It’s easy to imagine how these could wear a person down, but Wonyoung previously went viral for sharing that fans give her strength during hard times.
it's a bit unusual for wonyoung to go on pm late at night and she talked about gaining strength from us :( she said if someone is giving her a hard time, she can just say "i have dives, you're jealous right?" and that "everything will be okay since i have you" 🥹🥹 pic.twitter.com/PffraAcOkD

I bet you’re jealous— Wonyoung’s messages to fans

저는 스스로를 사랑하는 편입니다
질책은… 원치 않는 곳에서도 사람들에게 받을 수 있기 때문에 스스로에게는 사랑만 주는 게 어떨까 pic.twitter.com/O82Wd0ih0f
