Over the years, she went on to star in many television dramas. Some of them include Giant, Can You Hear My Heart, Golden Time, Incarnation of Money and Endless Love. Her 2015 hit, Kill Me, Heal Me, gave her an increased exposure in China and boosted her popularity in China. In a short span of about 12 years, Hwang Jung Eum achieved many awards. tvN ranked her as one of the 5 earners in the Korean entertainment industry in 2015. Gallup Korea conducted a surgery to select Actors of 2015 and she came up First. With such soaring popularity and intense acting assignments, it is no wonder that Hwang Jung Eum might have undergone plastic surgery to look better.

Hwang Jung Eum did speak about her plastic surgery rumors. Recently, in Entertainment Weekly, Hwang Jung Eum was humble about her beauty, saying “When I was 26 years old, [my looks] were grade A. Back then I thought I was the prettiest person in the world. But now, it’s grade C.” But eventually she changed to grade herself a B+ and gave some beauty tips. She said “I think you become prettier if you drink a lot of water, get a lot of sleep, and keep having pretty thoughts.” She added further about her chin implants rumors, saying “I didn’t get my chin done, but people keep saying I did. I think it’s because I am too pretty.”

How’s that for a display of self-confidence.

Watch Hwang Jung Eum in an old music Video, she already looked amazing then:

Compare that to a recent interview. Other than a slightly “waxy” face, there is hardly any signs of plastic surgery:

Hwang Jung Eum and Double Eyelid Surgery Rumors

Having double eyelids is the dream of those having single eyelids. Many opt to have double eyelids because they make their eyes look bigger and brighter. Double eyelids also enable a person to be more expressive. However, double eyelid surgery is a painful process which has to be endured for a few days.

hwang-jung-eum-before-and-after-photos

For Hwang Jung Eum, her before and after photos show a stark difference in her eyes. What appeared to be slit like eyes have suddenly become bigger eyes with double eyelids. However, since Hwang Jung Eum has never admitted to plastic surgery, it is possible that she achieved double eyelids through other means.

Some say that she might have gotten her double eyelids through regular contact lens use. Well, that is not unheard of. Or it could also be due to the clever use of makeup. Some of the makeup around the eyes could also give the illusion of double eyelids.

Hwang Jung Eum and Chin Implant Rumors

Chin Implant surgery is often used to sharpen the chin area and reduce some fats around the chin area. The overall effect is to produce a more defined chin. This gives the jawline an improved appearance. Done by both men and women, chin implant surgery is a painful process but gives a significant enhancement to a person’s face shape.

For Hwang Jung Eum, say what you will but her before and after photos show no distinct difference in her chin shape. Don’t really know what sparked those chin implants rumors as her chin looks basically the same as before. She might have lost some weight since those younger days resulting in a thinner looking face. But that does not mean that she has undergone such extensive chin implants plastic surgery.

Hwang Jung Eum and Nose Job Rumors

Nose jobs, made scary by botched jobs like Michael Jackson, remain as one of the top plastic surgeries performed. Because the nose is at the center of the face, many people target the nose as their first venture into plastic surgery. A successful nose job could lead to a major enhancement in looks. But a botched nose job could lead to some irreversible, horrendous outcomes.

For Hwang Jung Eum, she is one of the fortunate Asians who are born with quite a sharp nose. Definitely not as sharp as some of Europeans stars but her nose does not really look overly flat at all. Even in her earlier photos, she already has quite a nice nose bridge and nose tip.

Looking at Hwang Jung Eum before and after photos, her nose does not seem to have changed much. If she had undergone a nose job or rhinoplasty, the effects should be more obvious than this. The slight differences could be explained by the camera angle or lighting. Though she mentioned she was not happy with her nostrils appearing too high on her face, there is no reason to suspect that she went for a nose job.

Overall, Hwang Jung Eum has managed to preserve her looks well. She is getting prettier with age without much help from plastic surgery. Being a star in South Korea, it is inevitable that plastic surgery gossip will surface once you get more popular. With the recognition she has in the acting industry, we will definitely see more of Hwang Jung Eum in years to come. Let’s hope that she does not surprise us with any distinct plastic surgery signs.

Watch a short video of Taemin back in 2008 in Thailand:

MUST WATCH: Check out his audition interview for SHINee and you will know why he was selected:

And compare the above two interviews with a recent Taemin interview below, he has grown up to be a real pin-up idol:

 

His solo career was also on track. His first release as a solo artiste was on 18 August 2014 with the album Ace, which had only 6 songs. Taemin was determined to make his solo debut album a success. He went to Los Angeles to learn the dance routines for his music video. The video for the song “Danger” was choreographed by American Choreographer Ian Eastwood and SM’s Performance directing team BeatBurger.

