Hyori is trying hard to make us believe that her comment about her nose job during SBS’s Platter Karaoke (한가위 쟁반노래방) was a “joke.” When comedian Shin Dong Yup suggested making piggy nose to match the song they were rehearsing, Hyori replied “I can’t because of my plastic nose.” That was aired and within hours, Ms. Hyori retracted her comment and responded “What, people can’t even take a joke?” Obviously, her management company intervened, but Ms. Hyori, we don’t need your words to confirm that you have a plastic nose. The picture speaks for itself.
Pop in:
So you want to look like Hyori…
Hyori is good from far but far from good
Which star hasn’t really had a nose job? The nose speaks for itself.
its not a biggie lol at least she admitted it for a second lol
Oh Hyori did go thru platic surgery, I didn’t know that. I’m surprised. She looks so different!!!
Popseoul are you PMSing? First, you talk shit about Hyori, than you praise her for every little thing she does, then you talk shit about her again. Or maybe there are just writers who hate/love Hyori? Lmao. She obviously got her nose done, and probably other things, but who doesn’t nowadays? It’s scary when you think about it.
That’s really her in the first picture? She looks so different! She used to be chubby?
actually her nose still looks the same it is just that she lost some of that cubbiness in her face.
the nose looks the same to me…
Looks the same to me.
seems like there’s a little difference… just a little…
like the ddifference between being 18 and 25 years old?
I also think it look the same, she just lost the weight and the face’s getting slimmer.
Yeah, I thought she looks prettier because she lost her chubbiness. But if she really did surgery, I guess the change is kind of minor, her original nose was alright, she just made it higher, sharper… DUH~
“I can’t because of my plastic nose.”
Real or not, it was just a bad joke on her part. I wouldn’t find it funny.
So Popseoul, the picture does not speak for itself. A medical document would speak for itself…not people on the internet looking at pixels on a jpeg.
Well at least we know it was her decision to come out with it. Her manager was probably the one that made her take it back.
This is the kind of Hyori I like, not the sex appeal crazed one she is put out to be. For her admitting that as a celeb is pretty brave.
People say that it was a joke because if you watch it, people have taken screencaps of her being able to do the pig nose. So maybe it was a joke taken seriously.
-sLaVe
she had a bigger nose when she was younger, but it doesn’t look that bad so i there was no real need for the nose job imo… but oh well she chose to do it. she was really pretty even then.
She’s in show business of course it’s fake.
i think every female celeb has had a nose job except for kim tae hee and kim hee sun. maybe song hye kyo, but im not sure. hyori? definitely. i noticed the sligt uplift of the end of her nose and the tallness of it after her beginning finkl days. and the bigger double eyelids. but i think she did a good job with the nose. a lot of celebrities do a little too much so they look fake (aka park shi yeon) but hyori’s nose can fool some people who have not seen her in her beginning finkl days.
also, at ppl saying she just lost weight…lol. you can lose weight on your face, but guys, its just not possible to lose weight on your nose!! lmao. nose is made of bone, not fat, you know. i mean hyori fans, defend something that is REASONABLE.
yeah that was a bad move and a bad joke.
she shouldn’t have been joking about it anyways even if she didn’t do her nose.
shes trying to hard to be 털털해 these days.
don’t get me wrong i still like her but im losing interest.
i think it looks the same..O____O she just lost weight..people change a lot when they lose weight..-.-
Sweetgirl - I agree with you. there are many times where possible surgery rumors can be outruled with the case of loosing weight. for instance, BoA. But like you said, you definitely can lose weight on your nose, especially not the tip. It’s just tissue and cartilage.
-sLaVe
her nose was ok, now her eyes, THATS what she shoulda had fixed. kakkaka so mean X__X
sweetgirl: “nose is made of bone, not fat, you know..”
