Actor Jeong Seok-won has openly expressed his strong opposition to plastic surgery for his daughter, Haim, sharing his views during a recent appearance with his wife, singer Baek Ji-young.
On the 28th, Baek Ji-young and Jeong appeared on the YouTube channel Baek Ji-young Baek Z Young, where the couple was shown consulting with a plastic surgeon. During the conversation, the production team asked Baek which procedure she had been most satisfied with.
“My first double eyelid surgery,” Baek replied. “I didn’t have one naturally.”
Jeong reacted with visible concern, noting, “Haim also walks around with those eye tape strips,” hinting at his unease over his daughter’s growing interest in cosmetic enhancements.
Baek laughed as she explained that Haim had once asked to try double eyelid tape out of curiosity. “Since I’m good with my hands, I put it on her properly. Her eyes looked bigger and sharper, so she liked it,” Baek said.
When asked how they would respond if Haim wanted plastic surgery in the future, Baek said she would respect her daughter’s choice. “I’m okay with it if she wants to do it,” she said, adding with a smile, “But she’ll need her father’s permission,” as she glanced at Jeong.
Jeong, however, made his position clear. “I’m basically brainwashing her that surgery is not allowed,” he said. “Being natural is the most beautiful thing.”
Baek agreed, pointing out differences in beauty standards abroad. “Foreign actors don’t even remove moles,” she said. Jeong echoed her sentiment, adding, “They say square jaws are attractive. We shave our jaws here, but when we get older, we won’t even be able to chew rice properly.”
Jeong concluded by reaffirming his firm stance against cosmetic procedures, emphasizing his belief in natural beauty and long-term health over changing aesthetic trends in plastic surgery.
