Some fans commented that she looked almost unrecognizable, while others pointed out that factors such as makeup, styling, lighting, and camera angles could have affected how she appeared.

I would have never realized it was Kim Ji Won in that picture. I’m shocked, what did she do to herself?

Wow, she has changed so much… how sad.

With her ear shape, I wouldn’t have lost that much weight. It really made her ears stand out, and she looks like she’s about to fly away.

I can’t believe it, I’m shocked and extremely upset. I’m really shocked seeing people who were truly beautiful bring themselves to this state.
İnanamıyorum şok oldum ve aşırı üzüldüm. Gerçekten çok güzel olanların kendilerini bu hale getirmelerine büyük şok geçiriyorum

I’ve been following Jiwon since Queen of Tears. She lost soooo much weight. I don’t know if she had any cosmetic procedures, but with the lenses here, she became completely unrecognizable.
Kim Ji Won previously revealed that she carefully managed her diet for about a year while preparing for her role in Queen of Tears. This dedication to her craft is well-known, and it’s not uncommon for actors to undergo physical transformations for their roles.
What We Know (And Don’t Know)
However, neither the actress nor her agency has stated that her recent appearance is related to health issues, extreme dieting, or her upcoming SBS K-Drama Doctor X. As of now, the reasons behind her visibly slimmer look remain a topic of fan discussion rather than official confirmation.
