One of the many reasons why ILLIT was accused of plagiarizing NewJeans is due to the styling that the members were given for their debut. Along with a similar aesthetic with their clothing and makeup, many people believed that all of ILLIT’s members having long, black hair like the NewJeans members had at debut wasn’t just a coincidence, and that it was an intentional move to boost ILLIT’s publicity.
At this point, there have been so many accusations of plagiarism and denials of said plagiarism between HYBE Labels and Min Hee Jin that a lot of K-Pop fans aren’t even sure which side to take anymore. However, it appears that the ILLIT members are starting to move away from their debut aesthetics, and maybe it’s the start of them being able to make a more unique niche for themselves in the K-Pop industry.
The members of ILLIT have recently been seen with new hair colors, which have sparked rumors that they may be having a comeback in the near future. One of the more dramatic changes was made by Minju, who went from black hair…
… To blonde-ish hair seemingly overnight.
The new color has been getting mixed reactions from people, with some commenting that they think she suits darker colors more while others think her visuals let her pull off any look.
Others wonder if this could be an in-between stage in her hair styling, since the shade looks almost green in some lightings.
Here’s how people are reacting to the new look from Minju, with a lot of variation among their comments.
What do you think of Minju’s new look?
