Jang Wonyoung of IVE recently shared some intriguing insights about her ideal boyfriend and her thoughts on marriage during a lighthearted and engaging interview. Known for her elegance and charisma, the K-pop star opened up in a way that revealed her personal side, sparking plenty of interest among her fans. Delving deeper into her ideal type, Wonyoung highlighted the importance of physical fitness and self-care. “I like people who work out and take care of themselves,” she shared, explaining that such habits reflect discipline and a sense of responsibility.

This resonates deeply with her own work ethic and commitment to her career. For her, a partner with a similar mindset would make the connection even more meaningful.

On January 16, 2024, Jang Wonyoung appeared on Dex’s Fridge Interview, a popular YouTube talk show hosted by DEX. In a fun segment, DEX posed an interesting question: would she prefer a boyfriend with “puppy-like” or “wolf-like” features? With a smile, Wonyoung confidently chose “wolf-like” but with a twist—she clarified that she was drawn to a “slightly softer-looking wolf,” showing her preference for someone with both strength and approachability.

The conversation then shifted to a more personal topic—marriage. When DEX asked her about it, Wonyoung glanced at her manager, eliciting laughter from everyone in the room. Playfully, she said that if there were a destined person, marriage might happen someday. However, she admitted she wasn’t entirely certain about the concept of destiny for now, leaving the question of her future plans open-ended.
