On August 2, Girl Group Ive offered an extraordinary performance at the Kcon the 2025 held at the Los Angeles Convention Center. The event, one of the largest Korean music and culture festivals organized by CJ Enm, attracted tens of thousands of participants and millions of online spectators, transforming the place into a global K-pop celebration.
During the energetic performance of the group of “Ribelle heart”A small accident on stage occurred when the member Liz has accidentally dropped his microphone as he danced in high intensity. Although the accident lasted a few seconds, Jang Wonyoung’s surprise reaction, who visibly sought and frozen for a beat – captured the attention of the fans. The clip has quickly spread on social media, accumulating thousands of likes and reproducing playful memes and comments from international fans.
Despite the surprise, Ive I want impeccable professionalism. Thanks to Wonyoung and Yujin, Liz has returned without problems, flashing a bright smile and perfectly synchronizing with his teammates. Gaeul, who was closer to Liz during the accident, remained composed and continued to perform with grace and trust.
Fans and Netizen praised the unity and the presence on stage not shared by the group. Reactions paid in: “Wonyung has reacted so quickly: now it is clearly a veteran of the stage”, “Gaeul did not even jump, he continued to serve visions. So professional”, “I love the way they did not panic or did not look at each other. They continued and supported each other at the moment” AND “That moment when Wonyoung collected the microphone and handed it to Yujin, the job at its best.”
Kcon the 2025which takes place from 1 to 3 August, presents over 85 of the artists Gen 3 and Gen 4 most influential in K-Pop, including Hoshi & Woozi of seventeen years, NCT 127, Aespa, Monsta X, Hwasa, Lee Youngji, Mevv, Jackson Wang, RhizeAnd more. Ive I got on stage on the first day, welcomed with explosive applause from their global fan base.
Among the extraordinary images of the event, Jang Wonyung has become again at the center of attention. From debut with IZ*one in 2018 and subsequently re-debuting with IveThe 173 cm high idol continued to hypnotize the public with its modeling appearance and its dominant presence. His behavior in the balance, both inside and outside the stage, consolidates his face status of the next generation of K-Pop and a role model for young fans.
Whether it’s its rapid reflections, its magnetic visual elements or simply to be in the right place at the right time, Jang Wonyoung continues to demonstrate why it is the “IT Girl” of K-Pop and even a disclusion of the Drop microphone becomes a moment to remember.
