Jang Wonyoung of IVE is once again the talk of the town.

The girl group from STARSHIP Entertainment just won "Song of the Year" at the 2022 Asia Artist Awards. As they do before every award show, they posed for pictures on the red carpet.

Here, Filipino K-Pop fans noticed that Jang Wonyoung's dress looked like it had been worn before. One person on Twitter said, "The shape of Jang Wonyoung's outfit makes me think of Filipiniana."

The color, shape, fabric, and sleeves looked a lot like a Filipiniana, which is the traditional dress of the Philippines.

It is usually made of fabric made from pineapples and has puffy sleeves on the baro, which is a plain blouse worn with a saya (long skirt).

Modern versions of the outfit have the same shape but are made of different fabrics and come in different colors.

Jang Wonyoung's dress for the red carpet was the same in this way. Some Pinoy K-Pop fans joked that she looked so elegant and professional that she could be the "next president" of the country.

She could have also become the next First Lady. IVE and the rest of her group killed it on the red carpet.

This isn't the first time Pinoy fans have been interested in Jang Wonyoung. With its off-shoulder sleeves and thick material, her blue "After Like" top also made people think of a Filipiniana.

So, what do you think?

BTS member Jimin made history at the 2024 MAMA AWARDS, becoming the first solo artist ever to win the prestigious Visa Fan’s Choice of the Year award.

On November 22, Jimin was honored with the Fan’s Choice of the Year award at the 2024 MAMA AWARDS JAPAN, held at the Kyocera Dome in Osaka, Japan. This marks a huge milestone in his career, especially considering his ongoing military service.

Jimin made history as the first solo artist to win the Fan’s Choice of the Year award, a category that BTS had dominated for six years since its debut in 2018.

In addition to this achievement, Jimin also took home the Fan’s Choice Grand Prize, making him a two-time winner at this year’s awards.

Although Jimin couldn't attend the ceremony due to his military service, his name was met with loud cheers from fans when announced.

His incredible win continues to prove his global influence as a solo artist. Jimin had also won Best Male Artist at the 2023 MAMA AWARDS, marking back-to-back wins at the event.

The MAMA AWARDS praised Jimin for his groundbreaking achievements, saying, “As the first K-pop solo artist to reach 4 billion streams and set the longest-running #1 record for a Korean artist, Jimin has proven his influence as a world-class artist and global pop star.”

Jimin's win also made him the first solo artist to claim a grand prize at the MAMA AWARDS in 10 years, with his achievement sparking excitement worldwide.

On X (formerly Twitter), the hashtag “CONGRATULATIONS JIMIN” topped the trends, while “우리지민이상받았네” (Our Jimin Got the Award) reached the #1 spot in Korea.

Jimin’s ongoing success continues to shine even during his military service. He was also recently named Best K-pop at the 2024 MTV Europe Music Awards and continues to be recognized for his charitable efforts, including a recent donation of 100 million KRW to the National Defense Soldier and Veteran Love Fund.
