I’m almost convinced no one actually hates Leeso but rather she’s just a scapegoat ready in the chamber so that when called out haters of Wonyoung can point to another IVE member they also “hate” Think about it. You come off more unhinged if your hate is targeted towards 1 person vs a group

Recently Liz did solo live where she sang karaoke casually. I thought she sounded good and that people would praise her. But majority of comments were "too bad her company is focusing on visuals" "and then there are Leeseo and WY lip syncing" "She has talents unlike her members" These people are actually villians.

[@TT-ee1vv]

They're trying to justify their hate on Wonyoung by painting Liz as a victim. But the thing here is that they're not "fighting for Liz", they're using Liz and the other members as reasons to hate on Wonyoung and indirectly "destroying IVE and discouraging new fans from stanning them". They don't actually care about Liz, even as she is given opportunities to grow her image.

[@dfasdfgdsfdf588]

I feel bad for Liz and Gaeul bc most of their 'fans' are just IVE haters... They don't actually support them in any meaningful way. They just use the as tools to give the other members shit. If Gaeul and Liz had a exclusive brand deal, I bet they would buy anything and when the brand dropped them, they would blame Starship. They remind me of Luna's stans in f(X) using her to shit on Sulli&Krystal and then not supporting her solo activities in any way.

during the height of the strawberry moon lipsyncing fiasco, wonyoung went on pm late at night and told dives that she gains strength from us and if someone is giving her a hard time she always thinks "i have dives. you're jealous, right." it was a very weird and concerning message, especially when you remember that at the start of 2022, wonyoung trended for her words "i don't care. you are you, and i am me." after ive landed on thailand for gda, she went on pm again and said that she doesn't feel well but there's nothing she can do. it's clear that the intense ongoing hate train has changed her a little. i hope 2023 will be a lot kinder to ive, even if the start has been the opposite.

Being told you need to stop acting childish when you’re a child. Let’s not forget the pressure of making your fans happy and staffs who are relying on YOU for their jobs.

[@2FullMoons]

I wanna touch on the favoritism part as a DIVE who follows their content. It is bull, and the people spreading this are not even IVE fans cause the reality is, DIVES don’t complain of Wonyoung being favored because we know these allegations are exaggerated. The outfits situation is so ridiculous and cherry picked because if you watch all their stages you’d know how many times other members get the so called ‘stand out outfit’, not to mention that the ‘better outfit’ is a subjective opinion. Second of all, literally all the members have solo projects and activities, Rei recently had a SOLO VOGUE JAPAN COVER, do people realize how huge that is? Gaeul had her own solo cover recently and became brand ambassador for a clothing line, Yujin is the face of Clio makeup which is one of the biggest brands in Korea, this to name a few. The girls are not treated poorly and disregarded, that’s the opinion of someone who clearly doesn’t know anything about them. Not to mention that the reality is this is a business, Wonyoung is the most popular member so of course brands and publications will REQUEST for her to work with them. That’s how business works, Starship is an agency, they make the connection between artists and brands, but the brands are the ones that CHOOSE to work with those idols. Check every IVE social media page, Wonyoung always gets the most likes, this is not about mistreating the other members, everyone gets the opportunities that are presented to them. And who is in charge of that? YOU, you want Liz to be on Won’s level of business opportunities? MAKE HER JUST AS POPULAR. People act as if Starship is actively hating on these girls when in reality they are simply providing what the PUBLIC wants. And don’t get me started on the ‘they hate her’ claims, girl, you CLEARLY don’t watch IVE content, don’t make us laugh.

@🌙Loona🌙 She was literally just enjoying her strawberry! How is that suppose to make her a bad person?

