IVE’s Rei is causing a stir after ditching her signature bangs! Recently, fans have been buzzing over her bold hairstyle change. Known for her full bangs, Rei shocked everyone with her new look during recent performances.
Earlier this week, she rocked a sleek high ponytail during a stage appearance, stepping out in a chic all-black outfit. The lack of bangs highlighted her features, making her look more mature and confident, much to the surprise of fans.
“This wasn’t a one-time change,” fans noted. At a recent awards show—where she hosted—Rei showcased two different looks without bangs. One featured her in a soft pink dress with loose hair, while another had her in a white gown with an elegant updo.
The transformation has caught fire online, with a post on TheQoo racking up over 85,000 views and fans flooding in with comments:
“Wow, total goddess.”
“Seriously drop-dead gorgeous…”
“Whoa, her whole vibe changed! It suits her so well.”
“What happened to the baby-faced girl? She looks so mature now!”
“Absolute beauty.”
Just a week ago, Rei was still rocking her bangs, framing her face in a youthful way. The shift to this more refined image has left fans buzzing. Whether this is a permanent switch or a temporary phase, one thing is clear: Rei can pull off any look!
