IVE Gaeul’s Story About When Her Mom Went to Their First Fan Concert Drew Mixed Reactions From Netizens

In a clip shared by user @for_everwonyoung when IVE guested on Knowing Bros which aired last April 15th, members took their time to promote their latest pre-release song "Kitsch."

Member Gaeul also shared a story about when her mom came to visit them at their first fan concert. The idol said that instead of going to her, her mom went directly to Wonyoung and said "Wonyoung-ah, I think you're prettier than Gaeul."

Despite Gaeul's efforts to retell the story in a funny way mimicking her mom's voice, netizens couldn't help but feel bad that she had to experience that.

Netizens showed their concerns, saying no one shall ever hear that from their own mother and that if they were Gaeul they would cry.

They commented:

OMG NOT HER MOTHER SAYING THAT poor Gaeul
Nooo Gaeul you are both gorgeous
I would cry
NOOOO GAEUL HWUAHSHAHAHA HOW COULD HER MOTHER SAY THAT
If she's hurt, she's probably not going to tell the whole world. She looks comfortable sharing it, don't ask what kind of mother she has
I WOULD CRY
she's not only being roasted by Rei, she's already been roasted by her mom before
Her expression and tone really be expressing the moms
if I'm Gaeul then I would say that Wonyoung's mom is also prettier than my mom
The trauma that would give me. Gaeul, you’re just as pretty
Gaeul's mother is FANGIRLING WONY
I think my mom wouldn’t be my mom at that point. She’d be a stranger and her new daughter would be Wonyoung bruh
poor Gaeul 😭😭 anyway where can I watch this??
damn that would hurt
THIS IS FUNNY AND SAD AT THE SAME TIME. I HOPE THAT GAEUL KNOWS THAT SHE'S SO BEAUTIFUL
no, she is not honest you are the prettiest believe me Gaeul
that’s actually really sad
I'D CRY but i love how theyre just joking about it. Gaeul and Wonyoung are both fairies YASSSS
Nothing to worry Gaeul. My mom hates me as well but adores my younger sibling way too much for the usual reason.
No because what kind of mother would say that about their child like that…
Gaeul please remember that ur pretty as Wonyoung
If I was Gaeul I would straight up say to my mom “Do I know you?”
