A single holiday outfit has divided the internet. IVE's Wonyoung caught everyone's eye at the 2025 SBS Gayo Daejeon on December 25, but the discourse following her performance was anything but festive.
The Controversy Behind the Santa Costume
According to reports from Koreaboo, Wonyoung's stage outfit—a festive Santa-inspired mini dress—became a target of criticism on various Korean forums. Critics argued that the dress's length was "inappropriate" for a televised event, leading to a heated exchange between netizens who demanded more conservative styling and fans who defended it as a standard performance costume.
The Unexpected Comparison with Jennie
What started as a critique of a single dress quickly evolved into a larger discussion involving BLACKPINK's Jennie. Netizens began comparing Wonyoung's visual direction to the bold fashion choices previously made by Jennie. This comparison highlights how top-tier K-pop idols are often held to differing standards of 'appropriateness' based on their perceived public image and agency branding.
