IVE’sWonyoungis officially on a roll.
Along with the jawdropping photoshootwhich was recently revealed, Wonyoung also participated in a candid interview with Vogue.
Vogue:How was the photoshoot?
I’m actually a model for Tommy Jeans.
Vogue:By ‘good stories,’ do you mean they told you ‘you’re pretty’?
Wonyoung:They told me that the brand has grown a lot thanks to me.
I was grateful to hear that.
I always hope that the brands I model for will receive a lot of love.
Vogue:You take both of your careers, as a musician and a model, very seriously.
Wonyoung:That’s right.
It’s not like I’m only focusing on one thing while casually juggling the other.
I take both seriously.
If I only focus on one thing, I get bored easily.
That’s why I always want to try something new.
Vogue:The title songs of the new album ‘IVE EMPATHY’ are ‘ATTITUDE’ and ‘REBEL HEART.’
There must have been a process of deciding which song to promote first, right?
Wonyoung:We listened to the songs together and discussed them.
Vogue:What do you think about the opinion that ‘ATTITUDE’ suits IVE’s style more?
Wonyoung:Personally, I liked ‘ATTITUDE’ more.
I even participated in writing the lyrics.
Vogue:The album title is ‘IVE EMPATHY.’
Is there a moment that you want others to relate to?
Wonyoung:Moments like that happen all the time.
For example, when I find something really funny, but the other person doesn’t laugh…
I think, ‘Why aren’t they laughing’?
But I especially want to feel understood by my mom.
She’s my closest person, and I have the most genuine conversations with her.
Vogue:Does your mom still find it amazing that her daughter is now a ‘global superstar’?
Sometimes she’ll suddenly ask, ‘How did I get this lucky?’
Vogue:I think everyone who likes Jang Wonyoung can agree with that.
Wonyoung:Last year’s Lollapalooza performance.
If fate really did play a trick on you, what would you do?
You just have to live through it.
And if something needs to change along the way, then of course, you have to change it.
What part of you do you think is lacking, and what part of you is too much?
Wonyoung:If I had to pick something lacking, it’s that I get bored really quickly.
But I don’t think of it as a flaw.
It actually makes me work faster.
As for something I have in excess?
The love I receive from fans, the love I give, and my playful side.
Vogue:What have been the best and worst parts of living in the ‘Jang Wonyoung era’?
Wonyoung:Since I was young, I’ve always believed that ‘Jang Wonyoung is Jang Wonyoung.’
I’m really happy that things have turned out as I imagined.
I have no regrets.
Vogue:It must be hard to control your diet because of body management.
Many people are curious about you.
I just do what I love, and people happen to watch.
So I don’t feel that it’s a burden.
Vogue:Have you ever failed?
Wonyoung:No, I’m still young.
Wonyoung:Not really.
Our DIVEs will love me just the way I am.
I have that faith in them.
I’m really happy when I get a vacation every now and then.
Vogue:What keeps you going without getting tired?
Trying new things is a powerful motivator for me.
Vogue:What does ‘Lucky Vicky’ Jang Wonyoung find exciting right now?
Wonyoung:After this interview, I’m going to go eat some meat.
