IVE Wonyoung Triggers Mixed Reactions With New Post Following W Korea Controversy
IVE Wonyoung‘s latest Instagram post has triggered mixed reactions.
In her latest mirror selfie, she takes a photo and includes the pink bow emoji.
A post gained attention comparing the emoji to the pink ribbon, the universal symbol of breast cancer. Some found her decision to upload this tactless as she was one of the attendees of W Korea’s controversial Breast Cancer Awareness event where both the organization and its attendees received criticism.
W Korea Finally Folds, Apologizes For Hosting Scandalous “Breast Cancer Party”
A post gained attention questioning why she would upload this.
In this situation, a pink ribbon…
No matter the design, do we really need to have a pink ribbon at this time…?
Hmm… ^^— OP
However, netizens weren’t buying it. The type of ribbon appeared vastly different than one that is used for charity purposes.
- “What are you even saying? The ribbons used for memorials or events are the 2nd, not 1st *emoji photos.* They have nothing to do with those decorative ribbon emojis.”
- “Ugh, know what kind of ribbon it is before you write… It’s completely different from that ribbon.”
- “This is the pink ribbon, and there are four cat characters, so it’s “cat plus ribbon.” Totally a different design. The party’s already over, and by that logic, if you followed it strictly, groups like Le Sserafim should have postponed their comeback if they were “drunk at a party.” But they didn’t hold back and flooded social media with their comeback anyway. Stop making absurd arguments and stop exploiting breast cancer patients—it’s disgusting.”
- “People come up with the wildest, most creative ways to pick fights — for real.”
