Shin Hye Sung’s plastic fantastic adventure

10.27 shin2

Female celebs aren’t the only ones vain enough to go under the knife. Many male celebrities share that weakness and Shin Hye Sung is one of them. I’m not sure when his transformation occurred, but it’s apparent from the not so cool hip hop wannabe picture from early Shinhwa days that this balladeer did in fact go under the knife. The new double eye lids made Shin Hye Sung look friendlier and more approachable, but they also made him look a lot older with excessive number of eye wrinkles. But I gotta give Shin credit for keeping his new eyes a low profile, until now. Was Shin Hye Sung’s transformation necessary?

1) Yes – he looks so much better!

    I think he looks better after having gone under the knife, but he seriously needs to lose the wrinkles around his eyes. That’s just…ewww. lol Isn’t he too young to be having wrinkles there just yet?

    OMO! Shin Hyesung. Hmm what can I say. I honestly dont care if he had plastic or not cos he was already cute to begin with. AND, even if he had plastic surgery, so what? Its just double eyelids. Its his responsibility to look good and cute in the first place. Or how else is Shinhwa going to be so famous? Entertainers live by their FACE and of course, talent(which can be found anywhere), must be better than ordinary ppl. Thats what seperates entertainers from, well you know, ordinary people.

    I guess it cant be help. I thought he look better in the first one but the second does not look bad at all.

    Aish, I am personally a Shinhwa fan too and I think you really chose the wrong person to pick on this time.

    Like just about every other person up there has said, HyeSung looks fine the way he is and even if somehow he had gone under the knife I’m sure it’s no big deal.

    Tsk!

    “Kangta’s hair” my ass. That hair was popular during Kangta’s period, but he sure as hell didn’t start it. The makeup in the first picture is hideous, and the second picture is just a bad picture of him. And you do get wrinkles when you age, ever thought of that?

    It seems like double eyelids are a must huh with the celebs in Korea??!

    Well after this piece of news I like SHS with double eyelids better! He looked so weird in the first pic! Tho I love Shinhwa, I never reli into SHS so he had surgery? FIne with me…

    Popseoul i think you need to use better pic to make a comparison. The time frame difference is about 10 years and wrinkles are bound to show up. About the double eyelid surgery, if you look at his previous pics you will see he has always had them.

    wow…so it’s true…it’s not low profile cuz i remember the rumors flying around about this a oouple of years ago on a Shinhwa forum

    i believe that everyone in showbizness in korea have their plastic surgery, some stars they hide it pretty well, but easy enough that you can tell the difference.but who cares the most important is their character. its fashion in america why not there(korea) if you can afford to do it why not, just to boost your self steem. nobody’s perfect in this world ,dont criticize others just because you dont like it, if you don’t have anything better to say’ don’t say anything at all. and maybe look twice in the mirror you might be surprise what you gonna see.no plastic with plastic i like them.

    when we are getting older and older, eye wrinkles are coming up, it is normal.

  16. 17 GG Suxs January 13, 2008 at 6:09 am

    How do you know he didn’t develop them over time?? If he had plastic surgery, wouldn’t he have other things done as well? I developed my double eyelids as I grew up. Although I only fully have mine on one eye and the other is still growing.

  17. 18 Hayley January 14, 2008 at 8:53 pm

    no matter wat hyesung had a surgery or not, I have np ab that ^^
    To me, having a surgery to have a better look is a normal and acceptable thing, not a big thing
    watver, if hyesung did have a surgery so who cares as it was too small
    anw I still always love him~ :X:X:X:X Hyesung is the best!

    Wthr is single and double eyeslid.
    (i like both)

    For those do not make a balance of both eyeslid (single and double) .. y not try to have a surgery.
    Mayb u dun like to dress up and tis doesnt other ppl is not.
    Even to ppl do not hv inbalance eyeslid…u noe hw much they spent for makeup (eyesliner, eyelashes, glue, sticker)

    Even ppl lost confident..

    Actualy not ned curse ppl wat.
    If u dun like then ignore lor. Why want so rude.
    If u hv money, u can choose do anythin u like even a dimple creation, breast, lip and so forth.

    Dun hv money then save lor and find a better one.
    Mayb currently u hv a better one and life but sum ppl not.
    Cheerz!

    why do most koreans get their eyelid done? are all koreans dont have double eyelid? hahaahha. that’s weird. i think its on the genes. hahahaha. o well. i love koreans though. by “koreans” i mean the hot actors.hehehe. i dont care about the actresses, they all seem cheap, since they always want to be on top of each other in who shows the most skin. haiyah. also, those women’s dances are not very appealing. Their dances are more on the “seducing ugly men” side.hahaha.
    i love lee seung gi, son ho young, dongwan, minwoo, andy, hyesung and gong yoo of course!
    i hate hate hate hate eric. i dont really understand why so many people love him. he’s not handsome, he cant act and dang yeah he cant sing. he rap. mbolaso.

    Shinwahs still dope, SHS is still dope

    Go on and get pretty with the knife, who cares? As long as yur happy..

  21. 22 smilingsky March 16, 2008 at 1:32 pm

    No wonder why I thought he looks prettier & more attractive ^^
    Still scared to think about how he,and other people had to go under plastic surgeries!
    Anyway, I think as long as it makes the person happy (more confident about their appearance) & doesn’t hurt anyone else(it must have been quite painful & strange at 1st b4 one gets used to one’s new look!), is one’s own right to make his/her decision about what to do with themselves, isn’t it? If it was Ur intention to to make an argument against plastic surgery, U could have made an better argument. If it’s just Ur personal disfavor toward Shin Hye-sung, could U be more respectful & consider how U Urself would feel if U heard someone make illogically attack like this? I’d feel ridiculous & pitiful for those who are so NOT confident about themselves that hatred & “funny” criticism grow in them & make them want to hurt others…

    Wish Ur love & confidence!!

    it is not just his eyelid surgery but look at his cheeks and face all around is so puffy. he looks like that fashion guy cujo. STOP WITH ALL THE SURGERY. YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL THE WAY YOU ARE BORN.
    p.s.: the majority of humans are asians (over 4 billion) so the whole thing about eyelid surgery to fit in is a stupid lie. they just want to look more white that is why they have nose surgery done as well. to me there is nothing more beautiful than a natural asian (specifically korean men). stop letting hollywood tell you what is beautiful and look in the mirror because that is who you have to live with, that is the person who will be there and love you all your life not some celebrity, casting director or magazine editor that you will never meet. lets move forward and do what dr. king says “judge not by the color of skin but by the context of character”

    yea, i can see how he looks friendlier and more approachable. But before i think he looked more mysterious. now he’s just a run-of-the-mill celeb to me. No distinguishing characteristics. it’s kinda sad really >.<

  24. 25 Stacy April 18, 2008 at 8:50 am

    he looked like golum before

  25. 26 trinitylen September 2, 2008 at 5:11 am

    This is a bit late. I Never notice. But that was His personal Choice.
    I LOVED HIM THEN AND I LOVE HIM NOW AND WILL CONTINUE TO LOVE HIM ALWAYS.
