Recently, a person who identified themselves as an entertainment industry worker shared detailed observations about Jang Wonyoung’s work ethic after personally working alongside her. From the very first sentence, the writer had nothing but praise, saying, “It’s so easy to work with Wonyoung.” The writer then shared a specific example, explaining, “A shoot scheduled for three hours can be finished by Wonyoung in just 40 minutes. Before the production staff even have to say anything, she is already in position, knows where she needs to move and naturally poses on her own.”
The post also praised Wonyoung’s professionalism and attitude toward work. “She has a very clear distinction between work and her personal life, so you can simply focus entirely on the job,” the industry worker wrote. They added, “Most importantly, she communicates her intentions very clearly, which makes her incredibly easy to work with.” The writer concluded by calling Wonyoung a “master of ‘yarikkiri.’” The term “yarikkiri” is industry slang used to describe someone who completes their assigned workload quickly and accurately. The description paints a picture of a highly professional and efficient worker, in stark contrast to cases where celebrities arrive late to shoots or fail to properly handle their responsibilities. After the behind-the-scenes account circulated, fans responded enthusiastically, with comments such as, “Wonyoung is always so smart and professional,” while showing their support for the idol.
The anecdote has attracted even more attention because it comes amid previous controversy surrounding Jang Wonyoung’s attitude. In June, she faced criticism after being photographed exchanging her passport at an immigration checkpoint while standing with her arms crossed as she departed for Shanghai, China. Then in July, another clip showing Wonyoung listening to an Everland guide while standing with her arms crossed sparked another debate online. Some criticized her for appearing to have an inappropriate listening posture, while others argued that crossing her arms was simply a personal habit and that she was being unfairly scrutinized.
Meanwhile, IVE is currently carrying out its second world tour, SHOW WHAT I AM, to enthusiastic audiences. The tour’s final concert is scheduled to take place in Taipei, Taiwan, on September 13. Jang Wonyoung is also set to hold an exhibition titled AN-YOUNG alongside fellow IVE member An Yujin.
