Asian Junkie Asian pop. Without discretion.
A recent topic of discussion is whether actress Shin Se Kyung cut her face up, especially after her appearance on KBS 2TV‘s “Entertainment Relay“.
Netizens compared her recent appearance with past images, pointing out she now seems to possess thicker double eyelids, a perfect V-line jaw, as well as plumper cheeks. Some commented, “Did she get plastic surgery?”, “Something’s changed”, “Her pictures surprised me because I couldn’t recognize her”, and “She’s lost her original charms.”
Her representatives, of course, denied it.
Representatives of the actress followed up shortly after with a statement explaining, “She did not get any plastic surgery. She got surgery to erase the scars on her face. She originally had scars on both sides of her cheeks that looked like nail scratch marks. She merely had them removed during her hiatus.”
The representative continued, “The scars could be too easily seen on HD TV, and this surgery was more difficult than the average surgery involving just the use of laser. Her surgery required that part of the skin be torn and lifted. In the process of recovery, her skin swelled, which accounts for her cheeks looking more plump.”
When asked how severe the scars on her face were, he replied, “The scars were deep, and they were caught on the HD cameras no matter what we tried. She mentioned that she had a hard time auditioning when she was younger because of them. She put it off because it wasn’t an easy surgery and finally just used the time during her hiatus to get them removed.”
Concluding the explanation, he stated, “It hasn’t been that long since she had the surgery. If she had really gotten plastic surgery done, she wouldn’t have shot a CF, much less appear on ‘Entertainment Relay’.”
It shouldn’t shock you that netizens thought she had undergone a procedure, as they will speculate on just about anything.
1. [+469, -54] Double eye lid surgery + jaw ㅋㅋㅋ as well as some fat under her eyes. I could tell right away after seeing Entertainment Relay.
2. [+426, -57] She can’t even use weight loss as an excuse for this ㅋㅋㅋ Since she’s been on hiatus for so long, looks like she went and got everything fixed…
3. [+280, -38] I see a bit of Kim Nayoung in her ㅠㅠㅠ Oh no ㅠㅠ
1. [+782, -115] I was wondering why she wasn’t getting rid of those scars, looks like she finally did. For an actress, they were really apparent on screen.
2. [+787, -365] So she only got rid of her scars but all of a sudden there are aegyo fat under her eyes, thicker double eyelids, and a thinner jaw line. I don’t even think she can close her eyes properly at this rate.
3. [+663, -322] ㅋㅋㅋ Let’s not forget the thicker double eyelids and the fat transplant under her eyes ㅋㅋㅋ
So they’re known to overreact to slight differences in angles, photoshop, and lighting, but I generally don’t … and I gotta say she looks different.
Sort of like the Lee Da Hee thing where you just look at it and say, “Gee, something is … uh … off.”
What say you?
I too look a little different when I smile, maybe I had ps and don’t remember
Aside from the fact that she looks different , the half-assed denial by her agency (“Uh, yes – she DID get surgery, but it isn’t what you think”) makes the claim that she didn’t get any real work done less believable.
I honestly don’t see shit when comparing those pictures. For me it’s only the nose that looks different but that wasn’t even questioned – could also be the angle.
Wait, that was a lie. I see the ridiculous oily make up that the Korean entertainment world seems to be into lately. Is it supposed to make them appear more younger because their skin is “glowing” or are they supposed to look like hungover highschool students in their puberty suffering from all the sebum going wild on their face?
So are there better pictures to compare because judging from those I don’t think anything was done. But not everyone turns into a Park Bom so who knows.
She always had those cheeks, very visible when she smiles or laughs.
Also here you can see that she has what would be considered a “v-line” I guess: http://d1i45kki000yqu.cloudfront.net/wp-content/uploads/0/k/a8/477648/477648.jpg (picture is from January)
http://d1i45kki000yqu.cloudfront.net/wp-content/uploads/x/j/a8/477645/477645.jpg (even more pics)
And she has very visible double eyelids on both pictures up there.
omg yes ikr
I wanna throw powder all over her face
Uri No_Min just saw this on tumblr and thought you could use it tonight

