Goo Hara Opens Up About Getting Eye Lift For Medical Purpose And Addresses Malicious Comments

Apr 01, 2019

Goo Hara opened up about getting eyelid surgery to fix her blepharoptosis (having an abnormally low-lying upper eyelid).

On March 31, Goo Hara shared selfies she took backstage at the Japanese fashion festival Tokyo Girls Collection, and a netizen left a comment suggesting that she got double eyelid surgery. Goo Hara replied to the comment saying, “Is it a sin to get [surgery for] blepharoptosis?”

The next day, she wrote the following statement on her Instagram:

I was mentally hurt by the malicious comments I’ve been receiving while promoting from a young age. There’s a reason for getting [surgery for] blepharoptosis despite my young age. The discomfort in my right eye is one reason that I’m trying to take care of myself. But now, for my own sake, I think I should say that I’m confident when I feel confident about something. I have never thought about taking action against malicious comments. I am also someone who is living diligently every day. No matter what I look like, I hope you will look at me nicely at least once. I will work hard and promote hard as someone who takes responsibility through their behavior! Don’t catch a cold.
