Park Jihyo (박지효), a member of the K-pop girl group TWICE, has recently sparked plastic surgery rumors following the release of new photos. Fans have compared her past and present images, questioning if her nose shape has changed and even speculating about a potential rhinoplasty.
The discussion began after Jihyo posted a series of photos on Instagram from a Mugler brand photoshoot. One particular side-profile shot caught the attention of some netizens, who noticed what they perceived as a difference in her nose compared to previous images. This quickly led to side-by-side comparisons and speculation about a potential nose job.
The speculation quickly gained traction online, with some fans expressing surprise. Comments included, “Jihyo seems to have had a nose job,” and “I can’t believe Jihyo actually got her nose done,” reflecting their astonishment at the perceived change in her appearance.
However, many other fans argued that if Jihyo had undergone rhinoplasty, her recovery period would likely be longer. Rhinoplasty typically requires several months, or even up to a year, for the nose to fully stabilize and appear natural. Given her busy schedule, they found it unlikely she would have had sufficient time for surgery and recovery.
Other netizens suggested that the perceived difference could simply be due to factors like camera angles, lighting, and makeup, rather than actual surgery. One fan jokingly commented, “K-pop fans are finally realizing that angles and lighting really do affect facial contours and features.”
Furthermore, other TWICE fans have also noticed changes in Jihyo’s nose shape in recent photos, keeping the discussion active.
It is worth noting that even if Jihyo did undergo cosmetic or plastic surgery, many fans believe it is entirely her personal choice and should not be a matter of public scrutiny. They emphasized, “Whether she did it or not, it shouldn’t be something the public needs to discuss.”
As of now, Jihyo has not responded to the speculation regarding a potential rhinoplasty. The claims remain based solely on netizens' interpretations of her photos.
