Did TWICE's Jihyo Get a Nose Job? Side-Profile Photos Spark Online Debate

TWICE's Jihyo (지효) recently shared a set of brand photos on her personal Instagram, but one side-profile shot unexpectedly drew the most attention. Online users began scrutinizing the shape of her nose, fueling speculation over whether she had undergone rhinoplasty.

As the discussion continued, Korean online users recently resurfaced older photos of Jihyo and compared her nose shape from different periods. Some said the bridge of her nose appeared to have changed, prompting debate over whether she may have had a cosmetic procedure or plastic surgery.

A related post recently drew attention on a Korean online community. The original poster uploaded photos of Jihyo from different periods for comparison, saying the more noticeable bump on her nose bridge in the past seemed to have disappeared and speculating that she may have altered the shape through a cosmetic procedure or surgery.

After the photos circulated, reactions were divided. Some said Jihyo’s current nose shape looks natural and attractive, leaving comments such as, “She’s pretty in a different way,” and “It looks natural.” Others wondered how she may have changed the bump on her nose bridge.

Other users believed Jihyo may have had a related procedure or surgery, speculating in comments such as, “She probably had some kind of procedure or surgery,” and “I also think she had work done.”

Some, however, did not like the change, saying Jihyo’s previous features had more individuality. One commenter wrote, “But I think she had more charm before.” Others praised her new look, saying it suited her, with one comment reading, “I think it was a very good decision. It looks really good.” Some also noticed that the tip of her nose appeared more defined.

Amid the continuing discussion, fans said that even if Jihyo had received a cosmetic procedure or plastic surgery, it would be her own choice and not something outsiders need to magnify. One person wrote, “Whether she did it or not, it shouldn’t be something the public needs to discuss.”

For now, claims about whether Jihyo underwent a cosmetic procedure or plastic surgery remain speculation based mainly on photos. Neither Jihyo nor JYP Entertainment has responded to the rumors.
