Jang Won Young, a member of the popular K-pop group IVE, has faced ongoing accusations of having undergone plastic surgery since her debut at a young age with IZ*ONE. Recently, a dedicated fan took a stand, compiling photographic evidence to debunk these claims and highlight her natural beauty.
Jang Won Young, who debuted at 14, has constantly been in the public eye. This attention has led to frequent speculation about cosmetic procedures. A fan decided to address these rumors directly by sharing a collection of photos spanning Jang Won Young’s time in IZ*ONE and her current activities with IVE.
A Fan’s Defense and Netizen Reactions
The fan who compiled the photos expressed their surprise at Jang Won Young’s consistent beauty, even from her childhood. They stated, “I was so shocked at how pretty she was as a baby. I thought ‘So this is how a pretty baby turns out to be when they grow up’.” They included baby photos to further support their argument that her beauty is natural.
“And I’ve seen these photos from her IZ*ONE days, yet there are still people saying she got plastic surgery. I seriously don’t get these delusional claims… She looks exactly the same! Honestly, why is there even a plastic surgery controversy about Jang Won Young? She looks the same like it’s from the same era of her career. To be honest, these days, plastic surgery is pretty much standard for celebrities, but even if Jang Won Young did get something done, it probably wasn’t much—or maybe she didn’t get anything done at all.”
Despite this defense, opinions among Korean netizens remain divided. Some agree that Jang Won Young’s appearance hasn’t changed significantly, while others insist she has had some procedures.
Here are some of the comments from netizens:
“I’ve never seen a young idol as naturally pretty as Jang Won Young being harassed so much over plastic surgery rumors.”
“It’s honestly ridiculous how persistent these kinds of claims are, even when everyone knows what her past photos look like. Some comments even say her bone structure ‘shrunk’ or something, which is laughable. Her bone structure is obviously the same—do these people have vision problems?”
“When people try to compare photos to claim she’s had surgery, they usually take unedited airport photos with no makeup and compare them to heavily made-up, photoshopped, and retouched concept photos. Even at the same age, differences in makeup can make someone look different.”
“The claim that she got lip fillers just because of overlined lips in some photos is absurd. Without makeup, her lips look exactly the same. Yet some people insist on calling it fillers while saying other members just overline their lips—it’s so illogical, it makes you wonder if there’s an anti-marketing campaign against her.”
“Honestly, why does it even matter if idols have plastic surgery or not? Regular people and YouTubers get procedures and double eyelid surgery without anyone caring. But when it comes to Won Young, people obsessively try to use old photos to push these weak claims. It’s so stupid. There are tons of past photos and videos of her that prove she hasn’t changed much.”
“There are people claiming she’s had double eyelid surgery, botox for her jaw and lips, and whatnot. Of course, since they’re her own photos, there might be moments where they look similar—but everyone can tell she hasn’t fundamentally changed. Still, people keep bringing up differences they think they see, which is ridiculous.”
“It’s been almost a decade of people being jealous of Jang Won Young. As long as these forums stay active, she’ll continue to dominate discussions and remain a hot topic.”
“From looking at photos, it’s clear she hasn’t had major procedures like contouring or rhinoplasty. If anything, there might have been some double eyelid work or minor lip fillers. Denying either entirely or making up lies about what she’s done seems equally pointless.”
“It’s obvious to anyone—if she did have double eyelid surgery or lip fillers, it’s just minor tweaks. Her natural beauty is already stunning, so at most, any adjustments would’ve been minor refinements.”
The debate surrounding Jang Won Young’s appearance continues, with fans and netizens offering differing perspectives. The fan’s efforts to compile evidence of her natural beauty highlight the intense scrutiny faced by young idols in the K-pop industry.
