Is that Ayumi?

0504-ai-yoo-mi2-copy.jpg

“Chubby” star Ayumi is causing a stir with her newly found V-lined face. Although she was nothing close to “chubby” before her major weight loss, Ayumi was known for her baby fat in the star biz, but that’s about to change now. You can hardly detect her cutesy/chubby image in her latest cyworld picture, in fact, she exudes the womanly feel (whatever that is) she wanted so badly for so long. Congrats Ayumi and we look forward to seeing you back on tv.

    Is it just me or…are her eyes really large, almost abnormally so? o_O

  2. 2 parkerlewis May 4, 2007 at 6:43 pm

    did she get surgery? shaved her jaw line? or did she really lose only fat?

    she’s looking good but I think she got surgery.

    wow she looks different… but i still get that cutesy feel from her. yoon eun hye also lost a lot of weight too. she looks gorgeous

  4. 4 Gaek May 4, 2007 at 7:07 pm

    Is she Japanese? I’ve never heard of her.

    Also, Popseoul, do you work in the entertainment industry? How do you get all these photos/info?

  6. 6 silverdeer May 4, 2007 at 9:18 pm

    is this the ayumi from sugar who’s korean is terrible cus she grew up in japan or something.. and she use to be on loveletter and she was in rainbow romance?? if thats her she should go back to her old look! she was so cuteee! she still looks very pretty but i think she looks better and cuter chubbier ^^
    i think her eyes are naturally that big or atleast the ayumi im talking had big eyes when i first saw her on tv…

  7. 7 krnxyuhjah May 4, 2007 at 10:15 pm

    OMYY. she got REALLY pretty. But i still think she looked fine before.

    but wow. how’d she get so thin!?

  8. 8 jess May 4, 2007 at 10:16 pm

    no, i’ve seen old pix of her. she definitely had eye surgery. if you saw the pictures, it’s a huge difference.

  9. 9 Lyna May 4, 2007 at 10:23 pm

    She looked pretty before too… She doesn’t need to lose weight…. But she’s pretty now too so..

  10. 10 Anne May 5, 2007 at 12:31 am

    she’ll still be annoying.

  11. 11 winterscent May 5, 2007 at 2:42 am

    Yes it’s the Ayumi that grew up in Japan and speaks not-so-perfect Korean. Netizens are saying she looks like an SM girl now (she signed with SM Ent recently, the company that manages DBSK, CSJH The Grace, Super Junior etc.). She really does look SMfied. I wonder about the rest of the body though, it’s difficult to lose weight off the face. Hope she isn’t a chopstick now.

  12. 12 parkerlewis May 5, 2007 at 3:36 am

    oooh, that’s why she changed, I forgot she joined SM Ent.

    She was perfect he way she was before.

  13. 13 christianpete May 5, 2007 at 4:13 am

    more than likely ayumi’s new look has more to do with surgery than weight loss….but i have to say, she still is very cute, but now a sexy kind of cute

  14. 14 cstix May 5, 2007 at 4:55 am

    But will the surgery give her the ability to sing orginal songs instead of remakes?

    (Interesting that she’s gone IN to SME, when everyone’s usually going the opposite direction)

  15. 15 esther May 5, 2007 at 10:54 am

    She looks mature now and no, I don’t think she has undergone plastic surgery. Her eyes were big before…

  16. 16 mauwy May 5, 2007 at 2:20 pm

    about her bug eyes.. maybe she uses that contact lenses that can make your eyes bigger.. i heard its a fad among korean/japanese girls.. well am not sure.

  17. 17 mauwy May 5, 2007 at 2:21 pm

    i mean *big* ^^

  18. 18 Terass May 5, 2007 at 7:11 pm

    wow she looks so different~~ i think i like her better before…she looked cuter…but now…she kinda looks….older..o_O’

  19. 19 Vivi May 6, 2007 at 1:26 pm

    Her eyes were definetely big before she loss her’baby fat’. I doubt there’s any plastic surgery involved. I mean, c’mon, loosing a little bit of weight on her face is no biggie. She just looks a bit mroe mature now. ^-^

  20. 20 Vivi May 6, 2007 at 1:26 pm

    *befpre she lost her “baby fat”. xD

    *more

    I can’t type, excuse me. :(

  21. 22 gurl May 6, 2007 at 2:59 pm

    she looked better before.

  22. 23 dust bunny May 6, 2007 at 7:36 pm

    anyone who thinks she hasn’t had surgery is deluded. Have a look at hye bin, gil gon, the girl from old boy etc. etc. I suppose they didn’t have surgery either?

  23. 24 christianpete May 7, 2007 at 2:39 am

    cosmetic surgery is very common in different parts of Asia. So it shouldn’t be surprising if Ahyoomi had some too….But what I love about her more than her looks, is her unique, fun personality. As well as her ability to entertain.

  24. 25 Janice May 7, 2007 at 3:02 pm

    @ dustbunny:the girl from old boy didn’t have surgery by the way and you should check the Jap surgeries.. man are they in WAY denial

  25. 26 dust bunny May 8, 2007 at 4:09 am

    @ Janice
    How do you know she didn’t have surgery? she looks like a completely different person

  26. 27 irees May 19, 2007 at 10:50 am

    hmmm… i don’t think this is surgery. i think her face is just maturing more, and she’s losing her baby fat. but surgery is still possible… probably got her jaws cut?

