On Pann, the most used online forum among Koreans, a netizen made a post on the topic of IU and the fact that people are accusing her of undergoing plastic surgery.“People claim that IU has had surgery and this picture is often used as ‘proof’. I don’t know why they did her makeup like that early on”

“Even during her debut days she didn’t look that different except she was chubbier. It’s just that stage that made her look weird.”

Even besides plastic surgery claims, people criticize her for allegedly getting skin whitening surgery. But the truth is that when IU debuted, her concept was gloomy, dark balads, plust they wanted her to look more mature so the company decided to use dark makeup.

Even doctors admitted that skin whitening injections only show temporary results and do not lighten one’s skin tone permanently.

These are pictures of her fromher debut days without make up. You can see that she always had white skin.

These are her pre-debut pictures and you can see her skin is as fair and light as it is now.

“Some people claim that IU has had her eyes done but look at this compilation of pictures of her no make up pictures and you will see that her eyes have always been the same.”

“This is a picture that people claim is proof that IU has had plastic surgery. The first picture has the clinic’s name and the doctor’s face blurred and led people to believe that it may be proof that she has had plastic surgery. However, if you look at the original picture below the place is called ‘ID Esthetics and is a dermatology clinic.”

1. After the controversy, her agency explained that she was at the clinic to simply care for her skin.
2. They explained getting jaw surgery like people claimed would be impossible for IU who had no long term break in between her activities.
3. They explained that she left a photo and signature behind because she had nothing to hide.

This is the summary of fans who defend IU against plastic surgery claims.

1. IU since after her debut has not had any long period of inactivity.
Since her debut in 2008 September, she may not have had schedules but she had not had any long term breaks. She was either in dramas or variety shows even when she wasn’t promoting her album.

2. Pictures that are alleged ‘proof’ plastic surgery are all made to look worse than they are.

1. These pictures are used alot to claim that IU has had double eyelid surgery. But you can see the official Loen version of this video called “IU – Gee (Guitar ver.) and these pictures are screenshots from the same video. As you can evidently see, the pictures make her look worse than she actually was.
