IVE’s Wonyoung made a memorable appearance on the red carpet, sporting a decorated eye patch.

On September 22, IVE took part in the '2024 Pepsi Festa' as one of the featured performers. Wonyoung caught everyone's attention on the red carpet, donning an eye patch adorned with star-shaped and heart stickers, adding a personal touch.

Fans revealed that Wonyoung has been dealing with recurring eye styes, which has led her to wear the patch over her right eye.

Netizens have commented that decorating an eye patch, even for medical reasons, "might start trending" due to Wonyoung’s influence. A new word, "an-kkoo," has even emerged, combining "andae" (eye patch) and "koomida" (to decorate), reflecting the consistent fascination with her style.

Reactions include:

"Lol, it looks like decorating an eye patch might become a trend, even if there’s nothing wrong with your eyes"

"Princess, don’t be sick T_T You look so pretty even with the eye patch."

"Is it a sty? The decorated patch makes it look conceptual and stylish."

"She got a sty during the tour when fireworks debris hit her eye on stage, and it seems to keep recurring. T_T"

"When Wonyoung wears it, even an eye patch looks like fashion."

"An-kkoo looks amazing, but I hope you recover soon!"

"The eye patch is cute, but it must be uncomfortable. Get well soon!"

"You’re beautiful even with one eye covered. Please get better soon!"
