When IVE made their debut, fans and netizens were quick to critique the styling choices, particularly after Jang Wonyoung stood out prominently in white while the other members donned black attire.
Responding to the initial criticisms, the team behind IVE's styling made significant changes that garnered positive feedback from netizens.
The new outfits showcased a sense of unity among the members while still allowing each idol's unique personality to shine through.
Recent Controversy Over Yujin's Look
However, despite the overall positive reception, a recent look worn by Yujin sparked debate among fans.
Some fans felt that her styling and accessories were less elaborate compared to the rest of the group, leading to discussions about fairness in styling distribution.
Defensive Fans' Reactions
Following IVE's world tour performance in Rosemont on March 27, the group's Twitter account shared photos of the members in customized looks featuring various accessories, colors, and textures.
Idk why people and even fans keep saying the members don’t have any right to make decision, did they even watch ive on? There’s a lot of part when they introduce the hairstyle they wanted to do. https://t.co/gaPcU4GufL pic.twitter.com/Bt5FawLyYG
