TREASURE Hyunsuk’s Pre-Debut Visuals vs Now: Fans React

Hyunsuk’s appearance before his debut sparked a heated debate among fans when they compared it to his current one.

On June 25, the fourth-generation idol gained attention from K-pop fans when one fan pointed out the significant transformation in his appearance and fashion since his pre-debut days and current fourth year with the group.

It was written by the OP.

“What the f**k did YG do to this man… he used to be so cute.”

According to the pictures, during his time as an early idol, Hyunsuk had a charming and endearing appearance. He was greatly admired for his expressive eyes and delightful smile. Additionally, he was frequently spotted with a sleek black hairstyle and a minimalist fashion sense.

Nevertheless, beginning in 2023, supporters were taken aback by the disappearance of his adorable demeanor, as this was when he began to play around with his appearance. His once full cheeks were no longer present and his jawline appeared slimmer. His well-known eye smile was no longer visible and instead was concealed by dark eye makeup.

Finally, he began coloring his hair in vibrant neon shades and adorning it with braided hairstyles.

Still cute. Hyunsuk changes so fast. In just 1 month, he can change like this. pic.twitter.com/45TiLd2FrH

Despite receiving support from fans for his self-expression, there are some who believe that YG is attempting to position Hyunsuk as the successor to G-Dragon and Mino, whose styles are iconic representations of the label’s image.

Concerns from fans have arisen regarding his potential loss of identity as he tries to conform to a certain image in order to maintain his brand.

what’s crazier is most ppl were still calling him ugly when he was normal which im sure made him develop this “fuck the haters” stupid mentality that they get and he became. . whatever this is https://t.co/2AQlsEgUPy

i just want to point out that even though I don’t like G-Dragon at all, it’s clear the younger male YG artists been studying him and wanting to copy his style and personality Mino from Winner was the first, and now Hyunsuk from Treasure is following suitNo originality at all. https://t.co/aDR3HDcH7p

On the other hand, some remain unconcerned about him and urge fans to refrain from blaming YG and his stylist. They argue that Hyunsuk is responsible for his own actions.

In addition to his style change, people also mentioned his shift in attitude.

In the past, Hyunsuk was known for his gentle personality, as described by fans. However, he has recently faced criticism for his careless remarks and decisions, leading to various controversies.

Despite being fans of TEUME, some individuals hold divided opinions about Hyunsuk and even go as far as blaming him for the group’s inability to reach the top, despite their initial popularity during their debut.

Despite everything, the unwavering love of loyal TREASURE MAKERs for Hyunsuk remains strong. They continue to show their support for him as he expresses himself through his fashion and personal style.
