It is a widely known fact amongst fans that he got his double eyelids done in college. In his teens, he had naturally low inner double eyelids like in the photo below.

Even up to middle school, he did not have double eyelids.

After his debut, his double eyelids changed from inner to parallel double eyelids.
But when looking at more recent pictures of him, it seems like he has reversed the surgery. His left eye is back to being primarily a single eyelid.

It could have been done intentionally by a reversal surgery, or it could have happened naturally.
Eyelid surgery is not 100% permanent, and the eyelid can return to its original state.

It seems like he is pretty content with the single eyelid as it is, for he has not made moves to restore it.

Fans find that this makes him look even more handsome.