Actually, it’s made out of cartilage. But that’s beside the point…
I don’t find Hyori that great, ok she’s not ugly (thanks to plastic surgeries) but she’s not “that hot”!!
if its just based on those pictures, i would say i dont know..
its quite obvious that the first picture was a bit stretched, it wasnt taken on the same angle, and the lighting
Eh.
so much irony here. admit a fake nose and it hurts your image. your fake nose IS part of your image. “don’t ask don’t tell”. she breached the silent consensus there, just for a minute.
a picture says a thousand words and it says hyori has done her eyes, her nose and others. haahaa thats why she has making her nose like that - pig nose and plastic nose.
It’s a KBS show not SBS.
I seriously thought she was a nature beauty
it’s no surprise some artists have done surgery, but i honestly can’t see much of a difference on those pictures :$. i guess i’m just blind -___-’
I don’t know if she had a nose job (or any other job, for that matter), but it honestly doesn’t lower anyone in my book if they had plastic surgery. This is unrelated to Hyori, but geez, someone being a natural beauty doesn’t make them a better person or anything; it just means that she got lucky to be born with the right set of genetics. Personally, I believe that everyone has the right to change things about them that they don’t like. Plastic surgery to fix a nose is like getting braces to fix crooked teeth to me, on a more risky and expensive level. I don’t see how people get all worked up over it. *end rant*
But yeah, Hyori’s nose does look like it’s changed a bit over time. Natural aging, weight loss, or plastic surgery, it honestly doesn’t matter to me.
omg. the picture DOES speak for itself.
She just looks bigger in the first one. The only difference I see is weight loss. Her nose basically looks the same.
it looks the same … if i took a picture of my nose at a completely different angle and like 10 years back…im sure my nose would look a lot different as well.
so what happens after 30 years…her nose is going to look all nice and fake while her face is all wrinkly. weird.
her nose is plastic indeed! check out the bridge of her nose…
i think she looks the same. just that she lost a lot of weight. u know when u lose weight, u look different too. i can’t really see the huge difference, but she looks good anyways so who cares. even if she did, all celebrities did.
hello?? this is a site about gossips and news. who cares if popseoul say bad things about someone… it’s all for entertainment.. these celebrities exspect some talking from regular people ok?
Agree with ed. Even though everyone knows it couldn’t be real, plenty of celebs have to lie in order to keep the illusion that celebrities are born perfect. It’s a balance of talent and appearance, whatever’s lacking they have to make up for it somehow. What I don’t really get is the fans who buy into the illusion and even defend the lie.
i think thats her real nose… she was younger then, therefore her facial features weren’t really defined… i believe babies are all born with round nose, then growing up it changes… my nose doesn’t even look the same then 4 years ago, so don’t jump to conclusions..
it looks the same to me. She’s still hot.
why are people soooooo obsessed with plastic surgery and celebrities? the way people are analyzing her nose in this thread alone is extremely sad. is a play-by-play analysis really necessary? what for? she looks fine in both pics, and is she really that fat in the old one? this is exactly why so many women (and some men) have eating disorders. she’s NOT fat in the old pic. the criticisms just help to promote self-hate. i realize this is a gossip column, but still, it’s sad nonetheless what people do say.
It’s a world of hypocrisy. Popseoul is cynical towards the superficial and yet this blog is superficial itself. People will drool over the members of Super Junior for looking good despite having no artistic substance…and yet when it comes to Hyori, it’s ok to call her a slut when she’s the same thing as Super Junior.
Regardless, sites like this is a waste of time and the comments made are a way to kill time.
come on, ppl. there are only a few celebs who are honest. most of them deceive fans and people. entertainment world is a world of deception. alas! just to be famous and then plump. let them lie and lie and lie. they are fooling us but most of all fooling themselves.
hyori is one celeb who is very, very, very dishonest. if she fools herself to say she’s natural, she’s a fool living in a foolish world.
i honestly dont think its a nose job… her nose looks the same to me.. except her face used to b chubby..perhaps thats why she looks different.. not b/c of the nose. Besides…we can’t really tell if its fake..cuz the first pic ..her face is at an angle.
someone who sees her up close said she’s got really purple gums. isn’t the gums suppose to be pinkish? did her teeth been fixed, too?
in her old picture, she is very korean. in the 2nd pic, she looks like a malaysian or that of a malay descent. so all the plastic surgeries help her to become another asian race. why is having chinky eyes and large noses, typical of a korean, not unacceptable in korea. a korean not liking to look korean? that’s a paradox, yeah?
her nose looks the same to me…
I watched the show. I believe she was joking.
