aespa’s Ningning Faces Plastic Surgery Accusations: Fans Defend with Old Photos
The never-ending debate over K-pop idols and plastic surgery has reached aespa‘s NingNing. Recently, a few photos sparked renewed rumors that the singer may have gone under the knife, but fans are having none of it.
One viral post on Pann boldly stated, “Ningning definitely got plastic surgery lol,” only to be met with swift backlash.
“No, she didn’t,” the OP directly replied, sharing side-by-side images of Ningning before and after debut. “Eyes, nose, lips, face shape, everything looks the same. What exactly did she change?” The OP also argued that a couple of awkward screenshots taken mid-performance are being unfairly used to push a baseless narrative.
Netizens also defended aespa‘s Ningning against plastic surgery rumors, pointing out that her facial features have remained the same since her rookie days.
Comments on Pann:
- “She actually looked prettier before debut. Her early debut styling was honestly terrible.”
- “Even in aespa, where most of the members are already thin, she became the thinnest: she really lost a lot of weight. Aside from the diet, I don’t see any differences. Her facial features didn’t change at all, and her jawline was already sharp, just hidden by baby fat. People will still bring up liposuction, but if you look at Ningning from before “Spicy” in 2023 to now, you can clearly see she gradually slimmed down over time. If she weren’t an SM idol, people would just say she got prettier through dieting.”
- “Even just looking at her rookie days, her eyes, nose, and mouth are exactly the same. If you look at old pics and videos, she looks just like she does now, just with some baby fat that made her look a bit younger. She worked super hard on dieting, is under celeb-level management now, and her styling changed dramatically. But Ningning was already pretty, her original features were all there from the rookie days.”
- “She may have done some minor adjustments, but that doesn’t even count as plastic surgery.”
- “People who don’t know anything keep yelling “plastic surgery” lol… Ningning was always pretty to begin with.”
On forums and social media, the sentiment is clear: Ningning’s visuals have been consistent, and accusations are just another case of nitpicking idols under the microscope.
