NewJeans member Haerin's teeth have become a significant talking point in South Korea, particularly concerning the appearance of her distinctive "fang" teeth. Online discussions and fan observations about a perceived change in her dental alignment have fueled widespread speculation, with many wondering if she underwent a dental procedure.
The discussion began after a July video for NewJeans' 4th anniversary showed her fangs looking more aligned, leading to laminate rumors. However, an August interview video later showed her fangs appearing similar to her debut look, adding to the mystery. During her first official appearance at a beauty brand event in September following the online buzz, Haerin was observed repeatedly covering her mouth while smiling, further intensifying public interest. Dental professionals have suggested that laminates could make prominent fangs appear softer, but her agency has not released any official statement regarding these speculations.
Local bloggers highlight the difficulty of definitively confirming any dental procedures based solely on visual evidence from photos and videos. They point out that factors such as camera angles, lighting conditions, facial expressions, and how much the lips obscure the teeth can significantly alter how teeth appear. Therefore, they advise caution against making conclusive statements about cosmetic dental work without official confirmation.
