Netizens are commenting on NewJeans' recent stylistic choices.

On media platforms, netizens are scratching their heads as they look at photos of NewJeans at this year's 'KCON Japan.' Their hair, makeup, and coordinated outfits (abbreviated in Korean as HMC) verged upon a colorful mishmash, leading netizens to wonder "what this concept even is."

In the photos, Haerin has a purple-bleached hair with a graphic tee and playful accessories. Danielle is wearing a neon-patterned beanie with a four-color shirt. Other members are also seen wearing colorful hats of different styles with sporty outfits. Most of their hair is colored, and the makeup takes on a deep autumn tones.

Most-liked reactions include:

"They amassed popularity because they looked natural and simple. Why are they wearing difficult fashion styles.. I think they would just look better with a white t-shift and jeans"

"Things were good between us....why....."


"What is happening with the HMC, it looks like they are making them wear whatever simply because they are already beautiful.."

"Please stop bleaching their hair...!!"

"What kind of atrocity is this... where are my babies from the Attention MV..."


"What are they doing with these gals who look beautiful even in just white t-shirt and jeans...I mean are they doing this because they already look good with simple outfits and so they are trying to experiment with them...? Well, I still have faith in Min Hee Jin..."

What do you think of their overall looks?

Yeah it's ugly af but go on pinterest and you'll see a bunch of similar outfits if you look up "2022 maximalist fashion" or on TikTok. Considering NewJeans is supposed to embody the young generation which is more experimental with fashion their outfits make sense (young generations through every time/decade have always experimented with fashion and different aesthetics). Therefore I don't think it's particularly weird but whether it looks good or not can certainly be discussed. I like Hanni's outfit, the gray hat is cute and I've seen "alt" girls in my city wear similar hats/outfits.

Can we all agree that Haerin is just insanely beautiful?
