She eventually re-debuted in December 2021 as a member of IVE, where she is now shining at her brightest. Her fans are absolutely in love with her beautiful voice and skillful dance moves and always let her know they are here for the long run through their passion and firm support.

She is talented, kind, and vibrant. This must probably be it. Wrong! How could we talk about Jang Wonyoung without mentioning her gorgeous looks? She sure has the brains, but not only. 

Our rising star is also known for her natural beauty and incredible sense of fashion. With her natural charms and confidence, no wonder why she’s been one of the hottest demands in the advertising industry!
