IVE’S Wonyoung Goes Viral For “Botched” Appearance

IVE member Wonyoung’s recent appearance has stirred up a huge debate about her “frozen face.”

The discourse began after all the IVE members appeared on the Zach Sang Show on May 15. As parts of the interview started surfacing on social media, a specific clip featuring solo shots of Wonyoung talking about her “Lucky Vicky” nickname triggered some strong reactions, with people claiming her face appeared immovable.

With over a million views, the clip subsequently became the source of a heated debate, with many netizens claiming Wonyoung was overdoing her fillers. Some even accused her of being addicted to these procedures, while others showed concern over the fact that an idol as young as Wonyoung was even getting Botox on her face.

She’s getting addicted, I remember what Jessi said, when you do more than 2 surgeries you would look at yourself in the mirror and see more flaws to fix. She’s getting there and she’s just in her 20’s crazy

ageism and beauty standards are so shitty. no one in their 20’s should be touching their face. yall may love to think that 25 and up is considered old and auntie status or whatever but if your age starts with a 2 you don’t need to be getting botox and surgery

It’s actually crazy, like literal teenagers are getting botox and fillers if not more invasive stuff. We gotta shut this shit down

Fans, however, fiercely defended the idol, sharing recent public appearances and arguing that Wonyoung’s facial expressions remained intact and that the speculation about her getting Botox was untrue in the first place.
