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?"

What are your thoughts?

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.
