IVE’s Jang Wonyoung has once again proven her status as a global icon, showcasing her unmatched visuals and intelligence while standing alongside some of Hollywood’s biggest stars.
On the 27th of last month, Jang Wonyoung shared photos on her account from a meeting with Meryl Streep and Anne Hathaway, who visited Korea to promote the movie The Devil Wears Prada 2. Looking stunning in a sophisticated black mini dress, Jang Wonyoung posed confidently between Anne Hathaway in an elegant off-shoulder dress and Meryl Streep in a bold red suit. Her doll-like beauty and model-like proportions left everyone in awe.
This special encounter was made possible through an interview with Vogue Korea. In the interview video released on the 24th, Jang Wonyoung engaged in a deep conversation with the two actresses in fluent English, despite never having lived abroad. Anne Hathaway praised her styling, saying she looked like the movie’s protagonist, Andy Sachs, while Meryl Streep warmly described her as being “like a single flower.”
Showing her passion for the film, Jang Wonyoung surprised the actresses with her insight, stating, “I believe this movie is a story about personal growth and passion that goes beyond simple fashion.” She even showcased her wit as an interviewer by referencing the movie’s iconic line, “That’s all.” Anne Hathaway expressed her gratitude, noting that interviewing in English cannot be easy.
Known for her linguistic skills, Jang Wonyoung has been active on the global stage thanks to the English she learned since kindergarten and her self-taught Japanese. This meeting further solidifies her position as a representative 4th generation visual center, often grouped as ‘Jang-Ka-Seol-Yu’ (Jang Wonyoung, Karina, Sullyoon, and Yuna).
IVE is currently meeting fans worldwide during their second world tour, ‘SHOW WHAT I AM’. With her ability to charm even Hollywood legends, the world is eagerly watching to see what’s next for her in the global entertainment market.
