Why do people HATE Jang Wonyoung?

From singing, dancing to eating and even just breathing, Jang Wonyoung has never failed to stirred up the Internet and for that, it’s not an exaggeration at all to say that she has now surpassed BLACKPINK’s Jennie to become the most contentious, and probably even controversial, female idol of all time. At first, people only bashed her for questionably taking over the center position in Produce 101 but as time passed and Jang Wonyoung also gained more exposure, she has been found as the center of countless controversies on the Internet. So why does everyone hate her so much?

As someone who has worked in advertising for the past 10 years I can tell you that Papa John's Pizza controversy was actually intentional NOT by Wonyoung but by Papa John's themselves and the ad agency in charge of making it. The whole point is to go viral and clearly they were well aware of the strawberry controversy of Wonyoung and wanted to capitalized on that fact so they instructed her to eat that pizza in that fashion in order to create controversy and guess what it worked as everyone is talking about Wonyoung eating Papa John's Pizza. And that was the whole point.

[@taryn5345]

I don't think it makes sense for people to say that she's hated just because she's a "visual queen" or because she's pretty. Every gen has had a visual queen. From Sung Yuri, to Yoona to Irene or Jisoo, but none of them got the amount of hate that Wonyoung does and I think a large part of it is because of the persona that we all see. None of us know how she really is behind closed doors, so I don't want to say that her personality is bad. But there are definitely things that she does that is slowly annoying kpop fans. From very obviously rushing past Gaeul and other members to get the center position in pics, to not bowing properly to idols on MuBank, to the overdoing of expressions that don't seem genuine. Additionally, Starship stays setting her up by consistently giving her the best outfits or more lines in IVE's songs over the groups main vocalist. The mixture of it all is slowly making people look at Wonyoung in a bad light. Which was never the case for previous "visual queens". Speaking for myself too. I used to adore Wonyoung and never understood the negativity around her. But recently, I see myself losing more and more interest in her because her personality just isn't that desirable to watch anymore for me. International fans make up a large portion of kpop fans as a whole. And recently, idols with easy going, humble and humorous personalities are drawing more fans. If Starship or Wonyoung don't change, I don't see Wonyoung being as hyped in the future as she is now. Edit: there are over 70 damn replies here. If your reply is put into paragraphs or looks like an essay, there's not way I'm reading it 🙃 Maybe start your own thread then if you have so much to say...

Wonyoung was a maknae back in Izone era, so everyone protected her from the hater. Now, she is not maknae anymore. She needs to understand how much pressure she can get to stand in the center of the group. Being the center, it means more spot light, more fame, more popular, but at the same time it’ll be more hate. Everyone already knew that she’s beautiful but her vocal or her dancing skill is something. For a 5 years idol, I think people expect more than just visual. Looks at Sakura, she got so many criticism for her vocal. At least, she put a lot of effort to improve it, but in Wonyoung case, people don’t see that effort. Starship ent should know better what public want from her, but they ignore it. It feels like Starship try to play with fire to gain popular for IVE. Wonyoung is a victim of poor management or poor marketing plan.

Excuse you. The blackjack wars still give me ptsd 😂😂😂 I think nowadays people are multistan so it's less intense between groups but also means any individual from any group becomes fair game. I guess pick your poison situation. Side note, since you're 2nd gen, I think you realized this already, that one day people will realize how iconic Wonyoung's cringe is. Standing out in a sea of idols is hard and somehow this girl keeps surviving and thriving. I don't care since my loyalty is to 2nd gen so it's sincere when I say: I hope she doesn't back down and keep continuing whatever she's doing. Same way Hyuna (4minute) kept continuing pass the haters. She had ATLEAST 2 eras of extreme hate that I remember. One for messing up in 2010 and oppa style 2012, plus continuous hate for being too sexy, breaking up 4minute, etc etc etc. I still remember her crying from overwork and people got annoyed. Her parents telling her they love her despite what people say back in 2009! She kept going and became an icon.

That's what it means to be a celebrity. Getting the public attention, being it good or bad. Celebrities are not normal people like you and me. Being in the showbiz, means you are seeking attention, living off it. Those who commit s, usually are the ones hitting rock bottom, and mostly fame related, and have empty lives to compensate for that. She is now at the peak of her career and she seems enjoying it fully. She also can anytime just change a couple of things, and she will be totally ignored by haters, but that also means losing one big way of getting massive exposure. Its really easy to be nice, just start by her members and be genuinely nice to them. So unless she quit first, don't worry about those things. Overreacting.

