Ah, so here are the pictures.
Definitely ruined. T_T
He does not look anywhere near as happy or naturally expressive in the new pictures and in both of them, his left eye (right side of the picture, obviously) look for naturally open than the left, which looks halfways between how they were and how the left is now.
Also he looks nothing like NaDa or Jaedong before or after, the faces are completely different! How the hell do people get these ideas from pictures?

I'm sure getting plastic surgery doesn't diminish either his happiness nor his ability to express it. I can guarantee that you are reading more into the images than is there. [...more but not important to quote]

Nope, I was not at all assuming anything. I was not saying he actually IS less happy and I didn't say that.

I'm saying his face looks less naturally expressive, so even if he is happier (I'd bloody hope so if he's going to pay for plastic surgery), I don't see it at all in the pictures and I think that his face used to look nicer, better at showing that happiness; it was more expressive.
That said, I also recognise that they're just two photographs (although I'm also going by my memory of his face from other games) so there might be more to come that better show how expressive his face can still look. Don't confuse "ability to express it as a human being" with "ability for his face to show it", the latter being that of which I'm wary.
I still stand by the eyes looking uneven there.

I expanded on my post a bit (not sure if you saw it). I guess it remains to be seen whether your worries have any justification but making conclusions based on two poor quality pictures is probably not best evidence to base conclusions on.

The thing is, there's nothing naturally "good" about big eyes and pale skin. It could just as well be that westerners would want to look more yellowish and have smaller eyes, and it's generally acknowledged that the reason those traits are favorable are because of western influence historically. It's easy to say "I made my hair blonde because I want to look like GDragon, I don't give a crap about the west", but that doesn't change where his fashion was influenced.

It's obviously always up to the individual, but I find it weird any asians would take offence or deny the western influence when the most koreans who subject themselves to it don't deny it. Again, they don't want to look caucasian, but they look at western famous people and find their traits attractive. It's like when my asian friends from Japan and Korea come here and say the people here are so beautiful... well, they aren't, they are just westerners and happen to very commonly have those traits. I go around here and don't find the women all that attractive and instead react the same way in asia. It's exotic and different, I wouldn't marry a Korean if I found westerners more attractive, so this is not MY opinion at all, I'm just saying that if cosmetic surgeons in Korea in a documentary specifically state that most koreans they do work on ask for a "western style" or "western traits", there's probably a lot of truth in it.

EDIT: As for the comment on pale skin being beautiful because of it indicates wealth, there's a lot of truth in that as well, though I don't think it's fair to say it's like that in Korea because they were poor 50 years ago, because it's the exact same in Japan, women from Hokkaidou are considered very beautiful because of their pale skin, while the view of Okinawans is the opposite.

LOL, what's all the fuss with their faces while the rest of their body still looks like they have some sort of growth disorder.
Visiting a gym would be time better spend.
