Red Velvet’s Wendy has once again become the center of online debate after a recently shared selfie sparked accusations of excessive photo editing, reviving criticism linked to long-standing rumors about plastic surgery.
Over the past year, Wendy has often been the subject of discussion about changes in her appearance, with some netizens speculating about cosmetic procedures. The conversation resumed after he uploaded new photos to his Instagram account, one of which quickly circulated on Korean community forums.
A post on Nate Pann spotted the image with a caption suggesting that Wendy heavily edits her photos. The statement drew mixed reactions, with opinions sharply divided in the comments section. While some users defended the idol, pointing out that photo editing is a common practice among celebrities and that Wendy is widely known for being attractive in person, others were much more critical.
Several comments revisited the past allegations, arguing that the photo editing wasn’t surprising given her history of cosmetic surgery rumors. Others have dismissed the controversy altogether, pointing out that Wendy is a public figure whose true appearance is well known and hardly comparable to the deceptive “catfishing” online.
Amid the heated responses, some netizens pointed out that Wendy looks even better in real life than in the criticized photo, suggesting that the negative reaction says more about the online examination than the image itself. As with many debates over celebrity appearance, the issue continues to divide public opinion, highlighting the intense pressure K-pop idols face over their appearance in the digital age.
