Following Jang Wonyoung's "eating" issues, the idol is once again criticized for how she eats chicken. But this time, Koreans defended the "Kitsch" singer for THIS reason.
IVE Jang Wonyoung Criticized For Eating Drumstick THIS Way
In the 258th episode of tvN's entertainment show "Amazing Saturday" (DoReMi Market), aired on April 8, the "hottest girl group" IVE comprised of An Yujin, Gaeul, Rei, Jang Wonyoung, Liz and Leeseo appeared as guests.
During the game where they had to guess and write the lyrics of TXT's "New Rules," Wonyoung and the team were able to complete the task successfully, leading them to enjoy their food reward.
A special chicken dish was prepared and Wonyoung chose the drumstick. During the part where she had to try the food, she grabbed the drumstick using chopsticks, even making the viewers smile when she parodied a chicken CF, saying, "Would you like to eat together?"
Unfortunately, the scene didn't sit well with some. They took to online communities to throw malicious assumptions about the idol, such as:
"Can you hold it properly and eat it that way? She was like that as well when she ate pizza and strawberries that it seems like pretending to be pretty become a habit now."

IVE Jang Wonyoung Fans Come To Her Defense After Receiving Hateful Comments For Eating Chicken With Chopsticks
Following the negative remarks against the celebrity, her fans jumped to her defense. But it was shocking to see that more Koreans were disagreeing with the author this time. Even non-DIVEs defended the idol, calling out critics of her every move.
In fact, people said that they also eat chicken drumsticks using chopsticks, especially when they don't want to dirty their hands. In this case, Jang Wonyoung was still on a broadcast; thus, it's not unusual for the idol to avoid getting her hands dirty.
- "Wow, posts about Jang Wonyoung are no longer a general inferiority complex now, but it's an art form at this point. It's amazing. It's fun to watch how worse it gets. Hey, do it again. What's next? Next time, bring up the topic of how she's breathing and say, 'Have you ever seen someone who breathes like this? She breathed while pretending to be pretty.' That kind of shxt."
- "Then do you have to eat chicken outside without gloves with your unwashed hands and munch on chicken? Got it?"
- "Huh? If you don't want it on your hands, of course, you eat it like that?"
- "I don't like Jang Wonyoung either, but that common reason, I also don't want to get it on my hands, so I pick up chicken legs with chopsticks or dip them in lean meat and hold it. I know you're inexperienced jaem-min (*a Korean negative slang to describe a person with child-like behavior), but don't think your standards are everything."
