IVE’s JANGWONYOUNG shape-shifts on the page. From a crystal-clear daytime glow to enigmatic allure and hazy, dreamlike moods, she reveals sides she hasn’t shown before.
JANGWONYOUNG fronts D'ICON Issue 31, themed “One & Only”―a phrase she uses in the interview to define herself. Across four concepts and 168 pages, she delivers a signature no one else can replicate.
For the first time, D'ICON unveils a horizontal wide-format shoot, bringing JANGWONYOUNG’s expressions, gaze and aura into sharper, more intimate focus.
Type A homes in on her natural beauty. With makeup dialed back, the look spotlights a fresh, dewy charm―think morning light and crystal-clear eyes. The Type A extras include three items: a mirror acrylic keyring, a digital camera card pack featuring seven vintage-inspired shots, and a photocard.
Type B is JANGWONYOUNG’s Christmas gift to fans, wrapped in the flutter, warmth and love of the holiday. She even turns into a “human tree,” draped in string lights. Festive extras complete the set: an acrylic keyring mini figure of JANGWONYOUNG, plus a frame stand set with a postcard and display stand.
Type C channels a princess under a medieval spell: an inky black dress, porcelain skin and crimson lips set an uncanny, seductive tone. Moody expressions and trance-like poses spark the imagination. Year-round extras keep her close―an oversized wall calendar, an ID photo, and a matching case.
Type D goes full Hong Kong noir. In a black suit, she radiates cool restraint; her blank gaze cuts through the neon. The add-ons stay cinematic: an acrylic photo stand for photocards and a secret card set bearing messages meant only for DIVE, IVE’s fandom.
Issue 31 also digs deep. There’s an in-depth sit-down on becoming “One & Only,” a TMI-style Q&A that peeks at her current favorites, and staff anecdotes that decode the “JANGWONYOUNG way” of thinking.
Preorders for the JANGWONYOUNG edition of D'ICON open Dec. 15 at 2 p.m. KST.
