Jung Yeon-woo "Not Worth Answering"... Firm Statement Regarding Miss Korea Plastic Surgery Allegations

Jung Yeon-woo, the 2025 Miss Korea Jin, shared her thoughts regarding the plastic surgery allegations surrounding pageant contestants. On the 28th, Jung took time to answer questions from netizens through her personal account. She stated, "I am cautiously bringing this up because I have seen countless instances of people hurting colleagues with rude and worthless words," adding, "The most frequent topic I heard while participating in Miss Korea was related to plastic surgery," and "In fact, I thought it was not even worth answering, so I did not provide a direct response."

Regarding her own plastic surgery, Jung revealed, "I have not had plastic surgery, but I have had various procedures," and "I am more curious as to why people are so interested in whether others have had plastic surgery." She continued, "Does one's value increase if they are a natural beauty and decrease if they are not? A person's value is not something that someone can arbitrarily assign." She also explained the Miss Korea judging process, saying, "It is not a competition judged solely on appearance," and "Various evaluations are conducted, such as interviews, current affairs presentations, and self-introductions."

Jung added, "The reality that plastic surgery becomes the biggest controversy every year is bitter, as it feels like the contestants' efforts and the essence of the competition are being devalued." She further pointed out, "It is pitiful to see the perspective of people who scrutinize others' faces one by one to wonder what has changed, and who act rudely toward others while trapped in narrow-minded thinking without feeling any shame." These remarks have garnered attention as they coincide with the recent plastic surgery allegations surrounding Woo Seo-yoon, who was selected as the 2026 Miss Korea Jin.

Previously, Woo Seo-yoon rose to the final 1st place position of 'Jin' at the 70th Miss Korea pageant held on the 22nd, surpassing 26 candidates. The eldest daughter of former basketball player Woo Ji-Won, Woo Seo-yoon appeared on SBS 'Star Junior Show' with her father during her childhood and also appeared in this year's tvN STORY and E Channel 'When Our Kids Fall in Love' Season 2. Following her election as Miss Korea Jin, allegations of plastic surgery spread as some netizens pointed out that her appearance has changed compared to her past television appearances, to which she has not released a separate official position.
