IVE member Jang Won Young's airport fashion has been making headlines.

On September 23, an online community post titled "The Confidence of a Winner: Jang Wonyoung's Mental Strength" started gaining attention. The post's author wrote, "Jang Won Young wore the same outfit that the cyberwrecker YouTuber 'Sojang' wore to a police investigation."

In the post, Jang Won Young appeared at the airport wearing a pink top, a white skirt, and sunglasses—the same outfit worn by the YouTuber during the investigation.

'Sojang' is a YouTube channel notorious for spreading false information and defamatory content about Jang Won Young and other celebrities.

This YouTuber, known as a “cyber wrecker,” gained infamy by producing malicious content filled with lies. She falsely claimed that "Jang Won Young was jealous and sabotaged a fellow trainee’s debut" and that "other celebrities were involved in prostitution or had undergone plastic surgery," among other slanders.

In response, IVE’s agency, Starship Entertainment, filed a defamation lawsuit against Sojang, citing continuous false accusations that damaged Jang Won Young’s reputation.

During the investigation, prosecutors examined the channel's financial records and found that Sojang had earned approximately 250 million KRW (around 190,000 USD) over a two-year period starting in June 2021.

It was revealed that Sojang also used part of the earnings to purchase real estate. In January, the court ruled in favor of Jang Wonyoung, ordering Sojang to pay 100 million KRW (about 75,000 USD) in damages. The case is currently in its second appeal.
