IVE fans notice Jang Wonyoung getting flashier outfits than the other members

Video: Debate over Jang Wonyoung’s Gayo Daejun outfit getting all the spotlight out of IVE?

1. [+114] The backdancers should’ve been dressed in different outfits. The other members have the same color outfits as the backdancers but only one member is wearing something different. Of course people are going to assume that they’re piling all of the attention on Jang Wonyoung then.

2. [+74] I don’t get why people are accusing us of making a big deal out of this when she’s the only one wearing white and clearly standing out from everyone else?

3. [+55] They’ve had a few outfit controversies but this one is pretty bad. I really thought the other members were backdancers.

4. [+33] I don’t get why people are saying the coordi didn’t know the backdancers were also wearing black when the coordi is the one who dresses the backdancers too ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

5. [+49] I don’t know much about IVE but I wasn’t able to tell the members and the backdancers apart for about five seconds… I thought Jang Wonyoung was a solo

6. [+19] The moment I saw this, I just thought… what are these stage outfits??? Wonyoung’s the only one wearing the flashiest hair and accessories with a white outfit that draws all of your attention. Even if the other members technically have white in their outfits too, it’s so minimal, they’re basically just wearing black like the other backdancers. The coordi is an issue considering how much of the attention is focused on one member. I know people are defending this saying it’s a concept but you can still uphold concepts while differentiating the members from the backdancers. It’s all up to how talented the coordi is, and this clearly shows that their coordi is not skilled enough for the job. Wonyoung herself is already a show stopper and then to pile even more attention grabbing accessories on her seems pretty intentional on the coordi’s part ㅋㅋㅋ

7. [+6] When I first saw this, I thought the intro was a Jang Wonyoung solo or something. Jang Wonyoung has always stood out on their group stages.. even if their matches matched, she’d have flashier hair or something else. The other members usually have normal hair styles but Jang Wonyoung will have a ribbon or something extra. There have always been subtle differences to make her stand out.

8. [+26] I’m only here because the algorithm recommended this video so even to the eye of a non-fan like me, it does look like a solo stage

9. [+28] This basically looks like a solo stage…?

10. [+80] It’s not that she’s the only one dressed differently, it’s also that the other members are dressed similarly to the backdancers

11. [+14] Should’ve dressed the backdancers in something else

12. [+12] She’s practically a solo singer

13. [+14] Hmm, I have a feeling that the coordi didn’t do this intentionally but was rather ordered to from people higher up. You can tell from their other outfits that she’s always dressed a little flashier than the rest.

14. [+8] Anyone can tell that the other members look like backdancers. To the eyes of non-fans, no one would be able to tell that the other members are singers too. This is clearly an example of preferential treatment.

15. [+6] Their company is clearly trying to push Jang Wonyoung, and by making it this obvious, it’s only inevitable that they’re going to encourage akgaes in the process too. There’s no way the other members feel good about this either. This is basically a ticking time bomb to ruining the team. It has barely been two months since they debuted and this is already their second controversy… Starship is just never good at their jobs, are they…