In wonyoung's case is definitely something professional. If you look at it, it's just an accumulated bunch of silly things. Its the amount and continuation that's triggering people. Ex: there are instances where i see a fandom calling out someone disrespectful toward their favorite artist, it happens all the time. One slip or misunderstanding or whatever, but it doesn't really happen again, and it's already forgotten. Wonyoung isn't helping her case, cause it happens again and again and again... If i'm a father and my kid looking up to someone like wonyoung, so how am i supposed to teach him manners without being hateful towards her? To prove she isn't the normes and what/how should one behave. That's the responsibility bestowed upon him, specially in Korea, where public figures have soo much advantages, but on the other hand soo much to account for. Cause they are the society 1st row and face.

[@misha21olivia]

Wonyoung is a prime example of what can happen if you debut children. Since I*ZONE, Wonyoung has been praised for her looks, tho she also got praised for her personality, this was bc she was a child and knew how to "let loose" and be a child. Wonyoung has always had pretty visuals, Her I*ZONE members, her management and probably even normal non kpop people has said that she looks gorgeous, so as a kid, naturally, you will of follow what gives you the best benefit or what makes the adults around you happy, which is to show how pretty she is. Wonyoung has been in training since she was 13, getting told that her visuals are pretty and that she should keep looking pretty, getting directed in how she can look her prettiest on camera. now she's 18, only barely reached adulthood, and all her childhood life she's been guided in how to look her best at almost every angle, so naturally, as this praise and encouragement hasn't stopped, she can now detect herself on how she can look her prettiest for the camera. just look at the strawberry scene, she makes glances at litterally every camera when taking the bite of the strawberry before actually biting down on it fully. As a child you would mostly follow what the older people told you to bc you were a child, now that she's an adult, she sees how happy it makes her company to see her looking pretty, so ofc she continues to do so. its a very natural response to have in a work enviroment. Wonyoung is hyperfixated and aware of how she looks, bc of how she was brought up being in the spotlight at SUCH a young age. I don't blame Wonyoung for her bahaviour, I blame all the adult people around her for brainwashing her into thinking that all people care about is her looks. I really hope Wonyoung realizes that people will love her just as much even if she "let's her guard down" for a bit. as a former Wiz*one, I miss Wonyoung's playful energy. yes she was a child in I*ZONE but the playfulness she had wasn't ONLY bc she was young. And now in IVE Her spark is slowly fading away bc of her hyperfixation on looking pretty. It's like she had her personality AND her visuals, but bc no adult praised her on her personality, she decided to abandon it everytime she goes on screen, which is very sad. Love you Wonyoung 💜

It's very possible to dislike someone because you don't like their personality. And the fact that so many people, out of the thousands of her fans, have noticed this and have decided to un- Stan her because of this, says something. Don't you think?

Regardless of anything, you should always choose to ignore an idol rather than hating her, if some idol is not giving you the vibe you need, no need to bash her, she certainly don't deserve that. Also Starship should pull her back a bit, they are really making complete use of her fame and I don't think Wonyoung even gets to time to sit and think quietly or to spend quality time with her group mates. Also they should resume IVE 1,2,3 quickly, the group through different activities will grow even more closer and put rest to coworkers allegations.

Rapper but people should realise a person can read fast but that doesn’t mean she can rap&sometimes she even lip syncing which I can notice and she is getting more and more slim which actually bad as the age 18 is still a growing age and eating less or gaining less weight can make your body weaker in old age and since she is slim and some even call her skinny or skeleton a far away distance can make her look old because if you notice her hands it looks very old as you can see her bones which is mostly common is,old people.but here is my advice even if a idol smiles or look very young or very nice even in live or in recordings We don’t how the are in actual life I am nOt hater just my fact

[@svetajkp]

I stop being a kpop fan for a while now and I don't know if hating real people had become an ok thing in kpop fandom,but my god why is an 18 year old getting so much hate. Her being the center,having so many commercials and always being pretty is obviously her company's idea and project. Wonyoung managed to become the centre and one of the most popular members of a super successful group,which basically meant a lot of possible profit for her company,so they decided to exploit her. Wonyoung became popular in the industry from a very young age,which probably resulted into a attention issue,where Wonyoung doesn't feel comfortable when she doesn't receive attention or something,and now her company makes her do a lot of activities,they minimised the practices, because she would still be successful even with flaws,and basically made her the face of dark side of kpop: an exploitated kid, who have attention issues and who is obsessed with look,being the most hated person in the industry because of the unfairness and clear favoritism.

