The Untold Truth About IVE's WonYoung

[@unknownbliss3342]

She was cyber bullied since she was 13 and as the years goes by, it worsened. But this girl DIDN'T talk about it, she is always positive, bright and kind to everyone. No single soul has tell she has some rude and bad manners, everyone who knew her personally has only tell good things about her. It's so sad how people painted her bad and almost everyone is believing it.

She’s a natural center- she proved the haters wrong! She caught my eye when I wasn’t interested in Kpop in her Very Very Very performance bc I was drawn to her stage presence and facial expressions.

[@sevenbelledays7800]

Exactly, i mean i wouldn't say she's outstanding in every skill idols should have, but she definitely has the hability or aura to caught everyones attention.

[@maureencali]

@@sevenbelledays7800 during one of JYP’s idol survival shows (Nizi Project), one of his important aspects to pass the challenge is to get a cube in a category with what he calls “star power”. He says you don’t necessarily have to be a very good singer or dancer, it’s also important to have star quality and a great personality (behind the stage). So, yes, Wonyoung has that! She works her hardest in whatever job is given to her and people are so obsessed with her that she can’t catch a freaking break 😭

Ur acc not wrong, she caught my eye real fast in izone

[@maureencali]

@@lilzem ikr. I was like “hmm I’ll just click this vid randomly. WOAH?? Hey?? The expressions and ease she exudes on stage? WHO is this girl and she’s not a idol yet?! (P48). Who’s IZ*ONE? Woah. Their songs are amazing.” My first listen was actually Secret Story of the Swan as it just so happens I gained interest right when they had their comeback stage! And the song kept playing in my head so I dove deep into the elegant world of IZ*ONE in 2020. All because Wonyoung just happened to catch my eye.

[@ILOVEBEARS77]

yes liz is such a natural center!

[@tn-t]

She's literally a child, she doesn't deserve all the hate. Her being labeled "the pick me girl" bc of her expressions or personality is so weird, bc k-pop idols are literally taught to exaggerate their expressions on stage and their public persona is NOT their real character. Wonyoung just did whatever she could to both ensure and maintain her status in this damn industry, and it worked - she's indeed quite popular. Now she's super conscious in front of the camera and immediately puts on a character that she believes is "perfect." It's actually sad, as she's only a kid. Her being called out on her plastic surgery is also not it, bc 90% of idols get it. I too feel bad that she got it so young, but I know the immense pressure this industry puts on its workers. I don't know, I feel like we just need to let the kid live and enjoy her fame.

[@jkjcord762]

She just begs to be chosen.....I didn't even know any of these rumors....but the first time I laid eyes on her.....I was like...."WOW" and then I heard her sing.....and I was like "WOW " Again....she definitely belongs in the center of any group!!!!

We all have different preferences in the way we carry ourselves. And this applies to the way we eat as well. Everyone eats differently n enjoys their food differently so who r we to tell others that eating food with two hands is wrong while eating food with one hand is correct? 3) Pouting, winking too much etc etc - I gonna be really honest.. When i first see her on produce, i cringe everytime she does this. But now, i just brush it off even tho sometimes i still cant stand it. We gotta rmb, not everyone is built the same. Just because majority of us have a natural friendly smiling face it doesn't mean everyone enjoy this kind of privilege. Some ppl have a serious rbf and its not their fault that they are born this way, they can be feeling happy and ppl would ask them "Why do u look so mad?" even when they ain't doing anything. Their resting face just looks cross 24/7 even when they are not and having observe her for the past 4 years, i realise that she does have this problem. When she doesn't smile she srsly looks very cold and unapproachable. And i am sure she knows it too, like everyone around her prob tells her that, esp the company. And being an idol, u HAVE to appear approachable and friendly to the public if not they will tag u as "unpleasant, cold, ice princess, arrogant, attitude problem etc". So even tho we can't relate or understand, try to know that there is always two sides of the story and there is always a reason why ppl do what they did. And having to constantly take note of your image to appear cute and be someone that doesn't really reflect the smart, reserved, non-aegyo type her true nature is honestly is alot more tiring for her. Thats some real effort and dedication, i couldn't appreciate it in the past because i couldn't see it but now, i could and i love her so so much for it. Thats REAL effort right there and i really admire her and respect her for it. Not every idol is willing to take that extra mile and put in that extra effort because just thinking about it sounds tiring already... some idols will just go fk it and dc. Even if they choose to do that, we should respect them for it because everyone have a right to decide how they want to appear in the public's eyes.

