Yeah I think the company probably paid for it...like put it on his tab as an investment. SM did this with their group aespa..all those girls clearly went to the same surgeon. These idols don't often have surgery until they're trainees and the company makes them go under the knife. As for jk, he must have gotten his first nose job between 13-14 yrs old, which is way too young. His face wasn't finished changing, he hadn't even gone through puberty yet. And his parents must have signed off that he could get surgery. It's sick!
Also, I believe he got at least 3 nose jobs while still underage. He kept getting his original surgery re-adjusted. The first surgeon shaved down too much of his nose bridge while keeping his bulbous downturn tip. Jk then went in a 2nd time and had work done to the tip of his nose to match his bridge.

The 3rd surgery permanently changed his tip making it thinner and upturned. This created a bigger gap between his nose and lips. He in addition got his first of many nose implants. All of this done before he was 17. And I wasn't even accounting his obvious eye and possible jaw surgery.
