IVE Key Visual Members Face Backlash Over Recent Performance Teaser

IVE is facing backlash over their latest styling in the Studio Choom teaser for “BLACKHOLE.”

The controversy began right after the teaser dropped. Screenshots started going viral online with fans confused and critical of the outfit choices.

Many singled out Leeseo and Wonyoung for weird looks. Leeseo’s outfit was called “too puffy and weird,” while Wonyoung’s outfit got compared to a toddler’s messy clothes.

Others said the styling relied too much on the members’ visuals instead of matching the song’s vibe.

Fan comments from theqoo include:

“Why would they dress pretty girls like this?”

“Why are the clothes like that…”

“It’s only passing because of their faces, but the clothing is indeed a pity. It doesn’t seem to match at all with the song’s vibes.”

“This is really weird. What is this.”

“Did they lose bets or something?”

“Every outfit except Liz‘s is tacky.”

Despite the debate, the performance is still gaining attention fast.
