Speculations about NewJeans' Haerin having undergone plastic surgery surfaced recently when netizens noticed a significant change in the K-pop idol's appearance. Fans, however, swiftly rose to her defense, attributing her transformed look to makeup and natural maturation.

A web user on a well-known online forum recently sparked a dialogue by highlighting Haerin's new look. Titled, "Re-evaluating assumptions about female idols' plastic surgery after seeing NewJeans Haerin," the post emphasized the transformative potential of makeup.

The author noted, "The shift in her makeup style has significantly altered her vibe. She appears more gorgeous than ever." The post rapidly gained traction, garnering roughly 200k views and over 400 up-votes, with users supporting the "OMG" singer and dispelling the cosmetic surgery rumors.

The conjecture about Haerin's alleged plastic surgery began when web users compared her latest pictures with her pre-debut photos. They pointed out the apparent differences in her eye shape and a seemingly more refined jawline.

One comment read, "Haerin's features have always been distinct. While I'm uncertain about any procedure, changes in her eyes and nose are quite noticeable." Another added, "It's clear that her chin has become more pronounced, but it's ludicrous to assume every idol's face is surgically altered."

However, Bunnies, the term for NewJeans' fans, quickly rushed to Haerin's defense, arguing that her beauty is natural. They attributed the noticeable alterations in Haerin's look to the evolution of her makeup style, transitioning from a fierce, cat-eye style to a softer, puppy-eyed look.

One fan wrote, "She simply looks more enchanting with elaborate makeup." Another fan opined, "Even a slight change in an eyebrow alters the whole impression, so while the post is accurate, Haerin didn't have any plastic surgery in the first place."

Speaking on Haerin's seemingly refined jawline, netizens noted that the 17-year-old idol is still growing, and her physique, including facial features, is naturally maturing.

"All five NewJeans members are stunning in their unique ways, making them more captivating. They're like raw yet beautiful gems," a fan expressed. Another commented, "Of course her facial features would mature after puberty. She's not your typical clinic-modified beauty but rather a true stunner. I'm certain she'll leave a significant mark as she matures. Her beauty is akin to AI's perfection."
