Fans Praise IVE’s Professionalism While Handling Multiple Difficulties During Their “Seoul Festa 2023” Stage
IVE are continually demonstrating their incredible professionalism, despite any circumstances that may arise, like when Leeseo handled a wardrobe malfunction with expert efficiency, despite having debuted less than a week ago at the time.
Or when Wonyoung injured her knee, but almost no one noticed.
I heard someone asked "are you okay?" earlier and I thought someone was feeling dizzy or tired. Turns out Wonyoung hurt her knee during the that's my girl stage and we didn't even notice cause she didn't show 😭 https://t.co/osUZVwiaBI

Or when Liz took care of a wardrobe malfunction that fans also didn’t notice even happened.

And now IVE are again receiving praise for their professionalism after their performance at Seoul Festa 2023. Despite all the issues that occurred, IVE gave a memorable performance, even as fans missed Rei who is currently on a hiatus.
Fans praised the group for giving their all despite the heavy rain during the performance.
The way KBS made them perform and fully drenched in rain at the open stage, yet they still 🔥🔥

And while fans were extremely grateful that none of IVE slipped on stage, they still voiced concern that the group had to perform with the risk of injuring themselves.
So kbs was the one who had the idea to make IVE perform in the cold RAIN with the risk of getting sick and slipping on stage. It doesn’t surprise me that they are responsible for all of the stage accidents of idols. pic.twitter.com/PTg3Bsid2W

Similarly, Yujin‘s in-ear monitor seemed to be having difficulties throughout the performance, but she still managed to give an incredible performance.

And she even prioritized her members’ safety, as Yujin made sure to tell Gaeul and Leeseo not to sit down on the slippery stage.

You can see Yujin in the 43secs mark telling Gaeul and Leeseo not to do the sitting down choreo cause the stage is wet.

Leeseo even injured her knee during the performance, but she maintained such professionalism that most fans didn’t even notice she’d injured herself.

Similarly, fans voiced concern with the fireworks that went off during their stage, as Wonyoung and Liz especially seemed frightened by them.

Fans hope that none of the members will get sick after performing in the rain.

And while, of course, they wish that IVE didn’t have to perform in such conditions…
everything went wrong at seoul festa yesterday ☹️ first the rain (which wonyoung doesn’t like because she’s scared of slipping,,, and i also heard that rain in korea is TERRIBLE) and the fireworks being really really close to them which poses as a safety hazard and leesso’s knee

It was raining, yujin’s in-ear was having problems, wonyoung got surprised by the smoke machine and leeseo’s knee was bleeding. my poor girls they shouldn’t have performed but they did amazing otherwise ☹️

They are impressed by just how professional IVE are, as the group continues to prove their incredible talent.
