Kim Ah Joong’s face honored
200 Pound Beauty actress and rising star Kim Ah Joong was recently awarded Elle Style’s “Hot Face” award. Well, with that much plastic in it, I guess they couldn’t call it a “fresh face” award. The Hot Face award goes to the star who found herself most in the spotlight in 2007 and was decided by fan and judge voting. (Hot face + hot spotlight + plastic beauty = make your own melty-face joke here.)
Past recipients of the award, which started in 1997 and applies to international stars, models and designers, include Madonna, Charlize Theron, Kylie Minogue, Helena Christensen, Marc Jacobs, and Vivian Westwood. This year’s ceremonies were held in Hong Kong and featured many stars from Asia; other Korean candidates included Boa, Lee Junki, and Jeon Ji Hyun, but Kim Ah Joong was the only Korean honored with an award.
SONG OF THE DAY
Garina Project – “Tell Me Tell Me.” Hm, I didn’t realize when I posted Garina Project below that I’d have a Kim Ah Joong post coming up so soon! Oh well, variety can suck it. This song was apparently used in Kim Ah Joong’s Pantene CF, although I haven’t seen the CF myself. By the way, there are rumors that Kim Ah Joong was first selected to be Eun Chan in Coffee Prince but had to quit because her Pantene contract forbade her to cut her hair. THIS IS FALSE. Coffee Prince’s director Lee Yoon Jung even spoke out to stop the erroneous rumors, saying that Kim Ah Joong hadn’t been selected as the original Eun Chan. She was one of a few actors whose names were considered in very early planning stages, along with Jung Ryeo Won, but neither actress was ever offered the role.

I know it’s plastic but I still kinda like her…I really don’t know why. Weird. Maybe because I still have good feelings from watching 200 Pounds Beauty.
Anyhow, I heard about the rumor too but I really didn’t care much. Thanks for clearing it up anyways.
lol.. her face screams plastic
i like her.. i dont know how true the plastic rumors are since the before pics dont seem far off.. heard lot about it.. but i didnt really mind it too much, i liked her eversince before 200 pound craze.
i agree.. she’s been in the spotlight– waaaaaaaay too much.
I admit that I did like her when I was watching “200 pounds beauty”, I did find her pretty. However…yeah, the more I watch her, the more plastic she is. It’s just so unnatural, don’t know how much plastic is there but I’ll jump off the window if she’s natural. BTW, ever since her hit movie and couple of CFs, she is pratically doing nothing and keep being under the spotlight. wth !?
And the rumor, I knew it wasn’t true. The writer and director’s taste aren’t that bad, is there anyone would believe Kim Ah Joong was a boy even if she shaved her hair off ? Or the chopstick Jung Ryeo Won could carry Gong Yoo.
Frankly, i don’t think Kim Ah Joong’s face is all that hot. there’s something about it that bothers me..
I don’t know why, but I don’t like Kim Ah Joong. I feel like someone else should have got that award, because I don’t feel like she has the hottest face. Anyways, when I first heard the Coffee Prince rumor with KAJ I thought it was strange because I remember YEH saying she didn’t have to cut her hair, but she wanted to rather than wear a wig… because the character was too charming not to go all the way (lol something to that effect… not those exact words). Anyways, I miss the coffee prince gang. Javabeans, please let us know once GY leaves for the military.
I think she’s alright. Not so much of a fan..didn’t think her performance in 200 pounds was exceptionally good or great..anybody can play that role. Well except for the fact that she had sacrificed for the role..that’s it.
up..
her face just looks fake…but it’s okay I guess since she has talent..hehe
Kim Ah Joong had plastic surgery?
I DID NOT KNOW THAT!
woah….no wonder she did that movie!
Hate to say this but i’m still waiting for Kim Ah Joong to prove that she’s not a one-hit wonder. 200# was entertaining but was nothing special (i didn’t quite agree with the movie’s conflicting message). I do give her credit for having some natural comedic talents; her singing was ok also. Hot/pretty face (natural or synthetically- enhanced) does not always equate to appealing and charming. BTW, does she have more than one facial expression?
I dont find her beautiful at all.
Her acting in 200 Pound Beauty was nothing spectacular, however her I really love her singing voice.
Personally, I don’t care if a star gets plastic surgery. If it’s a major change downward in the middle of their career, I’ll wouldn’t like it. But if it’s before their major career and if it doesn’t look bad, I don’t see why everyone hates it. That’s one thing about Korean culture that I don’t agree with.
Didn’t the Korean press say that she was a natural beauty along with Song Hye Kyo and some other women?? I almost fell off my chair when I read that? How can anyone believe that she had no surgery??? Then, I saw a pic of her when she was in highschool (?) where she’s kinda fat, before surgery and man, she so looked different!!! It looks like she spend at least 100K on plastics. I’m not saying it’s wrong to do plastics, just don’t pretend you didn’t and don’t accept an award for your “beauty” when it’s manmade!
Fake? She doesn’t look like it to me. I think people are just hating on her since she has gotten so famous.
Lol, you do realise that there are a lot of anti fans out there who like to fake pictures? Photoshop and other editing programs do wonders, and I work in Digital Media so I would know =]

