IVE’s Wonyoung under fire for weak dance moves in new “XOXZ” challenge video
IVE is facing backlash as netizens call out Wonyoung’s “lackluster” performance in their latest dance challenge video for “XOXZ.”
Critics say her movements look noticeably weaker and less energetic compared to other members. When the choreography demands hair flipping, Wonyoung’s motions are described as subtle and “half-hearted,” standing out against the group’s stronger energy.
Many pointed out the stark difference between Wonyoung and fellow member Gaeul, especially when the two perform side by side.
“Is Jang Wonyoung always like that? She kind of dances carelessly.”
“Since my focus naturally goes to Wonyoung, I keep watching her, but she’s moving so weakly it’s kind of jarring. Seeing her next to the other members, the difference really stands out… don’t make me sad…”
“I get that Wonyoung doesn’t want to mess up her hair, but not moving at all makes her look like she can’t dance even more.”
“It’s not that the dance is off… anyone can see she’s just dancing half-heartedly like a wooden puppet.”
Some fans speculated Wonyoung might simply be tired.
The video has sparked widespread discussion about Wonyoung’s energy in performances as fans and netizens monitor the situation closely.
