British Man Has 18 Plastic Surgeries To Look Like A Non-Binary Korean Pop Star

A white British influencer and singer has defended "identifying as Korean" after having what they have described as "racial transitional surgery".

Oli London, who also recently came out as non-binary and uses the pronouns they and them, released a video on YouTube explaining why they have undergone plastic surgery 18 times to look like BTS singer Park Ji-min, or Jimin.

“This is my new official flag for being a non-binary person who identifies as Korean. Thank you for the overwhelming support it was so hard for me to come out as Them/they/kor/ean,” said Oli London, who is now identifying as “Park Jimin HueningKai Taeyong Imnida.”

“I am gonna come out today and say that I’ve been transitioning. I’ve been very unhappy with who I am deep down for the last eight years and I’ve had, like, 18 plastic surgeries now…” he said.

“I’ve just had a facelift, a brow lift, a temple lift, an eye surgery, a canthoplasty, and my teeth done as well. These are just part of my transition. I’m feeling really good for the first time in my life I feel beautiful. I’m looking in the mirror and I love the way I look and feel happy, and I hope people can respect my decision.”

“It’s a very tough decision to come out this way, but I am coming out as non-binary,” YouTuber and Instagram star London continued. “I don’t feel I identify as male or female. I just feel like I’m just in the middle and my pronouns are they/them, Korean/Jimin.”

Some critics have accused them of cultural appropriation. London said they wanted others to respect their decision following the backlash.
