IVE Encounters Sexual Harassment From Korean Men Following Viral “Upskirt” Videos
IVE is facing massive backlash after a fancam showing them performing went viral on YouTube with shocking sexual comments flooding the section.
The controversy began with a rear-angle video of IVE on stage gaining hundreds of thousands of views. Instead of praise for their performance, the YouTube comments quickly filled with explicit and disturbing remarks targeting the members.
Some of the comments included:
- It’s a total royal feast today.
- It’s weirder if you’re able to watch this without doing it.
- Ha…Fck, I can’t resist, Leeseo.*
Fans and netizens were horrified by the explicit nature of these comments, especially considering Leeseo is a minor.
On Nate Pann, screenshots of these comments spread fast. Many users condemned the comments as sexual harassment and called for legal action.
Jang Wonyoung’s popular so people talk, but the real issue is that Leeseo is a minor. This is sexual harassment. Even if it’s on YouTube, this could be grounds for legal action since she’s a minor. The excuse that they probably chose their own clothes only works on adults. For a minor…

Leeseo’s a minor… Why are they doing this to her?

Fans are demanding stricter YouTube moderation and better protection for idols against these kinds of predatory comments.
The situation is ongoing, with many calling for YouTube and other platforms to remove the offensive remarks immediately. We will continue monitoring the situation as it develops.
