Leading Actor Abandoned Plastic Surgery and Regained Youthful Appearance

Joo Won is facing fresh attention over his eyelids — or rather, the change in them.
The famous actor known for dramas like Good Doctor, Yongpal, and Bread, Love, and Dreams reportedly had double eyelid surgery back in college.
Here’s the breakdown:
- In his teens and middle school, Joo Won had naturally low inner double eyelids.
- After debut, his eyelids changed to parallel double eyelids, typical in K-actors.
- Recently, fans noticed his left eye looks like a single eyelid again — almost as if he reversed the surgery.
It’s unclear if he had a reversal surgery or if it’s natural. Eyelid surgery isn’t always permanent; lids can revert back.
Fans seem to love it.
“Single eyelids are better.”
“Gasp, it’s so charming how only one side is a single eyelid.”
“Damn, this is better.”
“He’s so incredibly charming.”

The uneven eyelid look is trending for men now, letting actors pull off more varied looks.
Joo Won’s natural good looks plus the fresh eyelid look got the internet buzzing. No word yet if he’ll confirm the change.
