OP continued:

"When she was on the 'No Prepared' show, she really looks pretty like a black-haired fox. I don't think she had any more surgery, or if it was just not recognizable.

Honestly, it never came to me that Chaeryeong will get this pretty? Nowadays, she's been living her glory days and it's impressive that even her journalists' photos are so pretty."

Along with the post were photos taken by Korean media outlets and were posted in real-time.

Now, people are suddenly appreciating Chaeryeong's beauty.

  • But in my eyes, her voice, good skin, and good dancing were attractive..."
  • "She was just undervalued because there were many silly kids who mistook their unique looks for being 'ugly' even if they were originally pretty."
