Along with the latest group photos, each member had their own individual shots.
Wonyoung’s photos gave off “princess” vibes. The idol wore a pink and black dress, statement hot pink stilettos, and they were paired with chunky jewelry.
When the photos were posted, netizens criticized Wonyoung’s visuals, with some saying that her face looked different and that they thought she had work done.

- “Why does her face look so different? Her face shape… She’s not the person I used to know.”
- “Why does she look so tacky?”
- “The background in the first photo is really bad.

- She seems to have gotten less pretty these days. From 2022 to 2024, she was really beautiful.
- “She needs to stop touching her face so much. A face isn’t like a chameleon that changes every time you see it.
I really liked that unique, classy face she had back in the Produce 101 days…
A face isn’t clay that you can just break apart and remake endlessly. There’s a limit to how much you can change it, and once you cross that line, it’s not that you keep getting prettier — it’s only downhill from there.
The people around her should help her find the right balance, but maybe she doesn’t have good people around her.”
Wonyoung debuted at a young age and has been hit with allegations about her visuals.
