Why does Wonyoung refuse to make eye contact with other artists? (1 Viewer)

[Drew_B]

Whenever she is hosting and giving out the trophy or during back stage interviews when everyone is leaving she never makes eye contact with the groups. She barely even bows.

Makes me wonder why she even resigned if she doesn't enjoy being around other people.

Well you only have to bow if you make eye contact so if she doesn't enjoy bowing she'd likely avoid eye contact

 

[Magician]

that's not true?
I often watch her Music Bank cuts and she always bowed and congratulated the winners when she gave them their flowers or trophy
Sometimes she was unable to bow more deeply bc she was wearing s short skirt, but even then she tried to bow

It's also considered rude in Korea to look directly into the eyes of a senior

Maybe because everything about her has been knit-picked and torn apart down to every detail, even when she breaths the wrong way . . . like a thread about not making eye contact o.o

Yeah, precisely. She's been in the public eye from an extraordinarily young age, and these days, literally every little thing she does is heavily judged. Sure, she's extremely famous, but with that fame comes intense scrutiny from the public... She may have enjoyed being around people earlier but maybe maybe, just maybe this scrutiny has made her far too conscious to meet other ppl's eyes.. just a thought

Though of course that's assuming what op's saying is true. Not watched too many Wonyoung cuts from mubank but from whatever little I've seen she seems respectful enough and she does her job well. Love the way she carries herself

Mannerisms? More like the animal kingdom. Dont look a Lion or Tiger in the eye cause its considered a challenge to the death.

I'm just referring to Korea using this whole "no eye contact/must always bow to seniors" vendetta to keep having power over the youth and keeping them in line.

She probably just doesn't want another scandal to happen

Yeah, this. Anyone she looks at could be a scandal, I would be antisocial too.
