Since HYBE x Geffen‘s international girl group KATSEYE debuted, there has been discourse regarding the members’ appearance.
Many netizens believe that Filipina member Sophia was pressured to get plastic surgery to change her natural nose shape, hiding her features.

Now, netizens are discussing Lara having an alleged nose job. A viral post pointed out a detail of a line on Lara’s nose in a photo, claiming it was a surgical scar from a nasal reconstruction surgery. They claimed that HYBE wanted “diversity” but insisted on hiding “ethnic features.”

The post went viral with 4.2M views at the time of writing. Original Poster believed the line was a surgical scar, but many netizens quote-tweeted, refuting this. Most believe it was just a strand of hair that had not been edited out.

y’all absolutely terrify me with your comprehension skills, the hair was probably stuck to makeup+sweat
and for you to be so weirdly obsessed with them to be following this poor hair strand on her face throughout the whole performance is actually insane https://t.co/UoVOebQmtY pic.twitter.com/QkarjTZ1Qf— м ᶻ 𝘇 𐰁 (@kawachiverse) September 26, 2024

Some even went so far as to detail how rhinoplasties are done. They explained that the surgeon doesn’t cut diagonal lines on the bridge of the nose.

Fans also brought out photographic “evidence,” showing Lara at all stages of her life. Her nose doesn’t appear different to them.
