• "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?"

    What are your thoughts?

  • Former S.E.S Shoo brings her twin daughters to a night market and reveals emotional story: “I once sold clothes just to get by”

    Former S.E.S member Shoo (Yoo Soo Young) warmed hearts as she shared a touching moment with her twin daughters—taking them to the same wholesale market where she once worked during a difficult time in her life.

    On May 8, Shoo posted several photos on Instagram showing her spending time with her twin daughters, Ra Hee and Ra Yul, at the Dongdaemun wholesale market. In the caption, she wrote, “Did everyone enjoy the holiday? I feel like I made a memory I’ll never forget for the rest of my life.”

    The photos showed Shoo and her daughters smiling brightly while eating and shopping together. Her daughters, now visibly grown up, were even seen wearing similar shoes and clothes as their mom.

    Shoo opened up about a painful chapter in her past. “When I was struggling, I once sold clothes I got from Dongdaemun with the help of a friend,” she shared. “I used to go there from night to early morning, picking up fleece clothes, hairpins, and shoes, thinking, ‘My kids would love this if I brought them here.’”

    Now that her daughters are older, Shoo finally fulfilled that dream. “We laughed so much while shopping. We bought hairpins, socks, and clothes together,” she said. “They’ve grown so much—they can even wear the same things as me.”

    Reflecting on the experience, she added, “Memories of my past flashed before my eyes. I told them how I used to work late at night, carrying heavy bags and walking around for 10 hours straight.”

    Shoo emotionally concluded, “I was so happy to show my kids the nighttime world I once worked in.”

    Fans who remember Shoo’s twins from The Return of Superman were touched to see how much they’ve grown. Shoo, now a proud mom of three, continues to update fans through her TV appearances and social media, showing her strength as both a mother and former idol.
