Jang Won-young, who has the modifiers of 'Mottae Center' and 'God+Baby's Synthetic Words', stood at the crossroads of Jang Won-young, the fourth year of debut. Although it attracts attention with its excellent appearance, it is criticized for lack of competence as a singer.
Jang Won-young’s appearance in the entertainment industry was spectacular; he made his name known through the 2018 Mnet Survival audition program ProDeuce48. With a perfect beauty that doesn't look like a 15-year-old girl, he was nicknamed "the fountain stone" (an idol that comes out once a year). When the audition was over and the 12-member girl group IZWAN came to the stage, Jang Won-young appeared as a center.
Aizwon walked the flower path, making hits such as Violeta, Rabian Rose, and Panorama, and accepting the music industry. Izwon was enough to be the greenhouse of Jang Won-young, because the members' outstanding skills were expected to be an issue mall.
When Izuwon finished his activities, Jang Won-young fell into a dilemma because he needed his original singing skills to satisfy his great interest in the next group.
Jang Won-young appears to have yet to solve his homework; he redebuted last December as Starship entertainment's new female idol group IVE. With the release of the debut song 'ELEVEN' by IVE (Ahn Yu-jin, Autumn, Ray, Jang Won-young, Leeds, Iser), fans expected his skills.
It is a moment when expectations turn to disappointment; his singing skills have remained unchanged and public criticism has begun to emerge one by one. On various streaming platforms, videos of background sounds removed from the song program starring Jang Won-young came up one after another. Also, when the situation of lIVE on stage or radio came, the other members of the part of Jang Won-young were found to be unimpressed, and the doubt about Jang Won-young's ability grew.
Some fans who watched the video responded that they were "personally disappointed to remove IVE's MR" and "I think I should do my best on every stage as a newcomer."
The controversy over Jang Won-young seems to spread from singing ability to stage attitude. In December last year, I was so conscious of my appearance on the camera on a stage of a song program that I did not digest the head banging choreography properly. It was pointed out that his behavior, which was biased toward appearance and reduced the perfection of the stage, was not professional.
In this regard, the mention of Jang Won-young, which singer Lee Hong-gi made in 'ProDeuce48', is getting attention again. Lee Hong-gi pointed out, "It is really good to know how to play like Won Young, but if you do not get the vocal perfectly and do it, it seems to be just a bit of a gig."
Jang Won-young, the fourth year of the entertainment industry debut, this year. Despite the advice of senior Lee Hong-gi, he still shows off his 'kiss' with facial expressions and gestures rather than singing skills.
Of course, the potential of entertainer Jang Won-young, not singer, is high. Jang Won-young, who played MC at KBS Music Bank and 2021 Asian Artist Awards, showed stable progress. In addition, Jang Won-young has been in various entertainment programs and shows his talents without hesitation. But the place where Jang Won-young is still actIVE is the stage, and the fact that he is a singer remains unchanged: Jang Won-young, who became a professional singer in an idol trainee. It is time to prove it with the ability to fit the real national center.
