While group IVE member Jang Won-young has been dealing with an unexpected controversy over her airport conduct, a video capturing her handing over her passport politely with both hands has been revealed.

Jang Won-young departed from Gimpo International Airport on the 30th of last month to carry out a schedule in Shanghai, China, together with other IVE members.

At that time, a short video showing the back of Jang Won-young undergoing departure screening went viral online, sparking controversy over her conduct in some quarters. This was due to claims that she crossed her arms in front of airport staff or accepted her passport with one hand.

However, a video shot from a different angle, not showing her back, captured a completely different scene. In reality, when it was Jang Won-young's turn for departure screening, she politely handed over her passport to the airport staff with both hands and faithfully complied with the staff's request to show her face.

Furthermore, it was confirmed that Jang Won-young did cross her arms, but only for a very short period while the staff scanned her passport with the machine. Afterward, she accepted her passport with one hand and left the area. However, considering the full context before and after the incident, which was not fully captured in the controversial video, the prevailing view is that the conduct controversy is somewhat far-fetched.

When the video shot from a different angle was released, many netizens responded with comments such as "This is why you need to see the full context before and after," "She cooperated with all situations, so it's hard to understand why a conduct controversy arose," and "It's a daily action, so the criticism is excessive."
