I didn't want to talk much about ps but just something obvious like veneers and make up.
As a Runext watcher, this is a huge reason why Illit's debut really bothered me. Their makeup is horrible, some of them have undergone unnecessary cosmetic procedures, and they are all wearing veneers for no reason. Their natural teeth is cute. They all looked great in Runext, so I don't understand why Belift and Hybe made this decision. This company's obsession with having 'perfect' faces is getting out of control. This happened just a few months after the girls debuted and I can't imagine how it turns out after years at this rate.
It really hurt to see Minju and Yunah especially, as they were my picks during the show.

They gave her excessive aegyosal, veneers, and an extreme overbite for no reason. Hopefully, it won't hurt her jaw in the future. But even now, she can hardly make any facial expressions like she used to during the Runext stage.

Yunah was so stunning during Runext and always stood out among the others, but now they've nerfed her. Her makeup during the Runext stage complemented her features, even when they tried soft makeup on her during the "Across the Universe" performance. Now, they are trying to make her look cute. And don't get me started on the veneers again.
Iroha and Wonhee were already wearing veneers during Runext. I told my friends that these two were already on the debut list because of that, and it turns out I was right 🤣. Moka is the only one whose makeup really suits her, and luckily, her veneers don't look as off as the others'. And one more thing, their eyebrows. Gosh, their old one compliment their faces just right.
