SM Entertainment’s upcoming girl group, Hearts2Hearts, has sparked a wave of discussions online, with netizens calling its members “natural beauties” after seeing pre-debut photos of the group. A collage of these photos surfaced on a popular online forum, showcasing the idols’ unaltered visuals that appear to be free from extensive cosmetic enhancements, a sharp contrast to the commonly AI-inspired, heavily retouched aesthetics seen in the industry today.
The reactions have been largely positive, with many fans expressing admiration for the group’s authentic look. Some users pointed out that the group’s pre-debut images were even more striking than their current photos, which they considered to be slightly more “artificial.” However, opinions remained divided on whether the members had undergone any cosmetic procedures, with several claiming that the idols looked “the same as before” and had maintained their natural beauty.
Among the members, Ian’s pre-debut childhood photo garnered significant attention. Fans praised the image, calling it “extremely beautiful” and highlighting her natural features. This has led some to speculate that there is no significant change in her appearance over time.
The discussion also touched on the criticism faced by SM Entertainment’s girl groups, with some users noting that similar comments were made when Girls’ Generation debuted. SM has faced consistent scrutiny for favoring certain visual aesthetics, with some even coining the term “nævis look” to describe the resemblance between the group’s members and SM’s first virtual artist, Nævis.
In light of the ongoing debate, netizens shared mixed views. One person argued that while many idols from other agencies are celebrated for their “artificial beauty,” SM female idols are often unfairly targeted. Another user pointed out that these types of criticisms are a regular occurrence whenever a new SM girl group debuts, referencing the past experience of Girls’ Generation being criticized for their similar looks.
As the discussions continue, many are reaffirming their support for the Hearts2Hearts members, appreciating their natural beauty and calling for less emphasis on cosmetic surgery rumors.
Despite the speculation, one thing is clear—SM Entertainment’s latest girl group is already making a strong impression online.
