It sparked a heated debate in the comments, and while many times netizens try to hit back, many seemingly understood what the OP was saying. Along with an increase in idols seemingly getting surgery, they explained that the use of hairstyles and makeup meant that more idols were given the same aesthetic compared to groups in the past.

Many netizens are seemingly sad that idols feel the need to have surgery and angry that companies are also involved, with it being known that many force stars to get work done from a young age.
