• "Not as close as before?" — Netizens wonder if IVE's Wonyoung & Yujin aren't as good friends now

    Speculation is buzzing among netizens regarding the closeness of IVE members Jang Wonyoung and Ahn Yujin.

    A recent post on an online community forum titled, "Annyeongz seem like they're not that close," has captured the attention of fans.

    "Annyeongz" is the affectionate nickname given by fans to the friendship between Ahn Yujin and Jang Wonyoung, who both rose to fame through the idol survival show 'Produce48' and were former members of the girl group IZ*ONE.

    The post's author expressed their thoughts, stating, "IVE's Annyeongz don't appear as close with each other lately. As a devoted DIVE (IVE's official fandom), I've heard a lot about how close and special their bond is".

    The author added, "However, it seems like Rei and Ahn Yujin are closer, while Jang Wonyoung seems somewhat distant. They appeared closer during their IZ*ONE days, and as a fan, it saddens me to see this change."

    In response, netizens shared their views:

    "I'm not a fan, but it looks like this post is trying to suggest that two people who are obviously close are not."

    "Close or not, in the workplace, not everyone needs to be best friends. Sometimes, you only talk about work. They spend a lot of time together, so it's natural that they might not click in every aspect."

    "It seems like Jang Wonyoung might be setting boundaries."

    "I'm not entirely sure. Maybe they don't talk as much because they're already so close. Considering Jang Wonyoung and Ahn Yujin's personalities, it's a possibility."

    "The dynamics change in the real world compared to school."

    "Why does it even matter? Is it such a big deal if they're not as close as before?"

  • Lee Jong Suk’s Reaction to Dex Leaving for Mount Everest is Making Fans Laugh — His Honest Words are so Relatable

    Dex, the youngest member of Around the World Since Birth 4, was spotted at Incheon International Airport on April 3, departing for Nepal.

    The team is starting their adventure with an expedition to Mount Everest, followed by the tough Tea Horse Road trek.

    Dex, who first appeared in Season 2, quickly became a fan favorite thanks to his UDT background, strong endurance, and unexpected humor.

    Fans are excited to see if he will once again show off his toughness mixed with his signature clumsy charm.

    At the airport, Dex wore high-altitude trekking gear and shared, "I heard this will be the toughest journey yet. But I'm excited to go on another trip with the hyungs. I'll return safely."

    However, what caught fans’ attention the most was actor Lee Jong Suk’s reaction to Dex’s trip. The two became close after working together, and when Lee Jong Suk heard about Dex leaving for Everest, he reportedly said, "Why are you going there? Just stay home."

    His straightforward and relatable reaction made fans laugh, with many saying they would have reacted the same way.

    With Kian 84, Pani Bottle, Dex, and Lee Si Eon back together, Around the World Since Birth 4 is set to premiere in May on MBC.
