Red Velvet Wendy’s Viral Plastic Surgery Allegations Spark Heated Reactions

A viral post triggered heated debate.

Red Velvet’s Wendy has become the center of online attention after a viral Pann post comparing her past and present visuals sparked renewed plastic surgery rumors and heated discussion among netizens.

The post, which included photos of Wendy during Red Velvet’s debut era with “Happiness,” quickly became a hot topic and gained more than 41,000 views in a short time.

During “Happiness,” Wendy was known for her sharp features, long brown hair, and her bright eyes. Now, netizens argue a lot has changed.

Wendy used to be so pretty when she first debuted.

Why does her face look so different now…? I took this screenshot from TikTok. She kind of looked like Lee Yeonhee — she was seriously beautiful. I still remember watching Happiness back in the day and being totally shocked by how pretty Wendy was.

Other than her eyebrows changing, I can’t really tell what else is different… What could it be?

The post quickly sparked heated debate. Many comments pushed back against the idea that only minor changes were made. Some also brought up Wendy’s horrific accident that happened back in 2019 during rehearsals for the SBS Gayo Daejeon.

The Red Velvet star suffered serious injuries, including a fractured pelvis, wrist, and cheekbone. As a result, some netizens suggest that the changes in her appearance could be partly due to reconstructive surgery following the fall.

Still, many netizens remained critical.

• “Fans really need to stop blaming the accident for everything, lol… It just makes it even more ridiculous.”
• “She had surgery after fracturing her cheekbones in the accident, fact. And she kept getting procedures done afterward, also a fact.”
• “Saying ‘I can’t tell except for the eyebrows‘… do you have eye problems or are you just trying to make Wendy look bad? Anyone can see she got plastic surgery.”
• “Of course, her looks changed. She had plastic surgery.”
• “Her face got totally messed up from the accident at Gayo Daejeon, so she ended up getting a lot of work done… If you have time to take screenshots, maybe try Googling it, kid.”
