Oh My Girl Mimi Causes Stir With New Styling: ‘She Looks So Pretty Without Braids’

Oh My Girl Mimi gained popularity for her new and improved hair and makeup look, which strayed from her usual braided style.

Here is her latest appearance.

On Aug. 26, Oh My Girl released their 10th mini-album, “Dreamy Resonance,”along with the title track, “Classified,”marking their comeback to the music industry.

After being released, they began their music show promotions on Mnet’s “M Countdown”on the 29th, KBS2’s “Music Bank”on the 30th, MBC’s “Show! Music Core”on the 31st, and SBS’s “Inkigayo”on September 1st.

Throughout their initial week of performances, the sextet dazzled with exceptional singing, dancing, and stage presence, resulting in an enthusiastic reaction from K-pop enthusiasts.

Nevertheless, it is reported that Mimi was particularly noticeable, particularly when she flaunted her fresh haircut, enhanced makeup, and coordination, also known as “hemeko.”

As a reminder, the member received criticism for deviating from the group’s princess-like image by keeping her braided hair and daily makeup. Fans believed she stood out too much for the wrong reasons and felt she should adjust her styling to fit the group’s pure and innocent image.

During their later music show appearances, Mimi shocked viewers by releasing her braids and allowing her mermaid curls to cascade down.

The idol chose to adopt a more natural look, altering her makeup style and moving away from her previous use of bright pink lipstick and tan shade.

Upon seeing this, the members of MIRACLEs (fandom) praised and recognized Mimi for her dedication to improving her style based on their feedback.

In contrast to her previous trendy appearance, fans drew comparisons between the idol and beloved Disney characters. Many pointed out that her gorgeous mermaid curls resembled those of Moana, while others noted similarities between her visuals and those of Esmeralda from “The Hunchback of Notre Dame.”

Read on for some glowing reviews of Mimi:

“It seems like they found a compromise between her own pursuit of beauty and the group’s direction, and they fit together so well.”

“She’s like Moana, it’s perfect.”

“It’s so nice to see you taking feedback from this activity into account.”

“Wow, the individuality is so alive and it suits you so well. It suits you 100 times better than braided hair.”

“She’s so pretty, she reminds me a bit of Esmeralda!”

“Wow, she looks so pretty without braids.”

“Until now, I felt like she didn’t fit in with the group, but after seeing her recent promotions, she’s so pretty, with personality and harmony! She’s like a princess from a foreign country.”
