Jang Wonyoung장원영장원영
Jang Wonyoung is a vocalist of IVE, the six-member girl group under STARSHIP Entertainment. She debuted first with IZ*ONE on 29 October 2018, was introduced as IVE's third member in November 2021 and debuted again on 1 December 2021.
Jang Wonyoung is a member of IVE, the six-member girl group under STARSHIP Entertainment. The PROFILE page of IVE’s official site gives the agency as Starship Entertainment and the debut date as 1 December 2021, and lists Jang Wonyoung with her birth date, 31 August 2004. The group’s Japanese official site, run by AMUSE Inc., lists her position as vocalist.
IVE was not her first group. Seoul Shinmun reported that IZ*ONE debuted on 29 October 2018 with a showcase for the first album COLOR*IZ at the Olympic Hall in Songpa-gu, Seoul, performing the debut title track ‘La Vie en Rose’ for the first time, and the same report names Jang Wonyoung among the twelve members.
Seoul Economic Daily reported on 5 November 2021 that “Wonyoung, formerly of the group IZ*ONE, has joined IVE, STARSHIP Entertainment’s new girl group”, adding that she was born in 2004 and would take the vocal position. The same article noted that she had been appointed the 37th host of KBS 2TV’s Music Bank. Three members — An Yu-jin, Gaeul and Jang Wonyoung — had been revealed at that point.
IVE’s official YouTube channel is the place to start. The music video for the debut single ELEVEN and the self-produced content that followed are all on it. K-Culture Radar links to official uploads rather than rehosting them, so that channel is where to watch.
Munhwa Ilbo and Ilgan Sports reported the win on 1 September. About 770,000 consumers voted between 29 June and 12 July.
