Previously, netizens had shared concerns about the IVE members’ schedules. In particular, Wonyoung gained attention for her hectic schedule when it was posted on an online forum.
December 14: Going to the Philippines to MC for the 2023 Asia Artist Awards December 15: Returning to Korea to MC and perform for KBS Song Festival December 16: Attending two fansign events in the suburbs December 18: Going to China
While the initial posts were mainly about Wonyoung, recent tweets from the official IVE X account showcase the concerns of fans for all the members, many of whom are still young.
Over the past few days, IVE’s official X account shared details about the fansigns the members would be attending in December.

And this is the company that supposedly takes fan feedback into account? It’s awards season and end of year festivals, you know the girls will be busy rehearsing for that plus the tour, can’t you skip these fansing? Think about their well being @STARSHIPent https://t.co/pI0XtqVXef

While IVE is one of the top girl groups, all the members are very young, with maknae Leeseo only being 16. Netizens have always wanted idols to balance their activities with rest, but IVE’s schedule seems very intense at such a busy time of the year.