Taemin wanted more. He released his full album Press It on 23 February 2016. This time, he has 10 songs. One of the songs, Press Your Number, even had Bruno Mars producing the song. You can vividly tell Bruno Mars influence in the song. Taemin said that he spent a lot of time preparing on his albums and he feels that he has become “a stronger performer”.

Taemin and Eyelid Surgery Rumors

Now let’s get down to it. Despite all the talent Taemin has, nothing beats having the looks to accompany the talent. Some netizens insist that Taemin has used eyelid surgery to make his eyes look bigger and attain his double eyelids.

taemin-cosmetic-surgery

Looking at Taemin before and after photos, it is obvious that Taemin’s eyes have grown bigger. Unlike ladies who can use makeup to create bigger looking eyes, male celebrities have lesser options. Looks like no amount of makeup suitable for males would have created the larger eyes effect. And look at those double eyelids, definitely serves up a strong case of eyelid surgery.

However, some say that he wears circle lenses sometimes to make his eyes look bigger. Some die hard fans will defend Taemin’s good looks always.

But as Taemin has not admitted to any plastic surgery procedure, we can never be sure. One thing is for sure, his eyes have gone from slit-like to brighter and more expressive eyes.

Taemin and Nose Job Rumors

Nose jobs are one of the most popular plastic surgeries among celebrities. Looks like those disturbing stories about Michael Jackson’s botched nose jobs are not enough to throw people off their pursuit of the perfect nose shape.

taemin-double-eyelid-surgery

For Taemin, his before and after photos show slight difference in his nose tip. Some say that his nose tip is pointing upward in the latest photos while others insist that it is just a matter of the camera angle. Looking closer at the photos, it seems that his nose shape has not changed much. It is very possible that the differences are just due to lighting and camera positioning differences.

Overall, Taemin has achieved a lot in the entertainment industry at a young age. His performances as an actor, singer and dancer has captured the hearts of fans.

His pursuit for excellence in his career is admirable. Whether that means he is hungrier for better looks, only he knows. Whatever it may be, we can be sure that he still has some good acting and singing performances up his sleeves. What do you think of Taemin plastic surgery rumors?

Jimin AOA Plastic Surgery Before and After Photos

Did Jimin AOA Undergo Plastic Surgery?

Jimin of AOA fame is one of the most recognised South Korean idol singer and rapper. Being the main rapper and vocalist of the girl pop group AOA, Jimin naturally is one of the most scrutinised celebrity. Some of her plastic surgery speculations include double eyelid surgery and nose job. But she has never publicly admitted to having undergone any plastic surgery.

jimin-aoa-plastic-surgery-before-and-after-photos

Jimin is still young at age 25. She had a natural gift for music. As a child, she learned how to play the guitar, harmonica and piano. These early exposures to music helped her tremendously in the music industry.

From her debut in July 30 2012 as a member of AOA, Jimin went on to be part of the group AOA Black where she wrote the song Moya for them. However, the thirst for higher achievement is ever present in Jimin. She decided to try out being a solo artiste. Jimin debuted as a solo singer with the single Call You Bae on 3 March 2016. With such a perfectionist attitude, the question remains whether Jimin wanted to have the perfect look as well.

Watch Jimin from AOA in an interview:

Here is the AOA being interviewed and Jimin is standing at one side. She looks like she wanted to say something:

Jimin AOA and Nose Job Rumors

Much of the speculation on Asian celebrities is about nose jobs. Most Asians yearn for a sharper and more defined nose. As the nose is at the centre of the face, any enhancement to its shape will contribute greatly to the overall look of the face. Some opt for just the sharpening of the nose tip while others go a step further to reduce the size of their nostrils.

jimin-aoa-nose-job

For Jimin, her before and after photos show the same nose shape. There isn’t any narrowing of her nose bridge either. Wtihout these two enhancements, its hard to say that Jimin underwent rhinoplasty or a nose job. To undergo a nose job with such negligible differences is impossible to believe. As such, it looks like Jimin did not opt for a nose job at all. Her nose still looks natural, just like in her younger photos.

