Netizens Speculate on Jang Won Young's True Height
As fans have noticed Jang Won Young's model-like appearance and long legs, some netizens have begun to question her actual height. While her profile lists her at 173 centimeters, some believe she is closer to 180 centimeters. Fans have been sharing photos of Jang Won Young next to other idols, attempting to prove their theories. However, others have argued that her slender frame and excellent proportions simply make her appear taller.

IVE members are known for their impressive heights, with the shortest member, Gaeul, standing at 164 centimeters, and the tallest, Jang Won Young, at approximately 173 centimeters. Yujin and Liz follow closely at 172 and 171 centimeters, respectively. During the "Amazing Saturday" episode, Taeyeon stood next to Liz and Jang Won Young, and the height difference between the senior and junior K-pop idols was striking.
