• LE SSERAFIM's Kazuha is defended by netizens from double eyelid surgery allegations

    Netizens are talking about how some Japanese K-pop idols have changed over the years.

    On an online forum forum, a netizen posted a bunch of old photos of K-Pop idols from Japan that were taken before they became famous. The post was called "But many of the Japanese K-pop members had their eyelids done". Some of these idols were Momo from TWICE, Sana from TWICE, and Kazuha from LE SSERAFIM.

    Along with the photos, the netizen who wrote the post wonder "Why do people in Japan hate on some Korean female idols for getting eyelid surgery when many Japanese female idols also get surgery and look very different?".

    The netizen also said that Korean female idols who have double eyelids naturally are often called "Japanese-looking," while real Japanese stars get surgery.

    Netizens said in the comments that they often see Japanese celebrities on Japanese TV who have had double eyelid surgery.

    Other reactions include:

    "I don't know about the other idols, but Sana didn't have anything done to her eyes. During Cheer Up, she was tired in the morning and only had one eyelid, but in the afternoon, she had two again. There is evidence out there"

    "I can't remember what Momo looks like now".

    "I think there are different ideas of what is beautiful. Koreans might think someone is pretty, but Japanese people are more likely to like pretty people with big eyes, so they have double eyelid surgery. I've heard that many of their parents take their elementary school-aged kids to get them done."

    "But I don't believe Kazuha had anything done to her eyes.."

    "Maybe Kazuha just made a small change to her eyes."

    "It's not a crime to get double eyelid surgery"

    "Since they are famous, they can also get plastic surgery. The problem is the people who aren't famous but become obsessed with how they look after seeing those famous people…"

    "Doesn't Kazuha look exactly the same as before?"

    What are youir thoughts?

    On November 22, Jimin was honored with the Fan’s Choice of the Year award at the 2024 MAMA AWARDS JAPAN, held at the Kyocera Dome in Osaka, Japan. This marks a huge milestone in his career, especially considering his ongoing military service.

    Jimin made history as the first solo artist to win the Fan’s Choice of the Year award, a category that BTS had dominated for six years since its debut in 2018.

    In addition to this achievement, Jimin also took home the Fan’s Choice Grand Prize, making him a two-time winner at this year’s awards.

    Although Jimin couldn't attend the ceremony due to his military service, his name was met with loud cheers from fans when announced.

    His incredible win continues to prove his global influence as a solo artist. Jimin had also won Best Male Artist at the 2023 MAMA AWARDS, marking back-to-back wins at the event.

    The MAMA AWARDS praised Jimin for his groundbreaking achievements, saying, “As the first K-pop solo artist to reach 4 billion streams and set the longest-running #1 record for a Korean artist, Jimin has proven his influence as a world-class artist and global pop star.”

    Jimin's win also made him the first solo artist to claim a grand prize at the MAMA AWARDS in 10 years, with his achievement sparking excitement worldwide.

    On X (formerly Twitter), the hashtag “CONGRATULATIONS JIMIN” topped the trends, while “우리지민이상받았네” (Our Jimin Got the Award) reached the #1 spot in Korea.

    Jimin’s ongoing success continues to shine even during his military service. He was also recently named Best K-pop at the 2024 MTV Europe Music Awards and continues to be recognized for his charitable efforts, including a recent donation of 100 million KRW to the National Defense Soldier and Veteran Love Fund.
