The saddest thing is that her eyesight plummeted as a result of self-injection of silicone, and her hearing was also affected, causing hallucinations.

In 2013, when writing about Han Mi Ok’s changing process, the Daily Mail shared that the beauty once worked as an employee for a second-hand shop, living off state subsidies.
