5 Female Idols Who Fans Think Were Prettier When They Debuted vs Now: IVE Liz, ITZY Yuna, More!

5 Female Idols With Prettier Visuals Before Vs Now

1. Red Velvet Yeri

When Yeri debuted as Red Velvet's additional member in 2015, the maknae received massive love from fans for her refreshing and innocent visuals.

In fact, she was often ranked together with Irene, one of the most legendary visuals in the 3rd-gen era and K-pop in general.

However, as she became older, fans started questioning her fashion taste, and claimed that Joy became more popular since then.

• "I was surprised when Yeri debuted. I thought she had to be that pretty to be in a group that already debuted."
• "What really happened to Yeri?"
• "Yeri was only 17 years old when she debuted so isn't there bound to be a difference?"

2. ITZY Ryujin

When Ryujin debuted, her androgynous beauty stunned K-pop male and female fans. But these days, she's not often mentioned as she was before.

"I heard Ryujin's middle school graduation [was] legendary, she was way prettier then."

3. ITZY Yuna

Along with Ryujin, Yuna also became a hot topic when she debuted due to her striking beauty and physique. She was undoubtedly memorable for her red hair and iconic fan-taken photos and clips.

But these days, according to fans, Yuna's appearance isn't as vibrant as before.

• "Yuna's had a very attractive and healthy image at the beginning of her debut, but these days, she feels very negative."
• "Yuna may have lost weight, but her face looks thin and her eyes become too big, it's strange."

4. STAYC Yoon

When STAYC was introduced to the public as a group, Yoon immediately caught the eye of fans and netizens due to her model-like beauty. She's most iconic for her long black hair, full bangs, and mysterious aura.

When Yoon started joining variety shows, fans thought that aura disappeared, decreasing the impact of her visuals.

• "Since Yoon appeared in a variety show, she became really talking like young Monika vibe?"
• "It's because Yoon gained weight and her bones got bigger."

5. IVE Liz

IVE Liz was also loved more than when she debuted versus now. At the time, she rose as a real-time trend for her beauty like a doll, gaining attention for her blonde hair.

But after various factors such as weight gain, changing makeup style and hair color, Liz's allure also went down.

• "I regretted Liz the most. Even if she had blonde hair again, she wouldn't be as pretty as she was back then."
• "Liz's makeup is even prettier than before. The skin is a bit like a red spring and warm tone, so it's vibrant and pretty, but now, it's a bit dull. I wish they would style the coral lip like a doll again."
• "Liz is still very pretty. But when she debuted, she was even prettier than Jang Wonyoung."
