The bones on her face have been shaved off, her nose is also a prosthetic, and her face looks really scary. Moreover, her ears, eyes, nose, and wrinkles are very much like Dobby’s. pic.twitter.com/PcEdAJTbW9

Yet, many fans came to the idol’s defense, sharing pre-debut photos of the idol, as well as those from when she was a child, to hit back at the claims.
