K-pop star horrifies fans with bizarre new look amid plastic surgery rumors
In the images, the 41-year-old's features look completely distorted and misshapen.
Her eyes appeared to droop down in an unnatural shape, while her lips - which were smeared with lipstick - giving her an overexaggerated smile.
It's difficult to tell if the 2NE1 singer has surgically altered her appearance or if she's just using filters and photo editing apps, but fans in the comment section seemed concerned.
'Queen Boomie, please stop editing your face with those filters, you're so pretty, they're unnecessary,' wrote one.
'What the hell has she done to her face?' asked another.
The troubled star's evolving appearance has been a hot topic in South Korea for more than a decade now.
But despite constant speculation that she may have tweaked her looks over the years, Bom has denied having plastic surgery multiple times.
She's chalked some of the changes in her appearance down to weight gain, which is caused by lymphadenitis - a condition which can cause her face to swell.
The Don't Cry hitmaker also said that it's hard for her to maintain a diet because she suffers from ADD (attention deficit disorder).
In 2020, her record label denied speculation that she'd had surgery after she looked noticeably different during a public appearance.
'Some people say she got plastic surgery, but that's not the case,' they said.
The label also said that she was suffering from stress which had caused weight gain.
'[She] has had a hard time for a while due to stress,' they explained.
'So, we assured her to just be comfortable until her next album comes out. This has led to a slight weight gain which affected her facial feature as well.'
Bom later became the spokesperson for the Korean weight loss clinic Juvis, and shed 11kg on the program.
The songstress first shot to fame in 2009 as part of the K-pop girl group 2NE1.
The quartet became one of the most successful acts in South Korean history and Bom went on to have a number of chart-topping solo singles.
South Korea is known for having some of the strictest beauty standards in the world, and is revered for its cutting-edge plastic surgery procedures and skincare.
Some of the most common physical features considered beautiful in the country include a V-line jaw, pale skin, double eyelids, a thin high nose, and a small face.
According to statistics, nearly 25 per cent of women aged 19 to 29 in South Korea have undergone plastic surgery.
The unrealistic beauty standards in the country have since sparked backlash, particularly from feminist groups.
In 2022, a popular cosmetic surgery reality series was shut down following growing criticism from the public.
The show, titled Let Me In, saw people come in and plead their case to receive a plastic surgery makeover so that they could improve their lives.

I got kicked out of a wedding because of my ‘inappropriate' outfit… people say the ‘horrid' bride got married ‘for show'
FROCK OFF I got kicked out of a wedding because of my 'inappropriate' outfit… people say the 'horrid' bride got married 'for show' Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A MOTHER has revealed that she travelled two hours to a wedding, only to be kicked out because of her "inappropriate" outfit. The mum-of-two, who is from the US and is a Korean language student, explained that not long after arriving at the nuptials, she was confronted by the bride about the colour of her dress. 2 A mu has revealed that after driving two hours to her husband's friends' wedding, she was kicked out for her "inappropriate" dress Credit: tiktok/@ebrown_rn 2 Fuming with the situation, the nurse took to social media to explain all, leaving many open-mouthed Credit: tiktok/@ebrown_rn Fuming with the situation, Elisé Brown acknowledged that when talking to the bride, she was told there was a 'dress code' which her colourful frock didn't meet. Eager to alert others to the awkward ordeal, posting on social media, the content creator uploaded a clip with the caption 'Got kicked out of a wedding reception for being out of a dress code I didn't know existed!' As she filmed herself sitting in her car, the nurse said: 'So I am currently sitting in my car because I came two hours to a wedding for one of my husband's friends and we have been here a total of 15 minutes, and the bride comes up to me and tells me that my outfit is 'inappropriate' for her wedding. 