Following the procedure, Joy has constantly been spotted with eyelids that appear swollen and somewhat unnatural. Korean netizens expressed their distaste for this new look, claiming she now looks less appealing.

Additionally, Korean netizens pointed out that Joy has a tendency to yo-yo in her weight, and that it is easy for the idol to gain weight. This contributes to a fuller facial appearance. This has led to mixed reactions about her recent surgery, with some suggesting that it takes away from her elegance.

However, ReVeluvs (Red Velvet’s fandom) remains supportive. Some theorized that recent weight gain may have contributed to her fuller face, but stated that she can always lose the weight. They also stressed that if Joy did undergo cosmetic surgery, she did it to be more confident in her appearance.
