Red Velvet Yeri’s Unexpected Change After Leaving SM Entertainment Sparks Huge Reactions
After officially parting ways with SM Entertainment, Red Velvet’s Yeri has been gaining attention for something fans didn’t quite see coming: her completely different style.
Yeri, alongside bandmate Wendy, left SM Entertainment earlier this year to manage their solo careers away from the company. However, both will continue to participate in Red Velvet’s group activities.
A recent viral post on popular Korean forum Pann, which has already racked up over 120,000 views, is gaining attention for pointing out Yeri’s transformation. The original post praises her new look, which seems to be a return to her earlier, more “lovely” styling. Seemingly, the old style was dearly missed by netizens.
Yeri really must’ve had a styling problem.
Now that she’s gone back to her old lovely style, she looks absolutely stunning these days, lol.
But when you think about it, Yeri’s always had a pretty face.— Viral Pann post
Photos of Yeri in soft makeup, feminine dresses, and more relaxed hairstyles have been circulating on social media, with fans and netizens alike saying that she looks like a new person who has finally found a look that best matches her image.
The viral post has sparked plenty of comments and conversation, with many pointing out how natural and fresh she looks now. Some even say the shift makes her resemble a rookie actress rather than an idol who debuted nearly a decade ago.
While some of Yeri’s past styling choices leaned more trendy or experimental under SM, her current direction seems to embrace a simpler and softer concept. Many believe this change is not only refreshing but also highlights her features in a way that previous styling may not have.
- “With this kind of styling, she seriously looks like a rookie actress. She’s so pretty and cute.”
- “Yeri really suits that princess-like styling… it looks amazing on her.”
- “She only looks pretty when she abandons her own style.”
- “Wow… it’s like she’s back in her prime.”
- “She used to go for a more mature vibe, but lately it feels like she’s switched to a more innocent look, starting from that ‘Cosmic’ hair color change to how she dresses these days.”
