Many fans have expressed regret over the possible loss of a once-iconic image belonging to a legendary female idol. T-ara’s Eunjung is currently stirring public discussion after uploading a series of new photos, with her appearance quickly becoming a hot topic online.
In the past, Eunjung was widely known for her sharp and angular jawline, often nicknamed “noble jaw” by netizens for the elegant and sophisticated aura she exuded. This distinguishing feature made her beauty stand out as unique and charismatic, setting her apart in a K-pop industry full of idols known for thin, oval, V-line faces.
Recently, however, Eunjung’s jaw line appears noticeably softer and slimmer, approaching the classic V shape. This change has fueled speculation that the newlywed T-ara member may have turned to cosmetic procedures to perfect her appearance. Online discussions are full of hypotheses ranging from facial massage and orthodontic treatment to plastic surgery, Botox injections or simply changes caused by makeup and camera angles.
Despite the speculation, many fans have expressed disappointment, saying that Eunjung seems to have lost the distinctive jawline that once made her stand out, making her look more like others in the entertainment industry. On the other hand, there are also many who maintain that the idol, born in 1988, remains beautiful regardless of the shape of her jaw.
Korean netizens commented, “Most female stars with that kind of jawline end up looking slimmer afterward—I don’t know how she does it,” “She’s always looked beautiful,” “It looks like Eunjung has braces; the shape of her mouth has changed slightly,” “It’s a shame to lose that elegant jawline,” and “The jawlines look different depending on the angle. I’ve seen it happen many times.”
Ham Eunjung, born in 1988, is best known as a member of the legendary girl group T-ara. She began her career as a child actress, building a solid acting foundation before debuting with T-ara in 2009. Within the group, she served at times as leader, lead singer, and rapper, earning praise for her powerful stage presence and ability to pull off a wide range of concepts, from cute to sexy.
Beyond music, Eunjung has enjoyed a successful acting career, appearing in popular dramas such as Dream High (2011), The King of Legend (2011), Endless Love (2014), A Man in a Veil (2020), and Be My Dream Family (2021). She is highly appreciated for her versatility and emotional depth, especially in complex roles. Even after T-ara scaled back group promotions, Eunjung continued to work actively as a solo artist in both music and acting, maintaining her reputation as a multi-talented figure in Korean entertainment.
In her personal life, Eunjung recently married director Kim Byung-woo on November 30. In interviews, he revealed that his mother’s sudden passing profoundly affected his decision to get married. Her mother died unexpectedly while Eunjung was carrying out a program in Vietnam in late 2024, a devastating shock that led her to reevaluate her priorities. The loss of her mother changed her belief that work was the most important thing, leading her to choose to build a welcoming family with her partner, following the path her mother had once shown her.
