Jennie from BLACKPINK and Wonyoung from IVE Ignite Debate Over Skin Exposure
Wonyoung is facing controversy over her 2025 SBS Gayo Daejeon stage outfit.
The controversy began after the IVE member appeared in a Santa costume criticized for its short length. Some netizens slammed her, accusing Wonyoung of pushing a “sexy” image to stay relevant.
Despite fan defense, criticism kept coming. Then, Jennie from BLACKPINK got dragged into the drama.
Fans started comparing Jennie’s short dress at the 2025 Melon Music Awards to Wonyoung’s outfit. A post on Nate Pann even pointed out that Jennie’s dress was shorter — but Jennie didn’t get the same backlash.
As the situation gained traction, commentators criticized the original post for setting Wonyoung and Jennie against each other instead of supporting their freedom to dress how they want.
“Pretty girls can wear whatever they want, but I wish ugly girls like you wouldn’t wear revealing clothes… They look beautiful in them, but when old, ugly women wear them, it just feels like it would smell bad and look like something rotten and black… You know what I mean? Anyway, please, only pretty girls should wear revealing clothes.”
The comment above came from Nate Pann users.
“I don’t know about all that, but Nayeon, the queen of female communities, is the best. She’s so pretty.”
On backlash to the comparison:
“This isn’t the opinion of Jang Wonyoung’s fans. Stop stirring up trouble. Jang Won YoungJennie, I want this moment. Stop using Wonyoung to bash Jennie and just go away, you crazy person.”
“Jennie is just the top do,g and that’s her crime.”
The debate over stage outfits for Wonyoung and Jennie is still active online, with fans divided on how much criticism is fair.