[@Anna-yy5zw]

not a fully formed thought, but honestly, I think the reason Wonyong is so hated is because she is hard to project oneself onto. Female idols are most popular with a young female audience when these fans can become attached to them by self-projecting onto them. Yet, Wonyong has received a lot of jealousy from that same demo(having people's fave male idols fawning over her does not help her be liked by stans either). While Wonyong should be aspirational in the same way as the bp girls are, with her brand deals, etc, she is almost too perfect for young K-pop stans to pretend that they could be like her. She has always been pretty, rich, skinny and popular and seemingly nice. Not to mention, her more cutesy presentation lacks the bad girl cool factor of Jennie and Lisa that would make her less spotless and feel more powerful and in charge (though almost no female idols have much power in deciding their image). Out of jealousy, they bring her down to try to make her more accessible/relatable by making her flawed eg a mean girl with an ed. Oops I wrote a mini essay, hope it makes sense

[@sarabeatriz5569]

I think you actually hit the nail in the head with this one. Kpop fans (mostly international) seem to be obsessed with the idea of an idol being relatable, funny and authentic. What they don't realize is that this "relatability" can also be a type of persona assigned by the company, just like being the badass one, the cute one or the pretty one (like in Wonyoung's case). Unfortunately, the way Wonyoung is branded is basically a magnet for weird jealous people

[@gorgeousgal9845]

Thank you for making this video. Here's a take: People are using the other girls of Ive to put down Wonyoung... You know casual peer pressure, to create fanwars. No need to put down other girls to praise your faves. Groups like Fifth Harmony have had it enough. Gaeul's 'stans' piss me off the most. Instead of calling out Starship, they are busy blaming Wonyoung for it. Line distribution, outfits, screen time and everything. She actually gets decent lines, not some random words for 3 secs or just a 'hey' like other groups (cough Kep1er cough). Wonyoung is also the center of the group, she won Produce 48 and debuted as the center, it's obvious that she will receive most promotions and sponsors. "ItS aLwAyS ThE PrEtTy GiRlS", come on!!! Why don't you spend your money and time on hyping up your girl then, instead of paying for some hate comments? If talent matters the most, go and support them then!!! Of course, this industry is toxic and pretty privilege exists(literally everywhere), but sending death threats, bodyshaming a 17 year old, and making money on "PiCk mE" TikToks and shorts to satisfy your insecurities, won't change this industry... Just saying, correct me if I'm wrong

[@limelightdebut]

I do agree that all IVE members should get equal opportunities to show off their talent BUT when anyone besides Wonyoung gets an opportunity to show off their talent, antis and solo stans tend to ignore it just to paint Wonyoung as the villain yet again. I often see people complaining about Liz not getting enough opportunities but during the MMA(or MAMA awards I don’t quite remember) she got a solo opportunity to play ‘Eleven’ on a piano which she did flawlessly but again everyone just ignored it. She also collaborated with Yoon and Yuqi(who are both very successful 4th idols).Gaeul got a solo dance break I believe on one of the big awards shows.Rei became the 1st 4th gen idol to cover Vogue Japan. I remember seeing a tiktok a few weeks ago of someone complaining that they give all solo opportunities to a girl that can’t hold a note( it was after the leeseo and Wonyoung scandal).

[@yoon9521]

Correction: Rei isn't just 1st Kpop idol to grace Vogue Japan cover but she's overall 2nd. No idol ever graces Vogue Japan cover other than Lisa and Rei. This is huge, especially since she's a rookie of 1 year, despite being a Japanese, but of course haters chose to ignore it.

Exactly this, especially with Liz. People are painting this narritive that Liz is being pushed aside since she gained weight because she didn't get enoough lines in after like which is ONE SONG. But since after like, Liz has had more solo gigs since she did at debut. Like the piano solo and collab, She didn't get any of that last year when she was popular. And I'm also pretty sure that she got her first solo magazine cover since after like. Why do they want her to be a victim so bad.

[@yoon9521]

@@ccsbm208 "when there's a villain a group, there's a victim too", haters have that kind of mindset.

