5th Gen Idol’s Dramatic Transformation Sparks Backlash

ILLIT‘s Moka recently underwent a visual transformation…but not everyone is a fan.

In new concept photos for ILLIT’s 1st single album “Not Cute Anymore,” she emerged with blonde hair for the first time.

The dramatic change makes her almost unrecognizable at first glance.

While some fans love the new change, others are critical of the particular shade bringing out her “flaws.”

Meanwhile, others were more caught up on her vocals rather than her new look.

• “Tone-deaf Japanese idols are ruining K-Pop.”
• “Go practice singing, you tone-deaf girl.”
• “I like Moka, but I don’t think blonde suits her. Minju didn’t look great with red hair either…”
• “It’s kind of meh.”
• “The hairstyle is pretty, but the blonde doesn’t suit her;; it makes her facial flaws stand out.”
