Hi everyone and thank you for watching this video! Just a quick comment regarding Wendy’s 2019 accident: I am aware of Wendy’s accident (please watch the video all the way through - i mention it in detail!). According to allkpop.com, whose translation is sourced from the Korean tabloid Dispatch, Wendy’s “right pelvis and wrist were broken, and her right cheekbone was cracked. She also has a number of bruises all over her body.” Here is a link to both the original post and the translation: n.news.naver.com/entertain/article/433/0000065701 www.allkpop.com/article/2019/12/dispatch-releases-details-of-wendys-accident Wendy suffered a terrible fall and undoubtedly needed surgery to correct her painful broken bones and fractures. However, I am of the belief that procedures such as her alleged new nose (which appears to have been enhanced with an implant), new eye shape, and fuller lips are unrelated to her accident. Wendy did not undergo serious reconstructive surgery to her nose, lips or eyes; for this reason, I believe that these procedures have likely been performed in tandem with those needed for reconstructive purposes. In the end, whether or not these procedures were or were not functionally necessary, my goal is to open a dialogue about surgery in the industry and its potential impact in the long run. I’m simply bringing these possible changes to light so we can all understand how she achieved her look and discuss it. This is my opinion only, so please feel free to disagree. Wendy is an inspiration, not only for her incredible talent but especially for her courage throughout her both mentally and physically painful recovery. Wendy is beautiful as she is and as she decides to be💙 Thank you!😊

great analysis but don't you think the title sounds inappropriate? "Has she gone TOO FAR?" it's not our place to judge what type and the amount of surgeries a stranger to us gets

Guys, let's not forget Wendy's stage accident. One of the injuries was her broken cheek. That means her face must have been disfigured. Imagine the fear as an individual who is in the spotlight. Whether she had surgeries before, who knows. Truth is, she's always been beautiful. BUT to have your face reconstructed after a serious accident (I've been left with some facial scars after a vehicle accident), it's not easy to go through. She will always have my support as an artist no matter what she looks like 💙

I think it's so strange that people keep saying the ONLY reason her face looks different is because of the 2019 accident and any reconstruction done afterwards. She Clearly had major surgery wayyyyy before the accident. And that's ok! It just makes people look silly to keep blaming all of her changes on the accident.

I agree, she looks completely different now. And no it’s not just the surgery after her fall there’s so many changes

She looks biracial now.. that accident surgery doesnt lead to a double eyelid or new face. But good for her.

She’s unrecognizable. It’s sad she feels she needs to do so much to her face

Seeing this video I realised I should not compare myself to idols

I have never seen wendys pre debut photos but holy crap it doesn't look like the same person at all...if no one told me, I would have never in a million years guessed it was her. I mean there's nothing wrong with it, she looks great either way, but I'm just shocked at the difference in her appearance.

nope, i think you need to update this. she looks completely different now

y'all keep mentioning the stage accident like... yeah and it sucks and was really unfortunate and i hope she has made a full recovery and is very healthy and happy. all her cosmetic procedures are not a result of the surgeries from that accident though. if you compare wendy now to her predebut photos, she looks like a different person. it's not like you have to judge her or hate her for that (i certainly don't. in fact i'm a fan of hers) but it's just very obvious and clear that wendy's face has changed a lot. it's a fact. we as fans SHOULD acknowledge it when we see cosmetic procedures on idols and other celebrities because there are people who can't tell when someone has had cosmetic procedures and a lot of them are kids and never saying anything about it gives them unrealistic expectations for what growing up and getting older looks like. hell, for wendy it can't even be puberty. she was like 20 when she debuted.

Idk why y'all are disliking this video, it's straight-forward and informative. This narration is like the Lorry Hill for kpop.

The only RV member who I'm sure hasn't had plastic surgery is Seulgi, she looks no different from her predebut photo

We can't be denied that her face had changed before she had that accident. after the accident, the plastic surgery was even more gruesome to the point that I didn't recognize her old face anymore. I think she was already beautiful from the happiness era, but it seems she is not satisfied with the shape of her nose and jawline.

