Bang Si Hyuk is facing controversy after fans noticed his jaw-dropping transformation.
On June 18, Bang, Chairman of HYBE, shared a celebratory post for LE SSERAFIM’s sold-out concert at Saitama Super Arena in Japan. The image was snapped backstage during the group’s performance.
Fans quickly drew attention to Bang’s noticeably slimmer jawline and defined features. Many compared him to the youthful idols they admire. Even in a casual shot, his leaner physique was hard to ignore.
The controversy began when speculation arose about whether the image had been digitally altered. As more unedited snaps surfaced, those theories largely dissipated. Fans started wondering if he may have used trending weight-loss treatments like Wegovy, which has been popular among celebrities.
In related news, LE SSERAFIM is set to release their new Japanese single "DIFFErent" on June 24. The single will feature the title track, a Japanese version of their hit "HOT," and “Kawaii (Prod. Gen Hoshino),” the theme for the Netflix series ‘My Melody & Kuromi.‘
Following the single’s release, LE SSERAFIM will continue their Asia tour. Upcoming stops include Taipei, Hong Kong, Manila, Bangkok, and Singapore throughout July and August.
Stay tuned for more updates as this story unfolds!
