Broadcaster Maeng Seung-ji addressed her hairline by attributing her new frontal hair growth to a topical spray. This update follows her recent milestone of a one-month recovery period after undergoing philtrum reduction surgery.
In a social media video published on the 10th, Maeng stated, “I sprayed hair loss medicine and hair grew on my forehead.” This statement comes after her public reflections regarding a philtrum reduction procedure, marking her first cosmetic surgery in 12 years.

This update parallels Maeng’s broader transparency regarding her elective procedures. Reporting from Sports Khan noted that the broadcaster shared a one-month post-operative update on her philtrum reduction surgery. Expressing satisfaction, she remarked, “Before the surgery, my philtrum was longer than average and it bothered me,” while confirming she had previously undergone a nose job and had her lip fillers removed.
