Generally, the after pictures should be better. But in this case, the before pictures look infinitely better. Miss Korea 2008, Nari, should have stuck to au naturale instead of whatever she had done to her face. The 23 year old looks at least 10 plus years older.
Nari just shows us that getting greedy about becoming prettier can sometimes backfire. But now it’s too late. Just imagine if she tried to revert to her original state?
ewwwwwwwwwww
Is that really her before?!! I admit, she looks better now but… still. <_<
she has old looking face even before surgery
Go ahead and flame, she looks cute @ first pic.
It’s only the nose that looks like it got fixed…
And maybe she looks bad because she’s sans-makeup?
why the hell do all korean girls need to do at least once
i can point out so many people looks much better before plastic surgery
she looks so hot in first pic,my gun is ready to explode
I read(from allkop) that the lady who trained Lee Ji Sun for Miss Universe would NOT train Nari cuz she was also shocked that she won.
>_< ouch.
She looked wayyyyyy younger than before plastic surgery
Wow! Koreans are very cruel and nasty!!! All of this hate stuff that people are writing about her is just awlful. You would think folks would be supportive but instead they attack and attack her.
I wonder if it’s that Koreans are so used to seeing stars/models with multiply plastic surgeries they don’t appreciate it when they see someone with just one or no surgery.
She has a cute face. With different makeup, different hairstyle and a sylist who dresses her in clothes that fit her frame, I’m sure she would look even more beautiful than the way she looks now.
lol!!! girl, do you try to cut cost and went to some shady plastic surgeon???? lol… please, since you’re about to represent korea, find the best surgeon on korea a.s.a.p and hopefully we see some changes on you…
I can’t tell the difference…. honestly.
@chuchu
That’s the Korean culture. When they hate you, they will hate you with a passion and sink beneath human standards to attack you with everything they have. But at the same time, when they love you (look at Park Tae-Hwan, the swimmer), they worship you and love you with everything they have. They just show the very extreme ends of the spectrum. Very fascinating culture…
You can read here about the very reason:

ehh…looks almost the same, except with more age & makeup.
she looks cute looks like she only fixed her nose.
i dont see what’s so ugly about her before picture.
she looked like Micky Yoochun with a wig.
damn , she sure looks OLD !!! never knew she was only 23 , she looks like she is in her late twenties going to be thirty something like that
hmm, whoever says she looked better before must be in crack. she’s not too attractive before or after.
apparently even after having a plastic surgery her looks did not enhance at all,her nose is a fakeeey,she looks kinda old like she’s in her 3o’s with 3 kids…ugh she’s fugly
Ajumma looks better after surgery but still *yuk* *yuk*
She’s really cute before and after! Though I must admit I like ‘after’ a bit more.
Yeah, she was actually cute before! It’s too bad…..
I don’t see the difference. And she doesn’t look bad.
i think she wants to say that she’s a natural beauty but the truth is she’s not. Her nose looks totally different and who knows, she probably had her eyes done long time ago
I’m not too sure, either, that she’s all natural in the first photo. The nose is different, but the eyes look suspiciously large, and the face has that cookie-cutter diamond shape which so many entertainers sport after a trip to the plastic surgeon. I noticed earlier that the deep cheek creases caused by smiling also appear on middle-aged people who’ve gotten cheek fillers. Her cheeks are definitely fuller in the second photo. Her original nose was cute. Wish mine looked like that.
hay hay, I have lived around people just like that hahaha. aigo….
Really? The before is better? Were you wearing glasses when you typed this?
Compare to the before, she looks better now.. not prettier, just better. I feel bad for her though. She’s definitely NOT ugly, but not Miss Korea pretty enough.
i’ll take her(before surgery) to my home if no one wants her
good god. can’t people just let this go? yes, she’s average. yes, she got plastic surgery. yes, she’s not as gorgeous as the previous miss koreas. they should look at themselves in the mirror and THENNNNNN decide whether attacking her is appropriate or not. filthy hypocrites.
she should have just stuck with her original face o_O it was much cuter & NATURAL
i used to think k-celebrities all had special good looks, but now i see they just look especially odd because of all that plastic
If you want to do a make-over, do it REALLY good!. Somehow, Nari is still plain looking..not ugly like some of you nasty folks said she is!.
GET A FAWKING LIFE, popseoul!
The writer of this article probably looks like a shemale, that’s why she can’t even post of picture of herself, but enjoys dissing other people who look 10x better than her. I guess it boosts her self-esteem.
