[IVE ON] AN-YOUNG MEDIA EXHIBITION BEHIND

Why Koreans care

Wonyoung identifies the fish portrait as her favorite and supplies its creative backstory: after enjoying an earlier shoot with Leslie Zhang, she had wanted to revisit that atmosphere, and this exhibition’s proposal matched the mood she had imagined.

In the Korean comments

One Korean-language comment makes a specific request: in translation, “Even though they are in the same group, scenes of AN-YOUNG talking or spending time together are unusually rare. Apart from birthday photos and comeback dance challenges, there are few chances to see them, so please give us more opportunities.”

What the words mean

안녕즈 (annyeongjeu, the AN-YOUNG duo) resembles 안녕 (annyeong, “hello”), but here it is an affectionate unit nickname for An Yujin and Jang Wonyoung, reflected in the title’s “AN-YOUNG.” The ending 즈 (jeu, “-s”) is a casual fandom-style suffix used to group people together.
