A lot of South Korean celebrities have unnaturally beautiful features but not many of them own up to having gone under the knife.
Whether it is Botox, fillers, a new nose or a whole body transformation, here are some of the rumours of plastic surgery work done by South Korean celebrities.
- Park Min Young
One thing that’s good about this actress is that she is honest and truthful that she has gone under the knife. When she starred in the historical drama Sungkyunkwan Scandal, old photos of the actress spread online. According to her, her mother allowed her to do double eyelid surgery when she was in high school. She also did nose surgery during that time due to a broken nose sustained in an accident. She said, “I don’t think it’s a bad idea to truthfully state something as is. The past is important, but I hope people focus more on the current ‘actress Park Min Young.'”
2. Minzy
In 2013, girl group 2NE1 member Minzy was rumoured to have work done YG Entertainment, her label then denied the rumours, saying that the K-pop idol looked different because of age. Eventually, the star admitted to having done a nose job.
“Since long ago, I suffered when I was singing and dancing due to my rhinitis. When I went to the hospital, they told me I needed surgery because my nose was crooked toward the front,” Minzy shared with a local news agency.
“Since I’ve never undergone surgery before, I was worried. My mother suggested that since I was already getting corrective surgery to straighten my nose, I should also get plastic surgery. So I worried over it even longer.” After receiving permission from YG’s CEO, Yang Hyun Suk, Minzy then went ahead with the procedure.
