IVE’s Rei captivated fans with a bold new hairstyle that showcased a dramatic yet refined transformation — just in time for summer style inspiration.
On Wednesday morning, Rei attended a Tod’s photo call event at the Shinsegae Department Store in Banpo-dong, Seoul.
She turned heads by appearing without her signature bangs, instead revealing a sleek middle-parted ponytail that exposed her forehead and brought out a more mature, elegant aura. The long, softly waved ponytail was tied low and draped over one shoulder, creating a romantic yet polished look.

Rei completed her transformation with a cream-toned sleeveless wrap-style dress layered over wide-leg trousers. She paired the outfit with a silver necklace, black mesh shoulder bag and subtle accessories, creating a minimalistic but high-impact ensemble. The clean lines and luxurious textures enhanced her natural beauty, while her chic back silhouette added an unexpected element that further elevated the look.
True to her nickname “Kongsuni,” Rei struck some playful poses, but the overall vibe was a departure from her usual image — leaning more toward elegant sophistication than youthful charm.
Her hairstyle and outfit are already drawing attention from fans eager to replicate her effortless summer fashion.
