Recently, IVE’s Liz was called out by netizens for claiming she took advantage of a clothing brand.
While the brand owner posted messages revealing that they still hadn’t returned the clothes because Liz liked them so much, netizens felt she had enough money to buy her own pair.
IVE’s Liz Directly Named By Brand CEO In Power Trip Controversy
However, most recently, a post garnered attention revealing that member Jang Wonyoung also wanted the pants and asked if they could keep it as a gift.
Text: Wonyoung tried on the product, and I think she mentioned wanting to keep it! Would it be possible to give it to her as a gift?
Brand owner caption: A brand that Wonyoung really loves!
However, netizens still garnered negative reactions regarding the issue.
- “Must be nice to have clothes that are perfectly tailored to my body and to have them for free.”
- “Where did that text message come from, though? Liz’s text was from the owner’s Instagram story.”
- “Some netizen DMed the owner.”
- “Although this might be good for the idol and the brand, from the standpoint of a normal person, it makes me think if she likes it, shouldn’t she just buy it instead of asking for it?”
- “She asks for it because she thinks of herself in the ‘superior’ mindset. Normal people would say they want to buy it, but how can they say that to her when she’s asking if she can keep it?”
- “I think it’s not really a power trip, and although the owner might like it, shouldn’t she just buy it?”
