Ive Jang Won-young "nationality rumors"
While group Ive Jang Won-young is suffering from "nationality rumors" from YouTube, Chinese netizens' reactions are becoming a hot topic.
Recently, various online communities have been embroiled in untimely "nationality suspicions" due to the leakage of copies of Jang Won-young's registration, the address that appears to be Jang Won-young's home address, and the somewhat exotic father's name.
In addition, when Jang Won-young appeared on Mnent's "Produce 48" in the past, her English name was marked as changyuangying (Jang Yuen-ling) on her website, and some netizens were re-examined that Jang Won-young was embroiled in suspicions of being a Chinese or a nationality.

Eventually, the allegations spread on the Chinese community, and Chinese netizens who heard them claimed, "I'm so happy that Chinese are the center," "I thought Jang Won-young was Chinese," and "Jang Won-young must be 100% pure Chinese."
Korean reaction
After hearing this, Korean netizens are reacting in various ways, such as, "The agency is in urgent need of action," "I hope they come up with a clean stance now," "It's hard to see malicious comments in Korea and now China is unreasonable,"
