Jang Won Young departed for Japan with her fellow IVE members through Gimpo International Airport on June 23 to carry out the group's world tour schedule.

After passing through the airport gate, Jang Won Young was seen removing her hat and greeting fans with a bright smile. She walked through the departure terminal without wearing a mask, showing a natural and relaxed appearance.

Her conduct during the identity verification process also drew attention. According to reports, she calmly completed the procedure, using both hands when handing over and receiving her passport.

The moment stood in contrast to a previous airport departure in May, when Jang Won Young was leaving for Shanghai, China. At the time, photos circulated online showing her briefly lifting her hat and mask for identity verification before quickly covering her face again.

On June 23, however, Jang Won Young was the only IVE member to appear without covering her face during the departure process. Despite the constant attention from fans and cameras, she maintained a cheerful smile throughout.

Meanwhile, Jang Won Young also shared a glimpse of herself inside the airplane later that day.
