IVE's Wonyoung has been under fire from netizens after her behavior in a video was deemed disrespectful.
Wonyoung, a member of the girl group IVE, recently became a topic of discussion among netizens after her behavior was deemed disrespectful in a video. The incident occurred while IVE was at Gimpo Airport before an overseas schedule.
In the circulating video, Wonyoung is seen undergoing an identity check. When an officer asked to check her ID, Wonyoung only lowered her mask slightly and had to do it again before handing over her passport and walking away. The video was uploaded by a social media user who wrote, "Look at the first girl's attitude, seriously lol."
Netizens reacted immediately, with many criticizing Wonyoung's behavior, which they considered disrespectful to the officer doing his job. Some comments read, "That's Jang Wonyoung," followed by an exasperated comment, "Come on, what's the point? Let them see. What's wrong with those people? They're just doing their jobs."
Some netizens argued that as a celebrity, Wonyoung should be more mindful of her public demeanor. "It's not that she has to be extremely polite, but she's a public figure, and her job involves interacting with people. Wouldn't it be better if she acted like a second fiddle in that video?" wrote one netizen.
Several other comments also expressed disappointment with Wonyoung's behavior, with one netizen expressing doubt, "So she can wave and smile on stage with that kind of personality? Hmm…" and another writing, "Can a polite person act like this?"
Wonyoung IVE is known as one of the visuals in her group, but this incident demonstrates that attitude and behavior are also important. Netizens hope that Wonyoung will be more respectful of those around her, especially those who play a role in her daily activities.
It will be interesting to see whether Wonyoung will provide a reaction or clarification regarding this incident. As an idol with a large fan base, her every small action is always in the spotlight, and this serves as a lesson for all celebrities to maintain their manners in public.
