[What IS] "Rudeness" vs "ecksha"… Jang Won-young sparks unexpected debate over her departure behavior at the airport

Unexpectedly, a heated debate has broken out over the way girl group IVE member Jang Wonyoung appeared during the departure process.

Jang Wonyoung departed for Shanghai, China, via Gimpo International Airport on the 30th of last month. Recently, a video showing what happened at the time has spread on SNS, becoming a point of controversy.

In the video, Jang Wonyoung, wearing a mask, underwent passport inspection by an airport staff member and made a gesture of slightly lifting her mask and hat to verify her identity. While the staff member was examining her passport, she had her arms crossed, and after getting her passport back, Jang Wonyoung quickly left the departure hall.

Netizens are expressing a variety of reactions to this scene. Some netizens said they were disappointed with Jang Wonyoung's attitude, saying things like, "She looks rude," "She seems to be in a bad mood," and "She can be compared to other members." On the other hand, some responded that it was just a normal airport departure scene and that the criticism was excessive.

Meanwhile, IVE, the group Jang Wonyoung belongs to, is currently carrying out its second world tour, 'SHOW WHAT I AM.'
