Fashion designer Hwang Jae-geun has been making headlines with his dramatically changed appearance and has recently shared an update.

On the 28th, Hwang posted on his Instagram story, "Implants are painful... but they are necessary..." along with a photo.

The photo features what appears to be a painting by Hwang, depicting a figure seemingly in deep thought, possibly reflecting Hwang's own state of mind.

Previously, Hwang garnered attention by sharing his transformed image, shedding his trademark bold-rimmed glasses, beard, and bald head for a fuller physique and longer hair.

Hwang Jae-geun, born in 1976, is 49 years old and is unmarried. He is a graduate of the prestigious Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Antwerp, Belgium.
