OH MY GIRL Mimi's 'Hip' Style: Hit or Miss?
Now, Mimi has fully taken off her innocent and lovely image as OH MY GIRL after taking over the entertainment industry with her hip and chic style.
Contrary to her colorful hair before, Mimi stuck to brown and would often do a braided hairstyle.
Different from her fair skin, she also did tanning to achieve her current copper skin. Doing this many times, her style now leaves a strong impression enough to become her trademark.
In the online community, her recent photos were also shared under the same post, but the article encountered greatly divided comments.
Seeing her early debut photos, people commented that they prefer this look on her.
- "Mimi's cheerfulness is more perfect with her innocent and lovely debut than her current styling."
- "I think I like her early debut days more."
- "I wish she could work according to the Oh My Girl group concept."
Some, on the other hand, prefer Mimi's current aesthetic.
- "I like her now that she has become hip in line with the trend these days."
- "She looks unique because it's the style she wants to do."
- "I like this better because she's doing the style that she prefers now."
Meanwhile, Mimi, who has now taken over from music shows to entertainment shows with her vibe, is loved by the public for her quirky and honest four-dimensional charm.
Aside from her schedules with OH MY GIRL, she's also expanding the scope of her individual activities in earnest after joining the popular reality show "Earth Arcade," produced by PD Na Young Seok's team.
