2PM's Nichkhun undergoes facial lifting procedure for upcoming concert

Nichkhun revealed on the YouTube channel "Three in the Afternoon" on the 27th that he underwent a 10-minute facial lifting laser treatment to prepare for an upcoming 2PM concert. The singer, who previously drew attention for an extreme diet of only three eggs over three days, shared his decision to manage facial sagging ahead of his stage performances.

2PM member Nichkhun has revealed that he underwent a facial lifting procedure to prepare for an upcoming concert. Having previously drawn attention for an extreme diet where he ate only three eggs over three days, he is now showcasing his dedication to self-management by openly discussing his skincare routines. While maintaining a sharp jawline, Nichkhun candidly shared his reasons for focusing on his appearance, noting, "When you get older, isn't it inevitable that things sag?"

On the YouTube channel "Three in the Afternoon," a video titled "It's My First Time Washing a Car" was released on the 27th. In the video, Nichkhun and Jun. K used their break before filming to check their appearances in a mirror. While checking his face, Nichkhun asked Jun. K, "Is it okay?" to which Jun. K responded by noting the changed jawline, saying, "Khun, your face is stuck right here."

Wooyoung, who was watching the conversation, asked why they were looking in the mirror so frequently. Jun. K explained that Nichkhun had recently received a facial lifting laser treatment. Nichkhun did not hide the fact, explaining that he underwent the procedure to manage his appearance before taking the stage for the upcoming 2PM concert.

Nichkhun explained that he focused on skincare during his concert preparations, stating, "It provides lifting and cooling as well." He expressed his desire to look his best on stage, adding, "Because I need to look pretty." This indicates that he puts effort into his facial management, alongside costumes and stage production, for performances in front of fans.

Providing further details about the procedure, Nichkhun mentioned that while laser treatments often require the application of anesthetic cream due to pain, this particular session was completed in just 10 minutes. He emphasized the necessity of management, stating, "When you get older, isn't it inevitable that things sag? You have to manage it." This is interpreted as his intention to maintain his best possible appearance on stage while accepting the natural changes that come with age.

This is not the first time Nichkhun's appearance management has garnered attention. In a video released on 2PM's official YouTube channel in May, he drew interest by appearing with a fuller face than before. Fans focused on his changed physique, and he later gained attention again when it was revealed that he had actually embarked on weight loss.

Appearing on the SBS entertainment program "No, But Seriously!" in July, Nichkhun showed up with a much thinner face. He explained that his weight gain was due to eating a lot while visiting his family home because he did not have many schedules at the beginning of the year. He subsequently revealed that he started dieting ahead of the 2PM concert in Japan.

In particular, Nichkhun surprised the cast and viewers by stating, "I ate only three eggs for three days." His disclosure of this extreme reduction in food intake over a short period made his weight loss process a topic of discussion. However, a diet consisting of only three eggs over three days may result in significant nutritional deficiencies and is difficult to recommend as a standard weight loss method.

Born in 1988, Nichkhun debuted as a member of 2PM in 2008 and has since been active as a singer and broadcaster. Although much time has passed since his debut, he continues to focus on weight and skin management to deliver high-quality performances on stage. Following his past experience with extreme weight loss, his honest disclosure regarding the lifting procedure has drawn interest into how he continues his self-management before stepping onto the stage.
