Speculation over aespa's Giselle undergoing plastic surgery has incited a whirlwind of discussion online, and the band's ardent fan base, known as MYs, is stepping up to the plate to combat the allegations.

A post questioning whether Giselle had cosmetic enhancements made its way to the top of trending articles on July 18. The author of the post raised doubts about the aespa member's natural beauty, hinting at potential alterations to her eyes and nose. The post, which included a recent photograph of Giselle from an event to bolster the claim, has gathered more than 67,000 views and counting.

Many internet users initially seemed to back up the claim, with comments such as:

"Looking at her past photos, I don't know." "Even if she had plastic surgery, it's still ugly." "I'm not saying this maliciously and I also don't know anything else, but I think she had a nose job. It's not bad to have plastic surgery though."

Commenters pointed to noticeable transformations in Giselle's facial features, such as her jawline, eyes, and nose in her pre-debut images, leading to the conjecture of post-debut plastic surgery.

Nevertheless, MYs swiftly came to Giselle's defense, staunchly refuting the plastic surgery allegations and attributing her change in appearance to evolving hair, makeup, and styling preferences rather than surgical intervention.

Fans responded to the allegations:

"But honestly, Giselle's eyes, nose, and lips haven't changed at all, right? I'm honestly sure she had a face outline, but this is considering that she lost a lot of weight and has taken care of herself properly. I honestly don't think it's plastic surgery."

"Giselle took good care of herself and styled herself in a way that suits her, so she became more sophisticated... Anyway, just looking at her debut, it's not a case where Giselle's face has changed completely because of plastic surgery."

The fans argued that Giselle's grooming and styling have played a significant role in her appearance's enhancement. They also pointed out that there hasn't been any drastic change in Giselle's facial features that would hint at plastic surgery. This debate underscores the intense scrutiny K-pop idols face and the fierce loyalty of their fans.
