IVE’s Liz sparks major controversy comparing her looks to Jang Wonyoung
IVE’s Liz is facing backlash after a viral post on Korean forum Pann claimed she is now prettier than fellow member Jang Wonyoung. The post hit over 50,000 views and sparked heated debate among netizens.
The Pann post stated:
Liz is prettier than Jang Wonyoung now.
If she had debuted with this look, she probably would’ve been the center. She’s seriously so pretty, no signs of plastic surgery, just natural beauty.
Fans immediately fired back defending Wonyoung, widely regarded as a top visual of 4th generation K-pop idols. Others agreed Liz’s recent visuals have improved and deserve recognition.
The controversy quickly shifted to criticism of the comparison itself. Many slammed the post for pitting group members against each other and stirring division in the fandom.
Netizens wrote:
“Whether it’s Liz or Jang Wonyoung, both are way prettier than someone like you, lol. Especially Wonyoung, she’s basically at the top of 4th gen idols.”
“Hey, Pann girl, even if you’re jealous of Jang Wonyoung, the public and advertisers still think she’s pretty. Trying to drag down a top 4th gen female idol just makes you look pathetic~”
“The way you’re obsessing over ‘natural beauty’ just screams that you’re one of those self-proclaimed ‘natural beauties’ projecting onto others… You keep using the same phrases like ‘natural beauty’ and ‘plastic beauty,’ and your posts always smell the same, it’s hilarious.”
Others urged:
“They’re both pretty, stop trying to pit them against each other.”
“You could’ve just said Liz is pretty. Why are you dragging in a comparison with a member of the same group? Stop trying to stir drama and delete your post.”
The debate continues to rage with fans watching how this affects IVE’s group dynamic and public image.
