Dramatic Transformation of IVE Member Sparks Strong Backlash

IVE’s Liz is facing backlash over her lips looking “too thick” and “unnatural” compared to her debut visuals.

The controversy started after an online post questioned her lip style, saying her lips used to be long and pretty but now look like “overlips.” Netizens quickly joined in, debating which lip type suits her better.

“Is it just me who thinks her lips look better thin? I think she looks different from when she debuted, mainly due to her lips. Her lips were originally long and pretty, so why does she keep making them an overlip?”
— OP

Fans shared side-by-side photos showing Liz’s lips fuller and thicker now than when she debuted.

Some said the fuller lips don’t fit her face well. Others agreed she looked better natural, with lighter makeup.

“Right? I feel like people with accentuated eyes and nose suit a thin lip better.”
— Netizen comment

“Liz is the prettiest these days, but I wish they’d stop using the over-lip makeup and making her eyes bigger. She looks better with less makeup on.”
— Another netizen

“Her face is already accentuated, so she’d look much prettier with lighter makeup. I was surprised at how pretty she looked with a bare face. Her makeup is getting more excessive.”

The debate intensified as fans pointed to her dramatic eye makeup and “too much” eyeliner and eyelashes.

“Above all else, her eyes are too much. They are already big, but her eyeliner and eyelashes are so dark.”
— User opinion

“It’s a shame that the makeup trend changed during Liz’s diet.”
— Another user

Liz hasn’t publicly responded to the comments about her lips and makeup yet. The conversation continues to stir on fan sites and social media.
