After the recent change in her makeup, Red Velvet Yeri sparked discussion in an online community about which style suits her best.

People Recall Red Velvet Yeri 'Innocent' Visuals With Light Makeup

In a popular online community, Red Velvet Yeri became a hot topic and even created a debate among K-pop enthusiasts and netters after an internet user posted a comparison of the idol's "Then Vs. Now" photos.

In a post titled, "Yeri's makeup is slowly coming back," the OP talked about Yeri's recent style that reminded them of her visuals' "glory days."

In particular, the uploader implied that contrary to Yeri's current styling, they preferred her looks when she just debuted. At the time, Yeri showed off innocent and pure visuals.

Rather than the "hot girl" aura, Yeri used to wear either light makeup or use a bright palette that goes along well with her youthful appearance. There are times that Yeri would also showcase her no-makeup face, flaunting her beautiful straight eyebrows and thin lips.

Among her concepts, internet users praise Yeri's "blonde hair" and "black hair" era. Bringing back her early debut days photos, a lot of web users and fans, especially ReVeluvs (fandom) left comments such as:

• "I hope you get rid of the lip fillers... It looks lighter overall before getting it done."
• "She's pretty now, but at this time, this hair and makeup (Hemeko)... I miss it a little bit. I wish you could do idol hair again. Yerim's bleached hair looks good on her."
• "I thought Yeri looked the best in idol's "bling bling" makeup, but her bare face is also pretty."
• "She's legendary."
• "She's much prettier with less angular eyebrows."

"This fruit bling bling makeup suits you better than having the nude makeup. Your face looks more like an idol."

• "Please don't do the style that you like, but go around in a lovely way."
• "The 'innocent' makeup looks perfect on you. There's everything that suits you, but Yeri is pure. You're innocent and you are the only one who doesn't know."

Fans Defend Red Velvet Yeri Current Makeup Style

On the flip side, there are also fans who expressed their support for Yeri's current style. Contrary to her pure and bright aura before, Yeri opted for a "hot girl" vibe that boasts nude makeup.

Rather than having straight eyebrows, Yeri changed them to an angular ones, and fans think that she also had lip fillers to achieve fuller lips.

Despite criticism of this look, fans defended the idol's personal style and said:

• "Everyone likes the old style more. Personally, I think the current style looks good on you."
• "I prefer hot girl Yeri than the innocent one."
• "I support Yeri's current style."
• "As long as she's happy."
