The reigning fourth-generation girl group’s have often faced ire for styling and management issues.

Upon observing it closely, fans saw that she was given a pair of heels that were at least twice the size of her feet. People soon began discussing that it was “lazy” and criticized the stylists.

Their reasoning was that it must have been difficult for the brand and the staff to get heels of her size.However, the majority of fans did not buy the reasoning. Some even raised questions about why Wonyoung and Yujin, the two most popular and tallest members, were each given heels.Many even pointed out that the 20-year-old could have tripped and hurt herself. Others jokingly commented that she looked like their younger self when they would wear their mother’s heels.jane@for_903924y'all better give gaeul shoes that will fit her next time if you plan on having her wear heels, she's obviously uncomfy about it and could've tripped too and to think this isn't the first time that it happened @IVEstarship407y'all better give gaeul shoes that will fit her next time if you plan on having her wear heels, she's obviously uncomfy about it and could've tripped too and to think this isn't the first time that it happened @IVEstarship https://t.co/QSsRJ2X9CMrawle 🩰#thankyougyuri ♡̶@lesserawlefimgaeul in heels reminds me of when I was younger putting on my moms heels when they were too big for me17gaeul in heels reminds me of when I was younger putting on my moms heels when they were too big for me https://t.co/LVN06FwhuXkin.@jangcentrestarship can never do anything right. they should be glad gaeul can balance herself even in that heels twice the size of her feet8815starship can never do anything right. they should be glad gaeul can balance herself even in that heels twice the size of her feet https://t.co/EyEwZIk83p레이@hii_seulgiii@bobawooyo i would've cried30@bobawooyo 💀 i would've cried https://t.co/EwwcPozWxEs⩜⃝n@x_klvi@bobawooyo NO WAH THEY GAVE HER THAT ON THE RED CARPET4@bobawooyo NO WAH THEY GAVE HER THAT ON THE RED CARPETAside from the heels fiasco, another incident at The Fact Music Awards riled up the fandom. IVE was performing After LIKE on stage for the offline audience, but the performance was cut short abruptly by a staff member. The show was being live streamed to international fans, where they played pre-recordings of performances. However, the ground reality shocked many fans.A staff member arrived on stage and asked the girls to get backstage. Even before the members went off stage, the stage’s lights switched off.#JIMTOBER@interlude3dCutting their performance in middle of them performing infront of an audience is so disrespectful and unprofessional the management of this award shows are a mess twitter.com/jangcentre/sta…kin.@jangcentreso originally ive was performing live for the fans but the staff told them to get off the stage and played the pre recorded vid??? why tho2900so originally ive was performing live for the fans but the staff told them to get off the stage and played the pre recorded vid??? why thohttps://t.co/7aHxucq5OLCutting their performance in middle of them performing infront of an audience is so disrespectful and unprofessional the management of this award shows are a mess twitter.com/jangcentre/sta…Meanwhile, they were not the only group to receive disrespectful treatment.
