Sonso of Cosmic Girls surprised Korean fans with a greatly changed visual during her activities in China. Recently, several recent photos of Sonso were released mainly in online communities, surprising fans with a look completely different from when she was active in Korea. The released photos showed her appearance with significant swelling around her eyes, nose, and mouth. She had her bangs down and wore smoky makeup, making it difficult to distinguish her facial features. The relevant photos were taken on July 19 of this year during a music festival, where Chinese fans also engaged in various discussions regarding her appearance. Some raised suspicions of plastic surgery, but according to Chinese media, Sonso was recently prescribed medication for low blood pressure, which caused swelling as a side effect. It is believed that the swelling worsened due to three consecutive days of filming while undergoing low blood pressure treatment and repeated flights between regions. Sonso herself has confessed that she tends to swell easily, saying, "I played games all night and ate takeout, so the swelling is severe." Later, when she released photos, they drew attention as they were not much different from her visuals during her activities in Korea. Sonso debuted as a member of Cosmic Girls in 2016. In March 2023, she, along with Luda, Dawon, and Chinese members Soni, Sonso, and Migi, ended their exclusive contracts with their agency STARSHIP Entertainment. She continues her individual activities in China. - Cosmic Girls' Sonso releases recent bikini shots... perfect proportions - Cosmic Girls' Sonso, affair rumors with 36-year-older Tony Leung and pregnancy rumors arise... agency denies "ridiculous rumors."
