Former Berry Good member Johyun, now known as actress Shin Ji-won, has found herself at the center of an online debate after her recent film appearance.
A video from the VIP screening ofKarlovy Varyshowed her in a fitted burgundy dress, but viewers quickly focused on an unusual-looking detail around her lower abdomen.
Some people questioned the styling, while others felt strangers were picking apart a woman’s body.
- Shin Ji-won, formerly known as Johyun of Berry Good, sparked online debate after viewers focused on an unusual detail in her burgundy dress.
- While some questioned the styling, others defended the actress.
- The fashion discussion comes after Shin Ji-won faced backlash over her political comments earlier in 2026.
One commenter asked, “Maybe she’s wearing a pad?” Another wrote, “Can women ever just exist without people saying sh*t?”
Johyun drew widespread attention after her dress became the main talking point due to an unusual detail
Shin Ji-won attended the VIP screening and stage greeting for Karlovy Vary in Seoul, where she appeared alongside fellow cast members.
Karlovy Vary is a comedy directed by Lee Youg-seok. Shin Ji-won plays cinematographer Kang Ha-na, with Oh Ji-ho and Lee Je-yeon as co-stars.
For the premiere, she wore a burgundy ribbed knit maxi dress with a fitted silhouette, a cross-shaped V-neck, and a long skirt.
The material hugged her figure, and the event’s strong lighting made some of the dress’s contours stand out.
One particular shape around her lower abdomen quickly caught viewers’ attention.
Shin Ji-won was also seen keeping both hands together in front of her body during parts of the stage greeting. Some viewers thought she appeared aware of how the dress looked.
“She should have seen it before leaving if it was a pad,” one said, while another wrote, “Did she not check the mirror before going out?”
Others, however, defended her, writing, “Having a FUPA is a crime? Get a life.”
In 2016, Shin Ji-won debuted as Johyun, a member of the K-pop girl group Berry Good. After the group disbanded in 2021, she continued working in entertainment before changing her stage name to her real name.
After her dress went viral online, Shin Ji-won appeared completely unbothered
Shin Ji-won appeared to carry on with her normal life. On September 6, she shared photos with her dog and captioned one moment “LOL.” The casual post came while the outfit discussion was still circulating online.
That did not stop the trolling, though.
Some people continued to criticize the styling. “What’s that bulging out?”
Another asked, “Is the stylist her anti-fan? They should have paid more attention.”
Someone else wrote, “The styling was too much.”
But not everyone thought the outfit deserved such intense scrutiny. One netizen said, “It’s just natural creasing.”
Others suggested the unusual shape could have been caused by the event setup rather than anything about Shin Ji-won herself.
“It seems like a lighting issue,” one person wrote, while another suggested, “It looks like audio equipment.”
Apparently, this isn’t the first time Shin Ji-won has dealt with fashion-related backlash

In 2019, when Shin Ji-won was still known as Johyun, she appeared at a red-carpet event for the e-sports program Game Dolympic 2019: Golden Card.
She dressed as Ahri, the nine-tailed fox character from the popular video game League of Legends. Her costume included a garter belt and a large purple tail.
Some viewers called the outfit “too revealing” and criticized it as vulgar.
Johyun later addressed the reaction herself.
