Graduation from each respective school system means, in South Korea, a fresh start of plastic surgery, for ladies. Double eyelids are not common for the people with Mongolian ethnic traits. So a lot of middle school graduates hit the road for the plastic surgery for double eyelids and most of the girls' high schoolers join the procession.
