Red Velvet’s Wendy is facing scrutiny over a sudden change in her appearance.
Fans noticed at the airport that Wendy’s lower body looked more curvaceous than usual. This sparked accusations that she was wearing hip pads.
Some say the hip pads are too obvious and unflattering, seeming layered on top of her natural hips.
Others argue hip pads have become common in K-pop, so it’s no big deal anymore.
People are divided, with comments ranging from criticism to acceptance of the styling choice.
Some reactions pointed out:
“The hip pads on top of her natural hips lead to an obvious change that is not flattering.”
Meanwhile, other fans treated the incident as just another trend in idol fashion.
Wendy’s new look has definitely sparked fresh debate among the public and K-pop fans alike.
