5th Generation Girl Group’s Outfits Spark Viral Backlash

Hearts2Hearts is under fire for their latest live performance outfits. Fans and netizens slammed the group’s styling as messy and mismatched, questioning if this was some kind of deliberate “nerfing.”

Photos from recent stages show members in seemingly random outfits that don’t harmonize. Some reactions say the looks even feel like a “punishment” rather than coordinated styling.

Netizens commented heavily on the cordi’s choices, sharing mixed feelings about the polarizing trend.

“I think SM deliberately nerfs their hair, makeup, and cordi early in their debut, then gradually improves their styling as they gain more experience.”

“They do well with basic styling, but when trying for a quirky, kitschy vibe, their sense of style just doesn’t work. I get what they’re aiming for, but the top and bottom don’t blend naturally, they just clash and look disconnected.”

“Feels like they tried to copy the styling of KiiiKiii, ILLIT, Choi Yena, and NewJeans’ custom outfits but failed miserably.”

“Sure, sometimes the outfits don’t work, but overall, don’t they dress them pretty well? Even just watching the style mashups, they usually pick nice clothes.”

Despite the backlash, rookie styling often starts out rough as stylists figure out the best fit for the members. Fans are watching to see if Hearts2Hearts’ looks improve with time.