[@kellyb7561]

dude something else i've noticed is that you literally cannot compliment IVE ( especially Wonyoung) without people immediately comparing them to other groups to soften the compliment. literally last week i was trying to say that i think people forget that wonyoung can serve face well and that is a talent, and the immediate response is "well shes no Jihyo or Jimin". no one is saying she is??????? people just love to shit on these girls. who cares if they aren't as talented on paper as some other groups, they're still out there doing their thing and slaying and getting more wins than your favs!

Rei has proven multiple times that she can sing. She’s the third best vocalist in I’ve. The reason she didn’t sing the note in eleven was because the lyrics sound like “Dive” so she would replace the word to show appreciation to her fans.

[@Satellit3]

What worries me is that the hate might actually be getting to them; Wonyoung stepped down as the mc of music bank right after kbs started to fuel the fire about the whole lipsyncing thing even tho before she seemed to love that job, making me pretty sure that that was the reason she left, and that makes me worried since she might have came across some of the countless hate comments she was getting. I genuinely hope the members are doing fine and don't get actually affected by this whole hate wave: anytime something happens stans swear they have learned yet here they are again repeating the same old mistakes :/

[@evanwang1203]

the hate wonyoung gets pretty much just boils down to one thing: she’s young & pretty. people get insecure and in return they turn that insecurity into hate and throw it towards her. it happened to jennie, & it’s pretty much been happening throughout the course of history of the entertainment industry

[@macieparmenter4544]

For me, K-pop is more of an experience than just music. There's the dance, fashion, group activities, and a community.

[@Emma-pg9sf]

im more worried about Leeseo than i am about wonyoung at this point. cuz leeseo is younger, and she's getting made fun of to the point where she's become a meme. plus, her individual fanbase isn't nearly as massive as wonyoung's is. i think people need to watch out for her, seriously.

[@TT-ee1vv]

I think the hate is slowly shifting to Leeseo too. Imo, both Leeseo and Wonyoung are the most hyper feminine members in the group... Notice how in kpop, female kpop idols that are hyper feminine and elegant tend to be picked apart.

[@dhglowlightblue]

I am worried too. When they first introduced her, I saw the similarities between her and WY (cute, feminine, debuted extremely young). One day, when she becomes more popular, the hate train will hit all at once. WY will no longer be a punching bag, because the haters realize they cannot break her. So, ofc it will be Leeseo next since unlike WY, Leeseo still hasn’t learned the ways of the industry yet. She doesn’t know how to mask her true feelings and naïveté 😅

[@Maria-je6er]

The hate is unreal at this point. There was recently once again a post by another KZbinr about Wonyoung's body and how 'concerned they are' and of course the comments were vile. One person went as far as putting blame on Yujin, as the leader, for Wonyoung's perceived ED and it made me sick. People truly want IVE to be the villains and for no apparent reason whatsoever...

(that sounds awful, i know.) but wow, kpoppies love finding a new girl group to hate. im saying this as a boy group stan. and they love hating female idols. and other comments have brought up cases such as jennie and even sulli and that's exactly what i think of too. this is disturbing behavior on the fans part. i dont care if wonyoung lipsyncs while doing a fucking solo, at this point- bro, what excuses this hate on someone who entered the industry as a minor??? someone who's still so young?? who gives a shit about the lipsyncing at the end of the day, is the world ending?? shes not a doctor who's career involves life saving, its not that serious, be fucking for real

[@joannar2079]

i also think theres an interesting problem thats almost a dilemma or paradox in the kpop world. idols are being exploited. fact. some idols can improve skills and sing live more. also a fact. we dont know idol's health situations or other factors making their lives hard. another fact. so basically, fans are so fed up over nothing, that things get ridiculous at a point on both sides. yes, kpop idols visuals shouldnt matter more than singing, so the companies need to do better. however, the companies...dont really care. however, fans care way too much and repeat the same criticisms even in lighthearted contexts. if i said 'i like wonyoungs voice', what do you think the replies would be? you guessed it, malicious as fuck. even if i wasn't saying anything untrue, even if i was paying a compliment, my own opinion.

