Ji Minjia's Recent Photos Spark Plastic Surgery Rumors
Singer Ji Minjia recently posted a series of photos on Weibo. In the images, she sports long hair cascading over her shoulders, red lips, a pointed chin, and large eyes—looking stunningly beautiful. This surprised many netizens, with some even suggesting she had undergone plastic surgery! Responding to the rumors yesterday on Weibo, Ji Minjia clarified, "I really haven't had any plastic surgery. It's all thanks to him (my stylist)."Ji Minjia further stated on Weibo, "I'll post high-definition photos in a couple of days—I can stand up to scrutiny! A good makeup artist can truly surprise you. Slimming is just one aspect; styling, shooting angles, and overall vibe combined are what really matter."
Ji Minjia posted a long-haired makeup photo on Weibo, attributing it to her "makeup artist's skill," which immediately sparked widespread speculation among netizens, with many claiming "Ji Minjia has had plastic surgery."Though she explicitly denied plastic surgery on Weibo, yesterday netizens unearthed "inside information" alleging Ji Minjia's "girlfriend" funded her procedures in South Korea last year. Sources familiar with the matter confirmed the surgery occurred, though the details differ from the netizen's claims. Ji Minjia's agent denied all allegations and expressed gratitude for the concern.
Yesterday, netizen "I Am Little Fox" published an article titled "The Secret Behind Super Girl 2005 Ji Minjia's Plastic Surgery," which stated: "Back in 2004, when Ji was still in Chengdu, she had a close 'girlfriend.' When Ji went to Changsha for the competition, this woman paid for vote-gathering and secretly cast votes in Chengdu. Ji made it to fifth place entirely because of this woman.Of course, it was also that woman who funded Ji's trip to South Korea for plastic surgery last year, costing around 150,000 yuan." The post included a photo of the two together. However, when consulted, veteran designer Li Gang stated: "Anyone with design training can tell this is clearly a composite image."
A source familiar with Ji Minjia also confirmed to reporters that while her plastic surgery is real, the details differ from the netizen's claims: "Ji Minjia did undergo surgery two years ago in Japan. But the 'girlfriend' story isn't true." When asked why she hasn't acknowledged the surgery, the source explained:She hasn't seriously discussed this with us, but most friends know about it. Since it was done in Japan, she wouldn't admit to it."

The reporter subsequently contacted Ji Minjia's agent, who completely denied the plastic surgery claims, attributing the changes solely to weight loss: "If she had undergone plastic surgery, we would have informed everyone.We have no reason to conceal anything now—this isn't a big deal, and we don't discriminate against those who undergo cosmetic procedures. Jiajia truly hasn't altered any part of her face; she's simply been consistently losing weight."
Regarding the insider's claims, the agent remarked, "I don't know who made those statements, but I want to clarify that she's naturally beautiful and had absolutely no need for cosmetic surgery."

Whenever she performs somewhere, she posts updates for fans to interact with them." He concluded by thanking those concerned: "Thank you for your care.