[@alicebetraty4522]

People acting like the problem is Wonyoung's personality truly have never watched a single izone or ive content. It's ridiculous. The only reason you dislike her is because she makes you insercure. She's pretty and cute, she knows it and plays off of it. So what? Literally all idols do that. And everyone of them get praised for their confidence or being extra expect for Wonyoung.

I don’t think that there is only one reason why she gets so much hate. To me, there are a couple of reasons. 1, people who generally are jealous of her. I mean she is really pretty and popular. So no wonder that some people don’t like her. 2, she doesn’t really let lose. You can see that she tries really hard to be perfect at al times. This can come across as someone who tries to be “pick me” 3, she is pushed by the company. This can create some problems. Especially, amongst the fans. I don’t think that there is anything wrong with trying to look good, but letting your hair lose once a while can help a lot. It would show fans and people in general that she is a human being. Just like everyone els

I'm not a fan or hater of Ive or Wonyoung in particular but I agree with you mostly about points 2 and 3. I really loved the video for Eleven and played it so much because it seemed more balanced than all their new videos. It's really number 2 and 3 for me. It's not about being pretty. Lisa is really pretty but she does not have the behaviour of 2 and wasn't being pushed by the company. So she got the reputation of overcoming adversity and being genuine/can laugh at herself. Jennie didn't give off the same aura as Lisa so people could not relate to her and Wonyoung reminds me of that; only worse! Cuz at least Jennie looks like she tries to avoid the negatuve spotlight. It just finds her. No one minds people who are pretty... they just mind when it seems that that's all there is to it. Wonyoung turned me off Ive which is a shame cuz I'm a multistan

When you're an idol you always have to be wary of cameras and you have to keep that perfect image up at all times. And it's not just her most idols never show their true selves in front of the camera. Some even have specific personas they have to act like in front of fans and cameras. Idols can't act human if fans don't stop treating them like objects and hating on them when they make a single mistake or do something they dislike. Like the strawberry and pizza thing with Wonyoung humans are all unique so we do some things in different ways. Wonyoung ate the strawberry the way she wanted to and people are hating on her because it's not the way that they wanted her to eat it like. If she was ever gonna act like herself she probably won't now because of the constant stream of hate she gets for everything.

Honestly, I’m really worried for her mental health. She’s always been strong and positive. Regardless of all the hate she gets, she still worked hard and puts on a smile, she’s a really strong person. But she’s obviously seen the comments about her. We’ve seen what extensive harassment and hate has done to idols in past, like Jennie, Hwasa, and Sulli (Rest in peace, she was an angel 💕), and I’m worried about what the hate will do to Wonyoung. She she’s always positive, and she always seems happy, but the hate is obviously getting to her. People are so quick to say that she’s just a visual, and offers no talent to Ive and Iz*One (disbanded), but they forget that she was just a 14 year old girl who wanted to live her dream as an idol. She’s been working hard constantly since she was just a child to achieve the success she has now, yet all people notice is how she’s pretty. They invalidate her hard work, and paint her as though she just woke up one day and was famous. Yes, sometimes she does act pretty. But that’s her job as an idol isn’t it? The pizza thing that just happened, that was advertisement! The entire point of a commercial is to capture people’s attention and encourage them to buy what they are selling-in this case pizza. And that’s exactly what she’s doing-Advertising. The way that she eats may be cringy, but the amount of hate she gets for it is entirely unnecessary. If your so pissed off by her eating, just don’t watch..? The solution is simple. People criticize everything she does, it’s like they’re looking for a reason to hate her. I did research a bit about the Bowing culture in Korea, but I’m not Korean, so I won’t make any comment on her bowing or not bowing. I believe that anyone who’s not Korean shouldn’t comment about it either, because we haven’t lived their like they did, we don’t know how the culture works, so it’s not our place to comment. Finally, She’s just an 18 year old girl, and she’s been in the industry since she was 14, from that age to now, all she’s been told is that she fits the beauty standards, and she’s just pretty. To the point where she constantly feels like she needs to look certain way to please fans and netizen, but that’s not the case. She’s a sweet, talented and strong person, I will support her no matter what! I hope that eventually the hate dies down, because I’m genuinely worried for her.

