IVE‘s Wonyoung is known for her long, luscious locks. She’s had the same long wavy locks ever since her initial debut with IZ*ONE.
Fans have been clamoring to see her try a different hairstyle. The furthest she went was dyeing her hair blond once. Fans even used photoshop to see what she would look like with a bob.
On March 9, 2024, fans realized that she had snipped her locks. A photo of her from the back showed that her hair now stopped between her shoulder blades.
Although she wears extensions for the stage, you can see where her own hair stops.

Fans were floored by her new hair.
There could be multiple reasons for snipping her hair. It could be for a potential comeback, or to make her hair less heavy. As idols rely on clip-in extensions for the stage, reducing the weight of one’s actual hair is important.
According to fans, this is the shortest she’s ever gone.

While the length is not necessarily considered universally short, it is short for Wonyoung indeed.
