So we had three Koreans come in to talk about their experience growing up with monolid eyes and then we photoshopped double eyelids on them to see their reaction.
"People I knew would just offhandedly suggest surgery to me. They offered it as gifts, as graduation presents."
"I definitely knew I was different. There were jokes about my eyes being smaller."
"They told me I would look prettier with the double eyelid surgery. I tried a lot of different things to get that double eyelid, without actually getting the surgery."
After a week, it was finally time for the big reveal:
Annie's before and after:
Annie was conflicted about her new double-eyelids.
Jason's before and after:
Jason couldn't even recognize himself.
Lauren's before and after:
Lauren felt uncomfortable seeing the new image.
In the end, they just wanted everyone to embrace themselves, whatever that means to you.
