Netizens Discuss Why IVE’s Wonyoung Is So Successful As An Idol

IVE’s Wonyoung is one of the most popular and successful idols ever. As the it-girl of the 4th generation, she has had her fair share of haters, but no one can deny her success and prowess as an idol.

A netizen recently gave their opinion on her route to success. It was chalked up to her effort to be a good idol in terms of working hard endlessly and staying away from controversial actions.

Of course, she succeeded due to her god-given visuals and proportions, but even though she debuted at a young age, she didn’t have a single controversy about her words or actions. (Not sh*t like the strawberry thing.) And it is due to her own efforts that she doesn’t have a single controversy. Just as the behind-the-scenes video from earlier, she also checked all the Japanese translations and mistakes for her script at the ceremony. Even though there were so many scripts, she memorized all of them. That’s why she’s been the MC for a few ceremonies for a few years… Of course, I think her singing skills are still a little lacking, but she’s been showing her efforts to improve not just once, but each time. It’s so endearing. I thought that she would succeed no matter what because she works so hard. And I’m also from an English kindergarten so I know, but just because you come from an English kindergarten, it doesn’t mean you’ll be good at English. She made the effort to continue speaking English regularly, that’s why she’s good. She is also good at Japanese. She has so many schedules, but she’s never shown how tired she is. I don’t like people treating celebrities as gods, but Wonyoung really has so many things to respect about her.

• Park Jin Young didn’t praise her for nothing. Although she succeeded due to her god-given visuals, but she was able to maintain the success due to her personal professionalism. Only those who can withstand the weight of the crown can become a queen.
• She’s really the final boss of self-management. She was already a wall, but add on effort to it and she became a god.
• She’s a really impressive person.
• Wow… But it’s so impressive how she managed to memorize all of that by herself. It looks so hard.
• As a fact, she has the most experience out of all 4th generation girl group members.

Internationally, the term “Wonyoungism” has been coined out of inspiration. It refers to Wonyoung’s self care and success habits, including her confidence, exercise, diet, skin care, academia, and more. It encourages girls to be confident and kind, and to work hard.
