The group’s stylists are under fire after fans and netizens noticed what they called “messy” and “mismatched” styling in recent live performance photos. Each member’s outfit appeared to follow a different theme, leading some to claim the looks seemed “thrown together at random.” A few even likened certain ensembles to a “punishment,” criticizing the lack of harmony in the group’s visual presentation.
Some fans defended the group, pointing out that inconsistent styling is not unusual for rookie idols. Early in a group’s career, stylists often experiment to find each member’s best aesthetic. Supporters believe Hearts2Hearts’ stage visuals will improve with experience and time.
However, on Pann, opinions were sharply split. Comments ranged from speculation about deliberate styling strategies. Here are top comments on Pann:
- “I think SM deliberately tones down hair, makeup, and styling early in a group’s debut, then gradually improves them as the years go by.”
- “They’re good at basic styling, but when they try to go for a kitschy vibe, their styling sense just isn’t there. I get the look they’re aiming for, but the top and bottom don’t blend naturally — they just clash.”
- “It’s been like this since debut. Hard to believe the center is a former stylist. And it’s not just the outfits — hair, makeup, and concept photos from both centers are really bad.”
- “Feels like they tried to copy the styling of KiiiKiii, ILLIT, Choi Yena, and NewJeans’ custom outfits, but failed.”
- “Sure, there are times when the outfits aren’t great, but overall, don’t they style them pretty well? Even in style mashups, the clothes usually look nice.”
While the debate continues, most agree that Hearts2Hearts’ strong visuals and stage presence will keep them in the spotlight — as long as their stylists can settle on a cohesive signature look.
