TWICE’s Jihyo Faces Plastic Surgery Allegations

Her latest social media post triggered a debate.

TWICE member Jihyo has found herself amid an unexpected debate related to her appearance.

The discussion around Jihyo’s appearance started after the idol made a post on her Instagram, sharing stunning photos from a Mugler photoshoot.

One picture in particular, where Jihyo’s side profile was clearly visible, triggered allegations that her nose looked different than before. Some netizens did a side-by-side comparison, convinced that she had gotten rhinoplasty.

This speculation has sparked major reactions from netizens. On the one hand, some fans were upset at the possibility of Jihyo changing her nose…

But on the other hand, fans reasoned that it wouldn’t be possible for her to heal from a rhinoplasty this quickly, and the changed appearance was probably due to lighting and makeup.

Fans also strongly defended Jihyo’s right to get whatever procedure done to her face, pointing out that whether she did it or not should not be a public concern.
