Netizens are actively expressing their opinions on the frequent use of colored contact lenses by K-pop idols, a trend that has recently gained popularity as a fashion statement.

Discussions on an online forum revolved around screencaps of idols donning vibrant contact lenses, often featured prominently to enhance their already striking appearances.

One post, focusing on LE SSERAFIM's Hong Eunchae and Stray Kids' Felix, drew particular attention with the original caption stating, "It's not pretty, it's just scary."

Comments on the post varied, with some describing the excessive use of these lenses as "monstrous" and others acknowledging that Eunchae's lenses appeared less unusual.

Speculations arose among netizens, with some suggesting that these lenses serve as props to amplify the idols' stage presence, while others attributed their eerie appearance to the intense lighting on stage.

The discussion reflects the diverse opinions within the K-pop community regarding the use of colored contact lenses as a fashion element.

Reactions from netizens include:

"They look so uncanny..."
"They might be necessary for the bright, hard lighting on stage"
"I think they look scary in the photos but pretty in the videos"
"I find them pretty haha"
"I don't think Eunchae's are that scary. She just tends to be in a group with a very strong on-stage concept as well."
"Zombie lenses are the ones that are really scary..."
"The idol lenses back in the 2010s were also mindboggling..."
"It should be their own individual choice"
"They actually don't look very ideal to me, but I guess the idols need to shock their audiences with their visuals as per their job"
"The whole point is that the lenses are uncanny and uncomfortable to see, though...let's not refer to the idols themselves"

ChoA, former member of the girl group Crayon Pop, has bravely shared her ongoing battle with cervical cancer and her emotional journey.

On January 28, ChoA posted a heartfelt update on her social media, explaining her struggles. "I usually laugh, talk, and live my life as usual, but there are moments when I suddenly face a reality that isn’t like before, and it gets tough," she shared.

She went on to say, "Recently, something difficult happened, and in the past, I would have had a drink with my husband to shake it off. I really miss being able to do that."

ChoA admitted that she still can’t fully believe her diagnosis. "When I face the reality I’ve been avoiding, my heart that I’ve built up breaks down," she said. "But the life I’m living now, which I’m still enjoying, is something that someone else might be wishing for. I try to gather my thoughts again with gratitude."

She also expressed hope for the future, saying, "Lately, I dream of a day five years from now when I’ll be declared cancer-free and be able to have a drink with my husband after putting the kids to bed, after all the struggles. It’s been almost two years, so I believe the day I get that clean bill of health will come soon."

ChoA married a businessman in 2021, six years older than her. In October 2023, she revealed her cervical cancer diagnosis, sharing that she had been diagnosed during a routine check-up in her first year of marriage.

Despite everything, ChoA remains hopeful, noting that the cancer was smaller than expected during surgery, and she was able to preserve her fertility—a step closer to her dream of becoming a mother.
