NewJeans Hanni's Drastic Hair Style Sparks Frenzy: 'A Living Anime Character!'

In the annals of NewJeans history, one era stands out like a beacon of style: the long-haired debut era.

Fans fondly remember the days when each member of the beloved K-pop group sported flowing, natural-colored locks that set them apart from the crowd.

Since then, the group has maintained a relatively consistent aesthetic, with occasional stylistic experimentation ranging from wigs to perms.

But it was a recent hair transformation that truly turned heads and sparked a frenzy among fans.

In their latest music video for "Bubble Gum," eagle-eyed viewers were quick to notice a dramatic change in one member's appearance.

Hanni, known for her signature long hair, debuted a strikingly shorter bob that sent shockwaves through the fandom.

While initial reactions were mixed, with some expressing surprise and even skepticism about the authenticity of the cut, Hanni's bold new look has since garnered widespread acclaim.

Speculation ran rampant as to whether Hanni had actually taken the scissors to her locks or if the daring 'do was merely a cleverly crafted wig.

Regardless of the method, there's no denying the impact of the unconventional hairstyle, which has captivated audiences and sparked a renewed appreciation for Hanni's versatility and beauty.

HERE ARE SOME OF THE NETIZENS' REACTIONS: 

It's like she came out of an anime

It's much cutter this way... If its a regular hair boob it would not make this much buzz

Hanni herself seems to like it, let my girl get choppy bob for real

She's cute, I wish I was cute like her so I could cut my hair like that

With this short hair she kinda remind me of pixie, the main character or 2000s Kdrama

The buzz surrounding Hanni's transformation reached fever pitch when she reprised the bob in the group's subsequent music video, "How Sweet," further solidifying its status as a defining moment in NewJeans history.

From viral posing challenges to glowing endorsements from fashion enthusiasts, the consensus is clear: Hanni's legendary hairstyle has become an iconic symbol of individuality and fearless self-expression.
