26-year-old Chinese singer-actress Ju Jingyi was in the spotlight again for her appearance. Japanese media have dubbed her as China’s greatest beauty in 4,000 years and she has been bombarded with plastic surgery rumours since 2019.
Netizens believe that Ju had her nose and eyes done. Her transformation was even considered to be one of the most successful plastic surgeries. The rumour mill started after an old clip of her performance in the Chinese reality show Up Young nine years ago surfaced, and she looked almost unrecognisable.
According to 8days.sg., the latest rumour is that Ju did plastic surgery on her shoulders as well. This is definitely the first time we have heard about shoulder plastic surgery.
On Jun 22, the speculations began when a netizen posted on Weibo: “How did Ju Jingyi manage to change the shape of her shoulders?” Along with the comment, the person posted recent pics of the star, which the netizen claims now appears “right-angled”. This was juxtaposed with snaps from when she first debuted for comparison.
Ju catapulted into fame as a member of the Chinese girl group SNH48 which she left to pursue a solo career after “graduating” in 2017. The singer-actress work studio has since debunked the rumours and issued a warning to rumour-mongers. In its statement, it urged netizens to stop spreading malicious rumours or face legal action.
Many netizens also defended Ju, saying the changes to the shape of her shoulders are a result of working out.
“All I can say is that she really worked hard to become a beauty. I believe Ju Jingyi changed through working out. It seems like picking the right workout is really essential,” wrote one netizen, while another said: “Is there anything wrong with being disciplined in working out? You can’t criticise someone whenever you have the opportunity.”
Then there was one netizen who thinks this is just a marketing ploy to promote aesthetic treatments. “The purpose is to promote aesthetic treatments so that people will turn to them to enhance their looks. You are giving them publicity,” he said. /TISG
