IVE member Jang Won-young (장원영) recently addressed a popular online relationship question at a fan sign event: "Which is harder to accept: 10 past loves, or one love that lasted 10 years?" To the delight of fans, Jang not only seriously analyzed the differences between the two scenarios but also couldn't resist playfully probing the fan's identity, ultimately making them laugh with a rhetorical question. This amusing interaction quickly went viral online.
After hearing the question, Jang stated that if someone had deeply loved another person for 10 years, the memories accumulated between them would undoubtedly be profound. Even if they were to engage in other activities with that person later, they might unconsciously recall past moments. Therefore, she concluded, this situation seemed more painful by comparison.
However, after answering, Jang suddenly asked, "Can I ask who it is?" She quickly added that she wasn't particularly bothered and was just asking casually, assuring the fan it was perfectly fine if they didn't want to answer. She then went on to guess the person's identity, asking if it was a senior industry figure, an idol she knew, or someone completely different, unable to hide her abundant curiosity.
The fan quickly explained that it was just a trending topic, adding, "Anyway, the present is what matters most, so it's fine, right?"
To everyone's surprise, Jang immediately retorted, "...What do you mean, 'it's fine'?" Her single question instantly filled the entire conversation with laughter. The fan later couldn't help but chuckle, noting that they had just said "the present is what matters most," only for Jang to immediately seize on that phrase and turn it into a playful challenge, leaving them both amused and speechless.