A lot of ppl in denial in these comments

i am back to this video bc she looks different again

the list just kept going LMFOAOAO

I’m not a reveluv but this year, her face shocked me. She looks very different for Birthday and Stamp on it. It’s the nose that’s esp sticking out to me

i'm concerned at how much she has changed since the past years. i hope she's okay or finds peace by knowing how amazing she already is ;_;

Whether these type of surgeries help idols feel better or not, i am and always will be amazed at how a person (sometimes younger than 20) can choose to get them this easily & to pursue or while pursuing a career. One of my family members got her nose job at 23 & she thought about it HARD for a full year, felt scared & eventually was traumatized by the procedure (even though successful & risk-free). I can't imagine what goes on through idols' (and many young koreans) heads to do so much so early.

True, her face changed, but her attitude remained the same from the beginning until now. she's always loved for her talent and good attitude. whatever is done to her face is her choice. for real fans this is not a problem and it does not change anything

just a tip: please add years not only to the after photos but to the before photos as well. even though you mention them in the voiceover, it'd be easier to understand the time frame you're talking about

I think her facial fullness could be due to her weight gain. You need to take into consideration that she was extremely thin during red flavour and has gained weight in recent years.

Honestly I LOVED her more downward tipped nose. I feel like it suited her face so much more than the now upturned nose

imo her eye corners have never changed, I see absolutely no difference there; BUT her eyelids have changed soo much. She went from having subtle, natural double eyelids to having thick parallel eyelids. Other than that, the jaw shave + multiple rhinoplasties have made the biggest change in her appearance.

I really love Wendy no matter what she looks like but to be honest I will always miss her debut look, there was something unique and beautiful, a purity and cleanliness about the image, I can't say if it's because she was younger , but sure enough, so many appearance changes have taken away the 2014 Wendy. By far, it's my favorite look

Whatever changes on her look, I still love her. She is still the same person with great attitude and talents who debuted as Red Velvet main vocal in 2014 💙💙💙

after her first jaw surgery i was worried about the maintenance and complications later in life especially since she’s a singer, but this was wayyy before the fall. now there is no telling how it’s going to effect her later in life even with access to the best doctors in the world.

And its changed again this year...poor girl

yall are hilarious for blaming all of these on that stage incident lmao

here 10 months later, i did think this was a recent video tho. This is a very good analysis and very interesting! I came here because in the recent song Chill Kill, I literally didn't recognize Wendy, except when she was smiling and because of her voice. At the end of this video I still recognize Wendy on those photos of 2022, or better said, the association that I have on my mind of her and her face still checks out, but now at mid 2023 I don't anymore... I'm kinda worried about her and her self steem or addiction to the procedures

It’s such a shame, I think she looked perfect in 2016, and just couldn’t stop. The accident seems like it gave an addict an excuse to accelerate her addiction. One of the great blessings of my life is never having been famous, I think.

I hope she had the procedures because she really wanted to do them. I've read some negative comments about red velvet's members' looks in the past, and i can imagine there is a lot of pressure on how an idol looks. I can imagine that some just get these procedures to just lessen the stress of having to look perfect all the time.

This is so crazy. She looks like a completely new person. I wished people would learn and love themselves and recognize others for their talents. Not how they look like.

I'm absolutely SHOCKED! I didn't watch an Red Velvet's MV at sooo many time! And today, I did it! I watched her in the new Station's release, and I DIDIN'T RECONGNIZE HER! She's always been soooo beautiful, I always thought that she was incredible awesome. I had an image of her, like, from 2015, 2016, and when I saw her today, I couldn't believe it. It looks like she's losing herself day by day. She don't even look the same, and thats SO SAD. The truth is that she NEVER acepted herself, which OBVIOUSLY got so much worst with the effects of K-pop's industry on her life. I just wish she gets better.

People are pretending her face wasn’t changed a lot prior to the accident anyway…

I couldn’t recognize wendy on Red velvet’s recent teasers

man, I wish my nose would've reduced its size since I lost 15 kg. Just as some stans claim it works.

gosh I knew that it wasn’t just me thinking she looked completely different! it looks like she’s been trying different things to see which she likes best (obv not about what she had to get done bc of her accident) ! as long as she’s happy and isn’t harming herself with this, more power to her ❤

I’m a huge reveluv and i love them all so much. although the title seems to be a clickbait, i really enjoyed how informative you are without being condescending. i myself, is considering going under the knife so this video gave me some idea of i would like to have done. thanks!

