Rising star Kwon Ri Sae (20)  defends herself to the rumors of plastic surgery. 

On January 6th, Kwon Ri Sae's management Key East released a statement that "the make up artist put a lot of make on Ri Sae when was shooting for the spread (above). They claimed that "the photographs were also heavily photoshopped afterwards which must have triggered the plastic surgery rumor."

Kwon Ri Sae had mentioned previously that she is working on losing a lot of weight for her planned debut with a girl group. Her weight loss also seems to have affected the look of her facial structure.

In addition to her girl group debut, Kwon Ri Sae was also chosen to be the face of a Korean bag brand. The advertisement spread that she did for the bag showed her with a more refined facial features which caused the netizens to speculate that she had gotten cosmetic surgery done.
