IVE's Gaeul Gains

IVE member Gaeul is currently generating buzz in Korea, largely driven by her distinctive pink hair and the 'saint' concept it inspired. This styling has resonated strongly with fans, who see it as a perfect fit for her image, leading to widespread discussion and appreciation across online communities.

Her pink hair, particularly during the 'ODD' stage performances, earned her the nickname 'saint' among fans. This look, often paired with white outfits, is contrasted with a 'fallen saint' or 'witch' concept when she wears black hair and darker attire. Bloggers have even analyzed her astrological chart, suggesting that a 'saint vs. witch' duality is inherently suited to her persona, further emphasizing the impact of her visual transformation. Additionally, a birthday cafe event titled 'Fall in love with Gaeul' in Hongdae celebrated her, offering themed drinks and special photo cards to attendees.

Local bloggers express that Gaeul's pink hair styling is considered 'legendary' and a top-tier look for her. They note her urban appearance and charismatic actions contribute to her 'Gaeul sunbae' image. Fans visiting her birthday cafe praised the friendly staff and the abundance of special merchandise, even if some, like one blogger, had limited time to fully enjoy the experience due to tight schedules.