She should just stop at when she debuted. Bright fresh face with great dark hair

Homegirl is changing faces every 3-5 bussnies days

I'm sorry, she's a completely another person. What were we saying about loving ourselves? It's none of my business nor I care about what people do with their bodies but damn-- I don't think I'll be ever to support plastic surgery unless it's done for medical purposes. Like I don't even care if people come at me defending her because you're just sweeping how toxic kpop companies are under the rug without seeing how problematic it is. And it's not that I blame Wendy but she's an example just how terrible the beauty crisis is in Korea. Just because "it's the company's fault" doesn't mean "plastic surgery is okay, she's happy" when you're just feeding new beauty standards every year to the market. This is mental health.

i noticed the obvious changes once she came back from hiatus but not the ones she got over the years prior wow 😦 i always thought she was so pretty during happiness/automatic then smth changed that i couldn't pinpoint which was the nose.

She really looked different when she came back from her injuries… like, she no longer looks like wendy at first glance.

Please cover taeyeon. It seems she keeps removing parts of her jaw. I’m scared she’s doing it to lose more weight as she’s also been getting smaller and smaller. Lots of these “idols” are forced then learned to keep their weight as small as possible then their heads look so huge, maybe leading to them thinking they need to remove parts of their face to fit the rest of their body. K-pop is weirding me out.

I believe that if korean's beauty standards wasn't so high most idols wouldn't feel pressured to go through all these procedures. Like, I know that at the end of the day it's their choice, but, imagine having your success based on how you look rather than how talent you are... I mean, it's impregnated on kpop groups already that's why they have the visual position and I'll tell you what, visuals usually get paid way more than the other members thanks to the side jobs they get such as photoshoots, brands promotions, modeling and much others. Of course the others can also get those jobs but most companies don't promote them half as much as they do visuals... So yeah, I don't blame them for doing plastic surgeries

Love it. Keep them coming!

Wendy wants to look like Park Bom

Did she change her face for every single years?, because her chin was very short in 2014 but getting more longer following with her face in 2015

I saw their most recent mv and it’s crazy how she looks so different. The other girls have gotten work done but they still have their same essence. So sad 😞

Imagine the body image issues one must have to keep changing their face so much :( the idol inudstry is cruel

From 2018-2019, Wendy's weight changed a lot tho. I think, she puts at least on 7 kgs. more. Red flavor and power up are her thinnest eras.

Just discovered this channel today and your work is amazing. Keep up the good work

She started looking like she was mixed after the accident

Do taeyeon! She look so scary and stiff now

I love her but she should have stopped at the two eye surgeries and first rhino. she’s going to age like Bom if she doesn’t stop.

woww Wendy's eyes in 2014 were literally the prettiest, now she looks half white

It's WILD celebs get this done with cameras on them every few days. Not to mention, as proven here, literally your entirely different natural face and every change since then is logged and stored on the internet for all to see. I absolutely adore Wendy but with the CONSTANT procedures I fear she's either addicted or needs therapy and not a plastic surgeon in order for her to not look awful at 40. This video is also just another reminder that you're not ugly, you're just poor. Soo many celebs (including many idols) aren't good enough looking to debut anywhere but the companies spend big and they debut pretty. Props to the very rare idols who haven't gotten work done.

I just watched their new mv Chill Kill and didn't recognize her wow

I miss her 2015 look.

My two decade long affair with kpop has also greatly informed me of such operations like a lateral canthoplasty, epicanthoplasty, alarplasty, so forth. Surgery is part and parcel for this visual driven industry, wish there was an overall lesser stigma towards work done as it's such an obvious open "secret". However, by the same token, it's disconcerting how much work is done to meet a standard.

Tbh i loved her predebut visual bcs she gave me typical Asian in 2000s American movies.

Wendy and Rose showcase how double eyelid surgery changes your face.

People claim to have no problem with plastic surgery yet constantly bring it up and analyze these idol’s every feature

Idfc, she looks so beautiful.

I don't care about those possibilities,all i know is my love never change for Wendy and she is still my favourite kpop idol since 2014 😍💙

She kind of resembled Jungwoo for those Birthday recipe concept photos imo but now with her weight loss, haircut, and whatever extra procedures, its giving taeyeon. Then people going "tHe aCciDent/ oh tHe aCciDent" sound dumb and in denial. its been 3 years now, she's probably been healed since the end of 2020 yet she still looks different every era. Just compare her now, feb 2023, to Like Water promotions in april 2021 or Queendom and it is so evident that she's done more and more since then. I'm certain that even without the accident she'd have still transformed even more. Edit:coming back to this now that she looked like miyeon in the chill kill mv

thank u so much for this channel

Red Velvet Wendy, gorgeous every era! The makeup team at SM has stepped up to even a higher level in recent years.

she looks so different.. i cant believe this or support it. idk if SM is forcing her to do these but she was beautiful in debut era already and was considered a visual. idk what they are thinking!! and i hope wendy isnt insecure about her looks or anything.

