Popular HYBE Idol’s Alleged “Nose Job” Sparks Heated Debate

A recent post about TWS member Dohoon has gone viral on Korean forum Pann, amassing over 45,000 views in just a short time.

The post, titled “Look at this… did Dohoon get a nose job?”, has sparked widespread debate among fans and netizens alike, with opinions divided over whether the HYBE idol has recently undergone plastic surgery.

The original poster pointed out what appeared to be a visible incision line on Dohoon’s nose in a high-resolution performance video, claiming that it looked like the result of a cosmetic procedure. They explained that while watching the video on PC to capture a screenshot, the alleged scar was noticeable, prompting speculation.

I was watching the video on my PC to screenshot it because I really liked his styling for the follow-up song… But you can clearly see an incision line. Did he get something done on his nose??

However, not everyone is convinced. Many netizens were quick to defend the idol, arguing that the line in question is likely just a shadow or a natural feature of his nose. Dohoon, known for his slightly crooked nose with a noticeable bump, has previously shown the same features in pre-debut photos, which some commenters used as proof that no surgery had taken place.

Despite the explanations, debate continues. Some fans are frustrated with what they see as baseless speculation, while others believe the clarity of recent 4K footage raises questions. With the post continuing to trend, Dohoon’s appearance remains a hot topic across Korean forums.

• “Looks like he did.”
• “So many people here don’t know what they’re talking about. That’s just a shadow from his nose tip and nostrils hanging lower. Dohoon has a crooked, hooked nose — who gets a nose job like that? lol. If you look at his school photos, his nose is the same. His bump really changes how it looks depending on the angle.”
• “Who even gets their nose done like that? lol. From the front, it still looks totally crooked.”
• “Seriously, if you look at other photos, it doesn’t look like he did anything.”
• “If you still see the bump on his nose, it probably means he didn’t get anything done. And what looks like an incision is probably just because his nostrils sit lower than the bridge.”
• “All his fans are bringing edited photos and saying he didn’t do anything, but if you watch in 4K on Lucky To Be, you can see everything.”
