[Asia Economy Reporter Seoyoung Kwon] Online commentator Joeunsan (pen name) criticized former Democratic Party lawmaker Son Hyewon for commenting on the appearance of Kim Geonhee, wife of People Power Party presidential candidate Yoon Seokyeol.


On the 9th, Joeunsan posted an article titled "Eolpyeong" (face evaluation) on his blog. Joeunsan is known for gaining attention by posting critical writings such as the "Seven Proposals" in the form of a memorial on the Blue House's national petition website.


In the blog post, Joeunsan stated, "Putting aside the fact that double eyelid surgery is now considered more of a procedure than surgery in the 21st century, borrowing the words of Son's supporters who say it is like being reborn, I cannot understand why there is so much fuss over someone else's appearance, which would be impossible even if they were reborn."


This is interpreted as criticism of former lawmaker Son posting side-by-side photos of Kim's past and present on her Facebook on the 8th. Son wrote alongside Kim's photos, "I already knew her face had changed, but looking closely, her pupils have become very large," sparking controversy.


Meanwhile, prosecutor Jin Hyewon commented on Son's post, saying, "The shape of the Cupid's bow is distinct, the lower lip is turned outward, and the lower jaw protrudes slightly forward," adding, "I think this is a good example of cosmetic surgery that enhances feminine charm and self-esteem." The post has since been deleted from Son's Facebook.



Joeunsan sarcastically remarked, "How beautiful and lovely must one be to have the right to upload someone else's precious face on SNS and criticize it?" He added, "Curious, I hurriedly searched and encountered the appearances of these two problematic figures. There were Paleozoic creatures beyond estimation."
