Abstract

The South Korean reality TV show Let Me In uses visual storytelling conventions to situate its participants within heteronormative narrative tropes. Operating in an economy of shame that masks the gendered violence inflicted by patriarchy through a world-famous cosmetic surgery industry, Let Me In ironically proffers a possibility of reading cosmetic surgery as queer(ing).
