The discussion around Jihyo’s appearance started after the idol made a post on her Instagram, sharing stunning photos from a Mugler photoshoot.
One picture in particular, where Jihyo’s side profile was clearly visible, triggered allegations that her nose looked different than before. Some netizens did a side-by-side comparison, convinced that she had gotten rhinoplasty.

But on the other hand, fans reasoned that it wouldn’t be possible for her to heal from a rhinoplasty this quickly, and the changed appearance was probably due to lighting and makeup.
Rhinoplasty take months, up to a year before the nose fully settles and starts looking “normal” again. So where the FUCK would Jihyo realistically find the downtime to get it done when they just finished a year-long tour and she’s been booked with other schedules this entire… pic.twitter.com/kTxPWknhbx

Fans also strongly defended Jihyo’s right to get whatever procedure done to her face, pointing out that whether she did it or not should not be a public concern.
