Soyeon of (G)I-DLE is facing backlash over her recent visuals going viral—and netizens are divided.
A post on Pann racked up nearly 200,000 views and 460+ upvotes, calling Soyeon “seriously ugly.” The post criticized her denim mini dress with a deep neckline and bold pixie haircut.
The viral post said:
i-dle’s Jeon Soyeon is seriously ugly;;;;
With celebrity-level hair and makeup like in the photo below, she can at least look a bit more like an idol, but it’s like she’s desperate to show the whole world how ugly she really is. She wasn’t good-looking to begin with, but now she just makes herself even more unpleasant to look at.
Despite the harsh words, many commenters pushed back. Netizens defended Soyeon, calling out the original poster’s hypocrisy.
Comments included:
- “Still better than the male idols you fangirls are obsessed with.”
- “You say you hate how she looks, yet you go out of your way to save her photos and post them on Pann and even copy-paste them word for word on Instiz. So much effort for someone you can’t stand.”
- “She looks like Sakura before plastic surgery.”
- “Okay, we get it. JYP idols are the best.”
- “She’s prettier than LE SSERAFIM, though?”
The online battle over Soyeon’s visuals continues as netizens keep debating her recent styling choices.
