I heard a lot of people say that Kal had chin reduction surgery. In addition, in the old pic his skin looks very porcelain, but now his skin is healthy and nice. Looks like maybe he had some work done on his lips as well.

This is not meant to be a "mean" or flame post, I was just curious. Thanks

that's a damn good question. I also noticed he got noticeably handsomer. I always thought it was cuz he wasnt wearing glasses anymore.

I've always said that Kal and GGPlay were the ugliest lookin dudes back then.

Then they took off their glasses and looked decent.

Pretty sure it's just the glasses.

The 2009 picture isn't posed while the others are, so it's really tough to compare the two. But it does seem that Kal did have some "improvements" to his body.

Though I don't think he was ugly, he does really look handsome nowadays.

Tbh it just looks like his face matured a little. Like his cheeks fleshed out a bit which makes his chin seem a bit less...pronounced. As for his lips...you cant really compare with the pic you have...because he's pursing them. Based on the picture halfway down the first page though, i'd say its fairly unlikely.

Oh god what have we become.

Why did I have wet dreams about Bisu once?

Oh god, why, WHY?!!!!

Yes, he had correctional jaw surgery according to my friends in the Korean STX fanclub. It wasn't just for aesthetic reasons, but to help correct the issues he had with eating and jaw pain.

I don't think comparing eight pictures before to one picture after is fair. Also, that last picture was taken at a weird angle.

However, if I ignored the unfairness of the comparison, I would have to say that it does seem as if he had plastic surgery.

Kal to be the next 배용준! He needs his own picture thread lol.

Off Topic: Since I haven't read anything about this in the dedicated thread.

Is fomos cool with us using the pics to discuss events of this sort (like in the way the OP used them) as long as we don't use their interviews? Or we can't have their pics on this site at all?
