Jang Won-young quietly posts a message four days after the "airport behavior controversy"... "I'm crying again"
Jang Won-young, a member of the group IVE, has shared an update on her life for the first time in a while following the controversy over her behavior at the airport.
On the 7th, Jang Won-young posted several photos on her social media account without any accompanying caption. In the photos, she is seen walking down a rainy street wearing a leather jacket paired with a skirt and holding a transparent umbrella. Her signature sophisticated aura and stylish visuals captured the attention of many.
This post garnered particular attention as it was her first update since the recent airport controversy that erupted online. Jang Won-young shared a glimpse of her daily life as usual without commenting on the issue.
At the time, she found herself at the center of controversy as footage spread showing her with her arms crossed during immigration screening and a scene where she appeared to snatch her passport with one hand from an airport staff member. While some netizens criticized her attitude as insincere, others argued that it was difficult to judge the situation based solely on a short video clip, leading to mixed reactions.
In the released photos, Jang Won-young is seen enjoying a meal in casual attire with her hair neatly tied back. She spent a leisurely day sampling various dishes, including Peking duck.
While Jang Won-young has not directly addressed the controversy, some netizens have focused on the phrase “crying” in the post. Some fans commented, “Has she been going through a tough time recently due to various issues?” and “It might be a meaningless expression, but it’s still concerning,” “I hope she’s managed to get through any difficult times,” and “I hope she’s managed to get through any difficult times.”
Jang Won-young’s group, IVE, released their second full-length album, ‘REVIVE+,’ last February and is currently meeting with fans both domestically and internationally through their world tour, ‘SHOW WHAT I AM.’
