IVE‘s Wonyoung recently gained attention for coughing at a fansign. Rather than worrying about the germs or her health, everyone was blown away by how gorgeous she looked doing it.

Wonyoung coughed delicately into her fist before taking a sip of water and apologizing to the fan in Japanese. She did all of this without losing her composure even once.

고멘네….. 고멘네…..

Gomene (“sorry” in Japanese)…Gomene… I think I saw this scene many times before… She’s practically an anime’s innocent female lead…

Her fansign photos from that day were also legendary.

How can someone look so elegant while coughing?

Is this a CF for water or what?

Netizens were blown away by how much she looked and sounded like an anime character.

Netizen comments. | theqoo FR, she’s the stuff of Japanese animes… Princess. Wow… Frail beauty girlie. Her charms as an idol overflows. Just how happy must her parents be? The legendary “gomen” didn’t come from Isahara Satomi, but Wonyoungie. Perfect. Princess…

Anything the girl does will go viral for sure! That’s how big a star she is.

 She made coughing look elegant.
