On September 11, Soyou lit up Instagram with a series of sun-soaked snapshots captioned, “I was covered in sand, but it was so much fun.” From riding ATVs and camels to snowboarding across golden dunes, her smile radiated pure joy. But what really caught fans’ eyes wasn’t just her adventurous spirit it was the stunning tattoo running down her spine, revealed as she bared her toned back.
Her sleek figure instantly fueled the buzz about her 10kg weight loss journey, which began in January. While Soyou proudly credits her transformation to disciplined dieting and fitness, the internet quickly swirled with plastic surgery rumors.
Instead of shying away, Soyou confronted the speculation head-on. During a livestream with fans, she clarified that the changes were thanks to weight loss and makeup techniques, not surgery. Still, whispers persisted until she shut it down once and for all.
On the same day as her tattoo reveal, Soyou uploaded a candid video on her personal channel, “Soyou-gi.” With no makeup, she addressed the chatter directly:
“I lost a lot of weight, didn’t I? How could that be just from losing weight? But I don’t feel bad. I feel good. When I see my bare face, it looks the same. Some people mentioned lip fillers, but without makeup, there’s no such thing. It’s the same.”
The move not only silenced critics but also strengthened her bond with fans, who praised her authenticity and confidence.
One thing is clear: whether she’s conquering sand dunes, rocking bold tattoos, or facing rumors with honesty, Soyou knows how to own the spotlight—and her story.
