IVE Wonyoung Faces Backlash From Netizens Over Recent Attitude Controversy

IVE’s Wonyoung is facing backlash after a recent airport video sparked debate over her attitude.

The controversy began when a short clip showed Wonyoung going through identity verification. In the video, she briefly lowered her mask when asked by staff to confirm her identity but had to repeat the action before taking back her passport and walking away.

Some netizens criticized her, saying she should have removed her mask properly from the start. Others accused her of being rude for allegedly grabbing her passport abruptly and leaving without greeting the staff.

Soon after, longer footage of the interaction surfaced, shifting the narrative.

Fans who watched the full video argued the criticism was blown out of proportion. They pointed out Wonyoung was polite throughout and handed her passport over with both hands.

Watching the full video makes this even more ridiculous. Wonyoung handed over her passport with both hands and was perfectly polite. F*ck. But suddenly she’s being called rude because she received it with one hand and walked away? Who’s actually being rude here?

Others noted the staff member also handed the passport back with one hand, making the rude behavior claims seem nitpicky. They added that crossing her arms was just a habit.

You crazy bstards, what are you going to do if crossing her arms like that is a habit? Fck LOL. And the staff also gave the passport with one hand and so she took it back with one hand. Does that make you rude? If you’re gonna BS, at least rein it in a little, you f*ckers.