Jimin AOA and Double eyelid Surgery Rumors

Some netizens insist that Jimin has had double eyelid surgery. Double eyelids are often preferred to single eyelids as they make the eyes look bigger. However, as many asians have small eyes, some of them resort to plastic surgery to make their eyes look bigger.

jimin-aoa-lead-vocalist-singer-rapper

In Jimin before and after photos, her supposed double eyelid is not really obvious. Usually, a skilled plastic surgeon will be able to cut a clear double eyelid as requested. But in the case of Jimin, there is not much difference which also indicates that Jimin might not have undergone a double eyelid surgery at all.

After all, her eyes look bigger because of the makeup around the eyes. Eyeliners, curly eyelashes and even eye brow shaping, are known to make the eyes look bigger. It is highly likely that her eyes look bigger due to non surgical means.

Overall, Jimin does not seem to have undergone any cosmetic surgery. The shape of her face, eyes, nose and mouth have all remained the same. It is nice to observe that she has not succumbed to the pressure and lure of plastic surgery. And at her age of 25, having plastic surgery should only be the last resort. What do you think of Jimin AOA plastic surgery rumors?

Jimin Plastic Surgery BTS Before and After Photos

Did Jimin of BTS Undergo Plastic Surgery?

Jimin, the lead singer of the South Korean pop group, Bangtan Boys, or BTS, is the topic of plastic surgery gossip. As South Korea is well known to be the land where many plastic surgeries are performed, it is no wonder that Jimin has emerged as a plastic surgery gossip target. One of the speculated plastic surgery procedure is a nose job.

jimin-plastic-surgery-rumors-before-and-after-photos

Jimin is born on 13 October 1995 and his official name is Park Jimin. Now still at a young tender age of 21, he has gathered a strong following for his music. With the ever popular Rain as his idol, he practised his dance moves, with his goal of following the footsteps of his idol one day. His debut in BTS in 2013 was the beginning of his meteoric rise to superstardom.

Watch Jimin involved in a variety show 2 years ago:

Compare that to the video below where its taken from Jimin’s selfie cam recently:

Other than his solid vocals, Jimin is also well known for his dance moves that makes those female fans scream so loud. The thing that many of  his fans appreciate is his humility. Despite his busy schedule, he still takes time to read his fans mails. That is rather unheard of in the entertainment industry. Most celebrities will hire staff to go through their mails for them.

jimin-bts-nose-job-rumors

Looking at Jimin before and after pictures, his nose shape has hardly changed. Yes, he does look more macho nowadays, but the basic features of his face has largely remained the same. Though a sharper nose would have made Jimin stand out more, there are no signs of a nose job done.

jimin-age

If you take a closer look, Jimin has also left his eyelids untouched. Some celebrities undergo double eyelid surgery to achieve bigger looking eyes with double eyelids. This does not seem to be the case with Jimin. Till today, his eyes still look natural with no signs of surgical alteration.

Overall, other than this ever changing hair color, Jimin has not undergone any obvious plastic surgery procedure. To be frank, it is hard to find many South Korean celebrities who have not undergone plastic surgery. Jimin is truly a rare find. Maybe because he is still young in his career. Let’s hope that he will never be tempted to follow the footsteps of his predecessors and embark on a plastic surgery spree. What do you think of Jimin plastic surgery rumors?

Here’s a little bit about Harry Connick Jr. He is an American singer, talk show host and actor. Throughout his musical career, he has sold more than 28 million albums in total. That is an amazing feat whichever way you look at it. Along with the feat, he has had 7 Top 20 albums and (check this out!) 10 Number 1 US Jazz albums. Harry Connick Jr holds the record for the most Number 1 Albums than any other artist in the US Jazz Chart History.

Musical achievements were not his only forte. His venture into acting also produced some of the finest performances. His achievements in acting includes roles in blockbusters like Independence Day and Hope Floats (with Sandra Bullock). His versatile acting skills and looks have enabled him to be one of the rare multi-talented artistes in Hollywood today.

His personal life has also been exemplary. His long time marriage of more than 20 years now is a role model for other celebrities to follow. Truly, Harry Connick Jr has set a great example for others to follow. But did he ever undergo plastic surgery?

Watch a young Harry Connick Jr performing:

And compare it to a recent interview Harry Connick Jr had with Jimmy Fallon. What a nice guy Harry is!

Harry Connick Jr and Botox Injections Rumors

Frankly, we did not know where this came from. Looking at Harry Connick Jr’s before and after photos, it is apparent that he has grown slightly more mature. But to say that he used botox seems a bit nonsensical.

Signs of botox use include difficulties in expressions. This is because botox has the side effect of “freezing” a particular part of a user’s face. For Harry Connick Jr, there seems to be no signs of that. Other than a slight gain in double chin and looking more manly, there is no reason for the botox speculations to arise.

