NCT Jungwoo Sparks Debate Over Alleged Nose Job, NCTzens Defend Idol

According to those who agreed:

"Honestly, you have to admit it. If your nose and side view are like that in elementary school, then you're really born with it."

"Regardless of whether it's pretty or not, I think it's because it's a bit unnatural (looking)?"

"I think it has been refined. Slightly."

"I think he did it, but the original version is not bad, so it looks harmonious, but I think he needs to take care of it so that his skin doesn't get tight."

"People who've had plastic surgery will know that he had eye surgery and enhanced his nose a little."

"I didn't mean to swear, but it was ridiculous, so you really think that that nose can come out of Korea naturally? Jungwoo's nose is so bad that even doctors say it's "too much." The original nose isn't angular. There's a bridge, but that nose is obvious to the eyes of those who have a nose that has no choice but to come out with plastic surgery.

That nose can't be changed from a comment photo to a text photo due to simple makeup or growth. Plastic surgery is not a big deal...Right, let's do it exactly. It's a plastic nose, but it's amazing that you insist that it's natural. No matter how much you don't know about plastic surgery, it's true."

On the flip side, NCTzens, fans of the idol took to Jungwoo's defense and insisted that his nose is natural, and it sometimes changes due to the photos' angle and lighting.

"If you look at Jungwoo's bare face, his nose is still slightly bent and the tip of his nose is still round. It's not sharp at all... Not even a pointy nose on a swollen face..."

"He showed you the picture of his trainee years and you say it's surgery. When he showed his high school picture (before his debut) they said it was a surgery. He showed you his middle school picture and people say it's surgery again. He showed you his elementary school picture and people say it's surgery again. Is this discussion any more meaningful when plastic surgeons say they don't know in pictures?"

"Those with ugly noses would think Jungwoo’s nose can’t be real."

"It was not created by doctors, Jungwoo's nose was made by God."

"His height and perfect body proportions give off an innocent first love atmosphere and even his side profile looks like a statue."
