LE SSERAFIM’s Sakura
After a period of hiatus, Miyawaki Sakura officially returned to the Kpop race with
the rookie girl group LE SSERAFIM.
Debuting as the first member of the group, her beauty in the teasers made netizens immediately
enchanted.
She got rid of her signature blunt bangs and change her brow shape in order to blend better
with LE SSERAFIM’s concept.
Aside from that, her makeup and outfit styles are also said to have significantly changed.
The thing is, many netizens noticed that Sakura’s overall face looks completely different from
that of hers when she was in IZ*ONE, and they were totally perplexed by her dramatic transformation.
Some even said that if Source Music didn't announce her identity, they'd have no idea
it was Sakura since her nose became much more straight than before with an extremely sharp
tip, and her lips also became obviously fuller.
Even experts believe she had a few minor procedures to improve her looks before debuting.
Some observed that the visual of Sakura is now becoming more and more prevalent like
a regular Korean girl rather than looking like a Japanese one.
They said that Sakura used to possess a very pure and innocent vibe, and was exceptionally
gorgeous with wide, round eyes and a naturally petite nose, but now all of them are gone.
However, many fans immediately came to defend Sakura, claiming that the so-called unusual
look of hers was generated by the production team's excessive photoshop and makeup.
They believe that Sakura's face still preserves its unique features as they observed in the
teaser video and also criticized those who made Sakura the subject of discussion.
Until now, the discussion about whether Sakura has plastic surgery shows no sign of coming
to an end.
Anyway, it doesn't matter whether her current appearance is natural or has undergone plastic
surgery, people still have to admit that Sakura is really pretty and totally suits Le Sserafim’s
concept.

IVE’s Jang Wonyoung
Jang Wonyoung has acquired a ton of recognition as one of the top Kpop visual since the IZ*ONE
era til now.
With an extremely small face, large eyes and heart-shaped lips, Wonyoung is often praised
for looking so much like a Barbie doll.
Although she has never confirmed having done plastic surgery, many netizens still suspect
Wonyoung had done that by comparing her image in the IZ*ONE era and now.
It can be seen that Wonyoung's face has slimmed down a lot, her eyetails became longer and
her lips look way thicker than before, except for her eyebrows that still look the same.
Many netizens have asserted that Wonyoung had had her eyetails widen, got lip fillers
and most likely jawline botox injection or buccal fat removal.
Even Dr.Lee, a famous plastic surgeon, also believed that she has undergone lip fillers
to make her lips plumper and juicier
However, Wonyoung’s fans just don’t buy that.
They claim that the so-called different appearance she is having now is the result of growing
up and losing baby fat, making her facial features like eyes and lips become sharper.
Also, it is known that Wonyoung has lost a significant amount of weight to prepare for
her debut with IVE, and her makeup style has also changed from innocent to dreamy and seductive,
making her look significantly different, so that can partly explain why people suspect
she had plastic surgery.
Fans also believe that those cosmetic rumors are just fake news created by those who are
so jealous of Wonyoung’s beauty in order to bring her down.

aespa’s Karina
Many people have adored Karina's beauty since her first introduction because she has a "luxurious
visual" that perfectly fit the unique “AI” concept of Aespa.
However, they were extremely surprised when pre-debut images of Karina appeared on social
networks.
In these old images, she was seen wearing the school uniform and having adorable gestures.
While many praised Karina’s naive appearance, others accused her of having something done
on her face.
According to netizens and some experts in the plastic surgery industry, Karina has had
eyelid surgery, rhinoplasty, and facial bone surgery.
When looking at these pictures, many have to admit that they barely recognize the female
idol because she looks like a totally different person since her nose and eyeshape are significantly
changed.
It was difficult for fans to not believe that her transformation was due to plastic surgery
rather than weight loss and puberty since her facial ratio was said to be quite unique.
Even plastic surgeon Kim Joon Ho also claimed that her face is too small to be true.
This is not the first time old images of Karina have triggered controversial topics about
whether her beauty is natural or has gone through cosmetic procedures.
To defend their idol from netizens' accusations, fans have tried their best to prove Karina
has a natural visual with numerous gorgeous photos of her in the past, including her childhood
ones.
Fans said that Karina has had the aura of a superstar since she was a little girl and
there is no way she ever needs plastic surgery to look good.
Although having so much evidence indicates that Karina had had cosmetic procedures, it
remains unclear whether the plastic surgery rumor is true or not since Karina and her
agency remain silent about that.

BTS’s V
It's not even a surprise that BTS' V has a golden-ratio face that has amazed many cosmetic
surgeons.
Having a distinctive charm and comic-like aura, V made a lot of netizens jump to discuss
his so-called unreal, CGI face because few people believe that it is natural.
On Youtube, there must be at least 3 videos that try to analyze V's facial traits and
raise questions on whether he had undergone any procedures.
Also on Reddit, there are heaps of topics intricating that V had got forehead reduction
surgery and even professional plastic surgeons had stated that V probably got a rhinoplasty.
However, V’s fans on the other hand, disproved this claim.
According to them, his high nasal bridge still be seen in his baby photograph.
They even tried to prove V’s visual is natural by comparing him to his father's photo and
pointed out that V’s beauty is inherited from his father, not from plastic surgery
because if he had had something done, he wouldn’t have looked like his dad that much.
Besides, even if V has plastic surgery, fans believe it's none of anyone’s business because
“his body, his choice”.
Moreover, plastic surgery has become so popular nowadays and there is nothing wrong with a
person wanting to look more beautiful.
So, do you think these idols underwent plastic surgery or not?
And why do you think netizens have a prejudice against idols who have their faces adjusted?
