The post, titled “Wendy was insanely pretty when she debuted,” quickly gained traction, amassing over 42,000 views. The original poster included screenshots from TikTok showing Wendy during Red Velvet‘s debut with “Happiness,” writing:
“Wendy used to be so pretty when she first debuted.
Why does her face look so different now…? She kind of looked like Lee Yeon-hee — she was seriously beautiful. I still remember watching Happiness back in the day and being totally shocked by how pretty Wendy was.
Other than her eyebrows changing, I can’t really tell what else is different… What could it be?”

Online Debate Heats Up
The post set off a fierce debate in the comments, with some users defending Wendy and others speculating that more significant procedures were involved. Many brought up Wendy’s traumatic 2019 accident during rehearsals for the SBS Gayo Daejeon, in which she sustained serious injuries including fractures to her pelvis, wrist, and cheekbone.
Some commenters believe changes in her appearance may stem from reconstructive surgery following the accident, while others dismissed this as an excuse and insisted on cosmetic enhancements.
Comments on Pann:
- “Fans should stop using the accident as an excuse. It just makes things more ridiculous lol.”
- “Fact: She had surgery on her cheekbones due to the accident. Fact: She kept getting work done after that.”
- “Saying it’s just her eyebrows? Do you have vision problems or are you just trying to stir hate for Wendy? Anyone can tell she got plastic surgery.”
- “Obviously her face changed because she had plastic surgery.”
- “Her face was badly damaged in the Gayo Daejeon accident and she had a lot of surgery… If you’re curious, Google it before you talk, kid.”
Whether the visual differences are due to cosmetic procedures or reconstructive efforts following a serious accident, Wendy’s appearance continues to spark impassioned discussion online.
