IVE's Jang Won-young Praised for Exceptional Professionalism and Efficiency by Staff and Netizens

How impressive is Jang Won-young's (장원영) work efficiency? Recently, her makeup artist shared an update on Instagram Stories, exclaiming, "Won-young-ssi, we finished two hours early today! You're the best!"

Beyond her makeup artist's praise, a netizen on X (formerly Twitter) also shared their experience, stating that "anyone who has worked in this industry would know" how easy it is to work with Won-young. They revealed that a photoshoot scheduled for three hours could be completed in approximately 40 minutes, highlighting her astonishing work efficiency.

The netizen explained that Jang Won-young doesn't wait for staff to give individual instructions. Instead, she proactively checks the shooting flow and adjusts her poses and movements. She also maintains a clear distinction between her public and private life, focusing solely on the task at hand during work, which makes collaborations very smooth.

The individual also specifically mentioned that Jang Won-young communicates her thoughts very clearly, whether it's about work requirements or her own opinions. This clarity means that little time is spent on communication when working with her.

The netizen ultimately dubbed her the "early wrap-up master."

Because veteran comedian Lee Kyung-kyu (이경규) is also known for finishing shoots quickly, on time, and still having enough footage for editing, Won-young has earned the nickname "Little Lee Kyung-kyu."
