Ives Jang Wonyoung Sparks Outfit Controversy at Newcastle vs Team K League Match
Jang Wonyoung of the girl group Ive found herself at the center of an outfit controversy during the ceremonial kickoff at the match between Newcastle United and Team K League. The event took place on the evening of the 30th at Suwon World Cup Stadium as part of the 2025 Coupang Play Series first match, where Ive not only performed the kickoff but also entertained the crowd with a halftime show.
The members of Ive showcased their individuality by wearing redesigned blue-toned tops as they made their entrance onto the field. Jang Wonyoung, in particular, stood out in a halter-neck mini dress paired with shorts for the kickoff. After her kick went slightly astray, she was caught on camera smiling while covering her face with both hands, which quickly became a talking point. She also made headlines by blowing kisses to the audience, demonstrating her confidence.
However, this moment did not go without scrutiny. As footage of her outfit circulated on broadcast and social media, some netizens began to express concerns over her choice of attire, questioning if it was too revealing for a ceremonial kickoff. Comments included remarks like, "If it were stagewear, it wouldn’t matter, but it seems too short and revealing for a kickoff," and, "It doesnt fit the occasion and place," with suggestions of a wardrobe misstep by the stylist.
Conversely, many praised her appearance, stating, "She looks so beautiful," "She truly resembles a Barbie doll," and, "It was perfect for brightening up the event since they werent there to play football," acknowledging her presence as a K-pop star.
After the event, Ive’s leader communicated with fans through a platform, stating, "Arent our Ive uniforms so cute?" and clarified, "We each requested to redesign our outfits as we wished."
The event highlighted the varying perceptions of fashion in performance settings, especially in the context of sports, and sparked discussions among fans and critics alike.
