After seeing Yena’s new look, netizens shared their thoughts and noticed that the idol had altered her styling and makeup. Several also remarked that her lower eye puffs, commonly referred to as “aegyo-sal,”were too prominent and suggested that she switch to a different salon.

Peruse their responses down below:

  • “It’s because of the way she drew her inner eye corners.”
  • “She looks the same but the makeup in the 2nd pic is way too overboard that she looks a bit different.”
  • “She kind of became more trendy looking.”
  • “No, but what is this makeup? She needs to change her beauty salon.”
  • “I think the previous makeup style brought out her charm much better.”
  • “The previous salon was better. What’s with the exaggerated aegyo-sal? Did they make it stronger for the stage?”
  • “The inner-eye makeup and the heavy aegyo-sal are too much. It feels like the makeup is diminishing Yena’s charm.”
  • “Her makeup looks really weird.”

At the same time, in a different online community, fans from all around the world shared their thoughts on Yena’s new styling. Just like Korean netizens, they had mixed reactions, with some stating that Yena looks best with light makeup rather than heavy makeup.

This is how they responded:

  • “This is the kind of makeup that only looks good with a filter or something put over it. It’s halfway decent because she’s already pretty.”
  • “Honestly, Yena’s charm is her freshness, I like her with light makeup more than thick makeup like this.”
  • “Take out the aegyo-sal and it’s not a terrible makeup look.”
  • “She looks like a combination of all LOONA put together in one person
  • “I can’t stand those aegyo-sal omg.”
  • “The look would be way better without it too.”
  • “I’ve seen this exaggerated aegyo-sal look on Liz from IVE too but she had a little natural aegyo-sal so it didn’t look flat like this.”
  • “This gives more Douyin than Gyaru in my opinion. Aegyo-sal kind of makes me itch when it protrudes like that. It’s uncanny.”

Recently, Choi Yena gained attention for her appearance on the YouTube series, “Don’t Forget Your Breakfast 2″on February 6. Prior to her successful career as a solo artist in the K-pop industry, she was a member of the popular project girl group IZ*ONE.

During the episode, Yena discussed her previous group, which broke up in 2021, and disclosed the member who often covers the expenses whenever they meet for a meal.
