Lee Young-ji is attracting a lot of attention online after revealing that she recently underwent fat repositioning surgery under her eyes, with many fans later praising her noticeably softer and more refined visuals.
The rapper first became a hot topic last month when she appeared as a guest artist at a concert held by SEVENTEEN members DK and Seungkwan. At the time, Lee Young Ji appeared wearing sunglasses, later explaining directly to fans that she had recently undergone cosmetic surgery.
During the concert, she jokingly clarified the situation by saying she he did not wear sunglasses out of disrespect for his elders and revealed that she had undergone fat repositioning surgery under her eyes just a few days earlier.
The rapper later opened up further via a fan communications platform, honestly admitting, “I actually had eye surgery. I didn’t want people to think I was trying to change too much, so I was hesitant to talk about it.”
Lee Young Ji also explained that she spent four years considering the procedure before finally deciding to go through with it. According to the artist, one of her biggest insecurities was that people constantly asked her if she was tired, even when she felt completely fine.
Since then, fans have paid close attention to its updated look.
Most recently, Lee Young Ji uploaded a casual selfie taken inside a car after fans requested new photos via social media. The image quickly spread online as many netizens noticed her softer facial vibe and more defined features.
In the selfie, the rapper smiled sweetly while making the V sign, showing a calmer and more elegant atmosphere compared to its previous image. Fans especially commented on her brighter eyes and lighter facial lines, saying the procedure gave her a more innocent yet adorable look.
Reactions online have been largely favorable, with many praising Lee Young Ji for openly discussing cosmetic procedures instead of hiding them. Some fans also applauded her honesty about personal insecurities and beauty standards in the entertainment industry.
Known for her confident personality, humor, and outspoken nature, Lee Young Ji has often attracted attention for being refreshingly outspoken compared to many celebrities. Her decision to openly share details about the surgery has once again sparked discussions about cosmetic procedures and self-image in Korean entertainment culture.
Despite the ongoing conversation about her appearance, many fans have pointed out that Lee Young Ji’s greatest appeal still comes from her strong personality, talent, and authenticity rather than simply her visual appearance.
