IVE’s red carpet styles sparking online debates
IVE is one of the top-tier groups of Gen 4, possessing many catchy and addictive hits since their debut. Not only that, the Starship girl group is also loved for their visuals as they are all tall, model-like figures and outstanding visuals that captivate. Particularly, the fame of Jang Wonyoung and Ahn Yujin (after their activities with IZ*ONE) has contributed to the growing reputation of IVE.
Due to the noticeable popularity difference among the members, every appearance at events and award ceremonies turns IVE’s red-carpet fashion into a topic of discussion in online communities. Starship Entertainment has also faced allegations of unfair treatment, excessively promoting Jang Wonyoung and Ahn Yujin.
Most recently, at the 2023 Melon Music Awards, IVE looked stunning in elegant and feminine white-themed outfits. However, upon closer inspection of the photos, it is evident that members Wonyoung and Yujin were favored with more glamorous, attention-grabbing attire, even in different colors. Netizens believe that the group looks like “Wonyoung – Yujin and friends”
On the KBS Gayo Daechukje 2022 red carpet, all the spotlight focused on Jang Wonyoung as she wore a form-fitting long dress with a prominent bow at the back, completely different from the simple and basic short white outfits worn by other members. However, many fans explained that Wonyoung, being the MC for the event, chose a more eye-catching outfit to host the program.
