Following Red Velvet's latest comeback with "Cosmic," renewed interest in Joy's changed visuals has sparked among Korean netizens.

Red Velvet's Joy is renowned for her radiant beauty and captivating presence, often going viral with her stunning visuals.

Recently, Joy has become a hot topic on South Korena online community forums following her decision to allegedly undergo double eyelid surgery. Many fans have expressed regret for the idol's changed visuals, claiming that this choice has altered her naturally fresh and vibrant appearance.

Following the procedure, Joy has constantly been spotted with eyelids that appear swollen and somewhat unnatural. Korean netizens expressed their distaste for this new look, claiming she now looks less appealing.

Additionally, Korean netizens pointed out that Joy has a tendency to yo-yo in her weight, and that it is easy for the idol to gain weight. This contributes to a fuller facial appearance. This has led to mixed reactions about her recent surgery, with some suggesting that it takes away from her elegance.

However, ReVeluvs (Red Velvet's fandom) remains supportive. Some theorized that recent weight gain may have contributed to her fuller face, but stated that she can always lose the weight. They also stressed that if Joy did undergo cosmetic surgery, she did it to be more confident in her appearance.

• "I liked her face better before the eyelid surgery. She seemed more seductive and elegant."
• "As long as Joy is happy, she should do whatever she likes!"
• "She is still beautiful, yet all people can talk about is her eyelid surgery."
• "I personally preferred her look before the surgery, especially since she’s also gained weight."
