Popular Female Idol Slammed As “Unrecognizable” In Viral Photos
Red Velvet‘s Wendy is trending on Pann after photos from her recent public appearance sparked harsh reactions.

The pictures were taken while Wendy visited birthday cafés organized by fans. Dressed in a simple black outfit with soft makeup and auburn hair, she greeted supporters and spent time at the events prepared in her honor.

However, some netizens focused on her visuals rather than the celebration.
The now-trending post with thousands of views quickly filled with extreme hate. Netizens even claimed she looked unrecognizable.

- “Stop giving Red Velvet attention lol, sigh.”
- “So f*cking ugly.”
- “That jaw is totally ridged. Koreans f*cking love jaws like that.”
- “Honestly, if you hadn’t said it was Wendy, I wouldn’t have known.”
On the other hand, international fans have praised Wendy’s body proportions and her appearance in the same exact photos.
