IVE’s Wonyoung Receives Scathing Backlash For Flaunting Her Wealth

IVE member Wonyoung has attracted significant attention for supposedly flaunting her money on social media.

Recently, Wonyoung made a post on Instagram with the caption, “My place, my peace.” The post featured pictures taken in her home, offering sneak peeks at her home décor.

Netizens were quick to notice the luxurious audio system in the background of most of those pictures. It was none other than the iconic Brionvega Radiofonografo, a modular radio and record player (model RR126 / RR226), a modular radio and record player designed in 1965 by Achille and Pier Giacomo Castiglioni. The particular model Wonyoung owns is said to retail for around $18,000 USD to $20,500 USD.

This piece, along with the previously revealed Pierre Paulin Dune Sofa in Wonyoung’s home, has stirred up quite the heated reaction against her extravagant lifestyle among netizens. Many criticized her for being into vanity, remarking that she lives an easy life.

• “At this rate, life is probably no fun because everything is so easy.”
• “This young person seems to have learned vanity and showing off instead of thrift and frugality.”
• “Heard people say she looks like an influencer…She is actually starting to feel like one.”

• “I know she is spending the money she earned, but it just leaves me feeling hollow when there are so many people whose very lives depend on having, or lacking, that 200 million won.”
• “You can see the desire to show off just by looking at the photos on social media—did she actually read the ‘Buddha’s Words’ book properly? Why pretend to read if she’s going to act like that?”
