IVE’s Jang Wonyoung demonstrated his images and talent at this year’s edition KBS Global Gayo Daechukje Festival. She performed on the stage, led the show as MC, and prepared a collaboration stage with the senior group Jinusean.
However, her performance with the duo caused some criticism online as many netizens felt uncomfortable with the age difference.
I just watched the perch video yesterday… Jinusean, who is 50 years old, appears as he is, but why does Wonyoung, who is older than Uhm Jung-hwa’s daughter, appear instead of Uhm Jung-hwa??? ? Is it okay to sing that song while looking up and down?

I’m watching the show now and I don’t understand why Jinusean, who is in his fifties, goes out as usual, but their partner must be Jang Wonyoung, who could be their daughter. And why do they look down on her while she sings?
Jinusean and Jang Wonyoung. .. There is nothing wrong with Wonyoung. . . I can’t help but cringe at the fact that Jinusean remains the same, with only the woman singing the chorus forever transforming into a younger woman; ; ; ;

Jinusean and Wonyoung… Wonyoung didn’t do anything wrong… it’s just disturbing to me that they go out as usual every time and just change partners with someone younger every time…
I like Jinusean, but when Jang Won-young enters, I feel really disgusted. No, he’s about the same age as my father… Wonyoung, don’t look up and down… Just show up at the front… look up at the sky…

Even though I like Jinusean…he suddenly became disgusting as soon as Jang Wonyoung was added…aren’t they old enough to be his father? Don’t look down on it… just look straight ahead… or into space…
However, an online community forum attracted attention after netizens pointed out a certain detail of their performance.
Jang Wonyoung and the Jinusean collaboration. While many were uncomfortable with this stage, it turns out that whenever Jinu got close to Wonyoung, he closed his eyes and rapped.
– OP
Jinusean also sent her a gift, thanking her for doing the stage with them.
Such a beautiful and lovely gift. It was an honor to perform with you, sunbaenim. Jinusean!
