IVE’s Wonyoung Receives Unexpected Backlash Over Visuals At Recent Showcase

IVE’s Jang Wonyoung is facing fresh controversy after the group’s REVIVE+ comeback press conference and showcase.

Photos from the event quickly went viral online. Netizens praised Wonyoung’s visuals, calling her “unreal” and “doll-like.” Many applauded her styling, outfit, and elegant presence at the press.

However, the buzz wasn’t all positive. Some viewers noticed her lips looked heavily overlined in some photos. This sparked speculation about whether she altered her features before the comeback.

Screenshots from online forums showed mixed reactions:

“Why does she look different? Is it because of the overlip?”
“Her lips got too big.”
“I want to see the performance and MV soon.”
“Why do they only ever give her such tacky outfits…?”
“Wow, I couldn’t help but let out an empty laugh with the first pic LOL. She’s too pretty.”
