Yang Se Jong is facing backlash for his drastically changed appearance.
Photos from the July 8 press conference for Disney+’s original series Low Life shocked netizens. The actor looked almost unrecognizable, sparking concern online.
The post about his new look hit over 47,000 views and 340 comments. Many pointed out his tired face and unhealthy appearance.
Some believed his weight gain contributed to the change.
Photos from 2023 during the filming of Doona! show how different he used to look.
Netizens were quick to criticize.
“I wonder what tasted so good.”
“Are you sure he isn’t sick..?”
“His image is his job…wish he would work on himself.”
“Aside from his face…he just doesn’t look healthy.”
“I don’t think he gained weight from not working out…I think it’s because of drinking. Not everyone gains weight like that when sick and can’t move. He probably just ate without dieting. Male actors are living the easy life.”
“I fell for him while watching ‘Doona!’, but I lost interest after seeing that he couldn’t maintain his weight. His visuals were great before the military…he had the face Koreans love. Oh, so couldn’t exercise because he hurt his ankle? He was the type who loved boxing and exercise….I thought he would rise to fame after the military…didn’t think his visuals would change this much.”
The situation is gaining traction across online communities as fans and critics monitor Yang Se Jong’s health and comeback appearance. No official statement has been released yet.
