Hong Jin Young reveals skin treatment: 'Managing my skin after six months'

Singer Hong Jin Young has candidly shared her skin care secrets and recent visit to a dermatology clinic. Showing off a clear complexion and a natural look close to a bare face, she maintained sincere communication with fans by openly disclosing that she underwent a skin procedure.

On the 15th, Hong posted several photos and videos on her social media (SNS), writing, "After visiting the dermatologist at the end of last year, I kept putting it off, but I finally met the director again after almost half a year," adding, "He is still a pleasant person."

In the released photos, Hong gazes at the camera in a natural style instead of her usual glamorous stage makeup. Her clean skin with almost no blemishes, natural makeup, and distinct facial features harmonize to create her signature bright and pure atmosphere.

In particular, even without excessive styling, her elastic skin texture and balanced facial lines stood out, capturing the attention of fans. Many noted that her comfortable and natural charm was highlighted, offering a different side from the glamorous image she usually presents on stage.

In her post, Hong directly revealed her skin care routine, adding, "I got some laser treatment on my face for the first time in a while." She then added a hashtag, "Now is the age to start managing myself," conveying the importance of consistent self-care.

In her subsequent communication with fans, she answered questions about the procedure honestly. In response to comments asking what kind of treatment she received, she shared her experience, explaining that she underwent a radiofrequency-based lifting procedure.

However, the effectiveness and suitability of skin treatments can vary depending on an individual's skin and health condition, and it is advisable to decide on medical procedures after sufficient consultation with professional medical staff.

Reactions from fellow celebrities also followed.

Comedian Kim Ji-min cheered for Hong's recent update by leaving a comment saying, "You're so pretty." Fans also responded enthusiastically with various comments such as "Your bare face is even purer," "I love how you honestly reveal your management process," "You look younger as time goes by," "I can feel your consistent self-care," and "The comfortable atmosphere is impressive."

As more celebrities share their self-care processes—such as skin care, exercise, and diet—through SNS, Hong is being praised for maintaining authentic communication with fans by being transparent about her treatments.

Hong has continued her musical activities, having released the '13579' composer version last May, and consistently meets fans through broadcasts, performances, and various content. Attention is focused on what new steps she will take as she continues her diverse activities beyond music.
