Jang Wonyoung is facing fresh controversy after recent airport photos sparked debate over her changing looks.
The IVE member’s latest appearance at the airport quickly went viral, with fans and netizens divided. Some questioned if Wonyoung had undergone major cosmetic procedures, saying her face looked very different this time.
The controversy began with a viral Pann post comparing her visuals to former (G)I-DLE member Soojin. The post gained over 100,000 views, with snapshots showing Wonyoung’s recent photos alongside of Soojin, prompting talk about possible plastic surgery.
Fans have long praised Wonyoung’s “goddess-like” visuals. But as the situation gained traction, some accused her of excessive surgery leading to uneven and sagging features despite her young age.
Others came to Wonyoung’s defense, pointing out she appeared swollen and tired, likely due to a late-night shoot.
“She looks just like former i-dle’s Soojin, seriously… She’s had so much work done that even though she’s only in her early 20s, her face is already uneven and sagging. Don’t ever get jaw contouring surgery, your pronunciation starts slipping too.”
“She apparently filmed late last night. She must be exhausted, and now people are nitpicking everything. All I saw was her flawless skin… Poor Wonyoung, she must be so tired.”
“Her face was just a bit puffy this morning, and now there are like ten identical hate posts on Pann? Ever since she started getting more ads, the reverse-viral hate has been wild.”
“She’s completely lost that vibe…”
“She used to look like an absolute goddess, but why do the recent photos make her look so… middle-aged?”
The debate continues as netizens monitor Wonyoung’s upcoming appearances closely. Fans remain divided on whether fatigue or surgery caused the changes.
No official statement from Wonyoung or her agency has been released.
