Popular "Big 3" K-Pop Idol's Recent Live Triggers Heartbreaking Nose Job Surgery Allegations

In 2024, there was a rise in a new nose surgery trend, which garnered major popularity. The concept of plastic surgery in Korea is a huge topic of debate, especially when it comes to K-Pop idols who are subjected to accusations of visual changes through surgery.

One idol whose recent appearance sparked heartbreak after netizens believed he had work done is TREASURE‘s Haruto.

On February 26, Haruto did a live broadcast for fans.

Yet, while netizens were so happy to see and interact with the idol, many noticed a change in the idol’s nose.

Fans pointed out that before, Haruto had a hooked nose, which he was always confident about, and netizens loved. Yet during the live, they thought his nose looked different, sparking concerns about possible surgery. In particular, considering Haruto’s confidence in the past, they were worried he might have been forced to do it, especially considering K-Pop companies, and specifically YG Entertainment‘s past of making idols have surgery.
