Jung Ji So has been experimenting with a bolder aesthetic lately, including bleached eyebrows, significant weight loss, and long, straight hair – all contributing to a more mature and edgy look. The actress’s evolving style is capturing attention as she navigates her career post-“The Glory.”
The changes became particularly noticeable during appearances at the KBS Drama Awards and the Melon Music Awards (MMA) last year, prompting rumors of plastic surgery. Online, users have questioned the definition of her jawline and the shape of her nose, with some speculating about a double jaw surgery.

The 26-year-old actress previously revealed her dedication to physical transformation for roles, explaining that she undertakes a strict exercise regimen and limits herself to one meal a day – often just chicken breast – for about a month before filming begins. She admitted that this lifestyle is challenging, but considers it essential for her work.
This explanation has led many fans to defend Jung Ji So, arguing that her new look is the result of diet and style changes, rather than surgical procedures. The discussion highlights the intense pressures faced by actors to maintain a certain image.
Before pursuing acting, Jung Ji So was a competitive figure skater until her first year of middle school. This background, many believe, explains her discipline when it comes to maintaining her physique.