'There was a supposed dress code that I didn't know existed because I never got a wedding invitation mailed to my house - it was a text message that my husband received.' With intentions to celebrate the couple saying 'I Do' in style, Elisé wore a colourful dress containing dark blue, light blue, pale pink and white. But the irritated woman later confirmed that since leaving the wedding, she was informed that the dress code was 'navy, yellow, maroon or grey.' Elisé acknowledged that she had never met the bride prior to the big day, but did know the groom, as he had been friends with her husband for 20 years. She later confirmed that the bride didn't bother to greet her or formally introduce herself prior to their conversation, but was clearly not impressed with her outfit choice. After the embarrassing conversation with the 'rude' bride, Elisé 'walked out' of the wedding and headed back to her car. Clearly fuming, Elisé added: 'But in 2025, is this what brides do to their guests now? You walk up to your guests and tell them that the outfit they're wearing is not appropriate for their wedding?' I'm 5ft3 & a size 12-14 - my 7 Tesco dresses are an absolute bargain & perfect for a last-minute wedding guest outfit Stunned by the situation, the shocked mother then shared: 'I didn't know that was a thing. I mean, I've been married for 11 years. 'This is what we do to our guests? I'm kind of disappointed and I'm really ready to go home.' Social media users react The TikTok clip, which was posted under the username @ebrown_rn, has clearly left many open-mouthed, as it has quickly gone viral and racked up 2.7 million views, 106,300 likes and 8,462 comments. But social media users were gobsmacked by the situation and many hailed the bride as 'horrid' and claimed she only got married 'for show.' If a bride is roaming around and taking time to be rude to guests, she's got issues TikTok user One person said: 'That ain't a wedding, that's a funeral of a friendship.' Another added: 'I think dress codes at weddings are horrid. Weddings have gotten out of control.' A third commented: 'If a bride is roaming around and taking time to be rude to guests, she's got issues that you don't need to think about twice.' Wedding Guest Outfit Etiquette If you're struggling to decided on a dress to see you through wedding season, here's a few rules on what not to wear so you don't get in trouble. Folklore says that wearing red at a wedding means you slept with the groom. Casual attire like jeans and flip flops should always be avoided. Any colour that could be picked up as white or cream - even if it's not. Most would agree that your cleavage needs to be covered. Wearing white is a massive no-no if you're not the bride. At the same time, someone else wrote: 'Apparently she got married for show, so that will last long and happy.' Not only this, but one user was gobsmacked and questioned: 'What??? You look fantastic!!! That's crazy!' Whilst another user sighed: 'That's very rude. I'm sorry that happened to you.' Meanwhile, one woman asked: 'And did you take your gift back with you?' To this, the woman confirmed: 'I didn't; it was only a $25 gift card. I literally walked out so quickly after her comment. I was HEATED.'

‘Global sensation' Netflix movie tops chart with 106 million views
Steve Charnock Published July 24, 2025 1:32pm Updated July 24, 2025 2:55pm Link is copied Comments Film fans, gather 'round. Netflix has delivered another top 10 movies list for the week. And it's a menu featuring a cocktail of animated wonders, heart-stopping thrillers, dumb-founding documentaries and a dose of Tyler Perry's cross-dressing chaos. Whether you prefer subtitles, swordplay, supernatural pop idols or just want to witness Madea's latest disaster, this ranking reflects Netflix subscribers' loves across the genres. Strap in for a tour through what's making waves on the world's most popular streaming service right now…(Picture: Netflix) This Thai action‑horror flick exploded onto Netflix globally in its first week thanks to its martial arts‑infused zombie carnage. It's not your average undead romp, either. Choreographed Muay Thai meets dystopian grimness here, with emotional punches landing alongside physical ones. Critics praised the intensity but some flagged that the character arcs are on the thin side. Still, with its stylish violence and high‑energy pace, it's a welcome jolt for anyone bored of the standard watered‑down zombie fare - or just curious as to what K‑zombies might look like (Picture: Netflix) A quiet indie flick that snuck into Netflix's top 10 for the past week, this Maine‑based drama combines fall foliage with