Netizens are calling the members of Hearts2Hearts "natural beauties."

On an online forum, netizens are discussing the visuals and pre-debut photos of SM Entertainment's highly anticipated new girl group. In a compilation of some of their pre-debut photos, the collage had netizens marveling at visuals that appeared more natural rather than overly enhanced with cosmetic surgery.

The overall effect they give off stunned netizens, as their natural visual style stood in stark contrast to the popular AI-style appearance.

Meanwhile, some netizens remarked that their pre-debut photos actually look even more beautiful than their current images, which they deemed more 'artificial.' Netizens were largely split on whether the members of Hearts2Hearts truly underwent cosmetic surgery, with some saying they look "the same as before."

Member Ian's pre-debut childhood photo especially received attention, with many commenting that it was "extremely beautiful."

In response to those who claimed that Hearts2Hearts members actually "look too similar to one another," one netizen noted that even the members of Girls' Generation received similar reactions when they first debuted, as SM girl groups have a history of facing such malicious comments in their early days.

However, some still remarked that SM Entertainment tends to favor similar faces for its female idols, dubbing it the "nævis look," a striking resemblance to SM's first virtual artist.

Comments include:

"Ian looks really pretty."

"She's natural..."

"They are already pretty as they are, but when they overdo it, they end up looking like all those who undergo cosmetic surgery. Honestly, all the members here look very similar, too."

"Among those mentioned in the text, aside from Jiwoo's nose job, nothing seems particularly altered."

"It doesn't even look like they've had plastic surgery, so why are you keeping saying that?"

"No matter where I look, I can't tell if it's artificial beauty. I think they just bash it if it's an SM female idol. Even idols who debuted under a different agency but were mistakenly labeled as SM trainees were bashed for supposed SM plastic surgery or an uncanny vibe back then, but once it turned out not to be the case, those criticisms just dropped. They looked incredibly naturally pretty. It seems that if they carry the SM title, they're automatically bashed."

"It's just that every time SM female idols debut, that comment comes up, ㅋㅋㅋㅋ. Even during Girls' Generation, people said they looked so similar that it was hard to tell them apart."

"They're pretty, but they all really look alike. Nævis style... Navis itself has an artificial vibe, and everyone seems to give off that same impression."

"Honestly, idols from other companies, who exude so much artificial beauty, aren't even mentioned. In reality, there's no buzz, and SM female idols are automatically bashed. Just ignore it."