[@kris4520]

Im not a fan nor an anti, i just happen to see the topic popping up again and again and took interest. Without all the small things being taken out of context and stuff, its quite simple: Times are changing. Someone else wrote it here too. The times where an idol thats always picture perfect and trying so hard to be flawless is generally liked are over. People want to see flaws and want to see more "realism" and authenticity, and groups delivering that are quite successful and liked for it these days. And im here for it, its about time. She is absolutely not that, even from an outsider point of view it comes across as very stiff and not natural. The need to look perfect in every angle, every second, makes lots of people uncomfortable. Its "uncanny valley" so to speak. Does that mean she has a bad personality? No. We dont know her. But it also comes across as very artificial.

[@nothing_to_say_18]

If people really have hated her because of her beauty then i think sullyoon would have been the most hated girl not wonyoung

[@ToBeAditi]

She's young and she's learning. When I was her age , I made many mistakes that hurt others. Plus I still make mistakes because I'm a human. The mistakes she did was already repeated by many idols, but were left ignored. At this point, I blame starship. There is no point of hating her, as she might already is under a lot of pressure. Remember what cyber bully can do to a person?? Remember sulli?? I don't understand what these jobless netizens are doing in their life as they have no other work than to spread hate against her. I'm not a wonyoung stan, but I respect basic human etiquette. Let her learn, let her grow. Being a critique is not bad, but hating her is not justified, she she never hurt anyone, she never mis behaved. Just focus on your life more than wonyoung

[@carlosgrim5394]

I mean you can’t really compare yourself to her situation tho, she’s been in the spotlight since 13 and in a country where the visual of an idol is everything, the people loved her for it and she continued doing it, the girl did nothing wrong at first so people would drag her for anything unfortunately her forgetting to bow was the only valid reason for people to drag her

[@shu-porangporang.linos.]

it's so sad to me that this poor child gets so so much hate just for surviving in one of the most toxic industry out there. she does her best. she does her best to be the girl people want to see. she puts so much effort to satisfy everyone by checking all the beauty standards (bro she's so thin i pray to god she doesn't die from heart failure) but haters are always going to find a reason to pick on someone - especially someone as beautiful and successful. i wish her to escape this industry one day and to feel liberated from all the artifices she's been suffocating in.

[@MeganSin]

I do think wonyoung is a bit of a try hard but this that said, i think it’s more like starship making sure she garners attention because she is their star idol. Plus add to the fact that she has been an idol from the age of 13, she probably has an altered way of thinking because she knows that where ever she goes there will be a camera on her at all times. On the topic of the eating thing, I remember watching a clip of izone and it was pointed out that whenever they eat, it seemed that they were only allowed a bite or 2 on camera to avoid the girls from really chowing down and to take that into consideration and probably how starship is most likely hammering home to her that her image is everything and that she needs to be seen as perfect because they are inventing a lot into her, that’s where I personally think this “cringy” behavior comes from. I feel like a lot of this behavior is like how cube treated hyuna and 4minute. They made the group about her and barely gave the other girls attention. Ultimately i feel bad for her because i don’t think she’s able to show much of her real self because she’s forced to care about her public image whenever there is a camera on her especially because at the end of the day, she’s still a young teenager.

[@MeganSin]

@@yjwnism I don’t doubt that she’s also purposefully doing things ott for attention. All publicity is good publicity and what not but I personally believe that starship is just hammering down that she needs to be more image conscious since they are putting everything on her and also feeding into her narrative of I need attention, I am the center, I am the face of ive, I am the it girl of gen 4. She currently was more free and fun loving during the izone days. She’s now a look I am sophisticated and adult but also don’t forget I am cute too but also sexy but don’t forget I am also rich and chic. If that makes any sense. Also I’m not a big wonyoung fan myself or even an dive (I pretty only like gaeul and Liz) but I think for me it’s that I don’t want see people bully a teenager even if that teen is a bit much

[@gaogerxiong9842]

The hate is out of hand with exposure on the internet, anyone can hate for dumb reasons. The problem is people are obsessed with hating her and bragging about it just for a little human interaction. It's not even that deep, when you get to know her she's a sweet bunny, but when you don't; anything goes through hater's minds. She's also so low profile and squeaky clean, people have to evil-edit her to get people talking for the views.

[@BeBossTV]

True! And now that it was reported that Sojang also hired people to write hate comments about Jang Wonyoung, it's even clearer how people would go extra lengths just to satisfy their jealousy. The hate at Jang Wonyoung is obviously people's problem, not hers 👍🏻

[@jinsooa007]

not lying but i'm so tired hearing that people hate idols because they're jealous. come on, even kids are making more money than we do, do we hate those kids? we don't coz they act according to their age. Wonyoung don't act like her age, now don't tell me she is just a teenager. even teens nowdays knows how to act properly and don't make it feel like fake. she's beautiful and she don't need to show it through acting, she is still beautiful without doing anything so she should be more focus on her skills. diehard fans says who hate her all are jealous. dude not all the people are jealous bcoz she is successful.

