Wonyoung (IVE): Idol is criticized as the most "incompetent" center in Kpop, famous only based on looks?

Since re-debuting in the IVE lineup, Jang Wonyoung has continuously "occupied" social media.

A series of posts on forums discuss the visual, talent or stage charisma of the former IZ*ONE member. Of course, for an idol with such a "hot" level as Wonyoung, besides positive topics, there are also many negative topics.

Wonyoung used to be the winner of Produce 48, also holding the center position of IZ * ONE, and then when active in IVE, she also continued to take on the role of the center face of the group. It can be said that Wonyoung is very charming with the center position, always a hot factor no matter which girl group debuts. Not to talk about Wonyoung's reputation, when she is extremely popular with Korean and international fans. However, in terms of talent, is Wonyoung worthy of the spotlight that belongs to her?

Netizens pointed out that Wonyoung is famous for her looks, and her vocals and choreography are "bad". When he was active in IZ * ONE, Wonyoung wasn't very good at singing, but because of the short singing line, the performance was still at the "role" level. However, when she debuted in IVE, when she was a vocal-line member and had more time to sing, her shortcomings became more and more obvious. On the encore stages, Wonyoung revealed the shortcomings of her weak, weak, and unsteady voice. The female idol's excessive singing style also makes many netizens uncomfortable. This voice color suits IZ*ONE's girly songs, but it's a bit out of place in IVE's ELEVEN song.

In terms of choreography, Wonyoung doesn't really stand out either. The female idol once caused controversy because of her superficial choreography, tossing her hair "like a training session" on the debut stage. In many segments, Wonyoung was also seen dancing slowly with the other members. Therefore, Wonyoung is criticized as "going downhill", with no improvement in skills despite 3 years of debuting.

In particular, netizens are also fed up with Wonyoung's stage expression. The female idol is annoying when repeating a "whisper, wink" pattern over and over. She was criticized for being too fancy, not really enjoying the performance but just worrying about "doing it".

Some comments:

- I have to admit that she's very hot in Korea, but most of them are compliments on visuals, not on talent.

- Don't be shy on stage.

- The expression is the same every time. Don't sing well, dance poorly even though it's been 3 years since debut.

- Wins this and loses that, visual is at the top but talent is at the bottom.

- Wonyoung should rehearse his expressions to be diverse with the song. Every song is the same color, if you smile and wink, you will be cursed for a long time.

- If you're the center, how can you be worthy of the spotlight? Are you the most incompetent center in Kpop?

In addition to being criticized for his poor ability, Wonyoung was also accused of being too biased by the station compared to other members. Specifically, the year-end music festival of KBS called KBS Song Festival 2021 took place extremely jubilantly with the participation of many popular idol groups such as Red Velvet, SEVENTEEN, aespa, STAYC, ENHYPEN, TXT, etc. IVE... In which, the rookie has just debuted for more than 2 weeks - IVE especially attracted the attention of the media thanks to her youthful and gorgeous beauty on the red carpet. However, it is these images that have sparked a lot of controversy. Netizens do not need to be too observant to realize that Jang Wonyoung is wearing a "out-of-tone" outfit compared to his teammates. "Sisters and sisters" but only Wonyoung wears black to stand out on a white outfit, is Starship being too biased?

Turns out there's a reason for everything. Wonyoung stands out because she also acts as a special MC behind the stage. Perhaps because he wanted to save time, the IVE member wore this outfit on the red carpet.

While some Korean netizens felt that it was obvious that Wonyoung was given special clothing to host the show, international fans were mostly displeased.

Many people pointed out that the main color that KBS designated for this year's concert is white. Even with the exception of Wonyoung, the other 3 behind-the-scenes MCs are all wearing "ton sur ton" white outfits, so there's no reason for her to enjoy a "one-on-one" special offer.

Some disgruntled comments from netizens:

- I'm so tired of them trying to make IVE a "Wonyoung and friends" group

- At this point, it's clear that IVE is the "Wonyoung and friends" group and nothing more. If Starship stays like this, I swear IVE is only going to flop

Not only the red carpet outfit, Jang Wonyoung's ELEVEN performance outfit also made the audience admire the obvious favor of the management company. While the other 5 members all wore the same short pants, Wonyoung continued to stand out with a flowing dress like a princess. It doesn't take 3 seconds to realize who has the most spotlight on the stage tonight. I don't know what Starship has in mind when it keeps favoring one member to the point of forgetting the rest.

Wonyoung (IVE) "robbed" the center position of the maknae, making the lineup messy, but was defended for one thing?
