Jang Wonyoung of IVE is a leading figure in K-Pop, known for her captivating visuals and stage presence. Her unique positive outlook, dubbed "Wonyoung's mindset," has become a cultural trend, solidifying her status beyond an idol to a significant trend icon in South Korea.
Wonyoung first gained prominence as the first-place winner and center of IZ*ONE after Mnet's 'Produce 48' in 2018. Following IZ*ONE's activities, she re-debuted with IVE in December 2021, achieving rapid success with hit songs like 'ELEVEN', 'LOVE DIVE', and 'I AM'. In 2026, IVE released their second full album, 'REVIVE+', featuring tracks such as 'BANG BANG' and 'BLACKHOLE'.
Local bloggers highlight Wonyoung's significant growth from a 14-year-old debutante to a highly sought-after star in advertising. The "An-Young: Ahn Yu-jin x Jang Wonyoung Media Art Exhibition" in Seoul underscores her and Ahn Yujin's individual brand power, though some note this also presents a challenge for the agency to broaden public attention to other IVE members.
