Now, South Korean plastic surgeons are notorious for being so good at their jobs that often their patients face similar predicaments. But Choa’s stylist didn’t even have anything done to her face. The singer humorously commented, “Being tired…isn’t a sin…,” hinting that the confusion was probably caused by the difference between her well-groomed picture and her tired bare face.

Fortunately, the misunderstanding was resolved soon, and Choa’s stylist returned safely to friendly leg-pulling from her colleagues. The singer and her team then set off to the automobile factory for her shoot in Alabama.
