Since her debut in IVE, and even before, Wonyoung has often been a topic of discussion amongst netizens.

While it is often positive, the idol has also dealt with many negative responses to her actions, however minor they were. This includes the criticism over her way of eating a strawberry and her mannerisms.

This has sometimes led netizens to call her a “pick me,” or a woman who does things to appeal to men or be “picked” by them.

Her alleged treatment of fans of different sexes has recently sparked some reactions.

On August 1-3, the annual KCON LA event took place, with several artists attending the three-day festival.

As part of the convention portion of the event, fans could pay to have up-close experiences with their favorite idols. Marketed as “meet & greet,” a package purchased allowed fans to walk past the idols in a hi-wave event.

IVE was among the artists who created this event, and many videos from their meet-and-greet stage have attracted attention.

One specific clip uploaded on X has gone viral. It seemingly shows Wonyoung reacting differently to the fans who walked in front of her based on whether they were male or female.

Some did express that it seemed Wonyoung did have some different treatment of women, remarking that she gave them hearts.

Others commented that Wonyoung gave everyone attention, doing her best during the very quick event. The event was also longer than the video showed, meaning that it could also be a skewed view of what actually happened.

she literally did the same for everyone? https://t.co/DWmPQbWbzw

Misandrists projecting their worldview onto idols, interpreting minor coincidental gestures as deliberate acts of sexism. 🤮 https://t.co/jGX9EU5Uul
