The writer even went as far as to beg Wonyoung to return to her old style, where her forehead wasn’t hidden away, describing her current bangs as “suffocating.”
Please… it’s unbearably hot right now, set your forehead free… You have so much hair and your bangs are way too long… Can’t we just get rid of them, please? It’s already driving me crazy imagining you shooting concept photos and music videos with those suffocating bangs. Wonyoung…
Why… why did you get bangs in the first place?
Please come back. Please just sweep those bangs away. I’m begging you, free your forehead, I’m down on my knees…
We were good, weren’t we? Back when you didn’t have bangs, we were both happier.

The post struck a chord with many users who agreed that the full bangs were not the most flattering choice for the summer months. Some argued that the hairstyle made her appear overheated and weighed down, especially with the amount of hair and volume on the sides.
Others, however, came to her defense, pointing out that Wonyoung remains beautiful regardless of her hairstyle.
- “If you must have bangs, at least go for see-through ones… thick full bangs actually have a nerfing effect ㅠㅠ”
- “She’s pretty.”
- “She’s pretty with or without bangs.”
- “Why does it matter whether she has bangs or not? She’s beautiful either way.”
- “She still looks stunning with bangs, like the original post says. I do prefer the no-bangs look, but I think the ‘hot’ look may also be because of the volume on the sides. Just pulling her hair behind her ears and showing her forehead on stage already gives off a much cooler vibe. Like in this preview, she’s just too gorgeous no matter what.”
While the bangs are a noticeable change from her usual look, Wonyoung has never been afraid to try something new. Still, this reaction shows how strongly fans feel about even the smallest shifts in styling.
