Netizens are buzzing with strong opinions after IVE’s Jang Wonyoung was spotted with what some are calling her "b*tch face" in recent photos.

Screenshots from videos went viral, showcasing her serious expression. This sparked a mixed bag of reactions online, revealing just how divided the fandom is.

Some defended her, saying things like, "Wonyoung's not frowning; she's just expressionless. People complain she’s too much when she's expressive, so what do they really want?" Another user added humorously, "With a b*tch face like that, did someone block your WiFi? Or are you just upset that Lee Jooeun stole the spotlight in Taiwan?"

Critics, however, didn’t hold back, questioning why she can't even manage a smile. "Shouldn’t she just naturally look happy?" one commenter objected.

The debate intensified as fans pointed out that Wonyoung had been smiling in other footage from the trip, proving that her expressions were not as one-dimensional as they seemed.

This incident has opened a wider conversation about the expectations placed on public figures, particularly young idols, to maintain a perpetually cheerful demeanor in front of the camera. As fans argue over her expression, it raises the question: should stars always be 'on' for their audience?
