Spending 5 million yen on plastic surgery, a Japanese man completely transformed his appearance after discovering his girlfriend had been unfaithful.
The man, known as Yura, revealed his drastic transformation on the Japanese entertainment television show Nanani Underground ABEMA, 8days reported.
During his school years, Yura played baseball for over a decade from primary school through college. He frequently wore a short haircut and glasses, admitting he felt insecure about his appearance during that time.
The turning point occurred during his university studies when he discovered his girlfriend was cheating on him. Rather than blaming her, Yura suspected his looks were the root cause of the betrayal.
“I always thought that if I were more attractive, she might not have cheated on me,” Yura said, according to 8days.
Determined to overhaul his look, Yura applied to work at a men’s hostess club where male employees are paid to chat, socialize, and serve clients. The establishment rejected his application because they only hire attractive men.
That rejection intensified his drive to change his facial features. He underwent numerous procedures, including an eyelid lift, removal of under-eye bags, facial and neck liposuction, and injections to smooth laugh lines.
When Yura appeared on the ABEMA program with his new appearance, show hosts expressed shock and noted he looked like an entirely different person. Social media users subsequently compared his post-surgery appearance to Japanese singer and actor Kazuya Kamenashi.
Yura currently maintains an active presence on social media while operating beauty salons and restaurants.
