Attention later focused on alleged plastic surgery based on comparisons between Woo’s past broadcast appearances and her current appearance, remarks by Jung Yeon-woo about judging standards for appearance, and Jeon Su-wan’s public message of support. Because Woo’s alleged procedures have not been officially confirmed, the key is to examine the finals results and subsequent reactions separately.
