In 2016, she became an endorser of coffee brand Maxwell House.[33] In January 2017, Irene became the new brand model for Nuovo Shoes.[34] In August 2017, Irene was also chosen to be the promotional model for the MMORPG Age of Ring (반지).[35] In the same year, she became the official endorser of Hyundai Motors Auto Advantage program.[36][37]

Philanthropy

[edit]

In February 2020, Irene donated 100 million for the Community Chest of Korea to help support those affected by the COVID-19 pandemic in South Korea.[51]

Impact and influence

[edit]

In Gallup Korea's Idol Preference poll (before it was discontinued in 2020,) Irene was named as one of the topmost loved idol celebrities in South Korea.[52][53][54] In 2019, in a separate survey among soldiers doing mandatory military service in South Korea, Irene was ranked as the third most popular female K-pop idol.[55] Irene's popularity has led to several brand endorsements. She also topped the "Individual Girl Group Members Brand Power Ranking" chart published by the Korean Corporate Reputation Research Institute, placing within top 3 several times in 2018.[56][57] In 2023, she took the number 1 spot in the "Female Idol Star Ranking" for four consecutive weeks.[58]

Controversies

[edit]

On October 21, 2020, Kang Kook Hwa, a fashion editor, alleged (in a now-deleted Instagram post) that an unnamed female celebrity mistreated and lashed out at her when she worked as their stylist, using the tags #monster and #psycho.[59] The next day, Irene posted an official statement on social media, apologizing for her poor words and actions.[60] SM Entertainment also subsequently released a statement apologizing for causing concern to the public.[61] The controversy sparked conversations about the "gapjil" culture in Korean society, referring to abusive conduct by people in power. Some believed that public outrage towards Irene was related to this issue. The incident also shed light on the higher standard women in idol groups are held to compared to male artists.[62]

Following further speculations, some staffers who had worked with Irene defended her by posting on Instagram that they had never experienced the alleged mistreatment from her.[63] Ellena Yim, a former SM stylist and visual director, opined that the public should consider both sides of the story.[64] The fashion editor involved in the incident also asked the public to refrain from speculating that there was a monetary settlement, emphasizing that there was only a sincere apology.[65]