Their resting face just looks cross 24/7 even when they are not and having observe her for the past 4 years, i realise that she does have this problem. When she doesn't smile she srsly looks very cold and unapproachable. And i am sure she knows it too, like everyone around her prob tells her that, esp the company. And being an idol, u HAVE to appear approachable and friendly to the public if not they will tag u as "unpleasant, cold, ice princess, arrogant, attitude problem etc". So even tho we can't relate or understand, try to know that there is always two sides of the story and there is always a reason why ppl do what they did. And having to constantly take note of your image to appear cute and be someone that doesn't really reflect the smart, reserved, non-aegyo type her true nature is honestly is alot more tiring for her. Thats some real effort and dedication, i couldn't appreciate it in the past because i couldn't see it but now, i could and i love her so so much for it. Thats REAL effort right there and i really admire her and respect her for it. Not every idol is willing to take that extra mile and put in that extra effort because just thinking about it sounds tiring already... some idols will just go fk it and dc. Even if they choose to do that, we should respect them for it because everyone have a right to decide how they want to appear in the public's eyes. Its THEIR career after all... not ours.

If you don't believe me think of Cha Eun Woo. That's the male version of human perfection. He would burst in tears talking about how hard it was and apologized for the dumbest things that made him imperfect. Now he said he's prioritizing his mental health which is great but when he was Wonyoung's age he went through hell but everyone thought his life was perfect just because people are jealous of pretty people and won't see their hardships...

Netizens started suspecting Wonyoung's ethnicity because she said her family doesn't make kimchi at all. That's something that EVERY korean family eats. And then some chinese fans pointed out that she was purposely pronouncing chinese words wrong when they were teaching her, but the rhythm and gestures she made implied that she actually knows the meaning.

The immense hate she gets does bother me, all of the people that hate on her are based on assumptions. Those assumptions come from edited clips or bc she’s not “being herself” which again is an assumption bc nobody in real life knows her!! She genuinely doesn’t deserve the hate, wonyoung is honestly just living and people are hating on her. From what I’ve gathered, her friends seem to enjoy having her company and staff also laugh and look like they enjoy being with her. I definitely agree that people are being payed to leave bad comments and honestly wouldn’t be surprised if articles are also payed. To me wonyoung is talented, I like her voice and she dances well too. I wasn’t even a fan of her and had no intention of being, but after seeing the immense hate I did my own research on her and was confused as to why she was getting tons of hate. Now I’m a fan of wonyoung! Crazy how things happen!😭😭

I liked Izone but only because of Sakura and Wonyoung. Producers did Sakura bad. Though I liked Wonyoung but I felt she was over rated. Even in Ive she is given more priority than others I can see that in MVs, shows dressing etc. It's really unfair. Even the popularity of Ive it's because of her. Producers are really bad. They are exploiting Wonyoung. It would have been better if Wonyoung was in ITZY or Aespa.

From Day 1, wiz*ones knew that Wonyo is super adorable and likes to be pampered by her 11 unnies, and her 11 unnies love pampering her... she's also such a sweetheart and always care about what her unnies were going through/always one of the first members to give reactions to whatever her unnies were doing. And she once mentioned that her hobby was "playing with my 11 unnies", and admitted that she once had a nightmare that she woke up to see her 11 unnies gone suddenly. But yeah also ever since Day 1 she's had haters who edited stuff to make her seem like a bad person/annoying

I'm going to be honest at first I really hated her, at first I didn't really know why but after her being in IVE and started getting more hate for the simplest things. I started to reflect why I hated her so much and it was because I was jealous she was everything I want to be. But now I admire her more then ever and I respect her so much, I honestly hope other can open their eyes to how great of a person she really is. I wish I could've opened them up sooner.

I swear to god I see so many of these hate videos for who young let me make this clear. Those who give hate to K-pop idols, you are not welcome in this community, people and companies will not be happy if you make hate comments about their idols. In wonyoungs case, she got hate comments as a minor, which is not ok. Even in 2023 I still find many of these videos on KZbin and other social media

[@d.y.5561]

Simple. People hate her because she’s pretty. She over does it with her aegyo and her expressions sometimes are forced but that’s what she has been conditioned to do. She was very young and did everything she could to debut and remain in the industry. So people need to let her live.

[@sheilamarie1132]

Can't bring a good woman down. All the staffs who worked with her commend her character to be kind and thoughtful.

[@honeydew_subliminal]

The only explanation I can find for Wonyoung's "fake" and "cocky" personality is that she acts like this because she knows she has to look pretty and cute. All idols have to do that, even though many don't. It's their job, they don't choose to do it. I know that Wonyoung and other idols can cringe sometimes, but they surely have to. Their agencies might call them out on that, no matter how insignificant it may be. In short, Wonyoung doesn't deserve all the hate she receives. On several occasions, she proved to be a very kind and grateful person. Let's continue giving love to her and all the members of IVE without differences.

