About Annyeongz
Annyeongz is the fan-shipping between IVE's two most prominent members and former IZ*ONE groupmates: Jang Wonyoung and An Yujin. The name 'Annyeongz' (안녕즈) plays on Yujin's surname (An) and the Korean greeting 'annyeong' (hello), reflecting the pair's cheerful, approachable image. Wonyoung and Yujin share an unusually long history: both competed on the reality survival show Produce 48 (2018), both debuted in the temporary project group IZ*ONE, and both debuted again together in IVE under Starship Entertainment in December 2021. Their bond predates IVE by several years. Fans have noted they were born almost exactly a year apart, which they call 'almost birthday twins,' and point to a playful greeting ritual the two are seen sharing in fan content. Their on-stage and off-stage dynamic is closely watched by fans, who enjoy reading their long co-member history into small moments. Annyeongz is one of the most actively shipped pairings in the current generation of K-pop girl groups.
