Comedians Reportedly Attempt to Sell IVE's Water Bottles
On September 29, IVE performed at Chungbuk University’s festival. After the event, a festival-goer voiced displeasure with the behavior of the two MCs, saying:
“After IVE performed at the Chungbuk School Festival, I was about to leave when I saw 2 MCs selling the group’s half-baked water bottles. What bothered me, even more, was that they wanted to sell Jang Wonyoung’s water bottles for 50,000 KRW.”

내가 더 기분 나빴어 여기에 더 나아가 장원영 물병 5만원 이럼 ㅅㅂ
지금이 무슨 90년대도 아니고 2022년인데 저런 말 아무렇지 않게 하냐?
According to people who watched the festival, these two MCs are not students but comedians Bang Joo Ho and Lim Seong Wook. After the post was shared, many people online slammed the two MCs and said that it was intended to sexually harass IVE. Furthermore, both Jang Wonyoung and the IVE members are still underage.

Currently, both MCs have not released any statement on the situation. On Bang Joo Ho’s Instagram story, there is still a picture of the two before the festival began yesterday.
Comments concerning the situation read,
"I do not need to swear at them because I know lots of people will swear at them for me. They still have not learned that we are not in the same generation anymore. I feel bad that they still have so much to learn."
"The MCs from festivals really have lowered the bar. There are so many f*ckers out there. I thought that maybe it is because they were older people, but they are not that old, so why are they all the same? Even though I am not that surprised."
"Wonyoung is still a minor.. Do they want to get into a controversy? Why are they saying stuff so easily?"