[@joannar2079]

i do think ive can improve, though people criticizing group dynamics are kind of goofy. i like group dynamics please dont get me wrong but why should that be more important than the music??? i do think idols in general shouldnt be lipsyncing while sitting down. (i dont care about them doing so when dancing, but thats my own controversial opinion). however, nothing warrants this much hate on a group, let alone one person. these are the same hypocrites who cry about idols' mental health when things are revealed later. do not be hypocrites. for the love of fuck

if Wonyoung wasn't in IVE, they wouldn't get as much hate as they have now and that's really sad because you can see how insecure and jealous people are of her to the point that they hate her and her group for every little thing they do.. The things IVE has done so far would never get hate if it was another group doing the EXACT same thing they did. if the strawberry thing was done by, for example Winter, it would've been simply seen as cute and adorable. when the lipsyncing while seating (which has been done by thousands of idols throughout the years) were done by Lesserafim as well, they never got called untalented, useless, pretty faces, got death threats, laughed at etc. but IVE did. IVE constantly gets called coworkers because they're all quiet and don't do activities together everyday but Nmixx who are all loud and enjoy games but clearly are not close with each other get called best friends. if anything, Nmixx are what I'd call co-workers and IVE friends.

just started watching... but one quick thought... why do we still call these toxic people "K-Pop stans" or "Netizens" and not what they are... "bullies" (or "trolls" or "toxic idiots")? Same goes for all self-proclaimed fans of individual artists that throw hate around or behave toxic against other artists or fandoms. Those are not "real" fans. They're just bullies that happen to choose these specific social groups as an excuse to bully others. If there was no K-Pop (or K-Pop wouldn't be so popular, therefore guarantee attention) than it would be something else... like soccer or anything really.

[@kumimochi]

It's sad that for some reason the only way the IVE hate will stop is if the toxic kpop stans have a new target 😭

[@akamesb4540]

I think Fifty Fifty is kinda becoming that target

[@iekha_triples7718]

In my 15 years as kpop fans... Nothing change much, it just since kpop massive popularity worldwide... We got more of those "bully" and the internet work so fast, as fast as the hate train.... I remember when SNSD debuted, they're so popular that others big fandom can't take it and decide they want to give them the "Black Ocean". Haters, all the same. I just hope the IVE members are strong enough to overcome all these hates train.

[@vimiex8165]

Now we have tiktok and twitter where people gather to bully and shit on idols they pick everyday 😭 its really worse now

[@jlolxd]

what's even worse about this is when people provide valid criticism about ive, it gets overshadowed because of the unnecessary amount of hate they already get.

[@cupofcoffeeplease]

Thank you so much for making this video, as a dive I thought I was doing something wrong by being they’re fan 😭🗿

[@Chaewonified]

Lets not forget about how people use Wonyoung and Yujin's pre-debut fame against the group. Who gives a shit if they're only famous because of IZ*ONE?

[@koizakura7]

the amount of hate ive gets is actually ridiculous, even i get sick and tired of seeing it all. I just hope the girls are okay

[@elena_c241]

These antis are so hypocritical too; they will turn Ive into their personal punching bag and hate on them for every single thing they do and then preach about idol's mental health. They want to protect minors in the industry but still find the time to make fun of Leeseo acceptance speech.

[@chuubry]

ive and blackpink are so similiar. loved by everyone till it comes to them being more successful. the way everyone turned their backs on bp after d4, the same way everyone did w ive during the award show season. you hype the group up sm, give them sm love, then when they get the success (bcs of you!) , you hate on them?? make it make sense. bp starts getting hate unprovoked, blinks defend, blinks are toxic ! ive starts getting hate unprovoked, dives defend, dives are toxic! and obviously both fandoms get terrible reputations, OTHER fandoms start ganging up on them. armyonces for blinks, and fearnots x neverlands for ive. its so annoying, i wish blinks and dives would understand each other's situation.

