Nam Joo Hyuk sparks plastic surgery speculation following appearance change

South Korean actor Nam Joo Hyuk has drawn online attention due to a perceived change in his appearance, specifically regarding his eyes. During a recent jewelry brand event at the Shinsegae Department Store in Busan, footage released by Daily Fashion News showed the actor with more prominent double eyelids compared to his previous single-eyelid look.

The change has led to speculation on social media regarding potential plastic surgery. However, some observers suggested the shift could be a natural result of aging and the reduction of eyelid fat, or influenced by lighting and camera angles.

This discussion follows Nam Joo Hyuk’s recent physical transformation. The actor reportedly lost approximately 7 kilograms to portray a character in the Netflix series ‘The East Palace’, a role that required him to appear more gaunt for intense action sequences. The series has seen significant success, ranking second in Netflix’s global Top 10 non-English category shortly after its release.