The only thing that looks different is the nose… but that can be because of the lighting/angle of the first picture, you can’t really see her nose.
I don’t get why everyone’s assuming every Miss Korea to have had some sort of plastic surgery.
Photos aren’t trustworthy. With that lighting, hairstyle, cute expression, no makeup, accesories, of course she will look different than the picture where she’s wearing makeup, serious expression, different hairstyle, earrings, clothes, etc.
bad lighting, weird angle. SO NOT PLASTIC… sick of these stupid posts..
Why go plastic when you’ve already got the looks?
Who cares? She’s ugly and that’s that!
Okay, maybe we should just assume that everyone is plastic!
When will we ever get over this plastic phase?
she didnt hv any plastic surgery! she’s real, it’s just the make up! look carefully! she’s just like another like sunye [wg] except wonder girls sunye look way sexiier than her!
wow she looked pretty hot before. Before the plastic surgeons gave her the pig nose.
She looks the same to me..It’s just that in the before picture the lighting makes her nose look different, plus it’s a different angle. And she has more makeup in the second picture? Either way she’s ugly.
I’d do her.
again she looks like someone you pass by on the street without a second glance…plastic or not
i thought that the candidates must not have any type of surgery
I’m beginning to feel badly for her. You can’t please everyone it seems.
i don’t get what you all are complaining about. i think she looks pretty in both pictures. i even think she’s prettier than the last Miss Korea 2007, Lee Ji Sun. i mean, that photo up there (which isn’t even that bad) is probably the worst picture that Popseoul could find. here’s a more flattering picture of her in casual wear:
http://i198.photobucket.com/albums/aa217/coollady6/misskorea2.jpg
what’s up with all the hate here? she’s Miss Korea 2008, just let it be.
@Passions,give her to me first
i’ll do her all night long
damn,she’s hot in first pic
i don’t think she did anything to her face. She just got older.
first picture not gud, the second picture’s better. I still not think that both picture came from the same person.
Anyway she’s ok normal below average girl not for Miss Korea. it’s JUST downgrade from Honey lee. the one after and now ugh..
I don’t get what you’re on about - she looks prettier now. That before picture is just damn fugly.
Yeah, for once somebody looks worse after surgery.
she should have hired the plastic surgeon of park min young lol…
not much difference…
i think she removed her eyebags…
still look average
to jackie:
omfg…you not saying that!!!!
micky yoochun definitely wayyy better looking than her!!!!!!
even with his current fashionable-but-make-everyone-wondering-his-sanity hairdo….
Looks like lighting, and camera angle. Her nose looks wider in the first pic which could be from the lighting. She’s not all that bad but everyone wants to pick on her.
I think she’s been having way too much internet bullying because many of you disagree about her winning Miss Korea.
Get realistic, since when did half of you give a fcuk about beauty pageants? Give her a break, she’s still human and has done NOTHING WRONG.
OMG seriously who cares? I am getting tired of SAME korean look. It is so plain now. I mean every damn face looks the same. Nari is different, so what is she won? SHE WON. get it into your heads. So koreans are going to complain until what? Gosh shallow people. Don’t you get tired of a korean with the same damn look as another one? Gosh just accept she won. What are you going to do about it? She didn’t do anything to you anyways. It isn’t even like Miss Korea was going to win anyways in the Miss Universe 2009. Why? Cause some girl from any country in South America ALWAYS has a high chance of winning.
god, i hope this girl is strong. with all this bashing, she might end up like all the other celebs who were constantly harassed and bashed by netizens. (*coughsuicidecough*)
as surprised as i am that she won… just face it, she won. there’s nothing we can do. that is…unless she withdraws but that’s unlikely. *shrugs*
If that’s really her before..then she did a whole lot more than just get a simple makeover..She looks alot different than she did before…Maybe she could’ve cut back on all the extras.

I don’t know why people are making such a big deal about her looks. Most comments I’ve read are so mean and cruel. It’s really uncalled for. I remember people getting so bitter towards SUJU fans when they drove a girl to suicide with their harsh comments. What are all the people on here doing, including PopSeoul!? Will you only repent when this girl dies too? Hypocrites.
she looks like a female version of micky yoochun in the first pic. so yeah.. I don´t think her looks are enough to be a miss korea at all.. she´s kinda just over the average in both before and after pix.
1st pic: pretty average..
2nd pic: she looks older.. but i think it’s because of the makeup… don’t u think?
YES!! i was just about to say that about the picture. She looks INFINITELY better.
