However, what drew the most attention wasn’t her fashion, but her face. Some fans pointed out that her eyes looked noticeably different from before, particularly her eyelids, which appeared uneven.

  • She definitely botched her double-eyelid surgery.

  • Was the end of her nose always like that or is it the angle.

  • Personally I don’t like faces like hers and Suzy’s. And perhaps it’s because I think one’s figure is important, but she has no boobs or butt, her waist is straight and she has no hips. I really don’t like it. I really don’t know how people find her pretty.

Joy, who debuted with Red Velvet in 2014, has long been praised for her vibrant visuals and cheerful aura. She has also built a strong solo presence through acting and brand endorsements. As public attention remains fixated on her appearance, fans hope the focus will soon return to her talents and achievements rather than speculation over her looks.
