IVE member Jang Wonyoung stepped back into the spotlight, making her first public appearance after the recent "airport attitude" controversy.
On the 11th, Jang Wonyoung posted a video from the event venue on her Instagram Story, writing, "Thank you for the pretty photos and kind words from such an early hour."
The released clip shows Jang Wonyoung attending a department store event. She greeted the press with a bright smile, naturally struck multiple poses, and helped energize the scene. Although it was her first public schedule since the controversy, she drew attention with her usual smile and composed demeanor.
Previously, a short video filmed at the airport sparked debate over her attitude. On May 30, while departing to attend a schedule in China, footage spread online showing her appearing to cross her arms in front of an airport staff member during immigration and take her passport with one hand, triggering heated discussion.
Some netizens criticized the behavior as dismissive, while others, after seeing footage from different angles, argued it was hard to judge the full situation from a brief clip.
Meanwhile, IVE will meet local fans with their world tour concert in Sydney, Australia, on the 13th (local time).
