Netizens doubt IVE Wonyoung's potential transition to acting

AKP STAFF

Netizens are talking about IVE Wonyoung's potential transition to acting.

On December 17th, netizens took to a popular online community to share their insights on why the journey might pose challenges for the young star following a post prompting a discussion. 

One netizen wrote that Wonyoung may face a challenge in convincing audiences and industry professionals of her versatility beyond her idol persona due to her youthful and playful facial expressions and nasal-sounding voice. 

Other netizens chimed in the comments saying such as: "I know people thought Wonyoung couldn't do well as a host but she's doing so well. I bet she'll do well if she really decides to transition to acting."

"Wonyoung's true voice is actually on the lower side. Her 'nasal voice' is just a forced one when she wants to sound polite like a flight attendant."

"Wonyoung do have a strong idol persona."

"She's successful without doing acting lol"

"I don't think she'll transition to acting but if she does, I think she'll do just fine."

"Yeah, she's pretty but it's giving an influencer, not an actress."

"I can't imagine her acting because her idol persona is so strong."

"I bet she'd be successful as an actress too."

The headline says netizens doubt her transition, but the comments in the article says the opposite.

The headline should have read, "Internet trolls try to shoot arrows at Wonyoung again."

"and nasal-sounding voice... "

Yeah. Listen to this, then:


I realized something clearly going on after stumbles upon this :

After watching her since her Produce era and hated her since she rolled her eyes on Ahn Yujin (or so I thought back then)...

The demands clearly makes Starship set her to sounds cute, fresh, and young. Knowing the demography of her fans : young children, teenagers, mommy's, grandmothers, sisters, and teachers, means that she has tons of female fans. When the fanboys come, Wonyoung sets herself as the cool, elegant and charming girl. She doesn't talk that much, keeping the reasonable distance.

However with female fans, she acts so cute, gentle, and accept the princess-like character.

To her clients, she serves them politely and professionally. Willing to do everything they want.

To the staff, she talks normally.

To her closest staff, she talks in a very friendly manner.

With IVE members, if it's truly to them (not in the scripted way), she talks to them casually. Laugh, cry, and holding their cringe together.

With Izone members, she talks gently to them actually (nowadays. Before when she was an Izone member, she acted so cutely to them).

In her daily lives, unlike in her Izone days, she's actually so serious about everything especially when monitoring and judging her own performance.

She's so private about her family and only mentioned her mother so far.

She acted like a rich and fabulous young woman when she needs to do modelling or advertising.

She talks humbly and rather honesty to senior artist.

She talks politely to her peers and junior artist. Mostly distance. She clearly knows fans of other fandom dislike her talking to their idols because of their rivalry sense, just like she knows when K-netz criticize her for not shaking her hair, or making too much expression when she performed Eleven.

She concealed the pains everytime she's bleeding and brush it off nonchalantly.

She conditioned herself to every fans come to her. However, she always tried to memorize fans as many as she could (sadly, it is due to some obsessed fans that want to be remembered and noticed by her) .

I think she can do well as an actress. She's not as authentic as when she was in Izone, yes, but I understand now when JYP said she's the perfect idol. She's so flexible with many concepts thrown to her.

She always review herself and good at filtering people's feedback. She's good conditioning she herself to every people's request and client's demands. You know, it means that you need to separate your Identity to fulfill everyone else's egoist expectations of you.

Now I found the best part of her : the calmness in her to tackle things that other people asked her to do. I don't think I can do that.

Obviously she learns a lot compare to her beginning days as innocent idol.
