Nose job? Eyelid surgery? Korean celebrities such as Shinji open up about their treatments


A growing number of South Korean celebrities are openly discussing their cosmetic procedures, signalling a cultural shift in how stars engage with the public about beauty standards.

This week, Shinji of K-pop trio Koyote posted on her personal social media, โ€œWhatever. Itโ€™s obvious anyway, so Iโ€™ll just say it,โ€ admitting she had undergone double eyelid surgery. Her visibly more prominent eyelid crease immediately caught fansโ€™ attention.

โ€œItโ€™s only been a week, but Iโ€™m grateful for the last-minute schedule I was able to attend,โ€ Shinji wrote, pre-emptively addressing potential criticism. โ€œOnce the swelling goes down, itโ€™ll look similar to before. So, no saying โ€˜You looked better before.โ€™ Wait until it heals.โ€

Broadcaster Jang Young-ran also drew attention recently for revealing she has had four eyelid operations. She even shared a candid moment consulting for eyeliner tattoo removal.

Similarly, actress Han Ye-seul revealed she receives Ultherapy yearly, a non-invasive procedure that stimulates collagen production. โ€œIt depends on your skin type, but I start the year fresh with Ultherapy,โ€ she said.

โ€œItโ€™s painful, so I get it under sedation. Since Iโ€™m already under, I also get Dermatoxin and Rejuran treatments at the same time. If my skin feels off midyear, I sometimes get Thermage as well.โ€
