Jang Wonyoung of IVE has drawn global attention after sharing the spotlight with Hollywood veterans Meryl Streep and Anne Hathaway in a newly teased collaboration unveiled by Vogue Korea.
On April 9, Vogue Korea released a preview clip on its official social media, introducing a special feature titled “Bye Vogue.” According to the magazine, the project was initiated at the suggestion of Meryl Streep and brings together three influential figures from different generations and industries.
Vogue feature bridges K-pop and Hollywood
The teaser video captures a lively moment between Jang Wonyoung, Streep, and Hathaway as they gather for what appears to be a joint interview and promotional segment. The two Hollywood actors are currently in South Korea to promote their upcoming film, The Devil Wears Prada 2, and Wonyoung takes on the role of interviewer for the feature.
Throughout the clip, the trio shares lighthearted exchanges, including a coordinated “Bye Vogue” chant that highlights the playful tone of the shoot. Jang Wonyoung is seen guiding the conversation while referencing Streep’s iconic character from the original film, creating a natural bridge between the film’s legacy and the current promotional campaign.
The setting underscores a rare cultural crossover, with a leading K-pop idol engaging directly with two of Hollywood’s most recognized actresses. The collaboration reflects the growing global presence of K-pop figures within the fashion and entertainment industries.
On-set chemistry and standout moments
The interaction was marked by a relaxed and friendly atmosphere. Jang Wonyoung, known for her poised public image, demonstrated fluent English communication skills as she conducted the interview, drawing positive reactions from both actresses.
One moment that stood out in the teaser involved Wonyoung jokingly revealing a “secret” about her long hairstyle, gesturing playfully as she explained it was achieved with extensions. The comment prompted laughter from Streep and Hathaway, adding to the candid feel of the exchange.
Visually, the three stars presented distinct yet complementary styles. Wonyoung appeared in a refined black-and-white ensemble, while Streep opted for a bold red suit that emphasized her signature elegance. Hathaway completed the trio with a uniquely structured dress, contributing to the editorial’s high-fashion aesthetic.
The clip also features the trio briefly harmonizing together, further highlighting the relaxed dynamic and cross-industry connection. Their interaction offered a glimpse into how figures from different cultural backgrounds and generations can collaborate seamlessly within a global media context.
Film promotion expands global reach
The appearance is part of a broader promotional campaign for “The Devil Wears Prada 2,” a sequel to the widely successful fashion film. The new installment follows the return of Miranda Priestly, the legendary editor-in-chief of a fictional fashion magazine, alongside familiar characters navigating a rapidly evolving media landscape.
The film is scheduled for its global premiere on April 29, with South Korea serving as one of the key stops in its international promotional tour. In addition to the Vogue Korea feature, Streep and Hathaway are set to appear on major Korean variety programs, including tvN’s “You Quiz on the Block,” hosted by Yoo Jae Suk.
Jang Wonyoung’s participation in the campaign highlights her rising influence beyond music, positioning her as a prominent figure in global fashion and media collaborations. The Vogue Korea feature is expected to be released in full in the coming days, drawing further interest from both K-pop fans and international audiences.
