Ren is one of the prettiest male idols in Korea. His features are sharp yet look cute and pretty. Due to his long hair and pretty face, people often mistake him for a girl. He is also an androgynous model; he dresses himself up as a girl in magazines, and he really looks like one. In 2017, Ren joined Produce 101 Season 2 with his teammates JR, Baekho and Minhyun. All of them made it into the final episode, but sadly, Ren was eliminated in the final episode (only Minhyun got a chance to debut in Wanna One).

Ren’s Plastic Surgery
Plastic surgery is one of the few things that stays on people’s minds when they hear about Korea. It is really popular in Korea; you can see a lot of advertisement about plastic surgery in subway stations. Most Korean people have some work done to their faces, but it doesn’t mean all of them do a procedure. So, did Ren get plastic surgery? If we look at his pre-debut photos and his debut photos, his nose seems different. He used to have an aquiline nose with a prominent bridge, giving the appearance of being curved and slightly bent, but now, he sports a completely straight nose. Except for his nose, we don’t think he had any work done to his face. He was already handsome even before getting his nose done.
