IVE’s Jang Wonyoung has sparked major online debate after video screenshots of her expressionless face went viral, leading some netizens to label her look as a “b*tch face.” The term – often used to describe a perceived cold or unfriendly appearance – triggered intense reactions across social media, with fans and critics clashing in the comments.

While some mocked her appearance:

“With a b*tch face like that, did someone block your WiFi?”

Others rushed to her defense:

“Do people expect her to smile every second? That’s just her resting face.”

The buzz grew louder after comparisons were made between Wonyoung and Korean cheerleader Lee Jooeun, who reportedly drew more attention during the same event in Taiwan. But fans quickly pointed out that other clips showed Wonyoung smiling and interacting warmly, challenging the narrative that she was cold or unapproachable.

Many agreed that the backlash was unwarranted, with one netizen summing it up:

“She gets hate for smiling too much, and now for not smiling enough. What do you want?”
