A series of low-quality photos during a performance show the results. Particularly, some were concerned of the quality of the alleged rhinoplasty.
Some brought up the possibility of contracture, also known as a nasal implant collapse, that results in a pushed-up appearance of the nose.
- “His nose has always been big. When he debuted, it was a round, bulbous nose. His nostrils were wide.”
- “Looks like he has nasal implant collapse (contracture). Is it possible for that to happen right after surgery?”

- “If he was going to get work done, he should’ve done it while he was still under SM… They were really good at getting top-tier plastic surgery. I can’t believe that’s a recently done nose. Looks like there’s implant collapse.”
- “The fangirls who say celebrities don’t have time for plastic surgery are pathetic. It’s not even like he’s on hiatus, he had surgery in the middle of concerts. They have time for dating, surgery, and partying, trust me.”