[@xxmysrsxy4161]

Dude she is getting hate for everything like they have a problem idk why, They also hate her for being pretty. Remember how she got hate for eating a strawberry. She is her, you are you. Stop trying to make Wonyoung feel bad and make fun of her.

[@wise5746]

Nobody hate her for thousand plastic surgeries that she done to look pretty !! But the people hate her for her greedy selfish behaviors apart to degrading the other members in many occasions

[@for4verjess]

I never said anything about plastic surgery or anything

[@tridisha2340]

She is not hated because of her looks. Eating pizza strawberry is ok, eating in a weird way is also fine but she tries so hard to fake it by acting cute. Can't she be normal for a minute or even for second. Many idols are there who acts cute in kpop but they are not hated the way she gets hate. People would have loved this girl even more if she acts normal. I feel like other ive members are more talented than her but she is always treated like the superior one. She is indeed attached to her center position. she always want to be in the centre come on let the other girls be in the centre too. Now this is something which i feel. In 4th gen i have seen many female kpop idols with great vocal skills dance skills rap skills. I am not actually 4th gen fan i am more towards the 2nd and 3rd gen. But i know many 4th gen groups and watch them. Wonyoung is an average vocalist and dancer. She is not even good at rap but she gets more importance than the other girls both by ive's fans and their company only because of her visuals and her fame which she got from izone. No hate to her but she is not the ultimate IT girl of 4th gen. She might be popular she might be fav of many people visual wise she is definitely the IT girl but talent wise she is not. Thats the truth 4th gen has better singer rapper and dancer even many idols are their as beautiful as her.

[@wonybread]

we don’t care anyways wonyoung 4th gen it girl

[@--TIRAMISU--]

“Wonyoung is obsessed with the center position” IVE has official positions they stay in. It was not narcissistic. It’s her job. She’s the literal center of the group. Y’all want her to disobey the company/ manager???

[@thekpopworld8816]

The proofe of she gets hated bcuz she is wonyoung is that nobody mentions leeseo in the lipsync controversy its always wonyoung

[@nnnn-sc2im]

y’all gotta admit that most of why she gets hate is because of misogyny, when male idols do the same things as her no one hates on them

[@ring287]

I agree she is preety also i agree she is too obsessed to make herself look preety sometime I felt cringey.....

[@tjekker4274]

Why are people overlooking wonyoungs dancing skills, if im correct she had a dancing position in iz*one. Also i think the way her dance looks might be due to her weight. Also wonyoung wasnt rushing, they act as if she was going so fast when she was walking at the same speed I really dont understand her hate, like bro be fr dont these people have anything better to do w their lives?

[@slaypa]

the height were her problems, in iz*one she need to dance extra because the height difference is much way noticieable than in ive

[@Crystal_9799]

i don't hate her but at the same time i don't like her. as a teenager i can say that she is surely under pressure to look pretty everytime because she is being praised for her beauty by literally everybody.

[@imfine301]

I don't think it's because she's pretty, I think she's the problem. she's already stunning and cute why does she keep trying way too hard. I feel like the fame just got to her head and she's become more narcissistic with her being the center and successful at this young age and all. honestly it's cringy to watch her eat, dance and sing, and obviously fake. but she's still young as time goes by she's gonna grow up and change positively hopefully.

[@AZ-vg4nr]

So i was never a iz*one stan I'm stanning ive since debut I'm not gonna lie wony caught my attention first the girl is pretty with or without ps idc She has aura and stage presence idk shit about singing or dancing but her vocal is sweet and she's a better dancer than many many kpop idols Her personality has always striked to me as sweet and elegant never pick me or rude i have no idea why ppl hate her so much when I've seen other idols do the literal same things and get appreciated she has shown her true personality multiple times but y'all turn a blind eye towards it Tbh i don't see any valid reasons to hate her Remember hate is a very strong emotion should be projected of the person has done something very offensive u can find her cringy don't like her vibe can't just get into her or her group then don't The thing about how the hate accelerated is pretty obvious she a easy target just don't spread hate

[@Snowdive_cinna]

I agree

[@nikitamoon7589]

Any reason to hate or criticise her lmao😭

[@jhopehobi5156]

