The unexpected 'glove-wearing debate' surrounding IVE's Wonyoung has concluded. Wonyoung recently appeared as a guest on the web variety show 'Tenkashya: The Man Who Changes Every Day' on the YouTube channel 'ootbstudio', where she participated in military school 'accompanied enlistment' with EXO's Kai and experienced life in the barracks. In actual military training, Wonyoung completed hellish PT exercises, marching on mountain paths, and training with guerrilla equipment alongside military students. During a scene involving the training exercise 'mountain three-rope crossing', there was a divided opinion among net users regarding how Wonyoung wore her gloves. Some pointed out that she might have mistakenly worn them inside out, as the non-slip coating was on the back of her hand. On the other hand, there were speculations that she intentionally protected the back of her hand because she serves as an ambassador for a jewelry brand, leading to discussions among net users. However, upon viewing the entire footage, it was confirmed that not only Wonyoung but all trainees wore them similarly. The production team also explained in subtitles that 'to reduce friction, these gloves are worn with the non-slip surface facing the back of the hand.' It became clear that this was the correct way to wear them according to the training's purpose. Wonyoung's military enlistment experience has garnered intense interest, with the relevant footage surpassing 4 million views just three days after its release.
