Popular Girl Group Member Finally Changes Iconic Hairstyle After 5 Years

A rare sight.

STAYC‘s Yoon is known for her bangs. She has had the same hairstyle for 5 years, ever since her debut in 2020. The star has always sported bangs that cover her forehead.

The star shocked fans on May 22, 2025, when she performed without bangs for the first time. The group performed at a university festival to celebrate the summer. She went for long hair with extensions and exposed her forehead by putting her fringe to the side.

Fans were shocked to realize that she had gone without bangs for the first time since debut.
