Wonyoung

Wonyoung is a member of the six-piece girl group IVE under Starship Entertainment. She first became known at 14 by taking first place on Mnet's Produce 48 in 2018, which placed her in the temporary group IZ*ONE. After that group's contract ended in 2021, she returned to Starship and debuted with IVE later that year alongside Yujin. Beyond music she has built a large brand profile, including Miu Miu, Dyson and a Bulgari ambassadorship, and in 2026 she is on the road with IVE's Show What I Am world tour.

Where they grew up

None of the supplied pages say where Wonyoung grew up or how she first got into music, so no hometown is recorded. What the pages do show is that she entered the public eye very young, winning Produce 48 at 14 and then spending time in Iz*One. She describes her mother as her closest person and the one she has the most honest talks with. She says her mom often marvels at how lucky she feels to be Wonyoung's mother.
