Why is that so?
Recently, ILLIT was caught up in the dispute between Min Hee Jin and the parent group HYBE. Female CEO ADOR accused HYBE of copying NewJeans to create ILLIT. Therefore, BELIFT LAB's girl group was labeled a “copy” and was attacked by many elements with harsh words on social networks. Furthermore, ILLIT is constantly involved in talent controversies. The group was pointed out for their poor singing skills, a disastrous encore, and recently lip-syncing. Among them, Wonhee is currently the most criticized name.
Wonhee – ILLIT member was recruited for her beautiful, trendy visual
In a video spreading on social networks, Wonhee was the first to perform but forgot to… lip-sync her own segment, causing the group to be exposed for using “tricks” right on the live show itself. The group's performance stage in Japan was also “dissected”, Wonhee was pointed out by people for many segments where she did not sing and danced without enthusiasm. Her skill gap caused her to face many malicious comments.
The lip-syncing moment is being criticized on social networks
Wonhee was born in 2007 and is currently only 16 years old. She joined HYBE when she was invited by the group to be an intern thanks to her fresh, on-trend visual. Before participating in the survival show RU Next and winning the final debut, Wonhee only had 1 month to practice her skills. Therefore, Wonhee's idol skills have many shortcomings and are not even rated at a basic level. The rush for Wonhee to debut made people frustrated, criticizing HYBE for “producing instant noodle idols”.

This has also led to a wave of negativity attacking the 16-year-old female idol. There are too many shortcomings in being an idol, it is understandable that the public complains. But things are going further and further when a group of “toxic” netizens don't just stop at commenting on skills, but turn into insults, even pushing idols to the edge. Many idols have suffered from psychological problems and chose extreme endings because of public pressure.
At only 16 years old, he suffered cyber violence, people are extremely worried about Wonhee. Fans asked HYBE to take measures to handle and protect the artists and condemn online violence against idols.

Knet's reaction:
– I hate the way HYBE created this group but I choose not to support any of their products instead of just following them and typing out mean words.
– HYBE is the one who caused this situation.
– This is the first time I've seen an idol directly report malicious comments.
– Oh, the comments section is so horrible, why do people support cyber violence against a child? Just because it's famous, does it deserve such words in return? All the stories that happen are caused by bad GĐST and HYBE, no matter what, ILLIT is just puppets for them to control.
– We protect NewJeans because they are young children but we turn to viciously criticize ILLIT without remembering that ILLIT is also just children…..
– Wonhee was very strong. If I had received such harsh words, I would have had to hide at home for the rest of my life.
– HYBE brought out a pile of trash and forced the kids to clean it up.
– The staff surely knew that there would be a lot of malicious comments but still let them read them? What kind of work is that? Is this how companies treat idols? Forcing idols to clean up the dirty things created by the company.
– Every time any idol has psychological problems due to the malice of the online community, everyone takes pity on them and plays the role of a healthy person. But then continued to attack other artists.
– Through things like that, I feel that Jang Wonyoung is mentally tough. From the time Producer 48 was heavily criticized just for reaching #1 until now, their re-debut with IVE is still being cursed for being too prominent, even eating, drinking, and walking are being scrutinized and attacked. But I've never seen her lose her spirit. Celebrities should practice psychology like Jang Wonyoung.
