Miyeon of (G)I-DLE is stirring mixed reactions with her drastic new look.
The idol shocked fans with a bold transformation for Chinese magazine CITER. She swapped her usual style for one embracing Chinese beauty standards: fair skin, dramatic makeup, and tousled hair.
Her vibe now reads as “luxurious” and “dramatic,” making her look strikingly different. The cover shoots showcase a softer yet intense sense of beauty, highlighting the shift.
Netizens quickly noticed the change’s impact.
“Wow, totally different vibe.”
“That’s Miyeon?”
“Yeah, doesn’t she look kind of Chinese here? Reminds me of a Chinese actress.”
“I’m a Chinese drama fan, but this is too Chinese-style lol.”
“Doesn’t look like Miyeon, thought she was a Chinese actress.”
“For real.”
“Wow, doesn’t look like Miyeon.”
Her new style has fans debating whether this makeover suits her or strays too far from her image.
