A growing number of South Korean celebrities are turning heads after revealing they underwent Ultherapy, a non-invasive ultrasound-based lifting and tightening procedure.
On the Sunday broadcast of SBS’s “Running Man,” actress Ji Ye-eun made an appearance with noticeably slimmer features. The segment surprised many viewers as her signature “double chin” had disappeared. Comedian Yoo Jae-suk quipped, “I’ve seen a few people lose their character like this,” drawing laughter on set.
Ji had previously revealed on the same program that she received Ultherapy, saying she did it because “it needed to be lifted.”

Entertainer Jun Hyun-moo also recently shared that he had undergone Ultherapy. On the YouTube channel “Fairy Jaehyung,” he appeared with a refreshed look, prompting host Jung Jae-hyung to comment, “Your skin looks great.” Jun responded, “I got Ultherapy,” and added, “They say one month later is peak visual. This is my peak.”
Along with Ultherapy, Jun said he received Botox treatments as well. His recently sharpened jawline has become a hot topic online.

Comedian Kim Sook, meanwhile, shared her Ultherapy experience to commemorate her 30th anniversary in the industry. “I’ll be showing my 600-shot Ultherapy live show in real time,” she said before undergoing the procedure. “I’ll share my review: I did a 600-shot Ultherapy session. The Thermage 600-shot is like ‘tatatatatata,’ but Ultherapy is more like ‘tatatadatatatatadak,’” she joked, earning laughs for her colorful description.
Other stars like Choi Hwa-jung, long known for her self-care discipline, have also mentioned Ultherapy as a key to their skin routine. “I get it once a year,” she said.
As more celebrities speak openly about their experiences, the dramatic before-and-after visuals have sparked widespread interest in Ultherapy across the public.
