While K-pop fans debate who the main visuals of BABYMONSTER, Pharita drew mixed reactions after seeing her pre-debut visuals. 

BABYMONSTER, the little sister of BLACKPINK has been gaining attention for their incredible beauty & skills. All seven were "all-rounders," a debate on who should get the "main" positions even arose among K-pop fans.  

One of the discussions that netizens can't let go of is who's the main visual of the group. While Ahyeon initially received the majority of the attention due to her striking face, some people also named Asa, Rora, and Pharita as members with the highest potential to fulfill this role. 

As the debate goes on, the members' pre-debut photos have also been going rounds on the internet, including Pharita's past shoots. Among BAEMON, the Thai member gives off a sweet, elegant atmosphere, and she even earned the nickname "Thai Princess."

 Pharita boasts flawless, fair skin, a small nose, and delicate features, and she balances the group's strong image with her pure and innocent visuals. The 05-born star was also lauded for her sweet vocals and gentle personality. 

However, upon delving deeper into her pre-debut days, netizens discovered her photos as a child model, making them skeptical if she's a natural beauty.

Contrary to her past photos, her nose tip is noticeably larger and flatter than her current nose. When she was younger, Pharita also had tanned skin, contrary to her porcelain skin. Seeing this, some fans insisted that Pharita most likely had a nose job. 

On the flip side, MONSTIEZ (BABYMONSTER fandom) refuted this speculation, stating that Pharita has more pre-debut photos squashing the nose job allegation. 

Rather than cosmetic surgery, the idol looks like she has a smaller nose due to how her makeup style changed. Even plastic surgeons agreed that Pharita's round nose is natural. 

Also, her fans implied that if she indeed had beauty enhancement, there was nothing wrong with it since she actually got prettier and it would not make her less of a person. 

• "It could be because of makeup, but if she had surgery, it's no big deal."
• "Are you blind? Her face is the same."
• "Pharita is still the prettiest."

Meanwhile, BABYMONSTER, the group to which Pharita belongs will meet music fans around the world with its full-fledged activities in the second half of this year. 

On July 27, the group announced their fandom name, MONSTIEZ, and hinted at their desire to expand the scope of their communication with fans by holding their first domestic fan meeting, "[BABYMONSTER PRESENTS: SEE YOU THERE] FINALE IN SEOUL” since their debut on August 10-11.

On August 17 and 18, the group will join Japan's largest music festival, "Summer Sonic 2024," and prepare for the release of their first full-length album.
