A viral post triggered heated debate.
Red Velvet member Wendy has found herself at the center of an online firestorm, thanks to a viral post on Pann. This post juxtaposed her past and present looks, reigniting discussions about potential plastic surgery and stirring up passionate opinions among fans and netizens alike.
The Pann post featured images of Wendy from Red Velvet’s debut track, “Happiness,” and quickly racked up over 41,000 views as it caught the attention of fans worldwide.
During the “Happiness” era, Wendy was celebrated for her striking features, long brown locks, and bright, expressive eyes. However, many are now debating how much she’s changed since then.
“Wendy used to be so pretty when she first debuted. Why does her face look so different now…? I took this screenshot from TikTok. She kind of looked like Lee Yeonhee — she was seriously beautiful. I still remember watching ‘Happiness’ back in the day and being totally shocked by how pretty Wendy was.”
“Other than her eyebrows changing, I can’t really tell what else is different… What could it be?”

This prompted heated discussions, with many users pushing back against the notion that Wendy’s changes were purely superficial. Some referenced the serious injuries Wendy sustained in 2019 during rehearsals for SBS Gayo Daejeon.

Wendy’s fall left her with a fractured pelvis, wrist, and cheekbone, leading some fans to speculate that her appearance might have changed due to reconstructive surgery following these injuries.
Despite this background, a significant portion of the online conversation remains critical.
- “Fans really need to stop blaming the accident for everything, lol… It just makes it even more ridiculous.”
- “She had surgery after fracturing her cheekbones in the accident, fact. And she kept getting procedures done afterward, also a fact.”
- “Saying ‘I can’t tell except for the eyebrows’… do you have eye problems or are you just trying to make Wendy look bad? Anyone can see she got plastic surgery.”
- “Of course, her looks changed. She had plastic surgery.”
- “Her face got totally messed up from the accident at Gayo Daejeon, so she ended up getting a lot of work done… If you have time to take screenshots, maybe try Googling it, kid.”
