Korean girl group IVE member Jang Won Young was invited to attend Paris Fashion Week events earlier, with delicate features, captivating eyes, and a stunning body proportion that became the focus of the entire internet. Later, her popularity skyrocketed due to rumors with G-Dragon. With fame comes controversy, and recently Jang Won Young has once again become a hot topic, criticized by mainland netizens for one reason, completely unrelated to Kwon Ji Yong!
During her recent trip to Paris Fashion Week, Zhang Yuanying not only attended the miu miu 2023 Spring/Summer show as a guest but also appeared as the Korean brand ambassador at the brand retrospective exhibition and dinner of the French jewelry brand Fred. That evening, Zhang Yuanying wore a two-piece black evening gown that pushed the boundaries of sensuality, paired with earrings, a necklace, a ring, and a bracelet from the Fred Force 10 series, shining in the most dazzling manner. To highlight the exquisite jewelry, Zhang Yuanying styled her long black hair up, adorned with a hairpin, exuding an elegant and sleek feel, with a flawless and stunning look that is almost impeccable.
However, Zhang Yuanying may never have imagined that the hairpin on her head would make her the target of criticism. All the talk started because of a video. Zhang Yuanying specially filmed a short video for this Fred event, in which she introduced her OOTD for the day and mentioned that the hairpin on her head was brought from Korea to Paris, wanting to showcase Korean beauty to Paris. It was precisely because of this hairpin design and her statement that mainland netizens criticized her.
Netizens pointed out that the phoenix pattern on the hairpin is a traditional totem of the Chinese nation, not Korean traditional. Some netizens also revealed Zhang Yuanying’s family background, believing that her grandfather is from Shandong, and the family has not naturalized in Korea. Of course, there are also many Korean fans who have come out to defend Zhang Yuanying. As of now, Zhang Yuanying herself and her styling team have not made any statements. I believe that for Zhang Yuanying, who is only 18 years old and just debuted, she will have to get used to different opinions sooner or later. For those who have watched the related video, what are your thoughts?
