Some netizens felt that there was discrimination against some members.

  • “They just call themselves a group, but Ahn Yujin and Jang Wonyoung are the most money earning sunbaes LOL.”
  • “Why do you feel like they’re dividing parts how long they’ve been in the industry besides LIZ since she got sick?”
  • “If it was me, I don’t think I would want to live in this room.”
  • “You are so obsessed with Ahn Yujin and Jang Wonyoung. So they shouldn’t be in a band.”
  • “The IZ ONE members of LE SSERAFIM do not discriminate when it comes to rooms LOL. I guess big companies are better after all.
  • “It just proves that IVE really is Jang Wonyoung, Ahn Yujin and the others.”

However, most netizens defended the group as the members revealed that they all agreed to share rooms between those who wanted to share rooms and those who did not. Moreover, netizens argued that it makes sense for Jang Wonyoung and Ahn Yujin to have their own rooms since they are busy with solo schedules.

  • “So do you think Ahn Yujin and Jang Wonyoung, who are busy with solo schedules, should share rooms? Do you know how much they earn for Starship Entertainment? The fact that they live in the bedroom is a commitment in itself. LOL. At least they are entitled to their own rooms.
  • “Ahn Yujin and Jang Wonyoung have a lot of solo schedules, so the members are committed to them. Besides, Ahn Yujin bought his furniture with his own money, so what’s the problem?
  • “Why do you care if they chose the room themselves?” Why are you forgetting LIZ? The fact that they can live in such a beautiful dorm is due to Ahn Yujin and Jang Wonyoung.
  • “It’s only fitting that Ahn Yujin and Jang Wonyoung have their own rooms. Then the members decided how to divide the coins among themselves, so what’s the problem?
  • “But if you’ve seen them in The Manager, their room is very cool.”
