Netizens Slam IVE Wonyoung’s Obsession With Overlined Lips. Can We Just Let Her Be?
It seems female K-pop idols can never fully escape plastic surgery rumours or rude comments about their makeup looks. Popular girl group IVE’s Jang Wonyoung is one singer who constantly finds herself at the centre of these heated discussions. Now, once again, her visuals have sparked a huge debate online. Here’s what the internet is saying and how fans are defending her!

A post on the Korean community Nate Pann recently caught a lot of attention. It questioned why Jang Wonyoung has been using loud makeup lately. They said her current style looks much bolder than earlier. The user pointed out that the K-pop idol’s lips are overlined too much. They also shared recent photos to show the difference and suggested she would look better with soft makeup looks.

Reactions to the post were divided. Some people agreed and said her lips looked too full or unnatural due to makeup and fillers. A few even said she might have gone too far with procedures.

On the other hand, many fans came in defence. They argued that she gets criticised no matter what look she chooses. Some felt the comments were too mean, while others believed her makeup was not actually heavier.

Well, this kind of discussion shows how much female idols are watched and judged for their appearance. Honestly, it gets tiring to see so much focus on their faces, bodies, and every small change, as if it’s normal to share negative opinions online. K-pop idols are human beings too and they can try out different styles and makeup.
