In South Korea a large number of women did plastic surgery: isn't this going to worsen their gene pool?
Those with enough money to do it will have more chances to marry and procreate too, but they'll pass the bad traits just removed with the surgery to their kids.
Are you somehow under the impression that only the most attractive people have children?
worsen as in uglier ? than maybe.
because this type of selective breeding only rewards actually pretty ones and ugly ones with money. the hideous ones whom even makeup can't fix don't get to procreate.
its kinda the same in everywhere

There is no trait that is "objectively" bad evolutionarily. There are traits that increase/have no change on or decrease fitness.
Medicine and cosmetic procedures can and have allowed traits to persist in populations that would not have survived or have existed at current proportions. It doesn't matter though since these traits don't decrease fitness and select against an individual any longer.
>but what if modern medicine disappears because of a disaster and some of these traits will decrease fitness then
Use your brain, friend. :)

acquiring money is one of the best survival/procreation traits in our modern world.

"everywhere" don't have 1 million plastic surgeries per year; it's a monster number for a country with 51M people: take out the elderly, the children and 90% of young men: how many [young women+sone dude] they have that did it/will do it soon? ALL OF THEM?

As far as I know, beauty is somewhat subjective, but many agree upon facial symmetry being a large indicator. I haven't heard anything that suggests facial symmetry is genetic. Now if we're talking about "her lower lip looks weird" or "I don't like his eyes", that is genetic, but is a "soft" attractiveness trait. A "soft" attractiveness trait would probably allow for subjective views on the atttactiveness of that trait, so idk. Some people, like me, actually find many asymmetrical faces attractive. To me, it's mysterious and fantastical looking. So basically, facial shit is subjective (kinda) and doesn't seem as important.
Anyways, pic related's case appears to be based on jaw disfigurement, which could have EASILY been caused by mouthbreathing as a child or just luck of the draw. There is facial attractiveness variation within families, but something like height or natural muscularity/fantastic tits seems to be genetic.
I apologize if my thoughts are a bit pseudo-scientific. This post derives from what I have perceived as common knowledge about genetics, but I could be wrong, and I'd be more than happy to be shown data/studies that contrasict me.

eh.. Where i live, the poorest and most stupid people have like 3-6 kids, the rich seems to have 0-2.

Technically fitness/intelligence would increase because only those with status/money can afford it and you usually on average achieve that through fitness/intelligence.
Now certain undesirable traits such as crooked teeth and bad acne can indeed be passed along since plastic surgery can cover that. But said traits could likely be offset by gene therapy.
