2000s makeup style is trending on TikTok
For K-Pop fans, the name Lee Hyori is probably no longer strange. She is often affectionately called by the public as "K-Pop big sister", "Y2K icon", "Gen 1 goddess"...
Indeed, on the Korean music map of the 2000s, there were few stars who exuded charm, personality and appeal like Hyori.
In addition to music, the "K-Pop big sister's" style of dress and makeup seems to have also become a fashion icon.
Going against the majority of idols at that time, Lee Hyori had a stylish, hip hop-inspired fashion sense that is still timeless.
This Y2K-inspired makeup style, which seemed old, has now become new and trendy with Gen Z. These Y2K-inspired makeup "transformation" clips have received millions of views and interactions.
Lee Hyori was considered the "Y2K icon" of that day.
What makes this trend more special is the background music of 10 Minutes , Lee Hyori's hit song.
Many viewers also said that thanks to this trend, they felt like they were on a time machine and returning to a "golden" youth: "I'm from the 9X generation, watching it makes me feel so nostalgic", "This was exactly the trend back then, 10 Minutes and Lee Hyori were extremely popular"...
Not only becoming a trend in Vietnam with a huge number of views, these clips also became a hot topic in China and Korea and received enthusiastic responses.

Previously in early 2023, "Y2K icon" Lee Hyori also brought this style back when performing 2 songs Hey Girl and 10 Minutes on the Sungkyunkwan University festival stage to celebrate the 20th anniversary of its release.
She wore a white shirt and skirt, combined with a large rhinestone belt and high jean boots.
This Y2K-inspired combination quickly became a hot topic on Korean forums. At that time, Korean youth also competed to wear makeup and dress in the "style of that time".

2000s makeup trends featured cool, shimmery eyeliner, glossy lips, straight hair, and healthy skin.
Not only Hyori, beauty icons of the 2000s such as Britney Spears, Beyoncé, Jessica Simpson... were also considered early Y2K style icons.
