IVE's Ahn Yu-jin & Jang Won-young Open Special Exhibition "AN-YOUNG IN SEOUL" — Connecting with Fans
Ahn Yu-jin and Jang Won-young of the group IVE are reaching out to fans through a special exhibition. Through their exhibition "AN-YOUNG IN SEOUL," they plan to connect with visitors more closely than ever. The "Annyeongz" Exhibition — From Unreleased Photos to Media Art On the 25th, a teaser poster previewing Ahn Yu-jin and Jang Won-young's exhibition "AN-YOUNG IN SEOUL" was unveiled through the official "IVE Exhibition" social media. In an earlier teaser video, a hand picks up a retro telephone receiver as the two greet with "annyeong" ("hello") in their own voices, and at the end appears an "annyeong" logo evoking "Annyeongz," the nickname fans use for Ahn Yu-jin and Jang Won-young together. (In Korean, "AN-YOUNG" plays on "annyeong," a word that means both a greeting and asking after someone's well-being.) The exhibition was designed to hold the meaning of shining fleeting moments and the well-wishes the two extend to each other. It unfolds the many meanings of "annyeong"—a greeting upon meeting and an inquiry after another's well-being—across the space. Along with the pair's unreleased photos, it will be arranged as a varied space offering fans fresh memories, featuring interactive media art and audience-participation programs. Just like the title "annyeong," Ahn Yu-jin and Jang Won-young are expected to communicate more closely and share an emotional connection with the visitors who come to the exhibition. Details regarding "AN-YOUNG IN SEOUL" are set to be announced later through the official "IVE Exhibition" social media. Winning "The Hottest International Group" at "TIMA 2026" Meanwhile, IVE received the "The Hottest International Group" award at Tencent Music's "TME live International Music Awards 2026" ("TIMA 2026"), held on the 23rd (local time) at Kai Tak Stadium in Hong Kong. Through their agency STARSHIP Entertainment, IVE said, "It's our first time attending the 'TIMA' ceremony during a world tour, and receiving the 'The Hottest International Group' award on top of that makes us even happier and more grateful," adding, "Thanks to the support of DIVE (the official fan club name) and audiences who always welcome us warmly, we feel we can become one through music anywhere. This award, too, is thanks to the love sent by DIVE around the world." Second World Tour — Solo Concerts in Hong Kong in September IVE is currently on their second world tour, "SHOW WHAT I AM." Opening with Seoul shows in October 2025, the tour has expanded across Asia and beyond, continuing on a global scale. As part of the tour, IVE will hold solo concerts in Hong Kong from September 4 to 6, meeting local fans. Global fans' attention is gathering on this special moment from Ahn Yu-jin and Jang Won-young, who are now connecting with fans in a new way—through an exhibition—beyond music and the stage.
