i-dle‘s (formerly (G)I-DLE) Miyeon is making headlines online after new event photos surfaced. A viral post on Pann criticizing her visuals has already racked up more than 21,000 views, sparking debate among fans and netizens.
Earlier this month, Miyeon attended the Maison Kitsuné 2025 F/W campaign “An Uptown City Fox.” Photos from the event quickly spread across online communities, but instead of her usual praise, many netizens focused on her appearance, claiming she suddenly looks much older than before.

The original poster pointed out that Miyeon was once introduced as the group’s “visual member,” but argued her latest look no longer fits that title.
According to the post, some fans expressed disappointment, saying they felt bad seeing her receive such harsh reactions. Others suggested that the “visual” position in i-dle should belong to Shuhua instead.

Looks like Shuhua is now the official visual— Viral Pann post
In the comments section, netizens shared mixed opinions. While some said her makeup and styling choices contributed to the criticism, others insisted she still looked beautiful regardless.
- “What’s this? Why is she like that?”
- “Honestly, Miyeon was never the visual of i-dle to begin with. It’s always been Shuhua. Not ‘looks like it’s Shuhua now.’”
- “It’s because of how her makeup was done.”
- “She kind of gives off a Young Sook vibe here.”
- “She’s still pretty, though.”
