Dating Speculations: The Reality Behind The Necklace Wonyoung From IVE Frequently Edits

IVE Wonyoung is facing a weird controversy over a necklace she’s been covering up lately.

The drama started when fans noticed Wonyoung hiding a necklace in her recent posts and even used an emoticon to block it out on Instagram.

A Twitter user pointed out the cover-up move:

“뭐야 녕이가직접하트임티로목걸이손수가린거임? 이거 빠순이들이 내아이돌포커스딸때나쓰는 나름의 고급스킬인데”

Soon after, dating rumors exploded online because the necklace looked like a couple necklace.

Another Twitter user said:

“Oh, they censored her necklace so it’s a couple necklace. Oh, my Wooyoung is so grown up that she has a partner now?”

Things heated up even more on November 8, 2025, when Wonyoung accidentally posted an actual photo showing the necklace. She quickly deleted it and sent fans a version with the necklace erased.

Wonyoung later told fans:

Now you don’t remember the photo I sent just now, right? Please delete it too. Tadah!

Fans scrambled to find out what the necklace was and why Wonyoung was so desperate to hide it. The truth? Much simpler.

The necklace is from Chaumet, a brand she’s had since 2021. She posted it on Instagram years ago. Because Wonyoung is currently a Bvlgari ambassador, she likely can’t show other jewelry brands.

She didn’t buy it herself or get it from a brand gift—it was a fan gift from her Chinese fans. They specifically chose the round pendant because the “Won” in her name means “round.”

Wonyoung is known to cherish gifts from fans. She wears them despite having access to expensive jewelry. She was even spotted wearing a Van Cleef & Arpels necklace given by a fan at debut.
