Netizens laughed out loud at the confusion caused by recent news of an actor who shares the same name as IVE's Wonyoung.
On July 25, one netizen created a post titled, "Omg, Jang Wonyoung is moving to a different company." Here, the netizen then included a screenshot photo of a news article that read, "Jang Won Young, new partnership with ALLBIT Entertainment...a new lauching of an acting career." While the headline shocked many with what seemed to be news of IVE's Wonyoung starting a new career in acting, the shock soon turned into laughter when netizens realized that the article was talking about a different male actor whose name is also Jang Won Young.
Actor Jang Won Young has been active in the acting industry since the early 2000s and appeared in many successful dramas including 'You're Beautiful', 'Let's Eat', 'Voice', and more.
In response, netizens commented:
