Debates ignited after she teased her new music video.
Singer IU has gotten embroiled in speculations about getting plastic surgery after netizens claimed that her recent visuals appeared different than before.
The allegations sprouted from the recent music video teaser of “From This Star,” IU’s much-awaited comeback single. After the teaser’s release, some posts emerged online, claiming that IU’s nose in the video looked different than before.
Some made side-by-side comparisons of her side profile, claiming that the shape of the tip of her nose had changed.
These specualtions have been met with mixed opinions, with some claiming that she had minor touch ups done, while others dismissing them completely.
- “?”
- “She only had the tip of her nose defined. If you look closely, the tip, which used to be rounded, now projects more sharply. So, while it still looks natural, it creates a sleeker, more refined look rather than a soft, rounded one.”
- “Even if you look closely at the comparison photos that supposedly show she didn’t get a nose job, the nose is still 1–2 mm higher around the bridge area. So what are you talking about? LOL. Her nose is naturally so small that they couldn’t make a major change to it.”
- “Who does their nose like that?”
- “You shouldn’t take such a crude approach to plastic surgery, like saying, ‘She doesn’t look the same when you compare specific features side-by-side.’ My friends and I have all had work done, but if you put our old and new photos next to each other, we often still look the same depending on the angle or composition. The bottom line is, if someone looks different at a glance, it’s a fact that they’ve had something done. I mean, look at how much she has changed—it’s obvious, right? Be realistic: it’s not like she was stunningly beautiful since childhood, and she has been in the entertainment industry for a long time. Do you really think she didn’t get anything done? Attributing it to makeup styles or weight loss? Well, try recreating that old makeup and weight and see if the same face comes out. It definitely wouldn’t. Let’s not make such obvious, pointless excuses; we aren’t fool. We can clearly see the difference, right? She looks completely different.”
- “Whether she did it or not, what business do you have in it? IU makes plenty of money and lives her best life anyway.”
