IU has recently stepped into a new role as the global brand ambassador for Estée Lauder, and it's causing quite a stir online!

While the top brass at Estée Lauder are over the moon about IU joining their team, the fans have been airing their views, and they're a mixed bag.

Justin Boxford, the global honcho at Estée Lauder, is all praises for IU's global appeal and her knack for connecting with fans through her music and social media. Kyumoon Lee , the big shot at Estée Lauder Asia Pacific, also commended IU's talent, passion, and dedication.

IU herself is thrilled to be part of Estée Lauder, a brand that's a hit with women all over the globe and was founded by a trailblazing female leader. But what's the word on the street?

IU's photos for Estée Lauder have become a hot topic on community board, but the reactions are split down the middle:

"I don't think this brand suits her. And her ash blond hair? Not a good look for beauty."

"Her blonde hair doesn't scream Estée Lauder. Black or brown would've been better."

"She's gorgeous, but she doesn't fit the Estée Lauder image."

"Not feeling the hair, idk."

"First time seeing a brand pick the wrong face. Maybe if her hair was healthier and she ditched the contacts, she'd fit the brand better."

"Am I the only one who likes her hair in these shots?"

"Darker hair color would be better."

"I don't know, it doesn't really fit her."

"She doesn't suit this brand."

"She looks pretty to me :)"

What are your thoughts?

BLACKPINK member Jennie made a special surprise appearance at Zico's concert, leaving fans and even Zico himself in shock!

On November 24, Zico celebrated the 10th anniversary of his solo debut with his concert, "ZICO LIVE: JOIN THE PARADE," at the Olympic Hall in Seoul's Olympic Park. The event was filled with excitement as Zico performed for fans after a long time.

Zico kicked off the night with his hit songs like "New Thing" and warmly greeted the audience. He said, “It’s been so long. I missed you. A solo concert feels so different from other events. I’ve really missed being with you at a concert like this.”

He added, “‘Join the Parade’ is my first solo concert under my name in six years, so it’s very special to me. Plus, this year marks 10 years since my solo debut. My journey in music has felt like a parade, and tonight, I want to show you all of it in different parts.”

Zico thanked his fans, saying, “A parade always has spectators, and I think that’s its most important value. You are my wings, and I’m the body. Let’s fly together and make this the hottest place in the world tonight!”

The crowd erupted with cheers when Jennie unexpectedly joined Zico on stage during his performance of "Freak." Without any prior announcement, Jennie gave a brief but unforgettable performance, lighting up the stage before leaving just as suddenly.

After the show, Zico shared how surprised he was. “I didn’t know Jennie would come on stage. Suddenly, the music director told me through my in-ear monitor to stop singing, and I started imagining all kinds of things. Then Jennie appeared, and I was completely shocked. I even did a stage here that I hadn’t done at the MAMA Awards!”

This concert marked Zico’s first solo event in six years since his 2018 "King Of the Zungle" tour, making it a night to remember for fans. With Jennie's surprise appearance, it became even more unforgettable!
