Despite this, the combination of heavy stage makeup, done to suit the darker concept of “Either Way,” and the bangs casting shadows her face, seemed to give her a more unnatural look than usual.

Even though Wonyoung looks completely beautiful in the comeback, netizens were divided over the new look. They felt the hair looked unnatural and awkward on the star.

• Pretty.
• I don’t know what to say. F*cking lovely. She looks like a doll.
• Wasn’t she blond not too long ago?
• Her lips and the corners of her lips — why do they look so unnatural?
• What the. Why does her face look so awkward?
• I f*cking love her bangs.

Either way, no matter what netizens say, Wonyoung is absolutely winning with her face card!