those aren’r eye bags my friend
I’m honestly having a hard time telling which is before and which is after. She looks the same to me. Maybe a bit thinner? I’m clearly not good at this game. More penis articles please.
perhaps we had comparable shots and lighting we could tell ?!?!?!
Her cheeks might be plumper because, oh i don’t know, she’s smiling?????
jfc I thought Koreans were the intelligent ones. Though, I’m sure netizens don’t spend their majority of time studying.
I dunno, she looks the same
Why don’t agencies EVER tell the truth??? -.-
She does look different…
LOL I didn’t know oily make up was a trend…
I have an oily face by nature T__T
Lots of people do. =)
A little powder does wonders. You don’t need to use a lot.
WHAT IS THIS No_Min?!!???!?!?!? WHERE ARE YOUR FILTHY POSTS!??!?! >:O
LOL jk jk
Actually I was wondering why it became a trend to have oily make up.
Just like why is it a trend to have tan skin…I got it by nature too XD (except people hate my ethnic group T_T)
Looks the same to me *shrug*
I say it’s harder to describe the color yellow to a blind man
Company explanation is nicely detailed, seems legit and certainly correlates with photos. Netizens need to stop being little bitches whining ‘conspiracy’ every time a company releases a statement. They should be grateful the company said anything at all because it’s frankly not their business anyway.
They are merely trying to head off the controversy, but apparently failing miserably. :o
I hate when they have pictures where the angles and expressions aren’t even the same. USELESS, I SAY!
People do this all the time.
Specially whe they pick a photo of a 6 years old idol took in bright sunlight and then pick a photo of them when they are like 21 years old, with shit tonts of make up, special lights and photoshop. HOW the fuck do you expect them to look exactly the same?
Yes, I do believe that most celebrities had something done (not that I care or bash them for it). But at least pick better pics to compare, damn it.
yerp.
It seems to me like she got aegyo-sal for her eyes (a horrible trend btw that should just die in a fire… they are going to regret having that when they are 50+) and a rounder chin.
No shit, right? People work to get rid of that shit over here.
:o
I dont get it, why Korean think that having such eyebag is considered cute???
Won’t it makes us look tired and sleep deprived????
Exactly. I have a sleep disorder and most of the time have those horrible eyebags. Or should I tell myself that I am cute?
when i first got into kpop, i felt sorry for certain people cuz of things like that, thinking “oh, poor thing- he/ she must get a lot of shit cuz of this feature”
and then i find out that he/ she is considered the best looking in his/ her group. blows me mind.
btw, your avatar is still as glorious as ever. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK, FRAND!!!1!!
Thank you Kaffy!!!!

oh lookie, plastic surgery experts
Why is it a big deal? I thought in Korea, it was a perfectly normal thing to get things fixed and most people (women?) do it at least once in their lifetime…
Yes it is common, but there is nothing more praised than “natural beauty”.
That’s the same reason why people tend to lie about how much they take care of their skin, hair, weight, bodyshape etc. rather than admit that they use shit tons of products, diet and hit the gym every-freakin-day.
yep
Okay, I googled aegyo sal (never heard about that surgery before) and for me it looks not as bad as you guys pictured it here. Yes, some pictures were horrible, but I think it was just done badly, because I saw many good examples, where people looked younger and their eyes looked bigger after surgery. And if it was good work (if they aren’t too big and thick), those things under eyes don’t look like eyebags.
And it looks like most of Korean actresses have them
seohyun’s are outta control and need to be contained. i dunno if that’s “natural” or not, but WOWZERS!!!
maybe that’s all part of the innocent thing. she needs to break out and go cray cray or forever be known as seobot
I swear to god those bags are bigger than her actual eyelids.
eh, maybe. hard to tell. i also couldn’t care less about whether someone has plastic surgery, to each their own.
She definitely got some kind of cheek/chin lift/implant, I don’t really know much about PS but it looks like that to me. And lol at korean entertainment agencies and their plastic surgeries story tellings.
I want Brown Eyed Girls to be my plastic surgeons.

Why do people give a shit?
your icon looks like my brother :o
Only thing that looks different is her chin – but the angle is different, so, netizens are idiots and need better photos.
uhyeah she did. the fat under her eyes is the most visible one. i don’t know about the jawline tho, i never really pay attention to her.
in case if all of you don’t know, fat under eyes is one of surgery. koreans usually got it to make eyes looks bigger
Having scars removed is still plastic surgery, girl. D:
TRU
Not true. Unless it’s not a giant deep scar you can have it removed in cosmetology salons
It’s still “plastic surgery” in the sense that getting your teeth done also falls under that category.
These dumb bitches. When you smile you tend to get those aeygo-sal under your eyes and goes away when you have a straight face…well some people do get this.
I don’t know about the jaw reduction, but how can you fucking tell when the angles are different?
EHHHHHVERYTHING ABOUT THIS!!!
Of course someone with an icon of Nana is correct
Of course. Nana shows us the right path ;)
Even her breathing shows us the right path http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m6yofrVr1t1qcyraio1_250.gif
I think you fuckers are being blinded by netizen hate. She looks decidedly different to me.
:o
Wouldn’t know what her face looked like before cause I only saw her in 1 episode of that dumb drama with SNSD’s Yuri lol
Just stating what I see
Welllll xcuse me for not having ancient asian knowledge of plastic surgery lol
wasn’t calling you guys dumb bitches, i was calling them dumb k-netizens dumb bitches lol
I think people are a bit too eager to slam netizens on this one. It’s hard to make a judgement from the pictures here, but this article is just a summary, and it’s pretty easy to find the out-and-out *dissertation* netizens have written and all the pictures they’ve compared and make the judgement for yourself. Having checked that out on netizen buzz I believe it, and I’m a pretty big PS denier.
It could be just make up, I mean

Let’s face it, no asian looks the way she does unless she were mixed.
Really?
I don’t think she looks all that abnormal.
not abnormal at all, she’s very pretty, it’s just that when you see asian people walking down the street you don’t see people like this unless you’re in Korea, like when I go to ktown they all look like the ladies from the left side of this picture, respectively http://kpopchan.com/kr/src/134067956351.jpg
Her eyes aren’t that large or round though.
Sort of my point.
At first I could not tell but the more I look the more I see it. Not too bad of a surgery. As long as she doesn’t go the Park Bom route.
