Despite catching Wonhee reporting comments during the group’s latest livestream, ILLIT is still facing backlash and hate from many concerned individuals.
On May 14, 2024, ILLIT held a live stream on Weverse to interact with their fans. Throughout the livestream, Wonhee sat in the corner with her phone in front of her, frequently checking and responding to comments from fans.
Despite fans’ quick notice of her sour expression, it was clear that she appeared sad and serious. Despite her attempts to interact with fans, her attention was primarily focused on the comments.
Sharp-eyed viewers were quick to notice the idol reporting comments throughout the livestream. Fans speculate that she may have caught not just one, but multiple hate comments aimed at the girls and Wonhee.
Does this kid have a live broadcast commemorating the 50th day of his debut, but is deleting malicious comments with his own hands because he doesn’t deserve to be congratulated? Since it’s an adult’s problem, let’s hold only the adults responsible. Is it because the kids did something wrong that they have to endure criticism that isn’t even this kind of criticism?

Fans were moved by Wonhee’s decision to handle the situation quietly without disrupting the other members. It was also noticed that Yunah took the time to read the encouraging comments that the group was receiving while Wonhee was addressing the negative comments.

It was the idol’s response to a positive comment that caused the most heartbreak. She was observed reading the comments and audibly gasping upon encountering a positive one. Wonhee seemed truly taken aback by the comment, gazing up at the camera and sending a finger heart to the commenter.
Wonhee, I like this person after seeing a good comment… … … .. Really, what is the reason for leaving a negative comment on a person like this and letting them see it while installing the Weverse app? https://t.co/s0NNmfGYiV pic.twitter.com/zBA8fZHAxs

Despite being only 16 years old, Wonhee was born in 2007 and has already been in the industry for less than two months. Concerns have been raised about the potential long-term impact of the hate comments she has received, as she is still very young. Many are arguing that ILLIT and Wonhee should not be the focus of the hate, as the current controversy primarily involves adults in HYBE Labels. Korean netizens have expressed sympathy for Wonhee’s situation.
Several comments were posted,
- “The fact that she likes the positive comment so much makes this even more upsetting. I hope they can resolve this issue.”
- “Wow, my heart hurts…”
- “Crazy, why would you tune in just to spread hate?”
- “Baby bunny Wonhee, you made no mistakes. Please only look and hear good things.”
- “She’s still a baby…”
- “Their company needs to start taking accountability for them.”
- “Ah, Wonhee is so cute. I hope she only looks at good things.”
- “I’m not a fan, but I support ILLIT. Baby Wonhee, please only look at good things.”
- “What crime did Wonhee commit? The ones at fault are the adults.”
- “I hope those who left hate comments die.”
