IVE’s Jang Wonyoung can't seem to get away from the people who criticize her for being too thin.

Jang Wonyoung is always chosen as one of the 4th generation's most beautiful people. But there are still many different opinions about how she looks.

On September 24, a post about Jang Wonyoung began trending on Nate's community board under the title, "ISN'T JANG WONYOUNG STARVING AT THIS POINT?".

The netizen who wrote the post raise concern over Jang Wonyoung's alarming skinny appearance. The netizen stated, "I hope that she is healthy. I'm freaking worried".

Other netizens quickly shared their opinion regarding the post:

This is definitely a cause for concern. She doesn't eat, right? This isn't a mean comment, and I know she's doing well, but at this point, it's a bit severe.

Does it make sense to you to ask a skinny person if they are starving and say they look like a skeleton? Stop saying that.

Since you can't call fat people "fat," you sure are good at saying mean things to skinny people. I really detest this.

Focus on yourself…

She's eating well, and I bet she's healthier than you.

No, but I thought Jang Wonyoung was freakishly skinny when she was in Produce48. But maybe because I'm used to her current body now, when I look back at her Produce48 days, she just looks pretty skinny;;; I really thought she was very skinny in Produce48, but now that she's even skinnier, she doesn't look as skinny as she did then.

The battle between NewJeans (NJZ) and HYBE just got more intense! During a court hearing, NewJeans presented evidence claiming that ILLIT’s concept, styling, and choreography are too similar to theirs!

On March 7, the Seoul Central District Court held a hearing on ADOR’s injunction request to stop NewJeans (Minji, Hanni, Danielle, Haerin, Hyein) from operating independently and signing advertising contracts without ADOR’s approval.

NewJeans’ legal team didn’t hold back, stating, “HYBE launched ILLIT as a copy of NewJeans. They tried to damage NewJeans’ brand and replace them.”

They added, “Even HYBE employees noticed it. NewJeans debuted three years earlier, but their project plans look shockingly similar. The structure, documents, and content are nearly identical.”

NewJeans’ side even compared hanbok photoshoots of both groups, saying, “At first glance, you can’t tell which one is NewJeans and which one is ILLIT.”

They added, “Why did they have to copy the same colors, styles, and textures? Even fans were the first to point this out, saying, ‘This is too much.’”

They also accused ILLIT of copying NewJeans’ iconic choreography. They presented a side-by-side comparison video of NewJeans’ “Attention” dance move, claiming that ILLIT directly copied it.

“Some people said ILLIT was just paying homage to their seniors, but NewJeans never gave permission for that,” they stated. “This is an unauthorized and almost identical copy of our signature moves.”

Instead of responding to these accusations, NewJeans’ side claimed that HYBE launched an internal audit against Min Hee-jin and engaged in media play. They added, “HYBE simply said, ‘We can’t determine if this is plagiarism, so let’s wait for the court’s ruling.’”

NewJeans members are fighting to leave ADOR, claiming their exclusive contract ended on November 28, 2023.

They even announced their new group name, ‘NJZ’, and have started independent promotions, including a song release at ComplexCon Hong Kong on March 23.

However, ADOR insists that NewJeans is under contract until July 31, 2029. The agency has filed lawsuits to prove the contract is still valid and to stop NewJeans from signing solo advertisement deals.

As the legal battle continues, fans are left wondering—is this just the beginning of an even bigger fight?
