Luckily, it didn't take long for Wonyoung and Yujin to re-debut as IVE members following IZ*ONE's disbandment. IVE was officially launched on Dec. 1, 2021, with their first single album "ELEVEN."

Although they saw immediate success, IVE Jang Wonyoung received lots of harsh comments from haters due to her "bad attitude." One time, she was criticized for being too lazy to dance while performing on music shows. She is also considered arrogant because of her "classy teenage girl" image.

But lately, Jang Wonyoung's image has changed in the eyes of haters. This can be seen in a discussion one netizen started on the online community forum PANN.

The netizen admitted to misjudging her personality, which has always been regarded as fake. Referring to what Liz (another IVE member) shared during a live broadcast, he said that Wonyoung never complained during practice.

IVE Liz's confession seems to have made the haters aware of Jang Wonyoung's true personality and realize that she is indeed born to be an idol.

A different netizen who encountered the post on the PANN site said that they were wrong about IVE Jang Wonyoung's personality. They added that they used to think that she was only playing around on stage and pretended to be beautiful but they found out that she is much cooler and kinder than they thought.

Other netizens agreed with the statements and now, the 17-year-old idol is being flooded with praises from netizens who were initially her haters.

It is known that IVE Jang Wonyoung had not been separated from negative comments even before she debuted in IZ*ONE. She is even considered an idol with just a pretty face. Now, she is getting the respect and praise she deserves.
