On the September 19th broadcast of MBC Everyone's "Jung Po-suk's Cheongdam-dong 1 AM," Hwang Jung-eum stated, "I do have insecurities, but I try hard not to dwell on them."
She explained, "If I constantly dwell on my flaws, I unconsciously find myself wanting to visit plastic surgery clinics. To stop myself, I tell myself, 'I'm beautiful, I'm beautiful.'" She continued, "I had rhinoplasty, but the nose was made too high—it ended up looking like Keanu Reeves. So I immediately had the implants removed. After that, I didn't leave the house for a month, except to go to my agency."When Jung Po-suk asked, "So your nose is natural now?" Hwang Jung-eum replied, "It's my own nose, but there might still be some filler left inside—it couldn't be fully removed." She added, "But my nose seems fuller than before, so it's actually prettier. I feel like I haven't had any surgery, which makes me happy. My original nose was a bit more pointed."Regarding questions about chin surgery, she confidently stated, "Plastic surgeons can tell at a glance I haven't had any work done. If I had altered my chin, I wouldn't look as naturally beautiful as I do now."
