A post about Liz’s latest look on a popular Korean forum has already surpassed 90,000 views, with many netizens praising her transformation and growing popularity. The post mentioned that Liz had received an invitation from Valentino to attend Paris Fashion Week, sparking excitement from netizens who felt she deserved more solo opportunities.
Looks like Liz is finally getting her chance. She’s been invited to Paris Fashion Week by Valentino this time. I really hope things go well for Liz with this one.

In the comment section, Korean netizens reflected on how much Liz’s appearance has evolved, with many agreeing that she looks more confident and radiant than ever. Many even claimed the idol would’ve been much more popular now if she had the same “visuals” as she did during IVE’s debut.
- “Yeah, she’s really become gorgeous lately. It’s such a shame that she was at her heaviest during the group’s peak, around “Love Dive” and “I Am,” because if she’d looked like this back then, she could’ve landed a ton of ads and really skyrocketed. Unfortunately, she missed out on that golden period since she hasn’t had any solo ads since her debut.”
- “Honestly, she’s like a hundred times prettier now than she was at her debut when everyone was going crazy over her looks. I didn’t find her that stunning back then, but now she’s naturally beautiful, tall, and has that rare visual for a main vocalist, plus real talent. She’s like the definition of a perfect all-rounder. If she’d looked like this since her debut, she probably would’ve filmed a lot of solo ads ㅠㅜ.”

- “Not saying this in a creepy way, just genuinely impressed… Liz’s legs are so beautiful. Totally straight and super long, like a doll.”
- “She used to be almost overweight, but now she’s turned into a full-on beauty. She’s tall too, good for her. It’s amazing how Liz overcame and bettered herself.”
