Korean actress Han So-hee reacts to plastic surgery rumors

By Bianca Geli

Korean actress Han So-hee recently chatted with her fans through an open chat room on messaging platform KakaoTalk.

During her live chat, Han So-hee clarified rumors about plastic surgery rumors. The actress reveals she had surgery to correct her nose appearance, which had been altered due to rhinitis.

In a report from AllKpop, she was quoted to have said, "I'm worried because the swelling from the inferior turbinate reduction surgery is not going away. Guys, I swear, I didn't put silicone in my nose. My nose just got a little taller because the doctors straightened [the nasal turbinates]. Because of my rhinitis, my nose became deformed and I could only breathe through one nostril.”

Han So-hee described her nose as a "Squidward nose," pertaining to a SpongeBob SquarePants character, as a result of suffering from rhinitis.

"I didn't always have a Squidward nose," she said. "I used to have a pretty high nose, but then because it grew unbalanced, the end eventually angled inward. The surgery actually helped straighten that out. But the thing about rhinitis? It always comes back. So, I'll probably go back to having a Squidward nose soon too."

Han So-hee also thanked her fans for always supporting her choices.

“I'm immature and I want to try so many different things, and because I'm like this, there are those of you who go to great lengths to defend me and my actions. Thanks to your efforts, I am living the way I want without feeling too stressed. It's so reassuring to have you by my side, and I'm so grateful, but at the same time, I feel apologetic.

"When I thought about what being a 'fan' really means, I started to realize that fans should not be taken for granted. It is not a fact that a fan will stay a devoted fan forever. But you all are devoting yourselves to me, and you've put your faith in me.

"So, I want to make one promise. I'm going to protect you. I promise not to think ill of you, I promise not to take you for granted, I will not grow lazy and develop feelings of contempt toward your devotion. This will be our promise,” the actor added.

Han So-he is known for her roles in dramas The World of the Married and Nevertheless, among others. She is expected to be next seen with Park Seo-joon in Gyeongseong Creature, to be released on December 22.
