BTS’ Jungkook has once again prompted the internet after his latest public sighting. On October 27, 2025, the GOLDEN maknae showed up at the VIP screening of The First Ride, the latest film starring ASTRO’s Cha Eun-woo. Sporting an all black fit with a shiny silver chain, Jungkook’s stylish look caught everyone’s eye. But soon, the talk deviated to his visuals. Social media timelines filled up with mixed takes, with some saying he looked unlike his usual self. Meanwhile, others are speculating on probable tweaks to his features.Amid the backlash, fans rallied to his defense, adding that the K-pop idol’s nose remains intact.azi⁷🌻the life of a taytan girl @marshmellowzz_LINKnose so pretty they thought it was a nose jobFans are pushing back hard against the online chatter about Jungkook’s looks. Many pointed out that any nose work would leave swelling that takes months to fade, which doesn’t line up with his recent public impressions. They also reminded people that lighting, camera angles, or even a few pounds gained or lost can easily shift how someone’s face appears. Supporters argue that his features appear unchanged, noting that these surgery claims overlook basic anatomy. Joanna Stankiewicz @AmantisitLINKAny nose job, even the smallest one, causes facial swelling and dark circles under the eyes, which can take up to 3 months to disappear. JK was on our live show a month ago... ask yourself if it's possible for him to have any surgery done during that time :)mniariane @kooknovaeLINKThe way some of you are are literal definition of illiterate, who doesn’t know how facial muscles work, his cartilage shape, nostril outlines, bridge line and tip are same. No change in his bone structure = no procedure, if y’all do not know anything stop yapping.⟭⟬ 세리아 ⟬⟭ 💜 🐼🍝 @PandaSeyaLINKIs it your first day in "human"? This is tiring. We can't be teaching you everyday that depending on the lightning, the angle, the makeup or even the weight of a person their features might look different? Faces change naturally, fat layers thin... This is basic stuff.Others commented that he’s growing older, and with that, his features are bound to change and look more mature over time.savethechildren @giovpauvfLINKWell... he is older... of course his face will change and be more mature more handsome more manly, wondering if you look exactly the same from years ago? 🤨🤔ෆ⟭⟬E ARE B⟬⟭CKᰔ𝕊𝔸𝕎 ℍ𝕆𝔹𝕀ෆ 🍝 @Kims_Lover_MalLINKHe's no more a teenager or young adult it's obviously that his face features will change as time passes...BTS IS BACK⁷ ⟬⟭💜⟭⟬ @bunnyaRMy97LINKPlease don’t take this as me going on the offensive with you, because that’s not it. I’m only gonna say this and dip, he’s never confirmed that he’s had any plastic surgery, and even if he did, all the more power to him. It could just be that he’s older now.🤷‍♀️BTS' Jungkook attends The First Ride premiere with Cha Eun-woo dollCha Eun-woo in First Ride (Image via X/@showboxmovie)Jungkook made a rare public appearance at the VIP premiere of The First Ride in Seoul to back fellow 97-born idol, Cha Eun-woo of ASTRO, who currently serves in the military.
