Jang Wonyoung is clearly having a hard time just by looking at the haters here throwing a tantrum.
But I'm curious. Who is the idol who has a bigger personal schedule than Jang Won-young? Seriously, no matter how much I think about it, no matter how hard I try to look for it, is it An Yu-jin? When I think of the top 4th generation personal careers, all I can think of is Jang Wonyoung and Ahn Yujin. I wonder who the idol with a bigger schedule than Jang Wonyoung is?
I really respect Wonyoung.. He never once showed that he was having a hard time or messed up his schedule. If it were me, I would have been unable to make it. I think I would have had trouble at the airport.
Suddenly, I understood a little bit when Jang Won-young said she worked out early in the morning... People say she's really skinny, but I guess she's healthier than anyone else, right? I hope she endures well like she always does and shows her fans a lot of smiles.
I'm scared that I'll burn out like that.
Stay healthy and happy, Wonyoung-ah, Ive fighting!
