Netizens speculate that IVE members Wonyoung and Yujin seem to not be as close with each other anymore.

A recent online community forum post titled, "Annyeongz seem like they're not that close", garnered a lot of attention. "Annyeongz" is the nickname that fans refer the friendship pairing of Yujin and Wonyoung as, since both members are former members of the girl group IZ*ONE after competing on Mnet's idol survival program 'Produce 48'. The author of this viral post further wrote, "IVE's Annyeongz don't seem as close with each other. I'm a DIVE (IVE's official fandom name) and people keep saying just how close and special their relationship seems. But it looks more like Rei and Ahn Yujin are close, but not really with Wonyoung...They seem like they were closer back in their IZ*ONE days. I'm not hating on them, but it just makes me sad as a fan that they don't seem as close as they used to seem in their earlier days."

In response, netizens commented:

"I'm not a fan, but just looking at this post it seems to force the idea that two people, who are obviously very close with each other, are not close."

"They don't have to be close...even in companies, if you're not compatible with a coworker you only talk about work and nothing else. They're together 24/7 so it's possible that they are not compatible in some areas."

"It seems like Jang Wonyoung draws boundaries."

"Not sure...isn't that the reason why they don't talk a lot with each other is because they're so close? Looking at Wonyoung and Yujin's personalities, this is definitely possible."

"Society is different from schools."

"But is that so important? Why is it a problem if they're a bit less close with each other?"
