A Korean actress has once again shown a seemingly altered appearance amid ongoing plastic surgery rumors.
On September 30th, a video was posted on Instagram with the short caption “morning walk” by Han Chae Young.
The video shows Han Chae Young walking in a neighborhood park, wearing a cropped hoodie, a denim skirt, and pearl-embellished slippers made of fur material, catching attention.
This year alone, she has faced five plastic surgery rumors. From the right side, she showed her familiar appearance, but from the front and other angles, her cheeks appeared swollen around the cheekbones, drawing attention.
Han Chae Young has been embroiled in plastic surgery rumors multiple times. In May, during her first TikTok live broadcast, she appeared with heavy eyeliner and shading makeup different from usual. Many netizens responded, saying, “I didn’t recognize her,” and “She looks different from before.” Her somewhat pale face fueled speculations about health issues and plastic surgery.
Beloved Actress Worries Fans With Her “Changed” Appearance During Live Broadcast
In response, Han Chae Young showed her familiar facial features on social media the following month. Netizens felt relieved, commenting, “It was just the makeup,” and “It was a misunderstanding from the live capture.”
However, in a video uploaded on the 8th of the same month, she showed slightly swollen cheeks and an unnatural nose bridge, sparking renewed rumors of plastic surgery such as philtrum reduction.
On the 21st and 22nd of last month, she visited a store opened by broadcaster Jeong Joon Ha and showed a changed appearance in the nose bridge and lower face. On the 28th, she appeared with heavy eye makeup and a face that looked somewhat swollen beneath the cheekbones, continuing the plastic surgery rumors.
Meanwhile, Han Chae Young was born in 1980. She debuted in 2000 and married a Korean American businessman four years her senior in 2007. They have a son born in 2013.
