• What, is that really her? And they expect people to not talk about it?

• lol it is so obvious. You are a public figue and looks are part of your profession. People are going to talk about it. You look like a different person lmao

• Almost didn’t recognize her! She’s gotten very thin.

• I think we still can recognize her but it looks like her face is frozen, it's kinda scary. I hope it just the pictures.

• I feel sad for celebrities that people say something about their looks. The pressure to keep the youthful look must be so heavy. The thing is, she lost so much weight and lost a little of her youth, of course she would look a little different.

• Can they really take legal action? I mean, doesn't S. Korea have freedom of speech?
  She looks quite scary in these photos but I think it's more from her being so skinny than it is from the plastic surgery.

• She looks the same. It's just that she was always sporting short hair or bob.

  Now she has longer hair and she even ties her hear, making her face look smaller and sharper than usual.
  And she may have lots of weight too.

• She always has plastic surgery done. Needing a yearly tune-up is just regular maintenance.

  • Throwing meanie comments is really you specialty. Why don’t you look at yourself? Compare how you look 5 years ago and look forward how you would look like 5 years from now. You would probably look like having plastic surgery gone wrong.

    • She has PS done. This is the truth. It is very common in SK. Do you really think a face like her with such thick makeup is all neutral? Why are you so defensive for her? Don’t take my comment as a personal attack even though you may have PS too. Accept that some actresses have PS and there is no need to be ashamed to admit the truth. PS is as common as getting your hair dyed, it is so obvious why lie about it?

    • There are some very famous K-actresses who look the same for 5, 10, 15 years and are A-list CF stars. Not everyone changes face every 5 years. I cannot understand why you have to defend for her. There are variety of people in k-industry, some are neutral some are man made. This is just the fact. I am only a drama watcher, I don’t need to inspect my face to compare with her.

    • *natural, not neutral

    • @MistyEyes - I am not the only one who notice her obvious PS. Why do you pick on me specifically? I don’t really enjoy your reply and your attention. You telling me to “look at yourself” has already cross the line of being a commenter here. Please do not mix entertainment and real life especially when you are replying to me from now on.

    • Sadly your comments are the most judgmental amongst the bunch. If you are young and knows nothing about life that you can’t feel empathy, I can understand a little but still no excuse for you to say spiteful things online. It’s sad notice that maybe you don’t have guidance growing up. But if you are an adult, geezz, you must have lived a very insecure life and inferior upbringing.

      And, take time to re-read your comments. You are talking as if celebrities aren’t human beings and sound like it’s ok for you to say mean things about them. Tsk tsk tsk...

    • I don’t appreciate your advice. I never use any swear words nor any profanities. My honest opinions are always written this way. Like it or not, I am not going to change because I perceive you as a Bully always picking on my words. You are a Stranger to me so mind your own business. I don’t need any of your life lessons. This is a playground for all young and old regardless. You can interpret all you want and I don’t really care. I know what I am saying so I don’t need to reread. You teach you own children but not me please. You being old does not give you the right to talk down on younger people!! You must have lots of time to analyze others upbringing, but you cannot change me.

    • If throwing spiteful comments about others makes you happy and the definition of honesty to you, good luck!

    • thank you. Still it’s really none of your business on my conduct. You can dislike me but I don’t need to know. So you seriously don’t need to reply me from now on.

    • No no don’t ignore trash candy

      Trash needs to know they’re trash so that they don’t think they can say whatever they want without consequences.

    • @Kin - NO TEACHER in the world will teach children to label someone a trash. You need REFLECTION on yourself for your own comments!

  • I'm not going to comment on the rest because there seems to be some history behind this conversation that I am not privy to. However, the very first comment by Candycane might very well be true and I do not mean this as an insult towards Hwang Jung-eum in the least. Some procedures simply may require maintenance because they are not permanent, such as botox injections or lip injections. And right after procedure their effect might look was more pronounced than expected because it will take a bit time until the effect settles into the appearance that was sought for. A collegue of mine at work took lip injections and right after the operation her lips were REALLY huge and puffy and you could immediately tell she had had a plactic operation. Now that some time has passed her lips look just full and nice.

    I've personally never liked Hwang as an actor and it's partly due to how she looks like; her face looks quite uncanny due to operations she's had. However, in no way do I judge her because the pressure in the industry must be tramendously severe and honestly, I would guess that MOST Korean celebrities have had some operations done. Hwang has simply been unlucky in that hers are so visible compared to others (I'm saying unlucky because the obviousness of her operations puts her into the limelight - I am NOT saying she is unlucky in how she looks like. Yes, personally I do not like it, but that is strictly my personal opinion and in no way do I insinuate this is some general truth. I hope she herself is happy and that is the most important thing. I am certain that there are many people who find her beautiful and that is an excellent thing.)

    Another point, though, is that I am not against plastic surgery even in general. Heck, I would do it myself if I had the money. But just in general I strongly dislike this general judgy attitude towards plastic surgery (not talking about commenters here but public attitude) and find it really hypocritical. First, women are mostly valued by their looks and youthfullness but heaven forbid they go under the knife to achive/maintain those things they are almost solely valued for. Ugh. Not to mention, if a man invests into things men are generally valued for, he is applauded for it. But if a woman works hard and then invests into her looks, that is despised and condemned for it. I feel like men are fully allowed to better their position in life but women should just be content with that they were born with and that's it.

    • @arawn

      Your points are all valid and I agree with them personally.

      I know you don’t have any knowledge of the past history but Candy cane on the other hand, she doesn’t actually care about sharing the truth more than maliciously attacking others. In recent posts on this blog regarding deaths of celebs that took their life, she would make so many tone deaf, callous comments of them. Her posts on incidents such as this are just heavy-handed fists of meanness and snark. Her comments often irks many commentators here, so it’s normal to see her get into a war with them. It’s not even a surprise.

    • @Kin - you are a troll. Talking about past history while this article has nothing to do with deaths. I can sue you for defamation!

    • Candy trash, please learn reading comprehension. I’m talking about previous topic posts, not this topic post. I was giving him/her a history of your past, how you tend to be so callous with your comments.

      Since you act like a kid, go enroll into school and learn how to read properly, and maybe learn some common decency while at it.

    • It is certainly NOT common decency for calling someone “trash”.

• Her eyes, they look a lot bigger, bulgier. Could she have a health issue such as hyperthyroidism? When your thyroids are over active, you lose weight easily, eyes protrude giving you bulgy eyes. Just a couple of symptoms of hyperthyroidism among a long list. Hope that isn’t the case.

• She looks so thin. Hope everything is okay.
