TWICE’s Jihyo has once again found herself at the center of online speculation after recent photos sparked debate over whether her appearance has changed.
The singer has recently been the subject of rumors surrounding an alleged transformation in her facial features.
In particular, some netizens have focused on Jihyo’s nose, claiming that the distinctive bump that has long been part of her recognizable side profile appears less noticeable in newer photos.
On September 10, Jihyo attended the opening of the Helinox Wear flagship store, where she posed for photos and was captured by fans and members of the media. Several images shared by one of her fansites quickly attracted attention online, with netizens discussing her appearance and speculating about what may have changed.
Some commenters went as far as saying that Jihyo looked “unrecognizable,” while others interpreted the apparent difference as possible evidence that she had undergone a cosmetic procedure.
However, many fans pushed back against the speculation, arguing that Jihyo still looks like herself and that differences in makeup, styling, lighting, camera angles, or photography can significantly affect how a person appears in photos. Others simply emphasized that Jihyo looks beautiful regardless of whether her appearance has changed.
