Netizens Praise IVE Wonyoung’s Treatment Of Her Members At The “2022 Melon Music Awards”
IVE had a big night at the 2022 Melon Music Awards, but in the midst of their victory, Wonyoung is gaining attention for the way she treated her members at the ceremony.
IVE swept up four different awards, including the daesang for “Record of the Year.”
It was a special night, as evidenced by the fact that leader Yujin experienced a very emotional moment when they won the daesang.

Her members naturally also got a bit teary, but luckily Wonyoung was there to comfort everyone as best she could. She was praised for her princess-like visuals at the ceremony…

But what DIVE are particularly proud of is the way she prioritized her members when things got emotional. The members themselves have always been appreciative of how Wonyoung is so supportive, and nowhere was this more evident than when they came down from the stage after winning their daesang.
ive girls never fail to mention how strong they think of wonyoung's mindset like yesterday everyone cried, wonyoung almost did but she held back so she can check up on everyone. hugging, caressing their backs and holding their hands while they cry 🥹pic.twitter.com/AVj7u5j3V7

Wonyoung was right there, providing comfort to the others while holding back from expressing her own feelings.

It was only after she’d checked on everyone that she finally let out some tears of her own.

Not that it had been easy to hold back. She had to make a visible effort to not cry, especially when Yujin broke into tears when accepting the daesang.
“—seeing yujin cry made me cry as well”

Yet, she still put her members above herself, holding onto Yujin’s hand as they came down from the stage.

Wonyoung may always go viral for her visuals, but she also deserves plenty of praise for her kind and thoughtful personality!
