Here are some reactions from fans on theqoo platform:

• “Yeji is really pretty, but the headscarf itself isn’t attractive. It looks like the kind of souvenir handkerchief produced locally as a souvenir.”
• “Just the bandana coordination itself is not great. Because of the Y2K trend, many idols nowadays are doing it. I can endure the increase in oversized clothes and the rise of HOT looks, but the bandana feels too tacky…”
• “Feels like a mountain climbing club… but Yeji is too pretty.”
• “I like that the attention is drawn to her features. Clear facial features can be shown off.”
• “Is it really that bad? It’s not bad at all.”
• “Would it have been better if she wore a slightly larger one?”
• “It really looks like a hiking handkerchief.”
• “It would have been better if they completely covered their eyebrows or slightly raised them to show their eyebrows.”
• “The bandana looks unique and suits well. It would be even better if it were slightly raised and prettier.”
• “Even though she’s pretty, there’s a high chance that female idol fans don’t like wearing their idol’s bandana.”
• “The bandana and top don’t look good together.”
• “It’s just that Yeji is pretty. The bandana seems weird.”
• “I usually don’t like bandana styling, but Yeji seems to pull it off nicely. The red color suits her well. It would look even prettier if it were slightly raised.”

Despite the mixed reviews, one thing was clear: Yeji’s visuals were undeniable, and she managed to pull off a look that sparked conversation and attention.
