Jang Won-young eating a strawberry with two hands on “The Manager”: “Cute” vs “Overly conscious of the camera”

IVE Jang Won-young’s moment of grabbing strawberries with both hands and eating them is receiving mixed feedback.

MBC’s “The Manager,” which aired on April 9th, revealed IVE‘s dorm life for the first time. On this day, the members gathered in the living room and chatted while washing and eating shine muskat and strawberries.

Jang Won-young grabbed the strawberries with both hands and began to chew cutely like a hamster. MC Yoo Byung-jae, who saw this, laughed before copying Jang Won-young‘s behavior and said, “Is this how you eat?”

MC Lee Young-ja and Song Eun-yi also said with a dejected smile, “Why are you like that? It’s a foul to use two hands when eating strawberries.” It seems that they have never imagined eating like Jang Won-young because it is a strawberry that can be eaten in a bite using their thumb and index finger.

Jang Won-young said, “But for real, the Mary Queen strawberry was too big,” explaining why she had no choice but to hold it with both hands.

The responses of netizens who saw the scene were largely divided on various online communities and YouTube. Many netizens responded by saying, “She has all the cutest things in the world,” “The way she eats strawberries is so precious,” and “She’s born cute.” On the other hand, some gave these unfavorable eyes, such as “using both hands too eat is a little too much,” “I think she was just overly conscious of the camera,” and “Her stretching in the morning was too unnatural.”

Meanwhile, IVE, which includes Jang Won-young, has recently made a comeback with the new song “Love Dive.”