emotional isolation. It never attempts to provide the viewer with flashy spectacle, this is all about subtle performances and introspective pacing. To the point that it might just feel a wee bit like it's plodding unless you're really in the mood. Yet it drew in over 4 million viewers over the last seven days, possibly because people love looking at New England scenery. Not unforgettable, but oddly soothing for a film about a 12 year-old boy trying not to die in the wilderness (Picture: Everett/Shutterstock) Next up we have a Brazilian comedy‑drama from director Felipe Joffily that passes as a more-than-watchable flick. It's charmed audiences across the world with its messy familial twists and warm humor. Thankfully, its blend of romance, subtle laughs and tear‑jerking sincerity feels earnest rather than forced. It boasts a cast that sparkles with chemistry, though critics were quick to point out that it has more than a few predictable plot points. At roughly 5.5 million weekly viewers, it's clear the appeal lies in watching ordinary chaos unfold with genuine heart. And maybe in reminding yourself that your own family gatherings could always be worse (Picture: Netflix) Charlize Theron reprises her immortal warrior role in this sequel that Netflix viewers have been enjoying over the past couple of weeks. Expect slick fight choreography, a touch of existential angst and a franchise that seems to have legs. Critics say it glosses over character development in favor of all-out action, but if adrenaline is what you want from your next movie pick, then this delivers in spades. Who said you can't age gracefully with a double-headed axe in your hand? Probably no one. But if anyone ever does, show them this action flick to prove them wrong (Picture: Netflix/AP) Netflix's South Korean psychological thriller set in a pressure‑cooked apartment building has captivated audiences globally this week. A man discovers unsettling secrets beneath his new home. Think claustrophobia meets urban paranoia. Film reviewers applauded its tense atmosphere and sharp production design, though some found the specifics of the 'mystery' a little predictable. Still, if you enjoy slow‑burn dread rather than CGI jump scares, Wall to Wall offers a stylish and unsettling ride through your worst neighbor‑from‑hell scenario (Picture: Young-Uk Jeon/Netlix) Maybe you thought this anthology docuseries had already peaked with the wonderfully titled Poop Cruise. But this Trainwreck exploring the 2009 'Balloon Boy' hoax may just prove otherwise. It brings to life a truly odd story that's a perfect storm of ridiculousness with serious implications. Critics were mixed: some saw it as sensationalist, others found it illuminating. Watch it if you've ever wondered how the internet and tabloids turn absurdity into spectacle and allow ridiculous lies to snowball into something quite extraordinary (but still extremely stupid) (Picture: Netflix) This Rotterdam-set Dutch buddy‑comedy climbed into Netflix's top five mostly due to its big laughs and even bigger stunts. Two mismatched cops fumble through crime scenes, slapstick disasters and heartfelt confessions, all before you can say 'slightly cliched plot'. Critics called it silly but effective at delivering crowd‑pleasing chaos. If you're after uncomplicated laughs with a fair few explosions, this pairs well with popcorn and fairly low expectations (Picture: Netflix) Tyler Perry's diva grandma returns in this sun‑drenched matrimonial adventure in the Bahamas. As always, Madea is equal parts troublesome gran and moral compass, stirring up family drama when her nephew's daughter marries a rapper she barely knows. Critics like to dismiss the franchise as broad throwaway slapstick, but Perry's audience just loves that familiar chaos. It's comfort viewing. If your comfort involves exaggerated accents, hugely unflattering dresses and fairly easy jokes, that is (Picture: Netflix/Everett/Shutterstock) This German thriller has a smart premise: out of the blue, a mysterious brick wall encloses an apartment building, leaving residents trapped inside. Matthias Schweighöfer and Ruby O. Fee anchor the film with a fair bit of emotional realism as panic and paranoia start to spread. Movie writers lauded its clever premise and escalating tension, though some said the resolution of the film feels a little contrived. And not super well executed. Hence its 38% rating on Rotten Tomatoes (Picture: Netflix/Sasha Ostrov) This animated gem - called 'a global sensation' by the movie website Bloody Disgusting - has slowly but surely turned into a cultural phenomenon in its fifth week of being available. Since first landing in Netflix's top 10, it's racked up an incredible 106 million views, with almost 26 million of those in the last week alone. The premise: the stars are a K‑pop girl band by day and demon‑hunting superheroes by night. It's frantic, flamboyant and occasionally baffling. Arden Cho's lead voice performance went down so well it even rallied fans to try and keep the movie at top spot until a sequel gets greenlit by Netflix. Surely, given the incredible success of the thing, that decision isn't far off…? (Picture: Netflix)