  27. 28 Hannah Lee June 8, 2007 at 7:28 am

    Yeah.
    She looks sexy now rather than her cutesy image before.

  28. 29 AdY June 27, 2007 at 1:15 pm

    she loos really different
    i also agree she looks better b4
    and i thought she was already REally skinny to begin with?

  29. 30 Janice June 28, 2007 at 10:16 am

    @dustbunny: I said the girl from ‘Old boy’
    There are tons of pictures floating on the net that prove she didn’t. As for Ayumi, she never starred in that film so I dunno wat ur talkin bout..

  30. 31 Susan July 15, 2007 at 12:33 pm

    HAHAHA are you kidding? It’s not weight loss or baby fat… She’s around her 20’s and I think anyone would loose their “baby fat” by then. Also she can’t look like a total different person by loosing weight. So the conclusion is plastic surgery of course! Everyone is too obsessed with their looks. I used to love ayumi b.c of her cute and energenic personality, but now …..

  31. 32 christa July 22, 2007 at 8:26 pm

    it isn’t weight lose i hear..

    since she has got into sm town lee sang moo made her get plastic surgery..

  32. 33 Sei August 3, 2007 at 9:06 am

    I wonder what Lee Soo Man actually does for SM Entertainment other than founding it and making sure his the Celebrities labelled under his company are doing well and looking good

  33. 34 superfly.jooziie August 15, 2007 at 5:58 pm

    damn why people abcessed about jaw lines so much maybe cause small jaw is more feminine .Or year i read some where that large jaw is sign of high testosterone ,basically testosterone causes jaw to enlarge causing brutish apperance in people especially but i dont get it arent blacks only supposed to have higher testosterone level not asians,but anyway i think these stars suffer from low selfesteem .

  35. 36 e v v y August 18, 2007 at 2:26 am

    Ayumi was nothing close to chubby before anyway. She really didn’t need to lose that much weight. I think it’s due to those annoying, idiotic anti-fans criticizing her – psh, she was already underweight to begin with.

  36. 37 jadee August 20, 2007 at 12:49 pm

    i disagree about loosing baby fat on your cheeks.. ayumi has a long face now.. even if u loose baby fat.. u still will maintain your natural face shape ’round’ .. plus ayumi was not fat before! my face shape never change shape .. even if i get skinner.. i never see my chin become pointier..

  37. 38 samantha August 25, 2007 at 12:41 pm

    i LOVED how Ayumi looked before. she still looks pretty now, of course, but it’s just not the same. *sighh

    to superfly.jooziie:
    what in the world?? O_O whoaaaa there. first of all, Ayumi’s not even Japanese. and second, is that Ayumi Hamasaki? HAHAHA i feel sorry for YOU. people have probably looked at your reply and laughed their heads off.

  38. 39 penguin_x3 August 30, 2007 at 4:51 am

    she’s too cute so that kind of makes it scar, but regardless she’s pretty and perfect for SM

  39. 40 Xtineee. August 31, 2007 at 8:57 pm

    She still looks cuter…only more mature now.

    I still like her.

  40. 41 rOseY September 6, 2007 at 3:29 pm

    i think ayumi looks pretty now compared to being cute … i’ve seen her latest picture in soompi and she looks sophisticated and pretty … i like the new look but i still kinda miss her cutesy cheeks

  41. 42 Chantelle September 15, 2007 at 11:40 am

    she’s a pretty girl.
    It’s just a shame she had to slice off pieces of herself to “improve” what never needed to be improved in the first place.

  42. 43 candiee September 17, 2007 at 8:43 am

    LOL superfly’s comment xD
    ayumi hamasaki is too ugly compared to this one.

  43. 44 Tiffany October 1, 2007 at 12:18 pm

    Didn’t anyone realize how she immediately started losing weight after she joined SM Entertainment? There were discussions online, as well as discussions between a friend of mines and I, about the company. We came to the conclusion that the company is probably another reason why she lost so much weight (in other words, she was considered “chubby”, so she went through a huge weight loss in order to “fit in with the other celebrities).

  44. 45 sandy October 11, 2007 at 3:00 am

    she looks the same to me

  45. 46 XkibumX November 4, 2007 at 3:11 am

    eww surgery she a plastic doll she look ugly now i dont like her annymoore

  46. 47 lofay November 13, 2007 at 1:05 pm

    don’t care what they all say but this is NOT ayumi!!! WTF???

  47. 48 anne November 18, 2007 at 4:23 pm

    i think she’s the prettiest thing ive ever seen in my life

  48. 49 neongreenpeas December 19, 2007 at 12:06 pm

    i saw this awhile back… and at first i thought it was weight loss… but that survey picture comparing here… was some wut in natural.. im not saying it plastic.. but its doesnt look natural.. so i guess maybe there is that chance.. but losing cheeks are hard… i cant picture her wit her some i guess cute accent.. if she still has one…

  49. 50 Michelle January 3, 2008 at 4:36 pm

    shes probabily wearing circle lenses which makes her eyes appear larger..
