We all know that Wonyoung (장원영) from the rising 4th generation K-pop group IVE (아이브) is known for her unique aura, which has become a standard in the community. Her persona has even sparked a trend on social media known as “Wonyoungism” or “The Wonyoung Effect,” encouraging fans to embrace femininity and strive to be the best version of themselves. 

It is no surprise that Wonyoung is highly respected not only by her fans but also by her peers in the same industry. Recently, fans noticed her unexpected appearance in one of the episodes of HYBE’s new girl group KATSEYE’s (캣츠아이) Netflix docu-series called “Pop Star Academy” and they couldn’t be more proud of her.

In one of the episodes, the visual directors are seen carefully planning and discussing how to create a unique image for each member of KATSEYE, ensuring that every individual’s personality shines without overlapping with one another. To help define the group’s persona, they spread out multiple pictures of inspirations on the table, reflecting the detailed process behind finding the group’s distinct identity.

In a delightful twist, fans were quick to spot a familiar face among the inspiration images for the HYBE’s new girl group. A Twitter user pointed out that one of the selected images was none other than Wonyoung herself. It seemed that the photo was chosen as a reference for member Sophia.

Naturally, the Lucky Vicky fans were buzzing over this, flexing their favourite idol’s growing impact within the industry and claiming she is the current ‘It Girl’ of her generation. While others praised her for her success of being the true meaning of an idol.
