Suzy Reveals She Removed a 'Conjunctival Nevus' from Her Eye, Sparking Online Buzz
Singer and actress Suzy has become a hot topic after revealing that she had a spot on her eyeball, suspected to be a conjunctival nevus, removed.
In a YouTube video uploaded on March 23rd to Jo Hyun-ah's channel, Suzy discussed her recent activities, including a photoshoot.
During the conversation, Jo Hyun-ah commented, "You removed the mole on your eye well." Suzy responded, "I actually kind of liked the mole. I thought, 'Isn't the mole on my eye not too bad?'" Jo Hyun-ah agreed, saying, "That's Suzy's way of thinking, cute."
The news of Suzy undergoing surgery to remove the 'eyeball mole' first surfaced in a single-source report by OSEN in December of last year. At the time, online communities buzzed with discussions about Suzy's changed appearance after photos from events showed the black spot near her pupil had disappeared.
The spot near Suzy's pupil was identified as a conjunctival nevus, which occurs due to an overgrowth and deposition of melanin cells in the white part of the eye. These are typically acquired, appearing on only one eye, and commonly found around the iris. While they don't affect vision or cause pain, people often opt for removal for aesthetic reasons.
According to reports, removal procedures like laser treatment or chemical peels are quick, taking about 5 to 10 minutes, with minimal side effects.
OSEN's investigation at the time confirmed that Suzy had indeed undergone the procedure.
Meanwhile, Suzy is set to star in Kim Eun-sook's new drama 'All Will Come True' and will also meet audiences in theaters with the film 'The 7th Day of a Rich Man's Funeral Meeting for the Heartbroken'.
Suzy debuted as a member of the girl group miss A in 2010, marking her entry into the entertainment industry. She later achieved significant success in acting, earning her the nickname 'Nation's First Love.' She continues to engage in consistent acting projects, solidifying her status as a versatile entertainer active in various fields.
