Korean netizens are abuzz with mixed reactions regarding Choi Yena’s current appearance. On May 28, an online thread titled, ‘This Is What Choi Yena Looks Right Now,’ gained traction, featuring images of the “Good Morning” singer from her Instagram post on February 25.
Netizens quickly voiced their opinions on Yena’s updated styling and makeup. The most notable change, according to many, was her exaggerated lower eye puffs, or “aegyo-sal.” Comments ranged from criticisms of her makeup choices to calls for her to change her beauty salon.
Some of the reactions included:
- “It’s because of the way she drew her inner eye corners.”
- “She looks the same but the makeup in the 2nd pic is way too overboard.”
- “No, but what is this makeup? She needs to change her beauty salon.”
- “The previous salon was better. What’s with the exaggerated aegyo-sal?”
International fans also weighed in on the discussion, showing a similar divide in their opinions. Many felt that light makeup suited Yena better than her current heavy look.
Comments from international fans included:
- “This is the kind of makeup that only looks good with a filter.”
- “Honestly, Yena’s charm is her freshness. I like her with light makeup.”
- “Take out the aegyo-sal and it’s not a terrible makeup look.”
- “I’ve seen this exaggerated aegyo-sal look on Liz from IVE, but it didn’t look as flat.”
In other news, Choi Yena recently appeared on the YouTube show “Don’t Forget Your Breakfast 2” on February 6. During the episode, she reminisced about her time with IZ*ONE and shared insights into her life as a solo artist.