Here are two good pictures of her at a young age:

http://img412.imageshack.us/img412/1328/113254539tg.jpg
Looks the same.
who cares? fake or real, she’s still pretty.
“most of them deceive fans and people. entertainment world is a world of deception.”
I completely agree.
Plastic nose aside, that joke wasn’t funny.
Wow, what a difference there is in the two images. How old was she in the one to the left?
yeah i see the big difference in her nose its pretty obvious that shes had some p.surgeries done.For people who say that its just the weight loss,you cant really change your nose by losing weight.Then the person who corrected someone about the bone..isnt your upper part of nose made out of bone? then people who said something about ageing: In the first pic shes like 14 i guess (i dont know) and your nose cant totally change in 10 years when youre 14 already. I think when youre 14 in 10 years youll look the same but just older (same nose, same mouth, maybe eyes can change a bit).. But she was pretty and is pretty anyways so who cares?
hyori got a nose job? wah. i did not know that.
rocketfuel, your right but its the diff between being 18(or less) and 28…. yea and agree, who cares shes pretty with or without surgery… popseoul really needs to lose this anti-hyori attitude…
nah man you gotta flame this ho as much as possible. she too widespread
I know why Koreans do plastic surgeries ,it’s because they envy us white people.We whites are one pretty amazing race ,should i say superior.I mean who likes pig like nose ,i dont ,its freaking ugly.I guess us whites are most advanced humans ,rest are just apes .Wide flat nose is ape or chimpanzee like trait very primitive and ugly .
The nose of her bridge is different. I wouldn’t be surprised if she got surgery though, American celebrities get plastic surgery to maintain their popularity all the time. Korean fans tend to be more obsessive regarding this topic.
HYORI WAS JOKING AS SHE SAID BECAUSE SHE HAS ALWAYS BEEN PRETTY. THAT PHOTO ON THE LEFT IS JUST A BAD PHOTO. YOU CAN FIND BAD PHOTOS OF JUST ABOUT ANYBODY AND SAY THEY FIXED THIS AND THAT. =T
JASMINE: WHOEVER SAID ALL KOREANS HAVE CHINKY EYES AND FLAT PIG NOSES?? HYORI LOOK NOTHING LIKE A MALAYSIAN DECENT. WHAT CUZ SHE GOT DARK SKIN?? HEY THERE ARE LOTS OF BEAUTIFUL KOREANS OUT THERE WITH NATURALLY BEAUTIFUL EYES AND NOSE. HYORI IS ONE OF THEM.
TONY— IT’S MAINLY JUST THE CELEBRITIES THAT OPT FOR PLASTIC SURGERY JUST LIKE HOLLYWOOD CELEBS.
tony - uh wow, superior race? then why’re you here reading news from us inferior creatures?
also. if you’re white, freaking improve on your english.
tony, what the hell… you dont like asians, why are you here? superior, but cant even speak your own language properly?
that was just a bad decision on her part. whatever, everyone had some type of surgery. that’s the korean business.
Tony, you can go suck it. seriously. suck it.
@ jasmine:
What does a “very korean” or a “malaysian person look like? Well, according to your comment (which is rather difficult to interpret due to your atrocious grammar), most Koreans must have “chinky eyes and large noses” a rather interesting comment considering Malaysian people are also hardly exempt from that exact stereotype of “chinky” eyes and “large noses.”
