Track and field athlete Kim Mingee, known as 'The 'Karina' of Track and Field' and for appearing on 'Single's Inferno 5,' personally opened up about her beauty care routine and experiences with cosmetic procedures.

On the 28th, a video titled "How to get a prettier face shape without plastic surgery? Summary of recommended and non-recommended procedures and treatment" was uploaded to Kim Mingee's Youtube channel. Having appeared on Netflix's 'Single's Inferno 5' earlier this January, Kim Mingee answered fans' questions and explained her transformation journey. Kim Mingee clarified, "I really haven't had any plastic surgery at all," explaining that she achieved her current appearance from beauty treatments and non-surgical procedures.

Instead of surgery, Kim Mingee opened up about undergoing orthodontic treatment. She shared, "I got braces twice. In total, I spent four years doing orthodontic treatment alone." She explained that she first got braces in high school but was unhappy with the outcome. Later in college, after hearing someone tell her, "Noona, I think you'd be so pretty if you just got braces," she visited a specialized orthodontic clinic and underwent another year of treatment. She explained that at the time, she had eight teeth removed, including four wisdom teeth and two front teeth on each side.

Regarding the changes in her face shape, she said, "Since I had eight teeth removed, I think there was plenty of room for everything to move back. That's probably why my lower face became smaller." She also revealed why she decided to get veneers, saying, "When I first saw myself on video, my teeth looked like they stuck out so much," adding, "Even when I was filming for commercials, the advertisers told me not to smile, which made me decide to get veneers."

Regarding her face shape maintenance, Kim Mingee admitted, "I got chin filler and Botox for my chin." She explained that she often received comments about how she used the muscles around her mouth during photoshoots, so she tried to make improvements through cosmetic treatments. However, she strongly denied getting Botox for her jaw. She added, "Still, I think the braces made the biggest difference. No matter how much Botox you get, I think getting braces twice really changed things."

Furthermore, she also shared her experience with nose fillers. Looking back, she said "I really didn’t like how my face looked when I appeared on 'Single's Inferno 5,'" adding, "I chose the wrong clinic. I went in dissatisfied and came out still dissatisfied." She emphasized how important it is to choose the right clinic to achieve the desired results.

“Please refrain from mentioning him” 'Single’s Inferno 5' contestant Lim Subeen's agency CEO publicly calls out Kim Mingee

'Single's Inferno 5' star Lim Subeen's agency CEO directly criticized Kim Mingee in public.

On the 20th, Lim Subeen's agency CEO Lee Seojun tagged Kim Mingee's Instagram account on his Instagram Story and wrote, "Hello, Mingee-ssi. What is your intention behind using this footage without any prior discussion or sharing with our company? I only became aware of it through fan reports, and honestly I was quite surprised." He continued, "From now on, we ask that you refrain from mentioning our actor, Lim Subeen."

The scene that sparked the controversy is a footage from a recent YouTube video uploaded by Kim Mingee titled, "Decorating 11-pyeong two-room apartment with Kim Mingee's aesthetic." In the video, Kim Mingee and Woo Sungmin were choosing a bed for her apartment, and while lying on the same bed model used in Paradise on Netflix's 'Single's Inferno 5,' she mentioned Lim Subeen and their date in Paradise. 

Kim Mingee laughed as she recalled the moment, saying, "We came all the way to an expensive hotel, so maybe Soobin wanted to try lying on the bed since we were staying at such an expensive hotel. I should’ve stepped out." The video also showed footage from 'Single's Inferno 5' showing her and Lim Subeen lying side-by-side on the bed while chatting during their date in Paradise.

However, after the agency CEO publicly spoke out, many netizens responded negatively, leaving comments such as, "It's a scene that already aired on the show, so why is he telling her not to mention it?", "This is the first time I've seen an agency CEO personally step in like this," and "The reaction feels overly sensitive."

Around the time I was wondering what to do after finishing my career as a track and field athlete, this new opportunity in broadcasting industry came along. I started it because I thought it would be fun. Work keeps coming in and I'm having a lot of fun. I want to keep doing it as long as people keep inviting me."

When a subscriber asked, "I'm asking this with no bad intentions, just pure curiosity, but I saw someone talk about your plastic surgery on Reels. Did you get anything done?" Kim Mingee responded, "I really wanted to talk about this. 'No bad intentions?' I don't think that's true, though. I think there's a little bit of 'bad intentions' in your question."

Regarding the plastic surgery rumors and her past photos, Kim Mingee firmly stated, "I really didn't get plastic surgery. I really didn't. If you look at those photos, they look bizarre. What happened was that when you wear braces, your mouth can stick out this much."

She also stated, "Who becomes pretty just from getting braces?" and admitted, "I did get some fillers. I got them on my nose and forehead." She added, "How could I have known I'd become pretty just from braces and a little filler? Even I didn't know I'd become this pretty."

COMMENTS:

1. [+648][-42] A lot of people don’t realize how powerful braces are. Braces are the best kind of plastic surgery. It completely changes how you look.

2. [+494][-40] That level of change is definitely possible with braces.

3. A good example of what braces can do.

4. [+110][-70] She is really shameless ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

5. [+37][-3] She seems like the type of person who is so 'cool' that she doesn't care about what people around her think.
