IVE’s Wonyoung Sparks Buzz Over Controversial Appearance

IVE’s Wonyoung is facing backlash over her “frozen face” after a recent interview appearance sparked a heated online debate.

The controversy began when IVE appeared on the Zach Sang Show on May 15. Clips of the interview surfaced on social media, focusing on solo shots of Wonyoung talking about her “Lucky Vicky” nickname. Many viewers claimed her facial expressions looked stiff and immovable.

With over a million views, the clip ignited criticism. Netizens accused Wonyoung of overusing fillers and Botox, expressing concern about her young age and the pressure idols face to alter their looks.
