Plastic Surgery
A few months before the official debut, boy group from South Korea, N.TIC, in fact invited quite a lot of attention. The reason was that one of their members, Kim Jion, had a very beautiful face that didn’t even look like a real human, but was, similar to the prince figures in cartoons. Of course, many people questioned the truth of the claim and talked about the leader of N.TIC. Many netizens praised the man’s beauty, but not infrequently, citizens also snickered and questioned the success of Kim Jion’s face. At first, many people assumed that Jion’s photo was the result of an editing, but after appearing on the stage before the group’s official debut, it turned out to be truly genuine. Many argue that Jion has undergone many plastic surgeries, but there are also many netizens who defend him because Jion’s face resembles his mother’s. But in the Pops in Seoul interview that aired on Arirang TV Youtube in 2018, Jion revealed that he had never changed his face through plastic surgery. Jion also showed a picture of himself as a child to prove that his face was natural and did not change.
