A simple but gentlemanly gesture from Lee Jun Young to 2025 Global Music Bank Festival in JAPAN sent fans into a frenzy, especially when it involved none other than IVE’s Jang Wonyoung.
As the two stars co-hosted the outdoor music festival on December 13 and 14, a light drizzle began to fall. Without hesitation, Lee Jun Young raised his cue above Jang Wonyoung’s head to protect her from the rain. The delicate and completely non-contact scene felt like something out of a romantic K-drama, so much so that fans flooded Korean forums with reactions like “I want to marry Lee Jun Young” AND “He’s breaking the rules!”
In the video captured by fans, Wonyoung is seen smiling sweetly—some netizens even joked, “Even Wonyoung seemed impressed.”
This isn’t the first time Lee Jun Young’s subtle acts of chivalry have gone viral. At a past ACON event, he was seen delicately preparing to assist Shuhua (G)I-DLE as he walked down the stairs in heels, carefully avoiding any physical contact but clearly ready to catch her if necessary.
Similarly, during a live stage with comedian Jang Do Yeon, when she needed to adjust her dress, Jun Young discreetly opened her dress jacket to protect her from the crowd. And during a dramatic press event with Jung Eunji, he stood in front of her when the strap of her shoe broke, offering her cover without a second thought.
Fans praised him for treating all his colleagues with the same respectful care, calling him out “a walking green flag.”
The now iconic rain scene with Jang Wonyoung continues to circulate online, with many calling it out one of the most romantic K-pop moments of 2025. It’s official: Lee Jun Young isn’t just charming on screen: He wins hearts with the energy of a gentleman in real life.
