IVE’s Wonyoung was embroiled in controversy when netizens discovered the group’s previous live broadcast. On September 26 KST, a community member posted a series of photos from a previous VLive show featuring Leeseo, Yujin, and Wonyoung. While all three were a resounding success with DIVE, who admired their connection, there was one particular moment that divided netizens. The situation in question was when an idol commented that Leese’s outfit looked exactly like the one she wore at a music photo shoot not too long ago.
According to the screenshots of the broadcast, Wonyoung asked Leeseo if she bought clothes. The latter said that the clothes belonged to “Rei unnie”. Wonyoung then reached out to check the labels on the clothes. Both she and Yujin confirmed that Leeseo was not wearing the same clothes at the end of the incident. Although many people are annoyed by her looks, followers of the teen K-pop idol have supported her online.
One user commented:
“This seems a bit harsh to me. Look at Leese’s expression.”
Another added:
“I don’t believe her actions deserved such horror. But that doesn’t mean it’s completely accurate. If she was interested in clothes, she might have asked about them after the live show ended.
Another user mentioned:
“If she had checked her clothes after turning off the camera, it wouldn’t have been so bad.”
While another user stated:
“But honestly, does she have to validate the card while they’re on V Live? Even the question: ‘Did you buy it yourself?’ can humiliate [Leeseo].”
Wonyoung’s supporters note that idols support the brand and that it’s inevitable that their outfits will mix together since the young idols live together.
One person wrote:
“I believe Wonyoung is just trying to advertise because she is a KIRSH model.”
The second comment reads:
“If the clothes look the same, it can authenticate the tag. lol The clothes aren’t even Leese’s. When you live in a group, you inevitably have to share clothes.”
Another supporter said:
“It’s not rude. They recently confirmed that they have two different shirts. Fans have been wondering if it’s KIRSH company ever since they were discovered [Wonyoung] wore it while filming and Leeseo wore a similar shirt.”
One fan wondered why the young idol was being questioned:
“Why do people keep looking for Wonyoung?”

After an old broadcast dispute, netizens are supporting IVE’s Wonyoung.
Some commented that the K-pop idol’s actions were clumsy and that she shouldn’t have touched the tag on Leese’s shirt during a live stream. They added that the female idol may have been unhappy with her revealing clothes, waiting for the show to stop. Many netizens supported the K-pop star, claiming that the behavior was taken out of context and acceptable because she was close to IVE’s Leese and was therefore only meant to joke.
The debate spread on Twitter, where followers voiced her defense. Some also noted that it’s very common for individuals living together to mock each other’s clothes and that bullying of IVE idols over old videos needs to stop. Wonyoung is currently one of the most talked about K-pop stars in the business world and has been dubbed as one of K-pop’s last ‘IT’ girls. As fans noticed her clothes were always better than the other members’ clothes, she became the target of anger directed at IVE for being the most popular girl group member.
Some netizens made a big deal about the teenage idol’s restrained behavior as an MC on Music Bank, calling her shameful. Her dramatic weight loss has caused outrage on social media, with many fans concerned about her eating habits and mental health. Wonyoung started her career at the age of 13 with Produce 48, an MNET survival show. She then debuted with IZONE, a short-lived K-pop group that disbanded after a few years.
The female idol’s stage presence, sophisticated style and fashion sense made her the center of attention during her debut with IVE. She has sponsored various brands and was recently present at Fashion Week in Paris as an ambassador for high-end jewelry company FRED.
there was a comment about leese’s shirt and then they read it and realized that the shirt was quite familiar to them, so wonyoung and yujin wanted to check the tag to see if their shirts were the same, even after that wonyoung said “joah joah” seriously leave her alone 😭 https://t.co/BrhKZhbN82 pic.twitter.com/RE8ImK975B
