However, the recent unveiling of group photos ahead of the upcoming Seoul Fashion Week has sparked mixed reactions among netizens.

While the majority of the members exuded elegance and maturity in their attire, Haerin's unconventional look drew both admiration and criticism.

Visual Evolution: Maturity and Experimentation

While some netizens praised Haerin's avant-garde choice, acknowledging that she "ate it up," others argued that her striking visuals were the saving grace for an otherwise unconventional ensemble.

The stark contrast to the other members' long and elegant looks fueled the debate over whether Haerin's outfit was a bold fashion statement or a misstep.
