Jang Wonyoung (for_everyoung10) is facing criticism from Chinese netizens after referring to Hong Kong as a “country.”
In the recently released “2025 MAMA Behind” video on IVE’s YouTube channel, Wonyoung expressed her excitement about the event being held in Hong Kong. While talking, she said, “We should eat something delicious,” and added, “I like Hong Kong. There’s so much good food. Hong Kong is one of my favorite countries.”
Chinese netizens were angered by her referring to Hong Kong as a “country,” claiming that Hong Kong is Chinese territory and arguing that her words go against China’s “One China” principle, calling it disrespectful to national sovereignty.
Right now on Weibo, not only Wonyoung but IVE as a group is facing a boycott from Chinese users.
