IVE’s Wonyoung Takes Heat For Her “Exaggerated” Lips

They want her past looks back.

A recent post on the Korean online community Nate Pann has sparked debate after criticizing IVE‘s Jang Wonyoung for her recent makeup style.

The post, titled “Why does Jang Wonyoung keep wearing such heavy makeup these days?” quickly gained attention as the OP questioned why Wonyoung has been appearing with noticeably thicker makeup compared to her earlier, more natural looks.

The writer claimed that the heavier makeup, especially an overlip, were too much. Screenshots of recent appearances were attached, with the poster suggesting that a lighter makeup style would suit her better.

However, the post immediately drew mixed reactions from netizens. While some agreed, saying that her lip makeup made them look exaggerated, many pushed back against the criticism, defending Wonyoung by noting that she is constantly scrutinized no matter what she does.

  • FR, idek about the makeup, but she’ll be good as long as she dissolves those lip fillers.
  • Wow, look at her expression, ugh.
  • She already did her eyes and she seems addicted to lip fillers, so I don’t think her visuals will go back. Just think of it as good memories.
  • She fixed her face little by little and it became over the top, that’s why. Seems like she fixed her double eyelids again, making them thicker and stronger.
  • No, but I think she has less makeup on actually. Is it because she went too heavy on the procedures?

Once again, the discussion surrounding Wonyoung has reignited conversations about how closely female idols are monitored and judged.
