i-dle‘s (formerly (G)I-DLE) leader Soyeon is once again at the center of intense online scrutiny as her recent visuals have gone viral.

The post singles out her latest public appearance, where she wore a denim mini dress with a deep neckline and showed off her bold pixie haircut.

The caption contained scathing remarks about Soyeon’s recent styling and makeup.

i-dle’s Jeon Soyeon is seriously ugly;;;;

With celebrity-level hair and makeup like in the photo below, she can at least look a bit more like an idol, but it’s like she’s desperate to show the whole world how ugly she really is. She wasn’t good-looking to begin with, but now she just makes herself even more unpleasant to look at.

However, while the post received hundreds of upvotes, the comments told a more divided story. Many netizens in the comments jumped to Soyeon’s defense or pointed out the hypocrisy of the original poster.

• “Still better than the male idols you fangirls are obsessed with.”
• “You say you hate how she looks, yet you go out of your way to save her photos and post them on Pann and even copy-paste them word for word on Instiz. So much effort for someone you can’t stand.”
• “She looks like Sakura before plastic surgery.”
• “Okay, we get it. JYP idols are the best.”
• “She’s prettier than LE SSERAFIM, though?”
