While people often opt for plastic surgeries whenever they want to be prettier, this approach
never guarantees a perfect look and that’s also why in the past, I’ve made a video
about idols that were said to look not as pretty as their natural visual.
However, there are also many idols whose life turn into a new page thanks to plastic surgery
and what’s even more surprising is that, though going under the knife is a controversial
topic in K-Pop, these idols not only didn’t shy away but even admitted that they had some
work done to be more confident with their look.
1.
MOMOLAND’s JooE
Reputation went through the roof overnight, MOMOLAND quickly got to be known by everyone
just after their hit BBoom Bboom grew big.
However, going hand in hand with such an overwhelming amount of attention was also a scarily strict
scrutiny of netizens, which later led to the discussion of whether JooE had never done
anything with her face.
However, in contrast to the expectation of netizens, JooE straight up admitted it and
said that she had a nose job on the appearance on Knowing Bros in 2018.
She even took everyone aback by taking the topic super laid-back, starting the conversation
by showing the obsession with ear piercing, then moving onto saying though she liked her
ears a lot, she had to give up the cartilage in her right ear to part of
her nose.
After the video was uploaded, many said that they didn’t know she was this adorable and
instead of bashing JooE, most of the comments were about how natural and well-blended the
nose was to other facial features on her face.
As JooE has always been open about what jobs she wanted for her face, the opinions about
her visual getting changed are also quite relaxed.
That also explained why when JooE has recently appeared with a more mature and different
appearance than before, she not only wasn’t criticized but also made it onto the list
of celebrities whose visual elevated to the next level after having some more plastic
surgeries.
Seemingly because the old nose disappeared after three months as described by JooE when
she got featured on Radio Star, JooE has had another nose job done to make her nose bridge
stand out more.
Of course you can see that a perfect nose contouring and highlighting also played a
role in helping her visual more defined but looking at other photos, for example the one
at AAA 2022 and another of her side profile taken by her friend, you will see her nose
bridge is way higher and sharper than before.
Though JooE was no longer a minor and that means baby fat could lose, it is also believed
that JooE had done a buccal fat removal.
Plus, as some noticed that JooE’s eyes were fairly slanted and this ended up making her
eyes smaller, her new image suggested that she also had her outer eye corners enlarged.
Her lips were also fuller than before and by opting for a more mature and Western-inspired
makeup, JooE has made headlines on many big platforms for looking so stunning.
Some non-fans said that they didn’t notice she was this beautiful and others even questioned
whether JooE was the visual of MOMOLAND now.
Many agreed it was an incredibly wise choice of JooE for having all those works done to
bring her visuals to the next level.

IZ*ONE’s Eunbi
After the explosive success of IZ*ONE’s La Vie En Rose, more and more attention was
drawn to the group and though that was actually a incredibly good sign for IZ*ONE, netizens
also started to dig deeper into the past of the members and found out that Eunbi initially
didn’t look as good as she was right now.
In fact, when Eunbi was just four month officially into the industry, she had already made headlines
for looking like a two different person before and after going under the knife.
People were also taken aback to learn that before Produce 48, she was the back-up dancer
of many girl groups, including Girl’s Day, but thanks to the solid determination to pursue
the singing career, she had risen to be the leader of one of the most successful girl
groups.
Probably also because of such an admiration for Eunbi, the reaction toward her plastic
surgery thing was also super relaxed.
In the comment section, some said that most weren’t so surprised with the news because
they had heard through the grapevine that Eunbi’s visual was the product of plastic
surgery and compared to the past photos, she must have done the double eyelids, inner eyelid
cut, rhinoplasty, and probably the chin shaving but this could also be the result of a strict
diet.
What’s even more mindblowing is that, there wasn’t a single hate remark in the top liked
comments and according to some, no one would care if she had got any jobs done as her visual
was now so stunning that Eunbi could easily make it to the top beauty of the industry.
Yes, I’m not even exaggerating a bit when saying Eunbi’s visual could make it to the
top beauty of K-Pop because when she was just a trainee under Produce 48, she had already
got people talking for look so similar to Red Velvet’s Irene.
Though Eunbi’s face is a bit longer than Irene’s but for the big double-lidded eyes,
the high small nose and especially the mouth when they both smiled, the similarities stood
out even clearer.
Some even questioned on Quora if Eunbi and Irene were biologically related because regardless
of photo angles, the two girls still looked almost identical.
Most recently, Eunbi’s visual once again took people aback because according to netizens,
she looked rather different than before with fuller lips and slimmer figure though she
was already skinny before.
Still, netizens believed Eunbi was simply getting prettier and as long as it could help
her be more comfortable in front of cameras, whether she went under the knife or not didn’t
matter much.

DIA’s Chaeyeon
With the reputation went through the roof after the attendance on Produce 101 season
1, Chaeyeon quickly got to be called the new generation’s visual, and even the descendant
of Suzy, because she had such a pure and bright look.
The thing is, because her look is so natural, not a single soul has ever thought that she
actually had a nose job, got her nose tip pointier and the bridge higher than her old
one.
Of course, people were kinda shook to learn that her visual wasn’t 100% natural but
much to everyone’s surprise, netizens' reactions to that confession wasn’t harsh at all.
In fact, many even complimented Chaeyeon for opening up despite the controversy of the
story and still praised her stunning visuals.
According to netizens, her visual is eerily stunning and though she was first famous for
the first-love energy in the iconic Into The New World performance on Produce 101, they
could see her visual matured into a more classic and luxurious image as time passed.
In 2020, there was even a post titled “Do you think DIA’s Chaeyeon or BLACKPINK’s
Jennie is prettier?,” and as some said, they preferred Chaeyeon as she fit better
into the beauty standard of South Korea—aka their standard as well.
But do you know what’s even more mind-blowing than the fact that netizens decided to not
bring down a newly famous young idol when knowing that she actually had plastic surgery?
According to Chaeyeon, she was never complimented by anyone that she was pretty and it was not
until her appearance on Produce 101 and making numerous headlines for the pure visual that
she knew how good she looked.
Reacting to the posts, many people also expressed their confusion as to how such a visual could
be slept on and had a person like Chaeyeon been actually ignored, they really didn’t
know what it took to be called “pretty” in South Korea.

Super Junior’s Heechul
Besides being famous for the scarily savage personalities, Heechul is also well-known
for the visual that even Lee Soo Man had to ask him to stay and debut under Super Junior
when he demanded to leave the company.
However, according to Heechul, his look now isn’t 100% natural because back when he
appeared on an SBS radio program in 2013, he admitted to having gotten a nose job after
having it crooked due to an accident.
Then on Radio Star in 2014, Heechul also revealed that his double eyelids received a bit of
enhancement so that they would look better on camera.
Though it’s extremely rare for male idols to ever admit that they have some job done
here and there as netizens would mostly react negatively about such news, people somehow
took it super light-heartedly when knowing Heechul wasn’t an original visual.
Even until now, he is still referred to as the handsome member of Super Junior and when
other celebrities went to Knowing Bros, they also admitted that Heechul was even really
“pretty”.
So, do you think it’s good for idols to opt for plastic surgery to be pretty or they
should really embrace their natural self?
