On South Korean social media, the phrase “national girlfriend” is gradually becoming a viral content trend – where girls create the image of an ideal lover: gentle, alluring, thoughtful, and relatable in everyday moments. One of the pioneers of this trend is Wony – a girl with a sweet face, alluring figure, and a “girlfriend material” style that has captivated hundreds of thousands of followers online.
Wony currently has over 1 million followers on Instagram and about 480 thousand subscribers on YouTube – a number that demonstrates her strong appeal in the international online community. Not a K-pop idol, not an actress or professional model, but Wony has still become an “internet phenomenon” thanks to her unique content style: turning everyday actions into dreamy and emotional moments.
On her personal page, she often shares clips or images with short titles like “your girlfriend is doing yoga”, “your girlfriend is cooking”, “your girlfriend is studying”, “cleaning the house”, or “trying on clothes”. In each video, Wony appears with a gentle demeanor, intimate gaze, and sometimes a soft smile directed straight at the camera – creating the feeling that viewers are genuinely in a relationship. This naturalness, combined with delicate close-up shots, warm lighting, and soft music, has helped her perfectly shape the “POV girlfriend” (point of view – the perspective of a girlfriend) style.
Her selfies are said to be nothing less than “benefits” sent exclusively to boyfriends of couples in love.
What captivates the community even more is Wony’s appearance, which is both innocent and alluring. She has a petite face, bright skin, innocent eyes, and a feminine demeanor typical of South Korean hot girls. But unlike the modesty of many Asian girls, Wony is not afraid to flaunt her perfect curves in fitted outfits. Videos of her working out, jogging, or doing yoga often quickly reach hundreds of thousands of views just hours after being posted.
On YouTube, Wony often posts vlogs about her daily life, fitness training, and fashion style. The content is simple: just frames of her focused on cooking, cleaning, or fixing her hair in front of the mirror – but it attracts a massive viewership. The online community calls her the “goddess of everyday content”, because even though she doesn’t say much, Wony still conveys a warm and relatable emotion like an imaginary girlfriend.
Interestingly, the trend of “national girlfriend of South Korea” led by Wony is not only spreading in Korea but also across Asia, including Vietnam. Many hot girls, vloggers, and creators are beginning to adopt the “POV girlfriend” style – from close-up shooting techniques to choosing fitted outfits that accentuate their figure.
However, there are also many who argue that this type of content easily falls into the “gray area” between being sensual and being inappropriate. Some opinions suggest that Wony is “commercializing” the image of women in a way that caters to the male gaze. Nevertheless, the majority of the audience still supports her, as Wony always maintains a sophisticated style that does not cross the line, while keeping her image polished and artistic.
From an unknown girl just sharing yoga videos, Wony has now become a symbol of the “national girlfriend” trend – a phenomenon that blends lifestyle, fashion, and expressive art. Despite causing controversy, it is undeniable that she has created a distinct “image empire”: both alluring, sweet, and close enough to make anyone feel loved.
In an era where people can easily “fall in love” through their phone screens, Wony has transformed the simplest things – like a smile, a gaze, or a gym session – into an irresistible charm that keeps the community on edge. And perhaps it is this simplicity, combined with the ability to touch the audience’s emotions, that is the secret to making her the “national girlfriend” in the hearts of millions.
