[THEQOO] IVE Liz is often misunderstood as a foreigner or mixed race member.
Liz is often misunderstood as a foreign member in Theku and various online communities. Except for Kongsuni Ray (Japanese), all five IVE members are Korean.
Liz's real name is Jibon Kim from Jeju Island.

While Liz and the film crew were talking about the Queen of Tears, when he said 'Kim Ji-won', Liz said that her real name was also Kim Ji-won, and Liz was shocked because she thought Liz was her real name and that she was a foreigner. GERMAN LIZ IS REAL ???? pic.twitter.com/3Q7rJJ4VKU

Moreover, overseas fans often ask her if she is a foreigner or Korean. I don't know how she became a meme, but there's a joke about her saying Liz is German (German Liz)
Overseas fans jokingly call her ‘Liz German’, right? They keep saying she's German… haha Our Jiwon is a tangerine princess who runs a tangerine farm…!
Born in Nohyeong-dong, Jeju City. I think they call her that because of her unique facial features and Western appearance.
I think the reason why people are often misunderstood as foreign members is because of their unique features and Western appearance + their name is Liz haha.
