IVE’s Liz faces backlash over new brown hair and thinning bangs
IVE’s Liz recently switched from her iconic pink hair to a brown shade. Fans aren’t loving the new look.
Liz threw the first pitch at the LG Twins game at Jamsil Stadium, showing off her fresh hairstyle. She looked gorgeous and confident on the field.
But the new brown color made her thinned-out bangs much more noticeable — and that’s where the controversy began.
Many netizens slammed the bang style, calling it “frustratingly messy” and comparing it to being cut with thinning scissors.
“Did they cut her bangs with thinning scissors or something? Why do they look like that… It’s upsetting.”
“It doesn’t suit her… It just looks frustratingly messy.”
Some gave mixed reactions:
“Blonde suits her better, but the brown looks pretty too!”
“Liz looks great overall, but I wish they’d do her eye makeup like they did when she debuted. IVE’s makeup keeps getting heavier…”
Others pointed out similar styles on other idols:
“Some female idols with wide foreheads get their bangs thinned out like that, but it looks really weird. It wasn’t as noticeable when her hair was blonde, but now that it’s darker, it really stands out. Kim Sejeong’s bangs looked like this for a while too, maybe it’s the same salon?”
Fans and critics remain divided on Liz’s new hair color and bangs, keeping the controversy alive.
