Ever Wondered What IVE’s Jang Wonyoung Would Look Like With Short Hair And Bangs? Imagine No More

IVE‘s Jang Wonyoung has often been sporting long hair since her debut. Even during her IZ*ONE days, her hairstyle remained pretty similar. While other members like Kim Chaewon hacked off most of their hair once they re-debuted, Wonyoung stayed loyal to her long, luscious locks.

Curious as to how Wonyoung would look with a different style, her fans took it upon themselves to edit her hair into something they felt would be both suitable but also a drastic change. They gave her bangs and a neat bob.

The result was phenomenal. Wonyoung looked like she popped out of a youth drama.

The look was surprisingly sweet on the star, highlighting her youth.

She can definitely pull off the style! The see-through bangs are also a new spin on the edges she sported during “After Like”.

In less than half a day, the original tweet with the edits went viral, with over 1.7 million views. Yet some fans believed that her long hair is part of her signature look and that it’s so iconic it should not be taken away.

Multiple netizens have also compared the look to Haruko in Slam Dunk.

Yet imagination became reality one day when Hapa Kristin, the contact lens brand she endorses, released pictures of Jang Wonyoung with nearly the exact same haircut as Haruko.

While we all know she wore a wig in the pictures, we’d love to see Jang Wonyoung challenge the look for real some day!