There’s a link to her high school pictures, and pictures of her with a friend. You can judge for yourself. Plus, high school to where she is now is a long time, and people’s faces can change. Makeup does a lot to your face, and changes your eye shape and so on. Makeup can totally change peoples appearance, and in high school photos sometimes you look dreadful (no makeup rule). I know my pictures look horrifying. Don’t assume until you have definite proof =D
hey, i kinda like her too…. i was really shocked when i heard about her plastic surgery….. i liked her very much ever since i watched 200 pounds beauty…. i really dont care much…. anyway at least her voice is real and thats what i like about her… her voice is totally amazing….. i’m not really sure about that rumors on her face… is it really plastic?! did she ever have plastic surgery? i hope not!!!
Here’s a link for you:
http://popseoul.com/2007/05/17/kim-ajoong-was-not-always-so-pretty/
Nevertheless, she’s a pretty talented actress, with a singing voice to match.
hellowwwwwww……… it’s obvious…. she didn’t take any plastic surgery!!!!!!!!!!!!! others are just so insecured to her NATURAL BEAUTY!!!!!!!!!!!
I think she got plastic surgery just for her nose and teeth which makes her face look fake but the other parts of her face look quite natural. And she has a natural beautiful voice, lucky her.
the nose looks different and yeah probably the teeth too
but everything else looks the same :p
well plastic or not, i guess elle is considering more of a look of certain character. if it was a beauty pageant then i would say, what the….? you said lee jun ki was one among the chosen celeb… hmmnn… I would have preferred him. I like Jung Ryeo Won too but I think when its an issue of fashionable beauty her’s come out to be too pretty for me to exude such character most fashion expert seek. I remember in one international pageant the one’s with dimples don’t usually make it.
i REALLY LOVE KIM AH JOONG!!!!!! Kunyo nun yeppumnida!!! No she didn’t gone surgery……I saw her highschool pictures and she is still the same……Hmmmn basta no matter what I still like her……forever…………
i know her face is from plastic surgery but it look likes natural,anyway your so beautiful your my korean idol

Kunyo nun yeppumnida!!!!! Ihae hashinikka?>>????
kamshahamnida!!!
Think of it this way. She was like a rock and she was carved by a master sculptor showing the beauty within. LOL
She seemed like a person with a nice personality though
her face was fake? i dont think so…, whats the most important is what was her inside. at least her heart is not fake..just i guess so..,
All i want to say is she’s Korean and she’s extremely HOT!!! And to all you haters….”SUCK IT!” hahaha…. Also, I don’t care if she’s fake or not. In my opinion, she’s a very soft hearted gal and she’s a “SUPERSTAR” and has tons of FANS!!!! Bye all.
pssss if anyone has any prove of kim having plastic surgery please show it!!!! i’m so tired of people creating fake rumors!!! she is AMAZING!! that’s why she got soo popular since 200 pounds of beauty!! on crunchyroll her movie is like the most watched!!!! i’m so proud of her!! i’ll obviously look forward for more of her projects!! people are so jelous over her! come on! get over it!
Huh…Watever.Anyone can be pretty if they go to a gd plastic surgeon loh.

It’s just her role in 200 pounds beauty..
She really didn’t undergo plastic surgery..
KAJ i’m still in love with U

hm…apparently she’s natural, but I don’t know…
there are rumours that she’s not, so I suppose it could go either way, but it’s true
that her face in her highschool pictures have the same features.
but I did hear she used to be fat.

I find Kim Ah Joong a great actress and singer in 200 pound beauty. But yes i guess she does kind of look awkward. Idk. But she is reall good at acting and she makes it appear natural sometimes in the movie. But sometimes she does look kinda fake in a way
hmm..its my first time to like a korean actress..when i saw her movie, i cant stop thingking at her..Im curious about who was that girl..then i find it out and they said that kim under go plastic surgery..but i still like her..it’s not a big deal anyway
she chose to be an actress
so, the look is important
do you really think that she can be an actress with her look when she was a teenager fat etc ? seriously ? no
americans stars also make plastic surgery
we are not actress, top model or singer so we don’t need plastic surgery – we don’t have a such pressure of cinema industry – but it doesn’t mean there is not social pressure
we use others products to appears more beautiful and young :
clothes, make up etc
you never hide yours white hairs ?
it’s her live. and for a not ‘real’ singer, she has a lovely voice. i like very much the maria ost
Most people who actually talks about her being “fake” are mostly just jealous and stuff. If she really did go under the knife, it was only a few minor touches to the teeth and nose for all I can see. Also about the comment that said
“30 ellie – Aug 10, 2008 at 12:11 am
Huh…Watever.Anyone can be pretty if they go to a gd plastic surgeon loh.”
that is not true, cuz you can’t really change your face shape that much due ur skull (etc.. i don’t wanna go into biology).
Also i saw some backstage scenes of her, and she seems really cute and the type that most people would like.
She also has a reeally talented voice which you cant say is “fake”
Plus from a boys point of view, her body is GREAT!!! No one said whether that was plastic or not >_<
cool go kim ah joong
umm… shes nice anyway… so shes through xD
