JAKARTA - A new beauty trend is rife in South Korea, this time not on the face, but on the shoulder. Inspired by the firm shoulder in the form of a 90 degree corner in the style of K-Pop idols such as Jennie BLACKPINK and NingNing aespa, many people now choose a filler shoulder procedure to get a similar look.

Reporting from the goodyfeed page, this procedure works by injecting fillers into the shoulders to make them look more prominent and sharp angled, while at the same time making the muscles of the trapezius (neckdots) look smaller. Both men and women are starting to be interested in this trend in order to resemble the appearance of their favorite idols.

However, this trend has drawn strong reactions from the public. Many netizens question the safety and urgency of this kind of procedure.

"If the filler spreads, won't it get down to the muscles or the upper arm?" wrote one netizen who questioned the health impact.

Many prefer natural alternatives, such as fitness training and posture improvements.

"Duh, it's better if the money is used for the gym and the shape of the shoulder itself," commented the netizen

"If you are diligent in shoulder training, how come you get the same results," said another.

This trend also raises concerns about increasing dependence on aesthetic procedures.

"It's been a long time since people will inject fillers throughout the body," said another netizen.

Some people claim to be surprised to see how popular this procedure is on social media. The number of fillers used is also a concern.

"I saw this on Instagram a few months ago, really shocked. It turns out that many are actually doing it? If until the shape of his shoulder can change, it means that there are a lot of fillers, right?" wrote another netizen.

"Seriously, nowadays people will do anything." continued another netizen.