Am I missing something here? OK I’m assuming the “after” pic is the one on the right.. she looks way better in that one. how does she look older? the before pic makes a pretty bad comparison because she’s not wearing makeup, you can’t make out her nose because the photo is overexposed, and she has huge bags under her eyes.. if anything, she looks older in the BEFORE pic.. @_@
Huh… sorry but I don’t see the difference ?…
ahhaha.. this is kinda fun…
the more i pay more attention to the pics, the more i’m getting confused too..
hmm.. just leave it..
anyway, which one u guys think is better - left (natural) or right (make-up)?
i prefer the right, with the make-up on….
It really is annoying how so many korean people seem to put waaay too much emphasis on looking pretty. I read an article a while back about how a ridiculous percentage of people in their twenties have had some sort of surgery in Korea. There seems to be almost no shame and it has become too ‘normal’ and acceptable in Korean/ Japanese/ Chinese society! GRRRR. I don’t know what the meaning of ‘beautiful’ is anymore. Everything is a deception.
well~i don’t exactly know which part she’d done to her face. it’s just i think she gain weight~ put different style of make up~and different hair cut~ it`s not plastic i guess~
yeah~! She looks like forty right now!
Well first off, of course she’s going to look younger in the first picture. It’s nice and bright right? The brightness will hide most of her imperfections and fine lines on her face.
she looks the same to me. the picture of the left might look different because it’s one of those webcam pics. remember a few years ago [or maybe it's still going on] where there was a crazy uljjang obsession and all these kids are taking pics of themselves in a way where the light was really bright and their eyes really dark? she had a better expression in the left picture-pursing her lips so that her laugh lines didn’t show. in the picture on the right- her mouth is parted as if she was about to say something- giving her a bit of a fish-face. and it shows off her laughlines. she’s not looking at the camera either. making her face look spiritless. and the chandelier earrings drag her face down.
hm. still the same? i think it’s just the make-up, DUDES.
ok maybe she doesnt deserve the miss korean title since her look is just average. but its sad how people are bashing her like crazy..hope shes strong enough to handle all the bashing lol -_- before and after pretty much look the same, except for the nose. i can see the bridge is higher in the sec pic..so at first, i thought it could be the lighting and makeup but if u pay attention closely, it looks like theres a stick under that nose so it cant be the lighting. lol leave the poor girl alone..like someone said, she aint gona win miss universe! its alwasy one of those countries frm south america anyway.
wow.
What did she get fixed? I don’t really see any difference. She looks older in the second picture just because of her make-up.
Uh, I think it’s just the make-up. I don’t see any difference. o.o
wow dont the judges get a natural beauty to represent korea!?!!
Are you blind? She looks way better.
Her nose looks awkward, but it’s just a photo. Photos can lie, her eyes look beautiful in the second picture. Nice surgery in my opinion.
WTF. Is everyone blind or just stupid? She looks exactly the same in both photos. Just different lighting, and she’s wearing make-up in the 2nd pic, the 1st one is much brighter so you can’t see her features that well. Who the hell writes the articles for popseoul? They’re all so disgustingly cruel and vicious. =/
????
i thought she was around 39 when i saw the picture…
eewwwww
er…she’s looks fine with or without surgery. so what is all this bashing about?
someone tell me which part of her face did she get surgery for?? the only difference for me is the second pic kinda looks older may be of makeup or THE SURGERY.
she is really geting all the hates, poor hope she is coping well, but if she isnt natural then she shouldnt have won the title.
what the hell is everyone complaining about? shes very attractive.
tsk tsk.. why did she have to undergo plastic surgery? she’s already beautiful.. just the nose though.
i think she look nice after surgery
but definitely still look old
I really don’t see the difference aside from the nose
she will not happy with that,trust me
Guys pls try not to be so judgmental.I respect everyone’s opinion but sometimes it is better to keep your mouth shut rather than putting down other people especially a girl.TY^ ^
i would have to agree with most of the people here, I think the before is much cuter ;D
you guys must be on crack. she looks the same and PRETTy. -_- it’s called lighting and makeup.
Whoa Whoa Whoa,
How can people say she looks worse in her after effect? She looks so much better now. Dont flame me its just my opinion.
poor nari. ):
that must suck for her.
i feel really bad for her. but she did look a lot better before.
its just makeup and grooming skills. some of you guys are so ignorant its embarrassing.
i dont get wat ppl r saying the pics still looks the same but its cuz of the lghting and the pose shes doin that makes it different but its kinda sad how many ppl r sayin hurtful things even though theyre trying to STOP how ppl think wat apretty beautiful face is and how a pageant contestant should b geez
