IVE Jang Won-young is embroiled in controversy in Korea over her "attitude."
On the 24th, a post titled, 'Jang Won-young is too much' was posted on Mom Café. In the leaked video, Jang Won-young is seen flinching at a male elementary school student who suddenly approached her and stretched out his hand towards her body. Jang Won-young flinches and rushes away. Afterwards, the student is pushed aside by staff who were following her.
The scene is causing controversy among Mom Café members who pointed out Jang Won-young's attitude. Members wrote, "Such an absurd thing happened from an idol that's loved by elementary kids.. she should've managed her expressions properly!"
Others came forward writing, "This is a bit sad.. I have a son his age that's also a big fan of hers. It's just a young kid, if only she had managed her expressions and didn't avoid him and smiled at him once, it would've been a precious memory for him for the rest of his life." "This is horrible, just look at the way she she looks at him, tsk tsk.." "Her face looks like something nasty touched her.." "Her true colors came out in that moment." "It's clear she never had a kind personality from the beginning.. " That's too harsh for a young kid..."
In response, other Mom Café members retorted, "It's wrong to touch someone else's body carelessly, it's natural that she flinched from surprise.." "He should be glad she didn't scream.." "Jang Won-young is someone's precious child too.." "Educate your kid properly!"
Afterwards, a war of words poured out on community boards and sparks flew throughout 'Mom Café.' Parent abuse has been a trending topic on the board due to the extreme choice of a first year homeroom teacher at Seoi Elementary School following criticisms from anonymous Mom Café members.
As a result criticisms in the community board between the members and elementary school students became overheated with some stating, "There are mothers with normal opinions here that don't deserve the criticism.. this has gone too far!"
- [+15,280, -264] He could've been reaching out to touch her arm or chest? Especially in such a dirty hideous world, how was she to know? It's the parents at fault for letting him roam about.
- [+6,092, -15] How was she to know whether he was trying to go for her arm or chest?? Of course her first reaction was to flinch.
- [+4,856, -32] Are they crazyㅋㅋㅋㅋ? He could've been trying to touch anything..? Have Mom Café members lost their brains?!
- [+3,418, -28] The age doesn't matter.. anyone would flinch if someone tried to touch their bare skin like that ㅋㅋㅋ

- [+1,837, -122] How the hell did they raise their daughter to flinch like that on a choding?? Must be this new MZ Gen.. she should take some time and reflect!!
- [+1,590, -56] Elementary chodings aren't your typical chodings nowadays. She was right to defend herself.
- [+1,078, -2] "Never touch other people's bodies!" That's what they're all taught in school.. raise your kids better!
- [+707, -80] That kid just reached out to touch her without thinking and Jang Won-young flinched from the sudden touch, what's the issue? Why leak out clips and turn them into criminals?
- [+587, -3] Would you like it if some random man on the streets suddenly touched your daughter because she was pretty??! This Mom Café must be a gathering of monsters!
