Jang Wonyoung and An Yujin transformed the opening ceremony stage into a runway.
On the 30th, at the Suwon World Cup Stadium, during the '2025 Coupang Play Series' match between Team K League and Newcastle United FC, IVE took the halftime stage and immediately captured attention. In particular, Jang Wonyoung and An Yujin dominated the atmosphere of the entire soccer field with their uniform style, showcasing overwhelming presence.
From their first appearance, Jang Wonyoung completed a chic look with a pastel blue one-shoulder top and cut-off denim pants. The silhouette naturally revealed from her shoulder and the rolled-up details harmonized, clearly showcasing her unique mood even in the middle of the stadium. In contrast, An Yujin matched a similarly toned shoulder-cut uniform with shorts, emphasizing a refreshing vibe and demonstrating a sense of leadership within the team.
The stage truly exploded as the performance began. In the photos, the two maintained relaxed expressions and gazes even during powerful choreography that required them to lean their bodies completely. Their gestures and poses on the grass were impeccable, and their ability to lead the timing and dynamics of the group dance once again highlighted IVE's status as the central axis.
In another shot, the two continued their performance while holding their respective microphones. An Yujin showcased her unique eye acting while dancing in rhythm, and Jang Wonyoung completed an overwhelming close-up by looking up at the camera. The details, including hairstyle, makeup, and accessories, were all meticulously arranged, making the title of 'opening ceremony' seem almost trivial.
In the photos, the IVE members appeared in matching sky-blue uniforms. Each member wore tops with their initials and styled bottoms that emphasized their silhouettes, breaking down the boundaries between the stage and the sports event.
Meanwhile, IVE continues to be active ahead of their Asia tour in the second half of the year and appearances on variety shows.
