When talking about plastic surgery among K-Pop celebrities, usually it is associated with the monolid issue of their eyes. Usually, before debuting, many of them undergo plastic surgery to change the appearance of their eyelids, from monolid to double-eyelid, thus making their eyes look bigger and wider. However, in the case of Oh! My Girl’s Hyo-jung, we can see that she was born with a double-eyelid and her eyes are, in fact, another one of her charming points.
