Back in 2012, during a TV interview, Ji Chang-wook discussed why doctors advised against it. He said, “I went to see a plastic surgeon because I wanted to get my nose done. I went for a consultation. The doctor kept telling me that if I got my nose done, I would look awkward. So I got scared and left.” Later in 2017, Ji Chang-wook proudly shared his favorite features about himself: his signature eyelids and wide-set shoulders. He later told the host that his body and facial features have never been touched by a surgeon. “For my shoulders, I was born with a wide frame. I thank my parents for that. You’ll have to see a plastic surgeon to get eyelids like mine… but I don’t think even a doctor could give you these.” Koreans and fans worldwide still adore his handsome face, whether he had surgery or not. Well, it seems that Ji Chang-wook wins people’s hearts not just with his face or body, but with his charm and talent! Keep fighting Ji Chang-wook, we miss watching you on the screen!
