RE : How did wonyoung get so popular?

I was to post two comments

Quote from DooDoo Panko Surprise (836)

She was the giant maknae baby of the biggest 4th gen group in Kpop. Starship glowed up her visuals but everything else was all because of Izone.

Izone is not the biggest grandpa. Ive ate up izone and so many other ggs did the same lol. But they were a top group in sales ans Japan and wy benefited from it. She was always gaining popularity from the time produce 48 aired. And she is blowing up way more with Ive but izone made the base.

Plus I think her being affiliated with enhypen Sunghoon helped too. Yes I said it.

South Korean government themselves shared the graph about what is the most popular product worldwide. Bts ofc were the first with Squid game. Then others like txt, iu & her drama AND enhypen! I think enhypen were the largest circles after bts and sg.

Enhypen other words were some other member? + sunghoon, an mc on music bank. Guess what word was next to sunghoon? Wy's name lol

No other 4th gen female idols individually

Mighty Peak Level Delusional if u think her being mc with that guy got anything to do with her popularity. 😂

How did wonyoung get so popular?

Her it girl status in Korea makes sense, but wow she is so popular internationally too! I saw the top 30 idol chart and she’s only behind the blackpink members

What made her blow up so much? Especially since IVE debut?

I would kind of defend that IZ*ONE line

because they are still the only gg which released three albums in one calendar year and each of those sold 500k (which gives total 1.5M sales in a year which was crazy at that time)

Fandom power yes. They had very dedicated fandom. But that alone does not make some group the biggest when other ggs were easily doing better on streaming and charting especially currently. Wizones become extra dedicated after they got the early disbandment scare in 2019.
