A recent post on an online community has sparked heated discussions among netizens over the changing appearance of IVE’s Liz, particularly focusing on her lips and makeup style.
The original poster speculated that Liz’s transformation is largely due to her noticeably fuller lips, which contrast with her look at the time of debut. They remarked that Liz’s lips were once naturally long and elegant, but now often appear heavily overlined.
“Am I the only one who thinks she looked better with thinner lips? Her debut look was so pretty and natural, but now the overlip style really changes her face.” — OP
Side-by-side photos comparing Liz’s debut and recent appearances show a significant change, with her lips appearing plumper and more defined. While some praised her for experimenting with new styles, others argued that the exaggerated lip makeup doesn’t complement her natural features.
Netizens were quick to voice their opinions, many of them expressing a preference for Liz’s earlier, more minimal makeup look. Some also noted that the intense eyeliner, longer lashes, and facial contouring create an overly dramatic effect that contrasts with her original charm.
- “She looked stunning with barely any makeup. Now the heavy styling hides her natural beauty.”
- “Her face already has strong features lighter makeup would highlight her better.”
- “She’s so pretty, but her makeup is just too much lately. Less really is more in her case.”
- “It’s a shame that during her weight loss, the makeup trends shifted so much too.”
Others voiced concern that the beauty standards surrounding K-pop idols, especially within IVE, may be pressuring members to follow the ultra-glamorous “Jang Wonyoung” aesthetic whether or not it suits them individually.
Although Liz continues to shine with her talents and visuals, this situation has reignited a larger conversation about the impact of styling decisions and beauty trends in the K-pop industry, especially when they spark backlash from even the most loyal fans.