People here are talking about her accident. I say this as a Wendy stan, she's my bias in Red Velvet and I'm really huge fan of her. But look at her in Happiness era and let's say Zimbzalabim or Red Flavor. That's way before the accident. Honestly she looks a bit like a different person. Especially her jaw and eyes look different. It could be because of weight changes but it's simply too much of a change to be caused only by losing weight. And even if she had a lot of surgeries, having procedure done is not a sin. I also would like to have some work done and there's nothing wrong with that.

I believe she had more work done in recent months

Okay I support plastic surgery and I really don't care if people want to get it but my goodness I think some people need to know the LIMIT. What's crazy is that she's pretty but she never stops getting all that work on her face

The bleaching of her skin to look more white should have been an obvious feature.

For the jaw part at around 1:30 the mandible isn’t removed. Your mandible is the whole lower jaw. The surgery probably just shaved down the mandible (which sounds painful)

She looks great then and she looks great now. Personally loved her before surgeries, but it was unavoidable considering the cheek reconstruction; that said, now she looks ethereal.

Does anyone else think that basically Wendy’s endgame seems to be Taeyeon?

Had to look this up because I couldn’t even recognize her!!

Damn, I knew she had plastic surgery before and I knew she required extensive reconstructive surgery after the accident, but I don’t think I realized just how different she looked to her pre-debut self even before the accident. She’s like a whole other person.

From the her debut era Wendy was hated for her weight and chubby face. So her being insecure is natural. Moreover she fell from a 10ft stage and she had to get surgery like in half of her body which gives to the changes in her face and WHY DO WE CARE AS LONG AS SHE IS HAPPY, We reveluvs are happy as well and we stan her for her vocals and not her face😀 She sings fine and her technique got better over the years.

Her nose transformation around 2020-2022 gave me the same sense of disappointment as when 2NE1's Minzy got plastic surgery on her nose. It was almost inevitable since practically all the women in Kpop with "wide, flat-ish" noses (not sure how else to describe it) seem to eventually give into the peer pressure and get "work" done. I think it's a shame personally and I wish they didn't do it but I guess it is what it is.

2014 wendy slayed so hard, i wish she had kept that face

Well they say that her cheek bone was broken but she also got her nose done

You are not wrong with the title most of these idols need to be told when there going to far, before they begin to look like blow up dolls.

aka the facial westernization of Red Velvet's Wendy

You should speak about botox within kpop idols, both female and male. People have no idea how common and loved it is among idols, they begin at very young ages.

She had subtle work done before then but now especially after the incident, she changed a lot . Either way I hope she doing better

I don't know if you've noticed but she got even more lip filler after the stamp on it comeback and she even has filler migration now. it's very noticeable in her recent pictures going to her radio show.

Huge Wendy fan and this video is so good, we love you

Y'all act like she didn't fall ten feet and have to get a facial reconstruction surgery 💀 like obviously she had certain work before that but lots of idols do, but she had to get certain plastic surgery for her face because of the fall smh

I'm so glad I didn't do buccal fat removal. I wish more people knew how it's not a good surgery for most people, and a thinner less chubby face is not necessary prettier, and in just a few years people lose a lot of face fat anyway. I'm 26 and lost so much volume on my face and now I miss the chubby cheeks I had when I was 18, when ironically I thought they were a bad thing back then. And I even gained a bit of weight too. Fillers look unnatural, nothing will look as good as the original real fat that was there.

this thumbnail is killing me 😭

That woman needs to leave her nose alone. It'll become so bridle that it might collapse :(

it's so sad that she felt she had to change her nose, after she went back she looked so different I was like what sis she do to her face?

I was just thinking how i didn’t even recognize her in the birthday music video

How do idols get so white? Like is it all filters and whitewashing of photos? Or do they actually do skin bleaching or Gluta treatments? I’m not even sure what their real skin tones are anymore cos they usually change from photo to photo and vid to vid.

Would be really curious about Taeyeon and all of Aespa! Love your videos

I don’t get it. These features will be on your future child.

I hope she knows she's beautiful before and after, whatever changes she had. It must be very hard to be in the public eye and also work for so many years for a company obsessed with looks.