I have also yet to hear Hyolee looks “Malaysian” in any aspect beyond her tanned skin - in any case, if Hyolee DOES look Malaysian, the comparison is certainly doing the average Malaysian girl (indeed ANY ASIAN girl) a rather generous favor for which you should grateful in spite of your superiority complex towards other Asians.
Your blatant racism towards other Asians is more pathetic than your godforsaken English.
*****
Speaking of paradoxes, here’s a great one:
“why is having chinky eyes and large noses, typical of a korean, not unacceptable in korea. a korean not liking to look korean? that’s a paradox, yeah?”
I assume you meant “looking Korean” is “unacceptable” in Korea - but what you actually said is “chinky eyes and large noses…[is]…not UNacceptable in korea.” More of a complement than an insult I’d say.
Or perhaps you just don’t have a clear idea of what the word ‘paradox’ means even though you use the word, which is very understandable taking into account how little your grasp English is to begin with…and that would be a real paradox wouldn’t it?
As for Tony, his comment is hardly worth analyzing.
**
Hyolee lost a weight for certain…but I’m in inclined to believe she’s probably subtly “refined” her features over the years as well. Subtle refinement is a ubiquitous feature of the entertainment world, Angelina Jolie to Utada have all done it to varying degrees and to criticize one without criticizing the entire entertainment world and all the people in it seems hypocritical.
The point being they all look lovely now and who can say no to eye-candy?
What a difference a nose makes! She’s had more than her nose done….Oh well, then end result is very pretty!
Tony? he’s probably Asian using reverse psychology as to why Asian people do surgery…which in his case is to look white.
tony, does your “amazing race” also include white muslims, down syndrome whites, bible belt sibling-lovers, tongue speaking white fundies, white deathrow inmates, white trailer home singles hiding meth habit, skinny white youths writing fanzines for their local neonazi chapter, etc etc? embrace all of your own kind first will ya? it makes the new god’s army ganging up on ugly asian apes MUCH easier!
This TONY guy sounds like someone with bad english…probably Chinese or Japanese trying to upset a Korean audience.
Relax and pay no attention to “him.”
pigbar, you’re just as bad as him. shame on you.
No I am not. SHame on you.
Honestly, I don’t understand why every time there’s a race argument people’s got to bring religion into it. There are plenty of believers with the same beliefs of different races all over the world. Eh, I digress. Things tend to get ugly when plastic surgery topics are involved. (pun not intended)
The thing about those pretty plastic surgery eye-candies: It’s shallow. People are getting made like plastic barbie dolls from the same old plastic surgery molds. Beautiful perfect shells. Uh… I don’t know about Korea, but the world would be pretty sad and pathetic if everyone thinks living and idolizing a plastic barbie world is “okay”.
i don’t care if she has all those surgeries. it’s her money anyway. if all those plastics make her happy, let her enjoy. but she isn’t that superbly pretty given all those plastics. well, plastics can have its limitation.
my apology, my grammar is wrong. he he he. sf seems to be a good english writer.
but, well, i still find hyori more a malay than korean. not only her skin, but her entire face. you dont think so? if not, then here’s another, a cambodian, or a netizen of myanmar? take your pick. can’t be chinese or japanese or mongolian coz she’s dark and has big eyes.
She was just kidding…
Wow people cant tell the difference between a joke and a serious comment.
Why dont you post the pictures of hyori pulling her nose up??
¬¬ ppl on this site obssessing about hu done this and hu said that man ohh man, if you aint gna say anything nice about them leave them be,,Hyori might look diff coz of weigtht lost like ji hoon she still gorg nevertheless
Seriously, whoever who can’t see that she’s had a nose job is clearly blind. I don’t get why Asian fans can’t accept that their idol has surgery..it’s not that bad of a thing.
