Netizens are reacting with surprise after NewJeans’ Haerin’s familiar pointed canine appeared noticeable again in newly released footage, following weeks of online speculation about changes to her teeth.
The discussion began after Haerin appeared in NewJeans’ July anniversary content with teeth that looked straighter and more uniform than before.
Some viewers speculated that she may have received laminate veneers or another cosmetic dental treatment, although Haerin and ADOR have never confirmed any such procedure.
The topic resurfaced after new footage connected to Haerin’s September pictorial with Marie Claire Korea and Dior Beauty was released. When Haerin smiled in the video, viewers noticed that the pointed canine associated with her earlier appearance could once again be seen clearly.
The original community post claimed the footage represented one of Haerin’s most recent appearances and wrote, “I don’t know how she did this, but I hope people stop making a fuss about her teeth.”
However, some netizens questioned the earlier veneer speculation entirely.
One commenter wrote, “She didn’t laminate her teeth. How can you even revert to your pre-laminated teeth?”
Another suggested, “Seems like she only got braces. Anyways, she’s really pretty.”
The exact reason for the difference in Haerin’s appearance remains unknown. There has been no confirmation that she received veneers, orthodontic treatment, or any other specific dental procedure.
The filming date of the newly released magazine footage has also not been publicly confirmed, meaning it is difficult to establish exactly when any visible change may have occurred.
Still, many fans were simply happy to see Haerin’s familiar smile again, with several describing her as a “baby cat” and “kitty,” nicknames often connected to her well-known cat-like features.
More reactions include:
“Ah, so pretty.”
“Baby cat...”
“She never did it. People were just making a fuss.”
“People were making such a fuss over one video.”
“Kitty is seriously so pretty.”
“Seems like she just got braces then.”
“I thought the hate was so strange. Whether she did her teeth or not.”
“Good, I hope she stays this way. She’s too pretty.”
While the new footage has renewed interest in Haerin’s signature canine, there is currently no confirmed information explaining why her teeth appeared different in earlier content.
