Netizens have different explanations for the changes: Some think her styling was to blame while others think weight loss changed her overall vibe.

  • “She lost a ton of weight and completely changed her styling from head to toe. Her debut-era styling was honestly legendary in the worst way because it really nerfed her visuals, so of course the difference is huge now… Her pre-debut rookie days were way prettier compared to that styling. Seriously, I think SM intentionally gives them bad styling during debut so people talk about it and generate noise marketing… Ningning has always had a pretty face.”
  • “I’m sure she dieted, but I think procedures/plastic surgery played a big role too… You don’t go from skinny to super skinny and suddenly have your ear size look that different from the front. And when your cheekbones get reduced, your eyes can look way bigger in proportion.”
  • “No, if you compare her full-body photos from back then to now, she seriously lost a ton of weight. Her frame got noticeably smaller.”
  • “But she was never around 60kg anyway—she was probably in the high 40s (kg). How much weight did she even lose?”
  • “I’m so tired of these posts analyzing people who make money off their looks. It’s exhausting.”
