Korean netizens recently took a trip down memory lane, revisiting the early debut stylings of aespa.
On February 10th, netizens started talking about how much aespa's styling has changed. When aespa made their debut in November 2020, the girls introduced a unique concept centered around the idea of virtual avatars, or "ae," coexisting with the members. This concept was reflected in their early stylings, which featured outfits and hairstyles that complemented the group's AI theme.
While many thought their styling choices back then did not complement the members' beauty, there's a sense of nostalgia for the old styling that emphasized the group's AI concept.
Some of the comments are: "I liked the early debut days too. I know the makeup looks much better now but I still like this era's vibes..."
"I think they wanted to emphasize the group's AI concept, opting for vibrant contacts and unique hairstyles and outfits. According to their makeup artist, she didn't put blushers on back then but nowadays the members look great with more colors in their makeup."
"I kind of miss the Black Mamba's blinding stylings."
"I liked it because they looked AI lol I miss it because they won't do this style again."
"Their styling drastically changed since 'Spicy.'"
What are your thoughts?
I really miss their ai concept and I feel like their makeup back then really suited them. Not saying that their makeup now is bad, but prior to spicy and drama their makeup actually fit their concept
