A Korean TV personality is unexpectedly drawing online attention after revealing she underwent “Chinese-style” nose surgery.

Noh Seul-bi, a shaman who appeared on the Disney+ reality series “War of Fate 49,” shared details of her cosmetic procedure on social media Thursday, triggering curiosity over what “Chinese-style” plastic surgery actually means.

“I’ll upload a reel about it soon,” Noh wrote, before opening up about her approach to beauty treatments and surgery.

She said she has experimented with many different looks over time and believes cosmetic surgery should focus on enhancing one’s natural features rather than copying someone else’s face.

“What I realized is that successful plastic surgery comes from working with the parts of your face that cannot be changed,” she said.

The conversation quickly gained traction after a follower asked which clinic performed her latest nose surgery.

Noh replied that she underwent revision rhinoplasty in Korea using a “Chinese-style” design.

According to Noh, the new nose shape was designed to create a slightly raised hump profile she originally wanted.

“The results came out well,” she said. “After removing a previous filler and losing weight, it looked slightly awkward, so I redid it.”

She added that the nose was not sculpted into an overly sharp silicone shape and said she especially liked the softer, rounded appearance of the nasal tip.

“They also corrected the asymmetry, so my broadcasting complex disappeared,” she said, referring to insecurities she previously felt about appearing on camera.
