What's the reason why Wonyoung is not a favourite on entertainment shows like Yujin is?

  • Yujin has been nonstop getting work on variety shows like Earth Arcade and Amazing Saturday etc. recently. Meanwhile Wonyoung is nowhere to be found. What is the reason for that?


    For as much of an it girl people like to claim she is, she's heavily getting overshadowed in the public domain by her band mate, which is unheard of. Imagine SNSD Yuri being more in demand than Yoona. Or Suzy getting pushed aside by some other nugu Miss A member. What is the reason for this happening?

  • because she has no personality and is extremely boring to watch

  • Yujin is relatable as well as beautiful, whereas Wonyoung's image is entirely based on her beauty which as much as it attracts is not relatable to most people.


    Hence Yujin seems a type you could hang out with, still brag as a pretty girl - friend.


    Somewhat like Sejeong from PD101, they are 'girls next door' but with a glow up, whereas Wonyoung like Chaeyeon are true beauties, they are for the pedestals


    Entertainment needs relatability.

  • Yujin has been known for her variety skills since IZ*ONE and maybe it’s easier to cast her since she’s legal and Wy is not

  • Wonyoung image is to be this unavailable hit girl wannabe for women while variety shows request rawness comedy and vitality. Wonyoung can’t give that

  • Yujin deserves to be casted in more variety shows, but that doesn't mean Wonyoung can't do variety. Watch her and Yujin in Knowing Brothers, she is witty.


    But of course after that people/knetz said that she is too young for the role..

  • Will you guys make up your minds? First it's "Wonyoung and friends" and now it's "Wonyoung is a flop compared to Yujin".


    It's like when it comes to IVE you guys can't grasp the concept that more than one member can be popular at a time or have different areas that best suits them. Like worry about your faves, the whole IVE already got their names engraved on End of Year trophies and collecting their bags while your busy being salty.

  • Some of Wonyoung's...fans might unstan her if the wrong thing comes out of her mouth and she comes off as too feminist.

  • I think it's because no matter how much she tries Wonyoung still have that "untouchable" vibe, people can't relate to her because she's just not relatable, she's very polite and reserved. While Yujin is naturally charismatic, she have a natural warm vibe that makes her likeable to the public and tv show hosts.

  • Not at people jumping through hoops just to explain why she's not going on shows.


    Irene was literally famous for being not funny on shows like how Heechul said on Knowing Bros, but she was still guested on a ton of shows. Apink's Son Naeun was not exactly known for her personality either but she was still everywhere on variety during her peak years. Same with DIA's Jung Chaeyeon, who plays the same "quiet, untouchable" icy queen aura etc whatever you guys call it, she was still everywhere on shows.


    If you're popular enough, it doesn't matter if you're good in variety or not, shows will demand you.

  • I think people forgot when Wonyoung and Yujin always invited to variety show when they just debuted, but then people said why the other members aren't invited too..

    Preferential treatment and all that, girl get hate for going and also get this for not going 🙄


    Let's just support them all, she is busy enough as it is. Some even said she is overworked


    Support IVE in this summer of the six of them.

    If your logic made sense, the same would apply to"if you are popular enough, brands would choose you" logic. Yet Wonyoung alone is the one getting 2/4 of all cfs/endorsements all 4th gen ggs combined. I'm no expert but if she "wasn't popular enough", following your logic, brands would pick Yujin instead of her.


    Her image is too high brand for her to be on every variety show.

  • Literally, they are so dramatic up in here waxing salty poetry about why Wonyoung is so terrible blah blah blah, meanwhile, there is already a preview out for Wonyoung on a variety show with Yujin for next week, or like Wonyoung hasn't already appeared of tons of variety show already.


    I think their problem is that they are mad that not only does IVE not have a "Wonyoung and friends" situation as they hoped, but dives aren't tearing each other apart and don't have an akgae problem either. I've seen so many people going "omg Wonyoung stans might get mad kekekeke" or "But would Wonyoung stans be able to take it???" as if Wonyoung stans aren't all just chilling.


    Maybe their groups all have akgae problems and they can't stand to see other groups fandom thrive in peace.

    idk how curated your feed iss but there is definitely a growing Wonyoung akgae issue. It's not Bahiyyih levels yet but its coming

  • idk how curated your feed iss but there is definitely a growing Wonyoung akgae issue. It's not Bahiyyih levels yet but its coming

    No, there isn't.


    And I say that as a Wonyoung stan myself who is on discord, Reddit, and Twitter with other Wonyoung stans. The only thing Wonyoung stans care about is Wonyoung's "It Girl" status and we know there isn't another female idol that is going to snatch that from her any time soon.


    We are proud of Yujin who is busy doing variety shows and getting her and IVE's name out there. Whatever work she gets is benefiting the group and vice versa when it comes to the other members as well.


    The only Wonyoung Akae issue is the ones that are in your heads, along with the same "Wonyoung and friends" issue that only antis seem to believe exists. There is of course popularity difference between IVE members, but that can be said for every group. At the end of the day, Dives aren't known to fight amongst themselves over issues like that, but keep dreaming I guess.

  • idk how curated your feed iss but there is definitely a growing Wonyoung akgae issue. It's not Bahiyyih levels yet but its coming

    Also, because I forgot to mention, notice how hard antis are in this thread using Yujin to drag Wonyoung, and yet still no Wonyoung stan has risen to bait? Yeah, point and case. Nice try though, guys. Better luck next time lol. It would have made more sense if one of you antis pretended to be a Wonyoung stan and drag Yujin but I guess you guys aren't that smart yet.

  • because Wonyoung popularity is only because of her beauty and nothing else,

    she's not witty or have a personality who stand out that's why she doesn't appear on variety show

    and she's not a good dancer or singer that's why she doesn't appear on music show like immortal song neither

  • because she’s the visual that’s an “airheads type. very boring.
