It all boils down to a plastic surgery mishap?
This rumor surfaced on Twitter, po sted by a makeup artist with insider knowledge. She disclosed a story of a 4th-generation girl group member undergoing a nose job gone awry, prompting the delay of the group’s debut as the company patiently awaited the member’s recovery.
Although the rumor about Ahyeon’s alleged plastic surgery circulated as mere rumors, it gained credibility considering her conspicuous absence from public view since July.
Speculations heightened as eagle-eyed fans spotted traces of Ahyeon’s voice, laughter, and hair in TikTok videos post-July, suggesting an unsuccessful plastic surgery attempt.
A leaked video in September captured Ahyeon strolling with a fellow member, but the filming ended abruptly as the person behind the camera claimed to be shooed away by staff. Similar anecdotes surfaced, recounting encounters with the same staff when approaching groups of girls, adding mystery to Ahyeon’s situation.
Notably, some students from Hanlim shared that Ahyeon and another member took a break from studies around late July to early August, aligning with the timeline of Ahyeon’s alleged health issues.
Ahyeon, known for her resemblance to Jennie, showcases a captivating presence akin to the BLACKPINK member. However, her unique visual appeal might not align with the broader tastes of the audience.
YG Entertainment made an announcement earlier this week, revealing that Ahyeon would not be part of the BABYMONSTER debut due to personal reasons.
