IVE member’s high-profile real estate move coincides with a successful comeback

IVE’s Jang Won-young has reportedly purchased a 244-square-meter villa at Lucid House in Hannam-dong, Yongsan District, Seoul, for 13.7 billion won in cash, according to March reports. The deal underscores the star’s high-profile status in the Korean entertainment scene.

In August, she and her group released their fourth mini-album, IVE SECRET, with the lead track XOXZ, which helped the group top music programs on KBS2 Music Bank, MBC Show! Music Core, and SBS Inkigayo. The achievement highlights the group’s continued commercial and chart success this year.

She recently posted a caption reading “One Won-young isn’t here,” and accompanying photos show Won-young looking for her name in a chocolate snack tied to the “Find My Name” event. The posts and imagery align with the ongoing public interest in her activities as a member of IVE.
