ILLIT Wonhee’s Mature Visual Transformation Hit With Plastic Surgery Allegations
Recently, ILLIT‘s Wonhee was hit with surgery allegations over her recent transformation.
When ILLIT debuted, Wonhee was just 16 and, as a still-growing teenager, had a very cherubic appearance. Many fans affectionately praised her visuals, including her rounded cheeks.
Recently, the idol went live on Weverse, where her recent changes gained attention. When a fan commented on Wonhee’s much slimmer cheeks, Wonhee said she had gotten rid of them.
The clip has since gone viral with over 4.1 million views.

Surprisingly, many netizens saw her slimmed down appearance as an indication of some sort of cosmetic work.

Many came to the idol’s defense, citing the fact that she is growing up and weight loss can produce a similarly dramatic effect.

I know this is crazy for a lot you. There’s this thing called “baby fat”. Aka fat that you have while you’re young. As you grow older, you start losing said baby fat. Which for a lot people means losing fat in their face. Wonhee does not have a new face, she’s just not 15. https://t.co/ixi3fpvg74 pic.twitter.com/BNBAUmcKoU

That sad, many were a bit saddened by Wonhee’s changes regardless of how they came about, particularly as it shows that she is growing up. Many also were hopeful that she was not pressured into losing weight or something similar.
