Attitude controversy during IZ*ONE days? 

Even so, when she was active in IZ*ONE, Jang Wonyoung still came under controversy over attitude. She was once criticized for shoving another member’s shoulder, raising her voice, showing an annoyed expression in front of the cameras. 

However, are netizens being too strict with Jang Wonyoung? Her controversial moments in the past have been debunked by fans, but inadvertently, many netizens still have a bad impression of Jang Wonyoung  After the disbandment of IZ*ONE, the female idol re-debuted in IVE and has become more careful in managing her image, keeping her expression in moderation to avoid misunderstanding. This has made some netizens unhappy again and called her “unnatural”.
