NewJeans, one of the most popular girl groups in the K-pop industry, recently found themselves at the center of discussion as K-netizens voiced their disappointment over the group's departure from the 'girl-next-door' charm and natural aesthetics that defined their initial debut.

When NewJeans burst onto the K-pop scene with their debut, they garnered attention not only for their musical talents but also for their refreshingly natural appearance.

Embracing minimal makeup and a laid-back style, the group resonated with fans who appreciated the authenticity and simplicity that set them apart in an industry often dominated by elaborate and over-the-top visuals.

One netizen began the topic of discussion by pointing out that the members' makeup is becoming heavier and diverting from their initial natural look.

The netizen explained, "One of the reasons NewJeans exploded as soon as they debuted was because their songs were good, the girls were pretty, the concept was fresh, and one of the biggest reasons is because they were so natural/organic, no? At times, I feel their styling is way too excessive these days.

NewJeans are naturally pretty and they're still so young so I think they're beautiful enough without extravagantly dolling up.

Other netizens joined the conversation and commented, "I'm a NewJeans fan but I agree with this. They're pretty with the natural look but I don't know why they're being styled to look like 2NE1 these days," "I agree with this post. I agree that NewJeans' 'Attention' and 'Hype Boy' were high-quality songs but they stood out because of their fresh concept that fit teenage girls. I wish they could return to their unadorned natural beauty that was so charming. After all, it seems like there are no other groups who are doing similar concepts," "Their styling changed so much that I wonder if Min Hee Jin is no longer managing them lol," and "I wish they go back to their 'Attention' days."

Former S.E.S member Shoo (Yoo Soo Young) warmed hearts as she shared a touching moment with her twin daughters—taking them to the same wholesale market where she once worked during a difficult time in her life.

On May 8, Shoo posted several photos on Instagram showing her spending time with her twin daughters, Ra Hee and Ra Yul, at the Dongdaemun wholesale market. In the caption, she wrote, “Did everyone enjoy the holiday? I feel like I made a memory I’ll never forget for the rest of my life.”

The photos showed Shoo and her daughters smiling brightly while eating and shopping together. Her daughters, now visibly grown up, were even seen wearing similar shoes and clothes as their mom.

Shoo opened up about a painful chapter in her past. “When I was struggling, I once sold clothes I got from Dongdaemun with the help of a friend,” she shared. “I used to go there from night to early morning, picking up fleece clothes, hairpins, and shoes, thinking, ‘My kids would love this if I brought them here.’”

Now that her daughters are older, Shoo finally fulfilled that dream. “We laughed so much while shopping. We bought hairpins, socks, and clothes together,” she said. “They’ve grown so much—they can even wear the same things as me.”

Reflecting on the experience, she added, “Memories of my past flashed before my eyes. I told them how I used to work late at night, carrying heavy bags and walking around for 10 hours straight.”

Shoo emotionally concluded, “I was so happy to show my kids the nighttime world I once worked in.”

Fans who remember Shoo’s twins from The Return of Superman were touched to see how much they’ve grown. Shoo, now a proud mom of three, continues to update fans through her TV appearances and social media, showing her strength as both a mother and former idol.
