On December 9 (KST), Red Velvet‘s Wendy graced the COEX mall in Seoul, Korea, for a collaborative performance for the Seoul Philharmonic Orchestra Christmas Festival.

Looking like absolute bliss—and sounding much more so, Wendy sang “Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas,” “When This Rain Stops,” and “My Grown Up Christmas List.”

Red Velvet followers marveled over Wendy’s unparalleled vocals, and shortly sufficient, clips of her efficiency started circulating on-line.

Unfortunately, some viral posts attracted trolls who then commented on how “different” Wendy seems to be—shifting the main target from her efficiency to her look.

• “I don’t recognize her. I thought I clicked on the wrong link.”
• “F*cking gorgeous… SO PRETTY.”
• “IDK, doesn’t look like the Wendy that I know. Haha.”
• “I couldn’t acknowledge her immediately. She seems to be so totally different… She’s been totally different ever since ‘Chill Kill.’”
• [Deleted Comment]
• “Princess!”
• “A whole another person. Wow.”
• “Her face changed so much… T-T”

Some English comments also pointed out the changes that they noticed on Wendy’s face, commenting how the idol is “basically unrecognizable” now.

Soon, Korean netizens got here to Wendy’s protection, explaining that she had reconstructive work completed as a result of a tragic and unexpected accident in 2019 that shocked the Okay-Pop world.

Some identified that it could possibly be her coiffure—longer than her iconic “Wendy Cut” bob. Others merely argued that Wendy’s face hasn’t modified an excessive amount of, and that if it appears unrecognizable to the trolls, it’s as a result of they don’t know Wendy that effectively to start with.

• “HUH? I couldn’t tell what’s different about her. I didn’t even know she was in an accident… Regardless, she’s beautiful!”
• “Wow. She’s gorgeous. I love her warm and glowing vibe.”
• “But all these pictures are VERY MUCH Wendy. If you don’t recognize her, it’s because you literally don’t know her face, period.”
• “Look at you all, talking about her ‘plastic surgery’ when she literally had to get reconstructive work done on her face because of an accident. You’re all so evil. She sings well, she has a great personality, she’s pretty, AND she works hard. What’s the reason to be so rude and disrespectful toward her?”
• “Her vocal skills have reached a whole new level.”
• “What a doll. She’s beautiful.”
• “WENDY, YOU’RE SO PRETTY.”
• “She’s so gorgeous. I love her.”
• “Some of these comments are straight-up disgusting.”

Calling out the trolls for being insensitive and ridiculing their lookism, Koreans demanded kindness towards the idol—particularly realizing what she needed to undergo after the accident.

People actually say no matter they wish to somebody who actually went by means of an enormous surgical procedure due to an accident. Stop losing your lives on-line, leaving imply feedback. Wendy is Wendy. No extra, no much less. Obviously, none of you might be her precise followers. This disgusts me.
