Rosé of Blackpink unexpectedly shows a swollen face – is it due to plastic surgery or a makeup mishap?

Recently, Rosé once again caused a stir on social media when she appeared in a reaction video celebrating the song APT. reaching number 1 on the Billboard Global 200 Year-End Chart.

Notably, instead of her familiar appearance with delicate and petite features, which are considered her signature, the BLACKPINK member's beauty in the video sparked intense discussion among netizens.

Rosé's face looked different than usual, leading many to question whether it was just the effect of makeup, the camera angle, or if she had recently undergone cosmetic surgery, resulting in a swollen and unnatural-looking face.

In the widely shared clip, Rosé's close-up shot attracted significant attention. Her cheeks and the area around her nose showed slight swelling, giving the impression of puffiness and making her overall face appear thicker.

Some viewers commented that her facial expressions lacked fluidity, as if her facial muscles weren't fully relaxed. This sparked speculation that Rosé might have recently had Botox injections or some other cosmetic procedure, resulting in a temporarily unnatural look. However, these opinions are merely subjective observations from netizens and have not been officially confirmed by Rosé or her management company.

Furthermore, the makeup in the video is considered unflattering to Rosé's appearance. The glossy foundation combined with prominent highlights on the cheekbones and bridge of the nose makes her face appear fuller and more "plump" than usual. Many viewers believe this may be the main reason why the idol looks different. The choice of orange eyebrows is also controversial as it doesn't really match her skin tone and overall makeup look, unintentionally making Rosé's appearance less harmonious.

This isn't the first time Rosé has faced speculation about changes in her appearance. Previously, she's been repeatedly questioned about undergoing cosmetic surgery, with her eyelids appearing more defined and her nose seemingly slimmer compared to when she first debuted. However, fans have often explained that these differences could stem from increasingly professional makeup techniques, new makeup styles, or changes in lighting and camera angles.

According to analyses of Rosé's beauty journey, the idol frequently experiments with modern makeup techniques such as nose contouring, eyelid tape, cheekbone contouring, or choosing light-colored contact lenses to highlight her eyes.

Since her activities with BLACKPINK, Rosé has been known for her delicate, gentle beauty and very distinctive features. Her small face, soft jawline, and naturally high nose are what make her unique. Many makeup experts have commented that Rosé suits a minimalist makeup style, focusing on sharp eyes while maintaining a fresh, innocent look. Therefore, even small changes in makeup or camera angles easily spark debate about her appearance.

Currently, Rosé has not commented on the discussions surrounding her appearance. However, this is not surprising, as she is known for being private and rarely responds to debates about her looks. Beauty websites note that Rosé's appearance often fluctuates depending on her makeup style and health condition, so speculations related to cosmetic surgery should be viewed cautiously and avoided without verified information.

Despite the controversy, Rosé's recent appearance still attracted a large amount of interaction, proving her strong influence after many years in the industry.
