Lee Seung Gi on Getting Plastic Surgery

Per SBS Star, the "Mouse" star alongside his fellow hosts Ha Ga In, Noh Hong Chul, Oh Eun Young, and Lee Lee Jung, talked about self-esteem and being contented with their physical appearance.
Lee Seung Gi opened up about his biggest insecurity and pointed out how he "disliked" his nose, revealing that he almost had plastic surgery.
"After I completed my military service, I suddenly started disliking the way my nose looked. It looked so weird for some reason. So, I began to think about getting a nose job," he said.
The actor thought that if he underwent cosmetic surgery and had a nose job, he "just think that it would magically improve" his acting.
Moreover, Lee Seung Gi also detailed how obsessed he was at the time to alter his face saying that he was "literally inseparable from the mirror while having that thought."
Interestingly, what made the hosts surprised is that the "My Girlfriend Is a Gumiho" star nearly had it done and actually booked an appointment with the surgeon without the knowledge of his agency.
"I consulted the doctor and set a date for my surgery. I even put a deposit down. I couldn't let my agency staff know about it, though," he explained.
The actor also shared that he wanted to do it "as discreetly as possible" since he was told that the procedure would be simple and would only have "subtle difference that it would be hard to tell" that he had his nose fixed.
