IVE’s Makeup and Styling in New Photos Sparks Significant Controversy

IVE is facing backlash over their new profile pictures released ahead of their upcoming album.

The photos dropped recently as the group prepares for their comeback later this month. Fans noticed new profile shots replacing the old ones when searching IVE.

Enlarged versions of each member’s photo surfaced on theqoo, sparking major criticism online.

Netizens slammed the photo quality and styling, especially the makeup. Yujin’s look was praised, but Rei’s styling and added face stickers and gems drew heavy hate.

Criticism was also aimed at the overall shoot and Starship Entertainment’s aesthetic choices.

“No, but honestly, bringing such pretty girls and then taking photos like this is a skill in itself.“

“No, but why did they shoot it so badly?“

“Rei’s photos didn’t come out well, but the styling is totally my taste.“

“I thought, ‘It’s unique… it’s pretty,’ and scrolled down. Then I realized, oh, this is for a profile… that’s kinda hard to understand…LOL“

“What’s with Starship’s sense of aesthetics… seriously, what is this selection?“

“Are they doing this to Rei on purpose?“

“The makeup is the worst… why did they stick something like that on her eyebrows…“

Additional backlash focused on makeup choices.

“Except for Yujin, everyone’s flaws are emphasized.“

“Can they please stop doing that kind of eye makeup? Even if it’s for a concept, geez…“

“I want to wash their faces for them.“

As the criticism grows, fans and netizens await Starship’s response on the controversial visuals.
