Many commenters were frustrated by the constant scrutiny she faces. They pointed out that she is criticized every time she adjusts her makeup, hair, or weight, no matter how small the change. Others supported her new look, saying idols should be free to try different styles without pressure to keep the same image.
Some preferred the lighter makeup she wore during recent brand shoots, while others said the current style likely won’t change anytime soon.
- “Some days her makeup is heavier, some days it’s lighter. But every single event, people keep saying ‘lose weight,’ ‘gain weight,’ ‘show your forehead,’ ‘do lighter makeup,’ ‘do this, do that’… There’s never a day when people just let her be.”
- “I’m telling you, it’s not going to change anytime soon.”
- “If she’s going to stick to that Chinese-style makeup, then she should just accept it and focus on promotions in China ㅠ”
- “I’m so tired of people going on about her expressions or ‘charm.’ Just mind your own business.”
- “She looked great in her Eider shoot. She had that Arctic fox vibe.”
