Group IVE member Jang Wonyoung has shared a glimpse of her natural, everyday life.
On the 23rd, Jang Wonyoung posted a short video on her personal social media channel, accompanied by an airplane emoji.
In the released video, Jang Wonyoung catches the eye as she stares into the camera after boarding a flight.
Opening the airplane window, she showed off her innocent visuals, leaving fans in awe of her unrealistic, doll-like beauty.
Notably, Jang Wonyoung drew intense attention by revealing her bare face without wearing a hat or a mask. On this day, photos and videos of her also went viral across social media and online communities. While other members arrived at the airport wearing hats and masks, Jang Wonyoung stood out by arriving fully styled with hair and makeup, wearing products from the brand she currently models for.
Recently, Jang Wonyoung attracted significant attention due to her behavior captured during the identity verification process while departing through the airport.
Having arrived in a mask and hat, Jang Wonyoung only lowered her mask slightly during the identity check. When the staff member requested another face verification, she lowered her mask once more. Afterward, she waited with her arms crossed and took her passport back from the employee with one hand, which sparked a minor controversy regarding her attitude.
In response to the video, some netizens reacted sharply, questioning why celebrities are sometimes allowed through identity checks while wearing hats and masks, unlike ordinary citizens. This even led to formal civil complaints being filed.
Regarding this issue, an official from the Korea Airports Corporation stated to Xports News, “If the traveler matches their passport photo under the judgment of the field agent, they can pass. It is not an absolute requirement that all face-covering items must be removed.” The official added, “Agents may request additional verification based on their judgment, and the verification methods of field staff may vary individually. There is absolutely no special treatment or privilege given to celebrities.”
Following the incident, the Korea Airports Corporation announced that they plan to strengthen guidelines and information regarding passenger identity verification procedures through various methods, including notices on their official website.
