[All] Jang Won-young's late arrival controversy?! Reporter, scene, photo wall, Ive, false accusation, full story

Here's a summary of the controversy surrounding Ive Jang Won-young's tardiness.

We will examine the facts, including the on-site situation at the Seongsu-dong Photo Wall, video of reporters' comments, and the organizers' official statement.

 

 

1. Why did the controversy surrounding Jang Won-young's tardiness suddenly surface?

 

Recently, the controversy over IVE member Jang Won-young's lateness to an event has spread rapidly online and on social media.

A scene where Jang Won-young appeared late at a fashion brand photo event held in Seongsu-dong

The controversy began when a short video went viral.

 

In particular, the frame of “I was late” was quickly put on as a word from the on-site reporters was included.

In some communities, critical opinions have spread without fact-checking.

 

 

2. The photo wall scene that sparked the controversy

 

The controversial event took place on the morning of January 29, 2026, in Seongsu-dong, Seongdong-gu, Seoul.

This was a photo event to launch the 2026 SS collection of high-end cashmere brand Barry.

Jang Won-young attended as an ambassador for the brand.

 

The video in question shows the moment when Jang Won-young appears in the photo zone,

There was a comment among the reporters saying, “Mr. Won-young, let’s go early.”

 

As this scene was edited briefly and spread,

The provocative interpretation of a 'perception controversy' spread first, regardless of the actual situation.

 

 

3. Official position of the organizer: There was no tardiness.

 

 

 

As the controversy grew, the event organizers issued an official statement to correct the facts.

The gist of the organizers' explanation is as follows:

 

The official arrival time given to Jang Won-young was 11:30 a.m., but she actually arrived near the venue around 11:25 a.m.

I arrived and was waiting. However, due to parking issues around the venue and delays in organizing the route on site,

The call sign was delayed, and as a result, Jang Won-young's appearance at the photo zone was pushed back to 11:35.

 

In other words, the cause was not Jang Won-young's personal perception, but confusion that arose during the event operation.

It has been officially confirmed.

 

 

4. The reporter's statement and the "40-minute lateness theory" are inconsistent with the facts.

 

During the controversy, the expression “40 minutes late” appeared in some communities and video titles.

This is not true. The actual time difference was about 5 minutes, and Jang Won-young had already arrived at the scene.

I was in a waiting state.

 

As the comments of the on-site reporters were spread without context, misunderstandings were amplified.

A short video clip is considered a prime example of a heated debate that has been fueled by consumption ahead of fact-checking.

 

 

5. Public opinion and the implications of this controversy

 

After the organizers' explanation was released, the online atmosphere changed relatively quickly.

Initial critical comments followed, with responses such as, “It was rather an unfair situation,” and “The problem was poor management.”

The movement to delete it also continued.

 

This controversy over Jang Won-young's tardiness is not a matter of personal attitude, but rather a flaw in the event management and information delivery structure.

It is being resolved as a misunderstanding created. At the same time, short videos and provocative phrases are being used against celebrities.

This remains another example of how quickly a negative image can be created.
