Recently, a popular idol’s alleged appearance change sparked debate.

ATEEZ just returned with “Bad,” and have seen good results from the viral track.

As the group has promoted, some have taken note of alleged changes in Yeosang’s appearance.

A comparison of Yeosang’s lips from late November 2025 and a recent photo has gained attention, alleging that the idol may have gotten lip filler. Lip filler involves a solution being injected into the lips to add volume, and usually wears off after 6 months to a year.

Some saw the change as an indication of the cosmetic procedure, and commenting as such.

Others stated that while getting it done was not a problem, Yeosang’s visual change was more likely attributed to weight loss, and make-up changes.

Let’s stop talking about big mama’s lips oki? It’s been big and medium depending on a makeup style and ever since he lost weight they are more pronounced since his face slimed. Don’t speculate unless he says it himself🫶🏻 (nothing wrong with fillers anyway) pic.twitter.com/Jy1YCwHu7e

To the people commenting on his lips, one they have always hidden his bottom lip with makeup because it’s not the first time you can see it well and two, I highly believe when he got his teeth contoured he became a bit more confident and stopped pursing his lips so much. You can…

you know how ateez makeup artist love to contour/concealer their lips??? so his lips is still the same. if you pay attention to him, you will know he is still the same. but if you only see him now, it’s you who don’t pay enough attention on him.

Regardless, Yeosang is an adult and he is perfectly able to choose whether or not to get any sort or cosmetic work done.
