The pink-blond hair was a huge shock for many.
The transformation was indeed a dramatic one.
Netizens couldn’t help but get excited as a hair change usually indicates a comeback or new schedule.
- All celebrities who bleach their hair look like this without edits. Once they have makeup on and do editing, it’ll be pretty. The fancams were taken raw, that’s why it looks like that.
- IU’s comeback is coming…
- The pink hair is insane. Hurry and make a comeback.
- Pretty.
- Something big is coming.
- IU pink hair.
- Wow…all the comments judging her looks LOL. I’m disgusted. There are posts here that criticize the Koreans who judge people by their looks on YouTube, but seeing the comments on celebrity posts here, there’s nothing different from YouTube.
- Something big is coming!!! Something big is coming!!!!
- Something big is coming!
A few comments did not think that the light color suited her and commented that it made her look washed out. Even so, others defended IU by claiming it was the lack of styling. In fact, blond or bleached colors shine the most on stage after sufficient makeup and lighting!
