As an IVE member now, Wonyoung has been hard at work as an MC at Music Bank along with ENHYPEN’s Sunghoon.At their debut stage for Eleven, Wonyoung’s dance was criticized for her “poor” performance at the same music show. Multiple key points in the choreography required the girls to fully swing their heads to show energy through their luscious locks. It seemed like Wonyoung was trying not to ruin her hairstyle by not going too strong in those particular movements.Comments such as “she’s lacking professionalism” and “I don’t see the need to reprimand her as it’s the first time of her facing attitude controversy” poured in. They particularly called it “an attitude controversy,” meaning Wonyoung seemed to take the debut stage lightly.However, other K-pop stans quickly rose to the IVE member’s defense, reminding the commenters that they can’t bash the idol based solely on assumptions. Fans and non-fans cited multiple reasons Wonyoung might have been unable to make the moves in all her capacity.♡@LVER304@allkpop why do netizen think they are good in everything and can judge every idol out there12:21 PM · Dec 13, 20211263@allkpop why do netizen think they are good in everything and can judge every idol out thereSimply bliss⁷@simply_bliss___@allkpop I've seen so many articles of Wy in the past few days, first she was criticised for not flinging her hair, then she was praised for her new singing technique, then she was criticised again for being 'too skinny' and now this.

Other reasons were she might have had an injury that she wasn’t showcasing, similar to BLACKPINK’s Jennie facing criticism for her “lazy” dancing when in reality, the idol had a knee injury.Annalisa Nicole 🌙@annalisa_nicole@allkpop Remember when everyone criticized Jennie for being “lazy” and it turned out she had an ankle injury? We have no idea what could be going on with WY. Like, she could be sick and whipping her head around could make her dizzy.1:46 AM · Dec 13, 2021251@allkpop Remember when everyone criticized Jennie for being “lazy” and it turned out she had an ankle injury?
