Boys Republic Plastic Surgery Rumors

First, Suwoong and Minsu. There is no striking difference between the faces of Suwoong and Minsu when they are called now. Starting from the eyes, nose, and their lips, they all look the same and there is no change. Maybe, a little change due to the influence of the makeup they use, like the eyes look bigger and the nose looks sharper. Above is a pre-debut photo from Sungwoo, Dabin, and Sungjun, from left to right. There is no noticeable change from the face of Dabin when it is compared to a current one. Maybe now his face looks a little thinner than before. Maybe he is on a diet so that his body shape and face are more ideal. Sungjun looks different from before. If at the moment, the pre-debut is very calm while after its debut, Sungjun changes his appearance and looks very male with short hair. At pre-debut, Onejunn looks very innocent with a face without makeup and eyes with no eyelids. But after the debut, Onejunn’s appearance looks very different and more manly. And this is Onejunn after debut.
