A man from southern Japan who was bullied as a child spent more than 100 million yen (US$650,000) on plastic surgery to transform himself into what he calls “the world’s most beautiful person”.

Allen, 33, from Kochi prefecture, was taunted for his laugh lines and gentle personality throughout his school years, according to the Japanese media outlet Matomedia.
His classmates would overlook his desk during cleaning time, pass around nasty notes about him and even poke his head with a compass.
As a result, Allen became rebellious and began stealing bicycles and motorcycles, landing in a juvenile detention centre.
After his release, the 18-year-old Allen made a life-changing decision to undergo surgery and prove the bullies wrong.
“If I become the world’s most beautiful person, I win. Those boys and girls who bullied me will age,” said Allen.
