A comparison between the visuals of Liz and Wonyoung of ive during their performance at Lollapalooza Berlin has sparked mixed reactions among Korean netizens.
On July 12, the members of Eve took to the stage at Lollapalooza Berlin, where they delivered a powerful performance to a global audience. During this historic night for the group, Eve performed a medley of their biggest hits, including “I AM,” “Rebel Heart,” “After Like,” “Kitsch,” and “Heya.” Their live performance of “After Like” made headlines both domestically and internationally.
Days after this iconic performance, the girls’ strong presence and vocal brilliance continue to be discussed, but a recent post on the Korean forum PAN comparing Liz’s and Wonyoung’s looks has sparked some heated debate.
A netizen shared a photo of ive member Liz, along with the comment: “Liz is now prettier than Jang Wonyoung.”
He added, “If she had debuted like this, she would have definitely become the center of attention.”
“She’s so beautiful, her beauty is natural, without any artificial appearance.”
Wonyoung’s fans were quick to defend her flawless visuals, emphasizing that brands continue to pursue her, but others couldn’t deny Liz’s natural, soft beauty.
Korean netizens commented:
“Whether it’s Liz or Jang Wonyoung, they’re both prettier than you anyway ㅋㅋㅋ Especially Jang Wonyoung, she’s on par with the top 4th-gen idols. No matter how hard you try to belittle her, it won’t affect her ㅠ”
“Even if you’re jealous of Jang Wonyoung, the public and advertisers still find her pretty ㅜㅜ Belittling any 4th-gen idol will only make you look silly~”
“You could have just said Liz is pretty. Why do you insist on comparing her to a member of the same group? Stop stirring things up and delete the post.”
“From the way you talk about natural and artificial beauty, you’re clearly an older woman who’s trying to pathologically promote the concept of ‘natural beauty.’ You’re the same person who regularly attacks Jang Wonyoung and Karina. Sometimes you say Liz is prettier than Jang Wonyoung, and sometimes you say Ningning is prettier than Karina. You always use the same words: natural beauty, artificial beauty. Even your distinctive scent is recognizable in every post, and it’s so funny. You seem like a failed woman who throws a tantrum whenever she hears about Jang Wonyoung or Karina. Try as you might, the fourth generation is Jang and Karina’s generation, so don’t bother yourself too much.”
“They’re both beautiful, so stop sowing discord.”
“Honestly, she’s the naturally prettiest, but she’s being downplayed just because of the fandoms ㅋㄱ”