Harry Connick Jr and Facelift Rumors

Facelifts are known to remove fine lines and wrinkles in an instant. They are so effective that some celebrities get addicted to it, having mulitple facelifts. Despite its popularity, facelifts are no easy procedures. They require surgery and can be a daunting process to some.

For Harry Connick Jr, though he has few wrinkles at his age, that does not mean that he has had a facelift. In fact, there are no signs of a tight and taut face on Harry at all. He still looks natural and void of any plastic surgeries. And it is important for him to stay natural in case he is cast in acting roles that require much facial expressions.

Overall, Harry Connick Jr plastic surgery border on the ridiculous. Credit must be given to Harry Connick Jr for looking so wrinkle-less after so many years. Maybe jazz music makes a person younger? Well, till the day Harry reveals his secrets of youth in an interview, only he knows. Let’s look forward to the next musical release by Harry Connick Jr shall we? What do you think of Harry Connick Jr plastic surgery rumors?

Robbie Williams Plastic Surgery Before and After Photos

Did Robbie Williams Undergo Plastic Surgery?

Robbie Williams, one superstar who has never been afraid to speak his mind, has admitted to undergoing plastic surgery to keep himself looking fresh. Now age age 42, Robbie Williams might have felt the pressure of growing old and plastic surgery is always a tempting lure. Some of the plastic surgeries he admitted to include facial fillers, Botox and chin reduction surgery. Robbie Williams even joked about the outcome of the plastic surgeries, saying that he can hardly move his forehead!

Robbie Williams made the headlines while he was a member of the pop group Take That in the 1990s. His decision to go solo also yielded much success. His single “Millennium” hit the number one spot in UK and went on to hog the biggest hits lists in various countries around the world. His solo album, I’ve Been Expecting you was a best seller and sold almost 3 million copies in the UK alone and was certified 10x Platinum.

There are no doubts that Robbie Williams is one creative entertainer. Arguably, despite his solo success, much of his fame and glory came via being a part of Take That from 1990-1995. However, his creative strength proved to be too much for other band members, who were apprehensive of accepting this suggested musical experiments. And with the internal conflict at an all time high, Williams left the group in July 1995.

Watch a young Robbie Williams being interviewed back in 2007:

Compare that to a recent interview in 2016:

Robbie Williams and Botox

Though Robbie Williams admitted to botox use, there wasn’t any specific area of application mentioned. Other than saying the obvious clue about his immovable forehead, he left no clues. However, he did mention that his eyes were “droopy”. Williams also had internal battles with self esteem and depression.

He said to Chris Evans on BBC Radio 2, “My brain idles at neuroses and worry and panic.

“The run-up to this album has taken three years and I’ve written 75-plus songs.

“But every time I’ve been into the studio, it’s been under the heavy weight of: ‘You’re coming back, you’re doing an album, this had better be a hit, you’re 42, you’re fat, you’re eyes are droopy, go and write a bigger chorus’.

So that could be a clue that he have had botox to reduce those fine lines around the eyes and the crows feet. Indeed, when you look at his before and after photos, there is a visible reduction of wrinkles on his face.

But he does not look lumpy or unnatural like many other celebrities who used botox. He still looks well balanced and exhibits what botox can really do when used in the right manner and volume.

Robbie Williams and Chin Reduction Surgery

Chin augmentation is used to reshape the chin and enable a more refined look for the patient. Some feel that their chin is overly round and undefined. So they opt to undergo chin surgery to create a sharper chin and sharper look overall.

For Robbie Williams, his after photos show a much more cheeful and confident young man. His chin definitely looks more refined and defined giving him a much more elegant look.

Robbie Williams and Facial Fillers

Facial fillers are used to remove the fine lines and wrinkles that surface when a person reaches 40s. Like Botox, when used in the right places with the right volume, facial fillers can produce deep wonders on the face. However, sometimes the effects do not last long and the patient might need to go for further revisions.

The best piece of advice is to find an experienced plastic surgeon to save yourself the hassle of  revision plastic surgery.

For Robbie Williams, he must have made the perfect choice in selecting his plasic surgeon. His face now looks much younger and less haggard than his  old self. His use of facial fillers can be regarded as a major success. His result is the dream of many other celebrities, having plastic surgery that actually work.

Overall, Robbie Williams has found a way to negate the ill effects of drinking and smoking habits. It must have been a relief to his fans all over the world that his plastic surgeon got things right. We hope that Robbie Williams will continue to provide us with the musical hits and remain healthy and sober always. What do you think of Robbie Williams plastic surgery?
