On July 3, netizens established a community post titled, "But Did Sullyoon Do Plastic Surgery?"
According to the post, the author expressed curiosity regarding Sullyoon's appearance and asked if she went under a procedure.
The OP also mentioned fourth-gen K-pop female idols such as Jang Wonyoung of IVE and Karina of aespa in the forum. OP then recalled the hate train they experienced from netizens due to plastic surgery rumors, which were raised when their childhood photos were uploaded.
OP captioned:
"I have always been curious about this and so I decided to write this post after seeing the photo below.
Aren't kids like Jang Wonyoung and Karina getting hate for allegedly getting plastic surgery after having one or two photos of their elementary school days posted?
You can tell that Sullyoon changed after only looking at her high school photos. People in the comments were saying how she never did plastic surgery, so I became curious."
This was followed by the OP's photos of Sullyoon, which showed the idol's pre-debut days and a comparison of her side profile.
In the comments, K-netz pointed out some of Sullyoon's certain features such as her nose tip. Others rolled their eyes at the post since they considered the forum to be a ploy to hate on Sullyoon. Read their comments below:
"It's her braces and nose tip."
"I personally still think that she's a (visual) wall now, but she looked way more naturally pretty before her nose fillers."
"I'm not sure about her nose bridge, but her nose tip is irrefutable."
"Your way of talking is f**king funny. You have pictures of her saved in your gallery and you claim that you're just "curious."
"Sullyoon's haters haven't been able to leave her alone for days and have been boiling inside."
Meanwhile, international fans drew out their take on the topic, and most were divided on the platform. Here's what they said:
"No. Sullyoon could definitely pass as natural."
"She has been natural since day 1, literally she looks literally and exactly the same as her childhood."
"She's gorgeous obviously but she never looked natural in the first place. I wonder if Koreans as a collective have built up a plastic surgery blindness due to it being everywhere."
"Her nose before suits her so much better imo but her nose now is still pretty!"
"Who cares? Leave her alone ffs."
In other news, NMIXX promoted their comeback "DASH" on Rain's YouTube show "Season B Season." In the episode, which was released on January 18, Sullyoon revealed her reason for joining JYP Entertainment.
During the show, Rain asked the idol why she ultimately signed with JYP Entertainment despite being also accepted in YG and SM. Sullyoon shared that she joined JYP since she was a huge TWICE fan, and revealed that her bias was Sana.
