IVE’s Wonyoung Faces Criticism Over “Lackluster” Dance Performance
IVE’s Wonyoung under fire for weak dance moves in “XOXZ” challenge video
IVE is facing backlash over Wonyoung’s performance in their new song “XOXZ” dance challenge video. Netizens are calling out her lackluster energy compared to other members.
Wonyoung’s hair flips and choreography appear notably toned down. Even when she moves to the front, her movements remain weak and unenergetic. The contrast between her and members like Gaeul is especially jarring, highlighting uneven energy levels.
Fans commented on the video, criticizing Wonyoung’s dancing style:
“Is Jang Wonyoung always like that? She kind of dances carelessly.”
“Since my focus naturally goes to Wonyoung, I keep watching her, but she’s moving so weakly it’s kind of jarring. Seeing her next to the other members, the difference really stands out… don’t make me sad…”
“I get that Wonyoung doesn’t want to mess up her hair, but not moving at all makes her look like she can’t dance even more.”
“It’s not that the dance is off… anyone can see she’s just dancing half-heartedly like a wooden puppet.”
Some fans speculated she might be tired, but many remain disappointed by the visible gap in stage presence.
