On February 9, singer and fashion icon HyunA made a buzz following her unconventional look.
The idol posted a series of photos on her personal Instagram, showing an image that fans had never seen before.
The singer posed for the camera while clad in leather jacket, necklaces, and jeans, and showed off an intense rocker style. Her look even became more intense by exposing her side boob and wearing thigh-high lingerie mesh stockings.
HyunA exuded a punk aesthetic, drawing more attention by swearing at the camera and sticking out her tongue in her photos.
Alongside photos, the celebrity also uploaded a video with the caption, "Too cool."

HyunA's Drastic Visual Change Earns Mixed Reactions
When the photos were uploaded, they immediately amassed more than a million likes, garnering various comments from K-pop fans.
Her new look made people gasp, some of who couldn't help but admire her for suiting the rockstar concept. Fans even hoped that HyunA's future album will showcase the genre and image.
- "She's too pretty."
- "I hope she can promote this concept even once."
- "Wow, I fxxking love this concept."
- "Queen HyunA once again proving she's a trendsetter."
- "Yes give that middle finger to haters."
Meanwhile, some expressed their strong dislike of the concept.
- "Sorry dear, but I don't like this style."
- "What is wrong with you?!"
- "Are you really on the dark side now?"
- "I'm a little bit scared."
- "I don't recognize her anymore."
It seems those who dislike HyunA's new look are those who prefer her image changes before.
Older fans can't help but compare her beauty to when she was still a member of Wonder Girls, where she had a pure and innocent face.
Later on, she was loved for her girl crush image after re-debuting in 4Minute.
Once she debuted as a soloist, she then showed her sexy and confident image.
However, after leaving Cube, HyunA's image changed drastically, and she started flaunting unconventional styles that not everyone accepted.
On the other hand, HyunA who has been in a public relationship with Dawn since 2016, announced her breakup with him in 2022.
However, as they even proposed and talked about marriage, rumors of a reunion arose twice after the breakup, drawing attention. Stories such as HyunA wearing piercings in the same area as Dawn and the male idol accompanying his ex-girlfriend on her overseas schedule arose as evidence, but neither ofthen gave any significant answers.
