When it comes to aespa’s visuals, NingNing gave me the strongest impression from day one, but sometimes she still has that Chinese look to her.
Well, she is Chinese.

The change in hairstyle has upgraded NingNing’s visuals in recent promotions of aespa:

The mid-bob black hair really suits NingNing. Light brown hair looks pretty on her too.
NingNing’s facial features have been sharp since she was younger.
Looks like NingNing’s hairstyle didn’t suit her well when she first debuted. But lately NingNing has become much prettier.
