IVE Jang Won Young has become a hot topic because of the comments she received on some of her solo advertisements.

On September 15, a critical post about Jang Won Young began trending on enter-talk‘ community board under the title, “INNISFREE, WHO FAILED AFTER HIRING MODEL JANG WONYOUNG“.

The netizen who posted said, "A major subsidiary, Innisfree, had sales of KRW 71.8 billion, which was 19.3% less than the same time last year“.

In addition, the netizen said, "It also had an operating profit of KRW 3.4 billion, which was 64.2% less than the same time last year. Amorepacific said, "We focused on growing high-functioning products like black tea and cica ingredients, but overall sales and operating profit fell because sales from duty-free channels fell"

The netizen then stated, "When they switched their model from Yoona to Jang Wonyoung, Innisfree stopped being popular. If you want to know why Jang Wonyoung's looks are bad, then you should ask how she can make a whole company fail."

Finally, the netizen said, "Let's compare the CF scenes of Yonna and Jang Wonyong."

The netizen then listed all the comments as the following:

(Don't feed the troll) You're referencing an article from the first part of the year, when Jang Wonyoung became a model in the second half. And the fallout from Corona touched the entire world. Even China's sales have decreased, as reported in the media.

Why should a company's profits be blamed on the model? zz; because everyone now buys Olive Young products, other beauty salons have had poor outcomes.

Even though, Jang Wonyoung is now shooting ten solo CFs? Just attempt to hate on her; we won't be upset.

While you have an inferiority feeling over Pann, Jang Wonyoung is shooting Cfs and enjoying her virtuous life.

We are not insulted.

What are your thoughts on this?

Choi Si Hoon, known from Single’s Inferno and newlywed husband of singer Ailee, is facing backlash after being linked to a controversy from Wavve’s queer reality show ToGetHer.

Fans discovered that Choi is allegedly the CEO of the influencer agency representing Ri Won, a cast member now at the center of a growing scandal.

The situation started when castmate Han Gyeol spoke up, claiming Ri Won once suggested an overseas trip that felt more like a shady meeting than a casual hangout.

“I thought it was a fun vacation invite at first,” Han Gyeol said, “but when they started talking about meals and date-like things, I realized something was wrong. It felt like an inappropriate setup.”
Han Gyeol added, “Using someone’s sexuality as a shield for suspicious actions is not okay in this industry.”

Ri Won responded by saying it was all a misunderstanding and that the trip was mentioned casually during a conversation about food. “We joked about going to that country after talking about food,” Ri Won said.

However, things got more intense when Ri Won admitted to having a past as a 'beotbang' (adult streaming) BJ. “I know I’m not trustworthy right now, and I appeared on TV while hiding my past. That’s why I shared some proof—I was desperate,” Ri Won explained.

Ri Won also shared a blurred message from another cast member that accused them of fake dating and lying about knowing someone from Billboard. “You said you’d introduce me to a Billboard contact. Then give me their name and title,” the message read. “You just keep switching your targets.”

Ri Won replied, “He’s the team leader at Billboard Korea and also my influencer agency CEO.”
This comment led online users to dig deeper—and some claimed the CEO Ri Won mentioned is none other than Choi Si Hoon, Ailee’s husband.

Currently on his honeymoon with Ailee, Choi is now getting unwanted attention. Some netizens brought up his alleged past as an adult BJ and now, his possible involvement in this controversy.

On Ailee’s Instagram post from April 30, one fan wrote, “Unnie, sorry to bother you during your honeymoon, but please search Choi Si Hoon’s name. A female BJ said she’s signed to his company, and he supposedly arranged a meeting for her with a just-turned 19-year-old girl.”

As the issue grew, Ri Won spoke out again on May 1 to calm things down. “The person I mentioned in the messages was just someone who gave me advice,” Ri Won clarified. “He’s not my agency CEO, like some people assumed. I thought he could help with music, but he never made any business offer.”

Ri Won ended by saying, “I’m sorry for causing any confusion and discomfort to others with my personal remarks.”

So far, Choi Si Hoon and Ailee have not made public statements about the situation.
