However, one particular photo has sparked an unexpected wave of fury and heated debate across social media platforms.
When the photos were posted, netizens quickly zoomed in on this specific image of Haerin. After a detailed close-up, many fans became convinced that the idol had received veneers, appearing to replace her previous, natural teeth. This belief immediately ignited a firestorm of discussion. Considering HYBE’s past track record with giving their idols veneers – a practice often met with strong disapproval from fans who prefer natural beauty – it sparked huge anger among netizens, who felt this was another instance of the agency imposing changes on their artists.

Netizens Outraged: “Her Natural Teeth Were Charming!”
In the comments section, netizens unequivocally hit back at what they perceived as HYBE’s decision. The sentiment was overwhelmingly negative, with many expressing their deep disappointment and hatred for how they believed Haerin was made to change her teeth. Fans emphasized that her natural smile and “cat teeth” were a unique and charming feature that many had grown to adore, arguing that such a change was unnecessary and took away from her individuality. The outcry highlights the strong connection fans feel to an idol’s natural appearance and their desire for authenticity.
