NewJeans’ Y2K fashion style continues to be a major topic of debate amongst fans.

On October 21, the popular monster rookie girl-group NewJeans attended a promotional event for Coca-Cola. The girls posed for the media with Coca-Cola cans and signs in their hands.

The girls’ visuals were impressive, but K-pop fans were left unimpressed with their fashion and styling.

Fans believe a girl group of their stature deserves better and needs to be careful with their public appearances, especially when it comes to their fashion and styling.

NewJeans was previously criticized for their styling at KCON Japan.


NewJeans’ fashion has been under the critics’ scanner for quite sometime now

NewJeans is slowly but steadily gaining momentum as the it rookie girl group of this generation of idols.

Despite being only two months old in the industry, the five-member group is making waves with their fashion and styling as well. However, recently, their fashion game has not been up to the mark, according to K-pop fans.

This year at KCON Japan, their hair, makeup, and co-ordinated outfits, abbreviated to HMC in Korea, looked unappealing and unattractive, according to K-pop fans.

Fans believe it is too much of a color-attack and are not impressed with the Y2K fashion the girls displayed. Fans believe that the group's Y2K fashion is very 2000s and not fashionable at all for 2022, and since they are today’s superstars, their fashion has to be modern and trendy as well. Yet, not everyone was criticizing the fashion.

The members have been gaining attention for their new hair colors as well. Member Hyein was seen with brown hair, Danielle with pink hair, Haerin with carrot-colored hair, and Minji with ashen gray hair.

Fans are aware that changing hair colors in K-pop means a comeback is round the corner.
