The video was shared with Vogue Korea's official Instagram on October 21, Wednesday. The video features IZ*ONE members Kim Chaewon, Jo Yuri, Kim Minju, and Jang Wonyoung.

"Playful laughter, pouty lips, rough and dark eyebrows, the ability to attract people easily. Check out the November issue of "Vogue" to see the blooming days of the girls Chaewon, Yuri, Minju, and Wonyoung."
It appears little to no editing was done to their skin, showing how flawless their skin is. Each member has two different looks in the video.
To start, Chaewon is seen with minimal make-up, focusing more on making her skin look glossy and glassy. The idol is seen with messy, mismatched braids and is wearing a black mini dress and bots. In her next scene, she is seen with neater hair, with sparkles on her face as she rocks a gingham outfit.
However, an overwhelming amount of Korean netizens expressed their dissatisfaction over the concept that they went within the pictorial, pointing out how odd it is and how it overshadows the beauty of the four IZ*ONE membres.
Check out the top netizen comments here:
"I don't know how I feel about this one..."
"Why would they do that with such pretty girls?"
"It doesn't matter if it's high-fashion or not, it just looks messy."
"This is too much. Does the stylist of Vogue Korea have any ill-feelings against IZ*ONE?"
"I can't even laugh. This is so weird."
"This really surprised me. They are so pretty, so why would you do this?"
"I think this is different, so I like it."
"Wonyoung looks alright."
"I think they look pretty in this video."