Out of millions of fans there are few people who spread hate for no reason and they are quite less in number and you'll find these kinda people in all fandoms but in Wonyoung's case there are a lot of people who criticize her and there are only few of them who genuinely admire her while the rest have neutral opinion for her including me, and there is no way people can hate someone for being pretty , there are lots of female idols out there who are more prettier than Wonyoung yet they never recieved the amount of hate which Wonyoung did so claiming that people hate her just because she is pretty is completely baseless now most of the people would say 'she was being forced by her company or she became a trainee at a very young age and that affected her way of thinking so she acts that way' well Wonyoung is not the only visual in k-pop and she is also not the only idol who is told to look pretty on camera all the Idols are told to look pretty on camera looks matter in k-pop the reason why people feel uncomfortable when they watch her is because she over exaggerates her actions she tries to steal the spotlight everytime and that can not be overlooked,some fans ignore this things but not all of them do so infact most of them are concerned about her people only praise her for her visuals and if someone more prettier than her debuts in k-pop people would definitely get bored of her Visuals and her popularity will drastically decrease so she needs to improve her skills to keep up with the popularity

[@b3autyyoung]

Simple explanations for all of these: 1- if she doesn’t act cute, people will call her immature and disgusting. If she is cute, people will call her a pick me and bully her behavior (also calling her immature) 2- she doesn’t have an obsession with the center. there are standing positions for the group, and wonyoung is obviously the center of IVE. Therefore, she is REQUIRED to stay in the center. 3- wonyoung doesn’t lack skill. She has improved on singing a lot, and her dance is just gorgeous. Literally nothing more or nothing less to say about her dance. It’s perfect. Plus have you heard her deep voice when she was singing live? It was beautiful 😍 Not a hate comment! Just true facts!! (And explanations)

[@elina9271]

Of course she DON'T deserve hate. Y'll are acting like she is the problem when you'r the real problem. Have you ever use ur brain and thinking of why she wants to should be in the center or why she eat in that way, can it be like STARSHIP ENTREPINENT force her to do so. I know she's the "popularest" member of IVE, but mostly of her (so called) "fans" are also her haters.

[@tellmeaboutit2328]

I'm not a girl group stan and just discovered her about 2 hours ago. At first I was intrigued by her beauty. Idk if she's natural, don't care but I've never seen such a beautiful woman before. So I checked out some of her performances and short videos in the yt shorts. But yeah I get how people hate on her. I won't say that she deserves it since all I see on cam maybe very different from who she is irl but when I tell you I felt uncomfortable watching her even talk.... I'm not kidding. Her every moment looks so planned and forced, when she smiles and/or looks into the camera it felt so uncanny. (TMI : I have raging paranoia and I had to cover myself under blankets and pillows) So anyway, I can't say anything until I actually know what she's like irl. She appears narcissistic I see that too. But still I won't judge on that since, again, things might b diff irl. (TMI : I have a narcissistic friend who was sent to therapy because she became too paranoid and obsessed over her self worth. Believe me when I say she punched me across the face that one time cuz she felt small and threatened. Love her. I hope she gets better.) As for the strawberry and pizza.....the strawberry, I saw it before and didn't mind if since I thought she was just like that. Saw the pizza.....yeah right I am not having lunch.

[@ikshitayadav4827]

I don’t listen to IVE and I recently learnt about Wonyoung- I just feel like she should get some room… like she’s working so hard, trying to be perfect which then doesn’t turn out well but hey she’s trying. And her company has more control on her and kpop idols are manufactured and marketed so it’s the same with her. I just feel that even if she turns out cringy and unappealing, we shouldn’t hate her for all that because she’s still growing and she’s just doing what her company wants (plus other idols are doing the same). So yeah, I don’t want her to feel useless or lonely because of the hate she’s getting, the image she’s trying to put, that’s part of the industry.

Wonyoung knows how to use her Beauty. K pop world is no scarce of preety face, but wonyoung stands out cuz she attracts viewers, she wears beauty as an accessory, she knows her expressions well and is not scared to use... And that's her talent. Secondly wony is an easy target to hate Ive. Ive has gain too much in very little time (being a dive), i accept they are not the ideal group and don't have a strong dance or voice skill ("Yk group of JUST ✨visuals✨) so them gaining so much(which they deserve) makes people unsettle and targetting of their weakest member started, same thing had happened to itzy (Lia), bp (jisoo), and many more, the difference is just there fandom were united enough and protected them us dives are not succeeding cuz we have so many Ot5 fans.🤦‍♀️
