The four women have had "almost every kind of surgery that could be done on a face" and breast implants, said their manager Kim Il-woong.
The video has led to questions about beauty in South Korea, the plastic surgery market.

It's not uncommon for K-Pop stars to have plastic surgery, but it's unusual for them to speak about it.
The band's management reportedly spent up to 100 million wan (around 拢71,300) on the women's surgery, but claim they weren't forced to undergo any procedures.
The band posted teaser pictures on ahead of the video.
Lead singer Dain had breast implants and her cheekbones shaved to make her face look smaller.
"We all wanted to get some surgeries done to look prettier... and thought, 'Why not perform a song about it instead of trying to conceal it?" she told the AFP news agency.
"People will notice it anyway... so we wanted to be open about this reality where many women want to look pretty."
However, rapper Soa says she had to think "long and hard" before having the double eyelid procedure to make her eyes look more round.
"I really liked and was satisfied with my previous eyes," she said.
