On Shenzhen News Web, an article was dedicated on criticizing the five members of Wonder Girls… strictly and solely on their looks. The article included over 20 images of the photos of Wonder Girls extracted from their featured episode on last week’s Happy Camp, and insulted the girls heavily on how unattractive their looks were based on these set of photos.
“Wonder Girls in the promotional pictures and Wonder Girls in real life are very different. What happened to the beautiful legs and charming body?
Ye Eun’s hairstyle makes her look like a high-class madam from the 1930s. Sohee’s expressions are always so stiff. Is it because she’s got too much botox in her face?”
Note that these have been strictly translated from an excerpt of the original article, and no exaggerations have been made in the process.
Furious, Korean and Chinese netizens alike have commented, “Why is China doing this?” “This is undoubtedly a defamation,” “It is very rude to give criticisms on someone’s looks,” etc.

But yes Chinese press tends to be extremely sensationalist, they write this kind of articles and notes in order to sell.
I'm not even a fan of WG but I think everyone (excluding Ye Eun, imo) looks really classy and pretty in their current style.
