CIX’s Bae Jinyoung Shocks With How Different He Looks Now Compared To His Wanna One Days

CIX‘s Bae Jinyoung first made his way onto the screen with Produce 101 in 2017. He made his official debut with Wanna One later in the same year. Back then, he was a mere 17 years old. His fresh-faced beauty captured the entire nation.

His main appeal was his aegyo which made his low voice unexpected.

His charms got him to 10th place during the final ranking, and he debuted as a member of Wanna One with over 807,000 votes.

He debuted with CIX in 2019 as the visual, center, and lead dancer. The group recently held its first solo concert, CIEX 1st Seoul Concert, from April 15 to 17, 2022. Fans who got a glimpse of Bae Jinyoung during the show were shocked by his new look.

He sported bright red hair and multiple tattoos. Although the tattoos are presumably temporary, they were enough to send fans into overdrive.

His baby fats on his cheeks were all gone.

This left him with pronounced cheekbones. Paired with his sky-high nose bridge and statuesque jaw, he looked completely different.

Of course, with five years between his first debut and now, it’s inevitable that he would mature and change. While fans who have been following the group closely might not have noticed the difference as starkly, to netizens that revisited the star after a long time, it was a huge shock.
