IVE is preparing for a new comeback with 'Looks Can Kill' in October 2026, following their second full album 'REVIVE+'. Simultaneously, member Jang Wonyoung continues to solidify her status as a prominent K-pop idol and trend icon, actively participating in global fashion events like Paris Fashion Week and influencing popular culture with her unique "Wonyoung-style thinking."
Jang Wonyoung, born on August 31, 2004, is 22 years old as of 2026. She first gained recognition as the first-place winner and center of IZ*ONE after participating in Mnet's 'Produce 48' in 2018. After IZ*ONE's activities concluded, she re-debuted with Starship Entertainment's girl group IVE on December 1, 2021. IVE has since released hit songs such as 'ELEVEN', 'LOVE DIVE', 'After LIKE', and 'I AM', with their latest mini-album 'Looks Can Kill' scheduled for release on October 26, 2026, preceded by a pre-release on October 19.
Local bloggers highlight Jang Wonyoung's striking visuals, strong stage presence, and positive mindset, which has led to the popularization of "Wonyoung-style thinking." She is frequently described as a "wannabe icon" and a "living doll," admired for her ability to maintain a bright smile and natural airport fashion even when traveling for international engagements like Paris Fashion Week, showcasing her influence beyond music into fashion and beauty.
