Actor Jang Dong-gun has addressed plastic surgery allegations that surfaced recently.

A video titled "First ever! Jang Dong-gun and Go So-young's first couples talk show in 16 years of marriage" was released Tuesday on the YouTube channel "Go So-young."

Go So-young, who appeared alongside Jang in the video, said she had put in considerable effort for the occasion. "I really tried hard today. I went to the hair salon and got a gua sha treatment," she said.

Jang quipped in response, "I have to look good because apparently I've had plastic surgery."

The rumors began after a video posted on the official social media account of fashion magazine Dazed Korea showed Jang with a noticeably different appearance, sparking speculation about cosmetic procedures.

Go explained that the footage had been shot using a filter app. "It was filmed with an app. I assumed everyone would naturally realize it was taken with a filter app," she said.

Jang said he initially did not think much of it, but then his father called. "I had seen him three days earlier, and he asked, 'What did you do to your face overnight?'" Jang said. "That's when I realized people actually believed it." He added that he received more calls over the rumors than he ever did when a project opened.
