Did Kim Ha-neul get fat?

Kimhaneul_0415_1

What happened?

Kim Ha-neul has suddenly grown chipmunk cheeks (right).

At the press conference for her action flick, “Secret Couple” (‘7급공무원’) on April 14th, Kim Haneul revealed a fuller face after a year out of the spotlight.  Although winter is over, her cheeks are packing something.

Netizens are already speculating that the star has received botox injections. However, Kim Haneul’s people insist that she just gained weight.  Uh huh.

    i thought that was just a bad angle of some randome 30-something year old ajummah…

    Bad angle..and she might have gotten botox who knows- but she is still skinny as anything. If she’s fat than what do you call normal people? Obese?

    umm, it’s just a bad angle. please don’t go OD on this stuff. it’s just that it’s such a sensitive topic to korean actresses, and you posting this up is not helping. so many suicides because of rumors and criticisms. just…don’t do it. and even if she did gain weight, who cares?

      I agree with you nysophia, Sky is skinny. Because of the photographer is not professional enough to take the right pic at the right angle, that doesn’t mean the person at the other end has anything to do with this. Try to take your own picture at a different angles and you might be able to tell how you look like and the shape of the face and so on. Due to the status of any Asian actresses, bad rumours can caused a lot of grieves and paint that a normal person would never understand. Even they are actresses or actors they are human just like everyone of us. Botox or not it is a person’s choice, each individual’s view of how he or she feel about their own look or try to look better has nothing to do with anyone else :-) I guess the best way is to leave them alone to continue with their job so they can of course keep us entertain with their gifted talents.

    either way- (botox or natural) it’s just weird. why would you WANT fatter cheeks? they look hideous on her.

  10. 11 myoungjae April 16, 2009 at 8:58 am

    umm..thats pure weight gain…not botox…jeez

    either way she still pretty…horrible picture of her tho

    Firt of all, the 2nd camera angle is different; it’s pointing UP and not STRAIGHT FORWARD, which dramatically changes your face shape. Also, her bangs are different. The banks she has no (photo on the right) are bangs that make your face look bigger and rounder. AND in the second pic, her mouth is open, which will obviously make her cheeks bigger.

    The picture on the left wasn’t candid like the one on the right. It looks more professional, and was probably from either a photo shoot or an advertisement…

    bad angle (had badly-angled pic of me taken once where my chin became a double chin but the rest of me was thin) and weight gain (at least better than being like jung ryeo won) and blunt bangs (which rounds the face).

    i think its the angel of the camera that make her look fat. I just see her look older.

  14. 15 kimchi101 April 16, 2009 at 4:29 pm

    WHAT THE.. she looked fine just a few weeks ago :|

    Hey, the actress was on Italian television after her series, On Air, concluded. She was not out of the spotlight-I seem to recall her movie project, Swarkovski appearance and other events kept her in PopSeoul’s line of vision in the past year.

    It was a cold winter in Canada-I would not be surprised if the actress decided to keep warm too by eating good food. Leave her alone. We don’t look so hot sitting at the computers now, do we?

    yeah! she really did. no doubt.
