The group that doesn't have a main vocal

During his time with IZ*ONE, Jang Wonyoung was controversial many times because of his weak vocals and poor live singing. Meanwhile, although Ahn Yujin is evaluated for her stable live singing skills, she still can't compare with other main vocals of the Gen 4 girlgroup like aespa, WEEEKLY, PURPLE KISS... The remaining faces In contrast, IVE did not have any outstanding factors in terms of vocals. Even when IVE introduced the lineup, Knet wondered why Starship couldn't find a "good" main vocal for the group.

Therefore, many people think that IVE is more of a simple performing group like EVERGLOW, WJSN, Weki Meki... IVE's concept does not have any new breakthroughs. There have been many similar girlcrush-style sex.y gir.l groups. Therefore, IVE's own color is not really clear and impressive.

Just debuted and got into a plagiarism controversy

Although the IVE members are all very young on average, the company oriented the group towards a mature and seductive concept. Many people think that IVE's style is reminiscent of EVERGLOW. Even the greeting to introduce the group's name was accused of "plagiarizing" senior EVERGLOW.
