IVE’s Rei has found herself at the center of plastic surgery rumors after a netizen’s post accusing the idol of getting a nose job began circulating online.
On July 8, 2025, a post that accused her of an unnatural nose started gaining traction on an online community forum. The post included recent photos of Rei, comparing them side-by-side with older images to argue that her nose appeared too different from her younger photos.
However, many fans and netizens quickly stepped in to defend the IVE member, stating that her features have remained largely consistent since childhood. Several users began uploading photos of Rei as a child and teen, pointing out that she always had a high nose bridge and similar facial structure.
Rei’s nose was high since she was a baby.
One comment even claimed that her nose was too imperfect to be the result of surgery.
Who gets surgery to have an arrow-shaped nose?
Others criticized the original post for reaching too far, saying that she had even rubbed her nose hard in one scene for a music video.
Despite the initial buzz, the backlash against the plastic surgery accusations appears to be stronger than the claims themselves.
