Popular Third-Generation Idol Faces Backlash For “Inconsiderate” Styling
Recently, OH MY GIRL’s Mimi has been a hot topic among netizens.
On August 27, an online community post garnered attention regarding her styling for the group’s Killing Voice video.
She’s being like this because she wants to, right? She stands out like a sore thumb in the full group shot on the ‘Killing Voice’ video. Of course, she is a senior group and is entitled to her own opinions, but fans always have a negative response when she comes out like that. I feel like she also needs to try and listen to the fans.
— OP
In the video, Mimi is seen with a curly hairstyle.
Many felt that her overall styling and hair didn’t match the other members.
Netizens felt that she was taking it too far considering this was a group activity.
- “Honestly, if she was always pushing her own style from the beginning, I wouldn’t be that bothered. But seeing her after getting some attention through variety shows, she only looks like an inconsiderate person.”
- “She looks like Michol (a character from the Korean series ‘Dooly’).”
- “I thought how bad could it be before clicking this post…but looking at it now I’m at a loss for words…”
They felt that if she was a part of the group, she should try to at least match the concept.
- “Looks like not even the company can stop her.”
- “She’s still an idol, shouldn’t she match the team’s concept?”
- “Wow those lips are from the 2010 trend…”
- “What can you do, that’s the best she can do….you guys are too much.”
- “Why is she like that by herself? There’s something called a concept.”
- “I guess she can go solo then.”
- “Even the tanning is ok but the curly hair is just…it doesn’t match with the concept.”
- “She just doesn’t match the OH MY GIRL group image. I get that she doesn’t like that style, but if you’re going to promote with them at least match…”
- “I see so many posts like this..is this how this group’s fans are? Trying to make the members blend together? Or is is just like this on this forum.”
- “Is she purposefully ruining her image…?”
Previously, she was under fire for allegedly not caring about the group. Netizens were angry that she posted a YouTube video around the same time the group’s comeback video was uploaded.
