Netizens are angry at WIRED‘s “Disrespect” towards IVE‘s Liz during their recent video.

Recently, IVE took part in WIRED’s “Answer The Web’s Most Searched Questions,” where they looked up the most searched questions about them.

Along with group questions, each member had their own section, and Liz was no exception.

The first question seemed normal, and Liz answered it adorably.

But Liz and the members rightly got confused when the next question is, “Is Kim Jiwon left-handed?”

Liz quickly realized that the searches weren’t to do with her, as she explained, “Was this looking up the other Kim Ji Won?”

She was referring to the veteran actress Kim Ji Won, who has just gained attention for her role in Queen of Tears and happens to be left-handed.

Luckily, the last question seemed general enough for Liz to answer.

When the video was posted, netizens shared their anger at the treatment towards Liz as they would have had to do research beforehand and should’ve known that using her real name could cause issues. Others also shared videos that seemingly showed Wonyounh not being impressed at the questions obviously being about the actress Kim Ji Won, not Liz.
still mad at this, wired messed up by using “kim jiwon” because this was obviously about the actress, even liz herself said “was this looking up another kim jiwon?” and wonyoung looked so upset too looking at the staff… they ruined it for liz fuck them pic.twitter.com/9fx5tHl0yp

Many thought WIRED should’ve done more research to ensure Liz had questions specified for her, even if it meant using “IVE’s Liz.”
