is jarring,
01:36especially compared to photos of her from the past,
01:38and that Lisa's body modifications make her look like an entirely different person,
01:42like her pale skin and jet black hair that she achieved with makeup and dye.
01:47Combined with Lisa's obsession with South Korean cultural aesthetics and traditional fashion,
01:51people started to ask,
01:52is this woman trying to pass herself off as Korean?
01:55Or worse, is she trying to turn herself into a Korean woman?
01:58Yeah, is this woman not Asian?
02:02Like, some of my, I saw her and I was like,
02:04because, like, whoever did her surgery needs to go to jail.
02:08The rumor that Lisa was Asian fishing came swiftly.
02:11The term refers to a trend of non-Asian people,
02:14altering their appearance to give themselves Asian features,
02:17or even pretending to be an ethnicity other than their own.
02:20She found her comments filled with hate,
02:22and accusations that she was faking her identity.
02:24You're telling me this is a white woman?
02:30That's when Lisa decided to address the controversy head on,
02:33with a statement along with photos of herself as a child.
02:36She explained her background as half Austrian and half Mongolian,
02:39and that growing up in a small European village made her an easy target for bullying.
02:44Lisa wrote that since her looks made it impossible for her to fit in,
02:47she became extremely unhappy with her physical appearance.
02:50She also made it clear that she's never claimed to be Korean,
02:52nor was she trying to make people believe that she is,
02:55only that she found her happiness in Seoul and loves her new look.
02:58So that clears it all up, right?
02:59Well, not really.
03:01Even with her explanation,
03:02Lisa's appearance online looks and feels kind of surreal,
03:05even freakishly unnatural.
03:07Perhaps she's so deep into her makeover fantasy
03:09that she doesn't realize or care that people think she looks weird.
03:13Let's face it,
03:13she's not even the first person to undergo a Korean plastic surgery makeover.
03:17Just look at Ollie London.
03:19Finally, Korean guys, I have the eyes.
03:21Just had a brow lift as well.
03:23So I'm so happy.
03:24Finally, I've been trapped in the wrong body for eight years.
03:27So in conclusion, people like Lisa Yeo,
03:29who choose to make online influencing their career,
03:32should expect some negativity from the public.
03:34But sometimes, people's bizarre online personas
03:37are masking their internal struggles
03:39or are covering up their painful pasts.
03:41So if you can't help but cringe at Lisa's posts,
03:43you can always feel free to keep scrolling.
