DAY6’s Dowoon has recently captured public attention with his candid comments on Dear. U Bubble, the popular messaging app that connects K-stars with their fans. Dowoon’s chat with fans shocked the public because of his true honesty.
In a screenshot of the chat, Dowoon revealed his visit to a plastic surgery clinic. He bluntly shared that he had received Botox injections that day to reduce the size of his jaw muscles, explaining that he grinds his teeth, which had caused issues with his jaw.
Masseter Botox is a common procedure for those who grind their teeth, as it can relieve painful symptoms like headaches, jaw pain, and even tooth damage. Dowoon further shared details about other cosmetic procedures he has undergone, including nose fillers around the time of his debut, mentioning that his doctor informed him the fillers would dissolve over time. Fans were surprised by how casually Dowoon discussed these procedures.
This isn't the first time a celebrity has openly discussed cosmetic procedures. For instance, Jessi has been very open about her experiences with cosmetic enhancements. There's something refreshing about stars being transparent about their experiences.
In Korean entertainment, there's always debate about whether stars have had cosmetic surgery. On social media, licensed cosmetic surgeons often compare before-and-after photos to speculate on potential procedures. Opinions are divided, with some netizens indifferent to celebrities' cosmetic choices, while others deny any work has been done, attributing changes to natural growth.
Dowoon's willingness to discuss these topics openly with his fans is refreshing. Many people look up to celebrities and often compare themselves to their idols. Dowoon's honesty helps humanize these stars, showing that they, too, have imperfections. While cosmetic choices are personal, Dowoon's transparency is appreciated, demonstrating that even admired figures have their own struggles.
I think this is a breath of fresh air, but what about you? Do you think Dowoon's openness was too much information, or do you appreciate his directness in sharing about his day?
