IVE members An Yu-jin and Jang Won-young have teased a new duo project, sparking speculation about a potential sub-unit. The announcement came via a mysterious teaser video released on social media, featuring a retro telephone and a greeting that utilizes the “An-nyeong” logo.
This logo is a play on the fans' nickname for the pair, “An-youngz,” which combines parts of their names. In addition to the video, a new social media account for “IVE EXHIBITION” announced a special duo exhibition in Seoul titled “AN-YOUNG in Seoul.” The exhibition concept, centered on “shining moments,” is expected to feature previously unreleased photos and interactive media art.
The two members have a long history of working together, dating back to their time in the group IZ*ONE following the “Produce 48” competition. While the exhibition is confirmed, it remains unclear if this project will expand into a formal musical sub-unit or include new song releases.