Kanye West and Bianca Censori tangle tongues in over-the-top PDA at South Korean party ahead of his concert
The pair are in the country ahead of Kanye's concert GET A ROOM! Kanye West and Bianca Censori tangle tongues in over-the-top PDA at South Korean party ahead of his concert Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) KANYE West has put on an over-the-top PDA display with wife Bianca Censori as the couple got intimate at a South Korea party. The couple, who were plagued by split rumours earlier this year, have seemingly proved their love is stronger than ever before with a wildly public display of affection. Sign up for the Entertainment newsletter Sign up 4 Kanye West and Bianca Censori got playful with one another's tongues in South Korea Credit: Instagram 4 They danced the night away ahead of his concert in the country Credit: Instagram In a new video, Kanye and Bianca can be seen inter-twining tongues during a hot and heavy makeout session at a late-night party in South Korea. The rapper has travelled to the country for a headline concert this weekend but it seems he is making the most of his free time with wife Bianca whilst in the country. In the eye-popping clip, the couple can be seen dancing close with one another and surrounded by their pals. Strutting his stuff, Kanye had his hands above his head as he danced seductively with wife Bianca placing her hands around his body. The pair appeared to take a dip at the knees as his body began to lower onto hers whilst she stuck her tongue out playfully. Holding her tongue over the rapper's mouth, he soon stuck his own out as they caressed each other with their tongues in a public open-mouth kiss. Bianca appeared to be wearing a skimpy see-through top whilst Kanye kept his eyed hidden by a pair of shades. The couple haven't been spotted out in public as much over the last few weeks with Bianca instead turning up the head with a slew of seductive posts in barely-there underwear and outfits on Instagram. The Aussie model has been sharing several sets of Polaroid photos taken by her husband of late. In all of the snaps, Bianca is stood in front of a white backdrop while showing off her famous curves. Kanye West 'paid' Bianca Censori $100k to wear candy bra and thong in NYC after she 'first told him no' This November will mark the couple's third wedding anniversary. Shortly after Kanye's divorce from Kim Kardashian in 2022, the rapper began dating Bianca. The pair then got hitched just days after his divorce from the SKIMS founder was finalized. Since their nuptials, Kanye and Bianca often step out in sizzling and NSFW displays - often sparking backlash from the public and fans online. Bianca is often seen wearing very little clothing, and has her breasts and private regions on display while out and about. Bianca Censori and Kanye West's relationship Bianca Censori was born on January 5, 1995, in Melbourne, Australia Before her current full-time job, the 30-year-old started a jewelry company called Nylons after leaving high school. After working as a student architect for three years, she completed a master's degree between 2019 and 2020 ahead of moving to Los Angeles. In a radio interview, a childhood friend of Bianca's claimed that Kanye slid into her DMs on Instagram. The rapper reportedly said, "Come and work for me." At which point she says the designer moved to LA to join his company Yeezy as the "head of architecture" - and has been since November 2020. WEDDING BELLS On Friday, October 6, 2023, The Daily Mail reported Kanye and Bianca wed on December 20, 2022. The couple tied the knot under a "confidential marriage license" in the state of California. The two wed in Palo Alto, California, according to the document. The wedding came just one month after Kanye and Kim Kardashian finalized their divorce. 4 The couple are often known for their shocking displays Credit: X/Ye