She’s ugly who would want her anyway.Even with all cosmetic surgeryes she’s not pretty.I dont get it ,why Koreans think she’s pretty.She is flat ,has no ass and they think she has curves.She looks like a tranny to me,and please Hyories fans dont defend her.I mean look at her face ,doesn’t she look like man.She is ugly period .

i think you are grossly stereotyping and generalizing there. not all malays/cambodians have dark skin or big eyes. not all koreans have light skin or little eyes. have you seen natural beauties kim tae hee and kim hee sun? they have huge eyes, and they have not had any plastic surgery and yes, they are full korean (even though they’re bad at acting, they’re famous b/c they didnt get plastic surgery). also, hyori’s eyes are not that big. in fact, she is the first female celebrity (i think) who got very famous even though she has small eyes (see pics of her smiling with her famous “small smiling eyes”). now, ppl, dont hate on me. there is nothing wrong with small eyes. yeah, hyori may get tans, but dont nearly everyone today do that? so what, all these white girls at my school who get crazy tans at tanning beds are now “malay/cambodian”? please. stop stereotyping.
AT trump
i agree with you. i wouldnt call her ugly; she’s pretty, but shes not THAT pretty. i’d say she’s okay. she has some really nice studio pics, if you’ve seen them. maybe that’s why some ppl believe she’s the “most sexiest star” in korea. ehh. whatever.
hahahahhaha!!! damn!!! this is halarious! this is freakin evidence to show that she is just as fake as any other celebs out there. I dont know why all this talk about “she’s perfect, so beautiful, nothing fake, etc.” is all about. get real people.
Tony: your just a littl fagget who is just jealous of us re Asians who are smarter, better looking, and make way more money than you white crackers(dont mean to go all racist)…I mean the car you probably driving right now was imported from some Asian country. Where do you think you get all your shit from?
Trump: i so agree with you..i dont know why people call our hella sexy or any of that when really she isn’t. I wouldnt call her ugly though because i know i aint as pretty as her but damn she aint as good looking as other korean female celebs. i think its all the airbrush that’s gotten people thinkin she’s the shit
I dont know if its true about cosmetic surgery,but all i heard is that she was joking.She said later that she was just jokin.
you’re either
1)a pathetic white dude who is pissed off that some smart asian person has taken your job and is earning thousands or dollars while you sit on your jealous ass reading posts on popseoul.
or
2) a pathetic asian dude with inferiority complex who is living in a dream world where he thinks he is white and is rejecting his asian-ness.
lol… it would’ve been better if she just didnt say it was a joke. i thot it was cute that she said that… ahhaa…
Actually, after she said that she “got a nose job”, Hyori DID do the piggy nose.
now I can’t answer if she has had plastic surgery i’m not exactly good in that department. If she has then I’m going to say it wasn’t a big change maybe just made it smaller. for me though my nose actually lengthened and got higher as I grew older and slimmed down. Not a lot but enough to notice that it has changed throughout the years. Now I can honestly say I haven’t had work down on my nose so that COULD be what is happening with hyori but I can’t say for sure.
its the same!!!! ang tatanga nyo naman tumingin!!!!!
thats just one picture. . you cant judge her on that .. people can grow and the bridge of their noses grows taller
I’m just wondering… What would be the percentage of plastic surgeries being performed on Korean females (including as little as a double eyelids)?
I know this won’t be very scientific surveys, but I’d just like to know how a general public thinks about it. From what I hear, I’m guessing about 80% of Korean females do get some sort of plastic jobs whether they admit it or not. Is it too much or less?
Is it also true that some parents provide a double eyelid jobs to their own kids as a birthday gift or even encouraged when they’re still young? This is a joke, right???