[@StrawberryStarfruit9]

I never understood the hate she got for her “bad attitude” in IZONE. She was a literal child who just became a teenager and was going through the beginning stages of puberty…how many people do y’all going through all that who is constantly smiling and happy? Puberty is such a rapidly changing stage of life PLUS she was always on camera. I’m not surprised she was sometimes captured with a frown or whatever else y’all be calling “rude” facial expressions

She is neither Chinese nor Taiwanese, and her ancestors of 5000years are Dongi people who lived in northern China shandong. So she may be regarded of manchurian-chinese descent. Her nationality is now Korean. She affirms herself to be Korean and answers always firmly Korean even if she is asked to speak in chinese or maliciously asked if she is chinese many times by chinese fans. But she seems to truly love Korea. Her identity is Korean

WonYoung really is the “born to be center” girl. She doesn’t deserve all the hate comments. So what if she is not 100% Korean (she is 1/4 Taiwanese from her mother’s side). She is prettier, taller, more charismatic, has great communication skills, smarter, better vocalist than Sakura. She deserved the center position in IZ*ONE and did an excellent job as the center. IVE doesn’t have an official center but WonYoung seems to be the defacto center of IVE. She is NORMAL weight for WonYoung. So people should stop saying she is too skinny or “they are worried”. That is so annoying. WonYoung is an extremely talented and lovable person.

If you don’t want to compare or they are equally good (like, they are twins), then it’s a coin toss.

I don’t know why people hate wonyoung. Section 1 (produce 48) After the director had confessed that he had rigged the votes why didn’t he get as much hate? Even tho wonyoung has done nothing wrong and is just trying to make it to iz*one however no one had reprimanded the director for rigging the show. Plus wonyoung does not control nor own produce 48. It is just her general stage presence and improvement that made her debut Section 2 (iz*one) She had no reason to be hated on in her fancams. Wonyoung was never planning on being an idol I’m the first place we might never know what it is but it was never her plan once again I will say it. It’s her talent looks and stage presence that got her into produce 48. And if anything it’s the company to blame. Wonyoung had debuted at 13 years old because of the company yet no one reprimands star ship. They have forgotten that wonyoung doesn’t own starship and it’s simply the company’s fault Section 3 (I’ve) People still hate her even after her debut in I’ve. However when being a K-pop fan and your favorite group disbands but member or members are still active you will want to know what is going on with there life. So wonyoung was already popular even before she joined I’ve which is what happend in the first place. They reprimand her for absolutely nothing Section 4 (mistreatment from the media) wonyoung doesn’t deserve any mean comments given to her. I will say it again she did not choose this life this was never mentioned in her plan in the first place. And also when dealing with a controversy pretty much everyone sided with the media. Compared to other members like REI she was highly defended by almost everyone but when it’s comes to wonyoung nobody cared. Poor wonyoung is just trying to do her job but the media hates her for it. But if she didn’t act feminine she would get hate anyways. I’m summery wonyoung will get hate no matter what happens. Ps. Anyone who hates on wonyoung is just probs insecure

Ehm I just came to this vid after watching kdrama named Sh**ting stars. I recommend it to everyone. And why? Because thanks to this drama I realized what was happening behind the scandals. Not only the artist suffers from public hate but also the company who cleans this mess and also the journalists(they are pressured sometimes from public and in result they feed the netizens with what they want, some articles doesn't contain fact-checked information sometimes.) People judge too quickly with just speculations, even if it clicks that it may be true its never a fact until its confirmed. Now lets talk about the nationality. Well even tho she can be Taiwanese it doesn't mean that she has to speak Chinese or behave like Taiwanese people, I am from Vietnam but I live in Europe(both of my parents are Vietnamese) but I don't speak Vietnamese and don't follow the traditions. But it still doesn't matter what nationality she is since it's her personal thing, they are still human with rights to have their personal information in secret. And I wouldn't necessarily blame the company for faking their height, age or nationality. About their behaviour- like I said many times they are human, if you didn't know, we are moody, we can be angry, happy, sad and rude, thats what describes humanity, just because she's rolling her eyes or looks like shes giving bad attitude towards her members it doesn't mean shes judging or hating them. For my last words I would like to say DO NOT JUDGE SO QUICKLY, DON'T SPREAD UNCHECKED INFORMATION and BE HUMBLE AND ACCEPT BAD THINGS. You did some bad things too, but does milion of people hate you or spread false rumours about you? Put yourself in their shoes. Peace
