IVE’s Jang Wonyoung Slammed Over “Rude” “Main Character Behavior” In Viral Clip

IVE‘s Jang Wonyoung is known as a fourth-generation “it girl” who has gone viral countless times.

Unfortunately, with this fame and standing, many have targeted the idol and made assumptions about her personality. These claims only worsened when stylists were accused of showing Wonyoung favoritism earlier in the group’s career.

She is also criticized for the oddest things, like how she ate a strawberry and, more recently, for having arm hair.

Recently, a viral clip sparked an influx of hate towards the idol for her “rude” “main character” behavior.

IVE have been traveling on their Show What I Have world tour, visiting fans in numerous locations worldwide.

A clip from their London show has recently gone viral, with over 1 million views on TikTok.

The video shows Leeseo wearing a crown and Wonyoung taking it off her head to put it on herself. The clip also labels Wonyoung a “pick me,” while negative audio plays as the sound.

A “pick me” is a term for someone who behaves in a certain way to attract romantic attention. While many commenters negated this label being incorrectly used, they accused Wonyoung of being rude and “self-centered.”

Immediately fans came to the idol’s defense, commenting that it was just two friends playing around with each other. This was supported by Leeseo’s reaction as seen in photos taken by a fan, showing her fixing the crown on Wonyoung’s head and smiling.

 

 

With the amount of fame that IVE has, many fans believe that the members are often targeted (like other female idols) for small, insignificant things.

Unfortunately, IVE have been criticized as a whole recently, which you can read about below.
