IVE Wonyoung’s Shocking “Getty Images” Photos Spark Huge Reactions
IVE‘s Wonyoung visuals are gaining viral attention after the star performed at this year’s Lollapalooza Festival in Berlin alongside the rest of the group.
Though fansite photos and other press snapshots have gained likes and shares as well, what has caught Korean netizens’ eyes the most are the star’s photos taken by Getty Images.
Known for producing candid, unfiltered shots, Getty Images has developed a reputation among fans for exposing even the most polished stars in a more natural — and often unflattering — light. But Wonyoung’s latest photos defied expectations.
The photos shared on the official Getty Images website show Wonyoung with her hair flowing mid-performance, exuding a powerful stage presence and effortlessly stunning visuals. Despite the photos being taken mid dance move, she looks as stunning as ever, and not awkward at all.
Korean netizens were quick to react to the images after they surfaced online, pointing out that even in unedited, high-definition press photos, Wonyoung’s visuals remained striking. For many, this was proof that her beauty isn’t just a result of flattering lighting or heavy editing, as others have previously claimed.
While most of the reactions were filled with admiration, there was also some divided opinion on her overall styling. A few commenters felt that her hair and makeup styling — particularly her bangs and eye makeup — did not match her usual elegance.
- “Pretty”
- “Even with her hair flying around, she looks so pretty… The angle and composition are perfect too.”
- “Where did all those people who said it’s all editing go? LOLLLLL”
- “She looks pretty even in Getty shots.”
- “The hair, makeup, and styling are seriously the worst… Is this really her personal taste? The overall silhouette is stunning, but she really needs to do something about the baby fat on her face, whether that’s a procedure or something else.”
Still, the general consensus was clear: Wonyoung shined regardless of the circumstances.
