“Eyes + Nose – Promotion for 150,000 baht,” reads the copy of the alleged advertisement.
The advertisement appears to insinuate that the South Korean singer has gone under the knife, and her agency was not amused.
JYP Entertainment issued a statement refuting online rumours, stating: “Suzy has not made any deals with a plastic surgery agency. We are looking into the situation and discussing possible methods of retaliation.”
The image of the 22-year-old, whose real name is Bae Su-ji, was lifted from an old Swarovski photo shoot.
According to the same Koreaboo report, the plastic surgery clinic is believed to be owned by a Korean-run company, and legal proceedings are likely.
Suzy, who is in a relationship with well-known South Korean superstar Lee Min-ho, is also a regular on TV with a few dramas and films under her name, such as The Sound of a Flower and Uncontrollably Fond
