Move over, Kim Kardashian — you may be getting some competition.
A South Korean woman has spent more than $US60,000 ($84,000) and undergone 15 surgeries to make herself look like the reality star and Skims mogul, the NY Post reports.
Cherri Lee, who was born with the name Hanbyeol, grew up watching Kardashian, 41, and has longed to be like her.
“Kim has always been an inspiration to me and she’s the most beautiful woman in the world in my eyes,” Ms Lee told South West News Service recently.
Ms Lee had her first surgery when she was 20, doing a procedure to get double eyelids.
The now-28-year-old also went under the knife to get surgeries including three Brazilian butt lifts, two breast augmentations and several facial reconstruction jobs.
Her look has evolved so much that many people don’t realise she is Asian, she told SWNS — even some close to her.
“I actually look like a completely different person now to before,” she said. “I look Western, and some of my Korean family don’t even recognise me anymore.”
The part-time English teacher — who said she has received monetary help and support from her parents — got her first boob job in 2016 in Seoul, South Korea, and now has 34GGG breasts.
“Kim has always been an inspiration to me and she’s the most beautiful woman in the world in my eyes,” Ms Lee said of her idol.
While Ms Lee is done with her surgeries for the time being, she doesn’t “regret a single procedure and I’d do it all again the same” — adding that her “only regret is why didn’t I do it sooner.”
It was after a hard break-up in the early 2010s that she decided to switch up her look. She became “addicted to surgeries” but saw “positive changes” every time she came out of the hospital.
“I would get a buzz when I would wake up in excruciating pain and then see myself afterwards and it would be my reward,” she said.
Her ex-boyfriend didn’t want her back after her first surgery in 2014 and she subsequently had her BBLs between 2019 and 2021.