– A Korean American from Honolulu
hmmm, sometimes you seem to really hate hyori along with other “sexy” concept singers. but these are your opinions and i will respect that, however this site should not be entertainment and style news because it’s all biased and based on your own likes and dislikes. why oh why cant you write real news. it’s what i look for because i’m so in love with korean entertainment. and you are only getting worse over time with your comments. whether a person is “unattractive” “had plastic surgery” “not the greatest voice” “best dresser” etc etc etc, should not matter.
i’m not a big hyori fan because her music is not to my taste, but that doesn’t mean i avoid her music as i do listen to some however, for her to be in the industry this long compared to other artists that come and go, obviously means she’s doing something right. applaud her for that!
saying every female celeb has had a nose job or some work done is just stupid. it’s funny how non-famous people are allowed to be beautiful without any question. but as soon as someone is on some screen, jealousy comes in and they have to be plastic.
I do think hyori is plastic, only because there is an obvious difference in her nose. but seriously, people need to get over this plastic surgery = korea thing, because it’s a fact that the US is and will always be on top when it comes to plastic and cosmetic surgery.
“…but seriously, people need to get over this plastic surgery = Korea thing…”???
Huh? Are you ashamed of that materialistic and superficial mind set being represented as a big part of Korean cultures?
“…it’s funny how non-famous people are allowed to be beautiful without any question…”
Huh? A plastic surgery only should be performed when there’s a medical attention like a car accident or burn victims to restore their original figures. Any other cosmetic plastic surgeries to alter their original looks should be considered as superficial fakers. Especially, the ones (most Korean chics) who always denied they ever have done a plastic surgery on them (…umm… one day, I just woke up in the morning… umm… I just got these double eye lids… I don’t know how…)
Plastic Beauty = FAKE = Insecure about their own identity
SAD, SAD, SAD.
Hyori is so ugly. I don’t get it. Why do people think she’s hot? She’s old and has an ugly face. She always sounds like she has slime stuck in her throat when she’s singing. She’s….disgusting. What a whore.
yeah, I also think Plastic Surgery is disgusting. And it’s even more disgusting to see people trying to make it a “normal” way of life. It’s immoral!!!!!!! Love yourself for who you are!!! Stop being attached to temporary and vain things, like appearance, Korea! It’s not even real!!!
Lies. I’m not a fan of hers, but if you look at her childhood/teenage pictures, her facial structures are still the same.
I dont mind her i think she’s okey but i know that she’s miss plastic too,she’s not free of it.Even my korean students said that she done a lot she’s famous because of her voice. very good singer actually.
Oh.. she was a fat little girl when she was younger.
Even I (prolly) dont weigh as much as she did then and now.
Korean people don’t get plastic surgery to look like Westerners. Most Korean people do not have wide, flat noses with flaring nostrils, but generally just a lower bridge and a rounded end. The Korean nose is therefor more child-like than the Western nose. It’s just a matter of personal aesthetics. Who says Western noses are attractive? Western noses what with their crooks and humps are downright hideous. As many older white men age, their nose grows into a bulbous mass (Clinton for example). Those who make a blanket statement that Asians want to look Western are wrong; it’s equivalent to saying that white people get the humps sawed off their noses to look more Asian, which you know is wrong.
And the bad comments/ “ARTICLES” Just keep coming don’t they. All you ever d is criticize her and again you labeled her a Plastic Fanatic.Just shut the frackers up and Go write something good.
I can’t tell the diffrence lol
She still look pretty ^^
Go Hyori !
theats funny if u think she had a plastic surgery
when she can do a miss piggy
shenyuepop*dot*com/2007/09/29/ lee-hyoris-cosmetic-surgery-co nfession/
read the first comment under the article.
It’s extremely sad and pathetic that people think just because one can see that hyori lee looked similar now from she was younger that she didn’t have plastic surgery….just because she looks recognizable doesn’t mean she didn’t go under the knife..it wouldn’t make sense if she looks completely different from when she 19(unless she got soo much work done)
lol we can see from joan rivers..i could tell what she looked like 30 years ago but that doesn’t mean she didn’t have plastic surgery..and as much as i dont want to say jaejoong too…we can see from his younger photos similiarities but also very big facial features changes i.e. nose, cheekbone, jaw bone so same for hyori lee
