Wonyoung’s makeup has always been a hot topic. Fans quickly pointed out she never gets a break — criticized if she changes anything from makeup to hair to weight.

“Some days her makeup is heavier, some days it’s lighter. But every single event, people keep saying ‘lose weight,’ ‘gain weight,’ ‘show your forehead,’ ‘do lighter makeup,’ ‘do this, do that’… There’s never a day when people just let her be.”
