I Am SOLO's Young-sook clarifies plastic surgery rumors after appearance change

Young-sook, a participant from the 28th season of 'I Am SOLO', addressed plastic surgery suspicions on the 21st by revealing she underwent under-eye fat repositioning four months prior to her recent photos. She noted that heavy makeup and long eyebrows also contributed to the changed impression that triggered online curiosity.

Young-sook, a participant from the 28th season of 'I Am SOLO', has directly addressed plastic surgery suspicions surrounding her significantly changed appearance. After appearing with a vastly different atmosphere following hair and makeup styling, reactions surfaced questioning if she had undergone eye and nose surgery. Young-sook explained the reason for her changed look by revealing she had undergone an under-eye fat repositioning procedure and noting the impact of heavy makeup.

On the 21st, Young-sook posted on her social media, "After hair and makeup, they asked if I had eye and nose surgery..." She noted that after sharing photos of her completed hair and makeup, she received continuous questions from those around her regarding whether she had undergone plastic surgery. As her atmosphere changed enough to alter her impression compared to her usual self, interest in her physical transformation appears to have intensified online.

Young-sook cited under-eye fat repositioning as the background for her changed impression. She did not hide the procedure, stating, "I had under-eye fat repositioning four months before taking those photos." She added, "The secret to my face looking bright even when I am not smiling might be the under-eye fat repositioning," suggesting the changes under her eyes influenced her overall impression.

However, she also emphasized that the look in the photos was not achieved through the procedure alone. "I attached very long eyebrows and the shading is no joke. Therefore, it's not my face," she said wittily. She meant that the makeup, which featured long eyebrows and emphasized shading, created an atmosphere different from her usual style. Rather than taking the plastic surgery suspicions heavily, she clarified the situation with her characteristic candid tone.

Controversies regarding the appearance of broadcast participants can easily spread from a single photograph. In particular, because eye shapes and facial contours can appear different depending on lighting, filming angles, and makeup techniques, it is difficult to conclude whether plastic surgery has occurred based on a specific photo alone. Young-sook directly answered the online curiosity by distinguishing between the effects of the procedure and the makeup.

Young-sook gained recognition as a participant in the 28th season of the ENA and SBS Plus 'I Am SOLO' divorcee special. Since then, she has garnered interest not only for her appearances on the show but also for her daily life and physical changes shared via social media. This time, her glamorous styling triggered a larger-than-expected reaction leading to plastic surgery suspicions, but she stepped in personally to clarify the situation.

Currently, Young-sook is appearing on the KBS Joy and MBC every1 show 'Contract Marriage', where she showcases her married life living in the United States with Sang-cheol, a participant from the 16th season of 'I Am SOLO'. As the subsequent lives of participants who met on dating reality programs continue to lead to further broadcast content, Young-sook remains a subject of consistent public interest regarding both her daily life and her appearance.
