Recently, SHINee’s Taemin attended an AHC launch event, but the catch here is that he was totally unrecognizable, and many fans labeled him unnatural, commenting, “Who is this?” For real. One of the fans commented that he looked like a middle-aged lady from Unbelievable Stories. This is one of the recent instances, but there are many more when fans praised the K-pop idols’ transformation and new look. Similar to when HyunA transitioned from cute to charismatic and bold, which then inspired an entire generation of K-pop idols.

HyunA Transformation Inspired Generations
HyunA made headlines for starting an era of transformation with her cute wonder girl moving to a bold, charismatic personality. It inspired many K-pop artists coming after her to ditch their cute plushie character and try new things on a plate. Having said that, HyunA is known for experimenting with her hair, like when she tried fiery red hair colour during her 4Minute era, and it became her signature look for sure, the second one being the bleach platinum blonde, where she pulls off an ice blonde or white blonde look effortlessly.
We noticed one more thing about HyunA, yes, her disciplined attitude towards health and fans. For instance, fans commented on her weight gain post marriage, and some even speculated about HyunA being pregnant, to which the K-pop idol firmly reacted and denied any signs of pregnancy. Building up to this, recently HyunA shared a post on her Instagram showing efforts pulled off, and she is now below 50kg. She shared an image of herself on a weighing scale, which showed 49kg. She then shared a post featuring her husband, Yong Jun-hyung, in which she was looking skinnier despite wearing a bulky jacket.
K-pop idol revealed that she maintained her weight within limits after pregnancy by doing yoga, horseback riding and chasing her kids around. Whether we talk about HyunA’s transformation after marriage or pregnancy or even coming out of her cute 4Minute era, she slayed every time.

IU Wardrobe Changes Elevated Hopes on Pinterest
IU is no doubt one of the best soloists the K-pop industry can ever have. From her teen years, giving auditions to now performing for the world, IU’s personality has undergone a drastic transformation. She turned her nation’s little sister personality earned after giving back to bach breakthrough singles like Marshmallow, Good Day, IU…IM and her first full-length album “Growing Up” to a fashion-forward cinematic character as she featured in Bel Ami, The Producers, Moon Lovers: Scarlet Heart Ryeo, My Mister, Hotel De Luna, and When Life Gives You Tangerines. Each movie brought out a new look out of IU, and fans are lucky enough to see these shades of IU.
Why does IU look so different than how she looks in My Mister?

Let me draw a picture of IU from Bel Ami, for instance, the movie featured IU as a quirky, playful girl, shown by her bright coloured outfit with unexpected combinations. She styled a sporty Adidas jacket with a floral dress, and carried a red lip-shaped bag with a British long coat. I personally never think of such a combination; however, she looked pretty.
Where in Bel Ami, you saw the playful personality of IU apart from her original cute one, Moon Lovers: Scarlet Heart Ryeo portrays her in a very different way. Hanbok costumes in drama ditched the regal colours and blended dress with soft hues; floral patterns replaced the royal embroidery. It’s just about the costume, but real magic happens with IU as Hae Soo’s Journey in the movie.

EXO Baekhyun Transformation: From Boy to Man
One of the redditors posted a question as to what happened to EXO Baekhyun’s face. We find this question too logical to be true because Baekhyun has undergone a drastic change over the years, from his face to his wardrobe; everything has changed, and all we are left with are old photos of him. Baekhyun began his career with a soft, round face, boyish cheeks, and minimal makeup and contour, which evolved as he progressed in the K-pop industry.
A rude but naive question from someone who just joined the fandom today

At the time of debut, or we may say the initial days of Baekhyun in the K-pop industry, he wore studded jackets, skinny jeans, sneakers, and layering. All of this was part of industry standards and dictated by the company, and there was zero to no personal influence of the K-pop idol either in dressing, makeup, or haircut. However, Baekhyun’s teen era was studded with little experimentation, from bold hair colours to switching over to streetwear, Baekhyun changed his style totally. He experimented with hair colours like blonde, red, and purple, tried deep eyeliner to highlight smoky eyes, and put on oversized tees and bomber jackets, like he dropped the style, knitting a new legacy of its own.

EXO Baekhyun’s transformation from cute to charismatic refined his features with age. He ditched bright hair colours for darker shades and embraced warm makeup. Baekhyun’s wardrobe transformation to soft knitwear is a witness to the start of his modern boyfriend aesthetics era. Recently, fans mocked Baekhyun for weight gain, after which he started a strict diet and covered up for all the criticism he received as part of his weight gain journey.
However, some K-pop fans expressed love for his before look while others preferred the after one. Fans complimented that Barkhyun look more manly with a sharper jawline and refined features.
