The Eyebrow Controversy: Red Velvet's Yeri Switches Up Her Look, Here's Why It Matters
Red Velvet's Yeri made waves recently by sporting straight eyebrows, sparking conversation among fans and critics alike. But what's the significance behind this change?
Yeri Mesmerizes with Sophisticated Look Featuring Straight Eyebrows The Red Velvet singer, currently promoting her web drama "Bitch X Rich" alongside burgeoning actress Lee Eun Saem, was in transit to Singapore when she caught the media's eye at Incheon International Airport. In an impromptu photo session, Yeri showcased her vivacious charm, beaming at the cameras and charming fans with playful poses.
Later, her photos went viral online, where she garnered praise for her refined, mature aura, heightened by her all-black outfit and matching dark hair, accented with a chic white mini bag.
However, online discussions focused on a particular facet of her appearance that seemingly transformed her look - her straight eyebrows!
Once, the starlet used to sport the same straight eyebrows, adding to her youthful, sweet appeal. Yet, a shift to arched eyebrows and a bolder makeup look had previously drawn criticism. Hence, seeing Yeri revert to her straight eyebrows and softer makeup has left fans hoping she will stick with this "more beautiful" image.
Some notable comments included:
"Her straight eyebrows really enhance her beauty, although her overall style also contributes. She has always been lovely, but this new image is breathtaking." "What an absolute beauty. It feels like Yeri and her fans are finally on the same page." "I sincerely hope Yeri retains this style. The right makeup could boost her visual appeal phenomenally. Our charming Yerim."
Yeri Defends Her Stylistic Autonomy Amidst Criticism
Yeri's style and image have often been the subject of discussion. After her debut, Yeri gradually veered away from the girlish image, opting for a more mature "hot girl" look. However, this transition faced backlash from fans who believed the new image didn't suit her and accused her of mimicking stars like IU, Girls' Generation's Taeyeon, and BLACKPINK's Jennie.
Despite the criticism, Yeri remained steadfast in her choices. In a recent interview with Cosmopolitan Korea, she addressed her critics, asserting her resolve to prioritize her own happiness.
"Sure, there are criticisms. I am often told, 'Why not stick to straight eyebrows since they suit you better?' At first, such comments troubled me, as I was still figuring out my preferences. I used to think, 'Should I revert to my straight eyebrows?' But then I understood that's living by others' rules, not my own."
Yeri concluded by expressing her determination to live life on her terms:
"I debuted at a young age, and initially, I was clueless. But as I matured, I realized that I need to live for myself and do what I want. Now, I am indifferent to judgments from strangers."
