Fans immediately showed high anticipation about their dreamy concept, and lauded the members’ visuals.
In a Korean online community, K-Netz discussed the group’s photos when one highlighted Mimi’s beauty and personal style. They also praised Mimi’s signature braids.
But upon posting, the article shockingly amassed over 230,000 views!
The reason? She stands out “too much” because of her style, drifting away from their original innocent concept.
During their rookie days, Mimi had fair skin. But in recent years, the idol seemed to have found her personal style as she embarked on her solo activities. She started tanning and sporting a braided hair.
MIRACLEs praised the idol for this change, but some complained about how Mimi still brings her personal style even when promoting with Oh My Girl.
Commenters argued that a group should follow a certain concept during a comeback for coherence. But seeing Mimi’s recent photos, some were not impressed.
They explained that her style doesn’t fit into their princess concept and that Mimi should also adjust to balance the image of Oh My Girl.
On social forums, people started calling out Mimi:
- “Even if you look at the other members, they also like girly and hip styles, but when they’re promoting as a group, they try to match the innocent style. Even if they do the style they want when they’re not active or solo, I hope they at least follow the concept when they’re in a group.”
- “But she’s not going solo, she’s in a team, so shouldn’t she match the team concept? Mimi stands out too much by herself. Her styling is not even something that will make people say she’s pretty, seriously.”
- “If you’re going to do whatever you want, why are you in a group and why do you go to work?”
- “Her style is really confusingly weird and unusual. Why is it like that?”
- “It’s not just individual photos, idols usually change their style according to the concept. Why does she keep forcing her own tastes into group activities? I don’t understand.”
