ITZY's Yeji stuns in sleek, sophisticated new short hairstyle

ITZY's Yeji has stunned viewers with a new take on her short hairstyle.

On an online forum, Yeji caught attention with a stylish semi-layered bob, bluntly cut just above the chin. The jet black color and sleek cut complemented her sharp gaze and charismatic presence, both on stage and in her selfie.

In a short clip, Yeji is seen smiling at her back-up dancer, prompting one fan to comment:

"Yeji smiling while looking at the dancer unnie… that’s some insane girlboss energy, I’m begging, let it be me."

Netizens described Yeji’s look as "looking like a gorgeous game character" and said that "for a second" they thought she "wasn't an idol but a model."

Some also remarked that the overall vibe reminded them of aespa's Karina, and that the catlike image paired with voluminous short hair suits Yeji’s personal concept well.

More reactions include:

"Oh... surprising, but the short hair suits her better than long hair?!"

"Ha, total goddess vibes. She looks amazing."

"Yeji would probably still look good even with a buzz cut."

"Wow, unnie... unnie!"

"Her shoulders are so pretty — you can tell she’s been working out hard."

"I hope she tries acting someday. She’s insanely gorgeous..."

"Wow, it looks so good on her."

"She looks like she was born to be on stage."

"Is she AI or something? This is insane."

"Wow, I can’t even remember what she looked like before. That sharp bob is her most legendary look, way better than long hair."

"Crazy... marry me."

"Yeji has no bad hairstyles. Everything looks good on her, but the more her face is visible, the prettier she looks."

"Whoa, she’s so pretty. Her nose bridge and face shape are unreal, and her gaze is incredible too."

"No but seriously, she’s not just pretty — she’s beautiful..."

"Wow, she looks like a video game character."

"I feel like a Narsha-style short cut from Brown Eyed Girls would look amazing on her too... even if it’s just with a wig."

"She looks like one of those customized computer game characters; this is crazy."

"Yeji must have super thick hair — even with a part, her scalp barely shows lol."

"Among all current girl group idols, there are lots of pretty ones, but I feel like she’s the only one who’s both iconic and uniquely beautiful."

"Not even joking — I think she’d pull off a full shave too."

"Her visuals are insane. That bob is perfect on you, Yeji…"
