Popular Plastic Surgeon Under Fire Following Controversial Comments About IVE’s Wonyoung
Charles Sung-Chull Lee, a popular plastic surgeon known for his significant following on social media, is facing intense scrutiny and backlash for his controversial comments about IVE‘s Wonyoung.
Lee’s remarks came under fire after a video of him attending an IVE concert went viral. The now-deleted video — which featured him in scrubs and a surgeon’s hat — was captioned with implications about Wonyoung possibly seeking plastic surgery.
Come with me as I go to an IVE concert as a “pick me” wearing scrubs and a surgeon’s hat so Wonyoung notices me

The controversy intensified as Lee engaged with fans’ comments on social media. Responses that were seen as disrespectful by the audience included Lee agreeing with a netizen’s claim about Wonyoung desiring a plastic surgery consultation — where he added “more” plastic surgery, implying she had undergone procedures before.
Other interactions where Lee expressed his amusement and personal reactions to fans’ suggestions about Wonyoung’s attention towards him further fueled the fire. Similar to his video, all of his replies also garnered thousands of likes.
Lee, who boasts over 522,000 followers on Instagram, is no stranger to the limelight. His platform has been a mix of personal anecdotes, humorous takes on his profession, and speculative analyses of celebrities’ appearances, suggesting potential plastic surgeries they may have had. His videos garner hundreds of thousands of views, sometimes even reaching millions.
However, this recent incident has shifted the narrative, with a viral tweet condemning his behavior receiving over 3,000 retweets and 24,000 likes. The backlash has not only highlighted Lee’s comments about Wonyoung but also resurfaced previous controversial statements he made regarding other K-Pop idols.
