Korean culture is really exciting right now. The Korean Wave is sweeping Asian countries including China. Young people are going crazy about Korean TV dramas, Korean pop songs, taekwondo and the Korean language.

The Korean Wave started a few years ago with the TV series “Winter Sonata”. This love story is still popular. People, especially girls, like the beautiful story and handsome actors like Bae Yong Jun (裴勇俊).

In the music world, Korean girls are making themselves heard in China. You can often find big Korean names like Baby Vox, S. E. S and Finkle at the top of the Chinese music charts (排行榜).

The Korean Wave has also made young people want to try the clothes and hairstyles of pop stars, too. Not only that. Now some girls in China are having plastic surgery (整容) to change the way they look. People say some beautiful Korean stars have had plastic surgery. These stars don’t make plastic surgery look shameful (丢面子的).

Are all the faces of beautiful Korean girls not real? Find out for yourself when you next visit South Korea.

Dear Alice,

As a teenager, I met the same problem as you. But now I can get along better with my mother. Here are some advice for you.

Your mother talks much, because she cares about you. Maybe it’s not a good way, but it shows your mother’s love. So I think you should listen to her. If your opinions are different from your mother’s, you can communicate with her, and tell her what you’re thinking about.

If your mother doesn’t take you advice, just keep silent and give her a smile.

I hope what I say here can help you a lot.

Yours,

Han Mei
