IVE’s Wonyoung faces backlash over latest social media update
IVE’s Wonyoung recently took to her social media account to share an update about her life with fans. The idol had taken to her account to share a series of photos where she’s sitting at a large dining table and posing, while a series of desserts were lined up in front of her.
Many deemed the photo to be innocent and even adorable. Fans of the idol showered her with love and praise; however, this all quickly changed as netizens started bashing the idol after a post went viral. On a popular fan forum, a post about Wonyoung’s food habits went viral for calling her out on looking “bigger” recently.
The post read on about how the singer had “let herself go” and that she needs to be careful. The post read, “Eating that many desserts is going to make you gain so much weight. I saw today’s Shanghai photos, and you really looked like you’ve put on a lot. Don’t get too caught up in success, Jang Wonyoung . You need to stay focused. If you don’t, you’ll end up overweight”.
Fans and netizens come to Wonyoung’s defence
While many were criticising her for her habits and for ‘getting bigger’, her fans came to her defence in full force. Many shared how the star looked slim and fit in all of her photos, and that the comments were too harsh and negative.
One such comment read, “She’d probably find this hilarious if she saw it, lololol”, while another stated, “What weight gain? Even just looking at her arms, she’s clearly skinny. Only anti-fans would think she looks fat”.