[@quainntrelle]

during the early days of IVE everything was normal, like everyone loved the debut song and they were happy Yujin and Wony were able to debut again. then suddenly everything took a turn... and I don't even know when and why it happened. they try to villainize these girls and make it look like they're plotting against each other and making baseless assumptions like "leeseo is jealous of wonyoung" or "wonyoung's trying so hard to run because she doesn't want gaeul to be center" and all that bs, to them being co workers and picking out scenes out of context and making it look like they despise each other. is just so annoying, like are you that bored?? also there has been yet again another accusation against wonyoung "racing" towards the award during MMA (?) and people were like "the mc just gave it to her" like hello what else was he supposed to do... it's also always their own fandom hating on them especially hating on wonyoung, trying to bring her down to compliment other members (especially gaeul and liz) as if it was wonyoung's fault what the company chooses for her and the other members.

[@61bee]

haven't started the video but i was waiting for something like this cause even as someone who doesn't really keep up with ive i can tell the hate they have been getting is ridiculous! it's honestly just sad

[@ediiixy]

Girl I feel like it could be a huge company that tried to snatch wonyoung after iz*one but she rejected and they’ve been trying to sabotage her ever since then, because there was NO hate for wonyoung when you was in izone

[@legallyyblonde]

dives actually found a few hate vids on tiktok that are sponsored. we're already suspicious of the algorithm because every ive hate vid can easily reach 1m views, but seeing vids that have the "paid partnership" tag below was even more weird. we've been sending proofs to sse but we haven't seen any action from them.

SO TRUE

[@Wheeinthisbit]

bro i died and came back to life to comment . laughing at the ive member pyramid. 🤣🤣

[@-Desire]

I have a theory that a lot of Kpop stans superimpose themselves with their biases and ults. So if their bias is the best vocal/dancer/prettiest visual, or if their ults are the biggest groups of all-time/have the most daesangs or awards, then _they_ are the best. The "this group isn't like the xxxxxx they're so refreshing" and "this 2nd/3rd/4th gen group is the best group to exist and *I'm* their stan".

[@atlas0gaming]

wony has been my bias since izones debut and after ives debut rei became my bias too. i love all the members and they are one of my favorites. but all the hate just really takes the fun out of it. there is so much hate and passive aggressive comments. i try my best to avoid any fanmade content about them bcs i just dont have the energy to deal with all the bullying. i hope they get tired of it soon

The fact that Starship doesn’t do anything to stop this hate bothers me most.

I personally think IVE has better stage presence than NMIXX. NMIXX stares directly into the camera and aren't as good as their dance practice videos. I think IVE shows more consistency and have different facial expressions. I liked this video!

Recently during the strawberry moon controversy KBS released a video with a title slamming Wonyoung and Leeseo about lip syncing. As in KBS the company that Wonyoung is an MC for on their music show. Asking if she really deserves to be a singer because she lip synced. Are they pandering to the masses to get views and support? Or something like that? The IVE girls just get unnessecary hate fr

[@user-of9su1ou2i]

I was flipping through some shorts after watching this video and every 2-3 videos were about IVE “being rude” and comparison videos between IVE’s (“bad”) vocals and those of other 4th Gen ggs. I usually just swipe past those bc I can’t stand most kpop shorts and it could just be the algorithm redirecting me to IVE since I’d watched this video but it really put the whole situation into perspective. Ppl are still making those videos bc it gives them clicks and views and lots of the ppl watching them truly believe that IVE are awful for one reason or another. There is no real reason why they should be the victim of most kpop KZbinrs, tiktokers, or fans in general. I hope that others will also take more active steps in protecting groups like IVE bc this has been a never ending cycle for so many groups and individual idols and it’s extremely damaging !!
