Jang Wonyoung Posts on IG Despite Attitude Scandal

IVE member Jang Won-young is carrying on with her daily life despite another round of online debate over her behavior in public. She shared a set of casual photos on Instagram this week, suggesting she is not letting the latest criticism weigh her down.

On July 14, Jang posted several images on her Instagram with the caption, "It's something I like, and this one shares my last name 🙈." The photos showed the idol capturing herself in everyday moments. Of the 14 pictures, 10 focused on her own appearance.

Jang is currently facing her second attitude controversy in as many months. On July 1, she visited Everland, the popular theme park south of Seoul. During the visit, footage showed her listening to a staff member with her arms crossed, while other IVE members stood in more relaxed postures.

The clip drew mixed reactions online. Some viewers called the pose rude, with comments such as "Crossing your arms while someone is speaking to you," "Folding your arms during a conversation is disrespectful," "Is crossing her arms a habit?" and "This isn't unfair criticism, it's about manners."

It was the second such incident in about a month. On May 30, Jang was seen crossing her arms in front of an immigration officer who was trying to verify her face during departure procedures for Shanghai, China. She was also seen taking her passport back in a quick, snatching motion. The footage set off a heated back-and-forth among online users.

After that incident drew attention, Korea Airports Corporation updated the identity verification notice on its website. The new wording asks travelers to "briefly remove masks, hats, and sunglasses for identity confirmation."
