On April 19, Lee Young Ji appeared as a guest at a concert held at Inspire Arena in Incheon, performing alongside SEVENTEEN unit members DK and Seungkwan.
She took the stage wearing sunglasses, delivering an energetic performance of “Fighting” by BSS (BooSeokSoon).
However, she quickly addressed the reason behind her look: “I’m not being rude by wearing sunglasses at my seniors’ concert. A few days ago, I had under-eye fat repositioning surgery, so I wanted to clarify in case of misunderstandings.”
Her unexpected confession initially surprised the audience — and even the SEVENTEEN members — before she lightened the mood with humor.
Following the performance, Lee Young Ji continued to communicate openly with fans, sharing more details about her decision.
She explained: “I had under-eye fat repositioning surgery. I hesitated to talk about it because it might seem like I’m promoting cosmetic procedures, but I wanted to be honest.”
The rapper revealed that she had been considering it for four years before finally deciding to go through with the procedure.
Lee Young Ji shared that one of her biggest concerns was frequently being told she looked tired — even when she wasn’t. “People often asked if I was tired when I wasn’t. That really bothered me.”
This recurring comment ultimately influenced her decision to undergo the surgery.
She emphasized that this would not become a recurring change: “This is the first and last cosmetic procedure of my life. I won’t do anything else in the future.”
Her firm statement reassured fans while reinforcing her intention to remain transparent.
Lee Young Ji’s candidness has been widely praised, with many fans appreciating her transparency about cosmetic surgery, consideration of public perception and confidence in sharing personal decisions.
In an industry where such topics are often avoided, her openness stands out.
