IVE’s Wonyoung faces backlash over outfit at Coupang Play Series Halftime Show
IVE’s Wonyoung is under fire for her outfit choice at the July 30 Coupang Play Series Halftime Show.
She wore a short blue dress with what appeared to be denim shorts underneath while kicking a football on stage. Fans noticed the dress was extremely short and tight, making her movements uncomfortable.
One viral tweet showed a front view of Wonyoung kicking the ball, sparking anger online about her stylist’s decision.
Many criticized the outfit and questioned why she was dressed so poorly for a physical performance.
