'#ProtectIU' trends after Vicki Belo claimed K-pop star IU had cosmetic surgery

Filo Uaenas came to IU's defense after celebrity dermatologist Vicki Belo claimed that the K-pop star had plastic surgery.

On TikTok, Vicki featured the 27-year-old singer and actress in her “Korean Celebrities Cosmetic Surgery Secrets” series.

In it, she mentioned that IU might have done four cosmetic procedures: blepharoplasty, rhinoplasty, fillers, and thermage, to achieve the face she has today.

“I think she [IU] did blepharoplasty to make her eyes wider and bigger. She had rhinoplasty on her nose to make her bridge higher and more pointy on the tip [of her nose],” she enumerated.

“She did fillers on her lips, especially more on her upper lip.

“She did thermage on her whole face to make it shrink... and she looks so much prettier!”

The said post is already unavailable in TikTok.

However, netizens shared the video on different social media platforms and asked the celebrity doctor to apologize to the Korean star.

In past reports, the Moon Lovers: Scarlet Heart Ryeo actress shut down plastic surgery rumors and credits her changed looks due to her weight loss and heavy makeup.

Furthermore, IU's agency, EDAM, had also denied reports claiming she has received any cosmetic procedure in the past.
