Popular HYBE Idol’s Visuals Bashed Online, Sparks Divided Reactions

Recently, an online community post went viral regarding a boy group member’s changed visuals.

On December 21, a post about BOYNEXTDOOR’s Jaehyun’s appearance shocked netizens.

It’s been so long since I’ve seen him, I was so surprised because he looked like a different person.

— OP

Even many netizens were confused if he was the same person they thought they knew.

• “It’s because he smokes.”
• “Wait? Is he the Myung Jaehyun that MCs on Mnet?”
• “He’s prettier with lighter makeup and his hair down, but he seems to have a certain type of style he’s pushing for.”
• “Fans have told him to change his hair so many times, but he just keeps his eyes and ears closed to it all.”
• “He was never really handsome to start.”

However, others felt that people were jealous because of their success.

• “Crazy people are acting up again…are you guys mad because your group didn’t win the ‘Best Boy Group’ award?”
• “Other fandoms are all over BOYNEXTDOOR again…if you’re jealous, then just keep streaming and voting…your group isn’t even on the charts.”
• “I guess it’s that group that didn’t win the group award that’s bashing them after BOYNEXTDOOR won four awards.”
