IU denies that she went under the knife



As IU’s popularity rises, netizens have been digging for past photos and videos of the sweet pop star. In the eyes of many, she looks a lot prettier now, which has led people to make assumptions that she’s gotten plastic surgery.

In an interview, IU was asked whether or not she had done plastic surgery, and she answered, “I didn’t do plastic surgery. I just take care of my skin and get Meridian massages. I’m not lying. I always say that I did not get plastic surgery, but people don’t believe me. When people react that way, I sometimes think to myself that I should go around telling people I did get it.”

She was then asked whether she would ever want to do it in the future, to which she replied, “Since people like me the way I am now, I don’t feel the need for it. I’m using makeup to cover things up.”

She added about her popular style of makeup, “It’s not anything special. I just know what I want to hide with makeup. I always ask my makeup artist to fill in the corner of my eyes. I do it myself sometimes. If you fill it in, then you can be a real IU. My nose is another part of my body I don’t like. It’s very low. But I’m not going to get surgery.”

I guess her fans don’t have anything to worry about. IU is not changing anytime soon.

I think people forget that make-up & hairstyles can easily influence a look. IU's pretty much the same since birth... see flow chart

Just because you don't look as flawless as her does not mean she had plastic surgery.

Js, and I'm not even interested in her.

You know, perhaps they look a little different here and there for some people, but these netizens have absolutely no case against IU, looks 100% natural.

what is filling in the corner of eyes?

like with eyeliner? or that putty that ulzzangs use?

[cherrypark.livejournal.com]

I thinks she means when you fill the corners of your eyes with white eyeliner/white shimmer - it makes your entire eyes look bigger. I do it, too, actually. /a little embarrassed

[djkenz.livejournal.com]

jealous bitchez be jealous.

[floppykpop.livejournal.com]

Come on guys, people's looks change all the time. It's a part of growing up, especially when you're her age. And she doesn't even look that different!

[k0dama.livejournal.com]

I thought she was known for her "average" looks but clearly even as a child she was a looker.

Shes a GODDESS.

[royalantares.livejournal.com]

Lol, what.

Can I just add, that this is indicative of Korea's accusatory nature when it comes to plastic surgery. Sure, many celebrities got something done, but the same can be said elsewhere. There's a pervasive accusatory culture that perpetuates stereotypes and misconceptions. Yes, I'm aware that SK has the highest rate of plastic surgery but that doesn't necessarily mean the stereotypes and misconceptions are warranted.

Her face looks exactly the same in all those pics. What are people on about?

[iznanassi.livejournal.com]

"In the eyes of many, she looks a lot prettier now, which has led people to make assumptions that she’s gotten plastic surgery."
