!['It was the kickoff... did Jang Won-young really have to wear that kind of outfit?[MD Issue]'](http://thumbnews.nateimg.co.kr/view610///news.nateimg.co.kr/orgImg/my/2025/07/31/2025073021093546539_l.jpg)

[My Daily = Reporter Kim Jin-seok] It raises the question of whether such clothing was necessary.

On the evening of the 30th, IVE performed the ceremonial kickoff and halftime show for the first match of the ‘2025 Coupang Play Series’ between Team K-League and Newcastle United held at Suwon World Cup Stadium.

IVE’s outfit on the field for the kickoff drew attention. They were styled with a sky-blue top, pants, and sneakers. Unlike the other members, Jang Won-young wore pants with a tight-fitting dress over them. The dress seemed particularly inconvenient for a kickoff, as the top part slid down and the hemline looked short, creating a risky impression. While some criticized the stylist for lacking sense, the outfits were actually the members’ choice.

After the kickoff, Rei posted on a fan platform, saying “Isn’t our IVE uniform super cute?” and “We asked for them to be customized the way each of us wanted.” It wasn’t the stylist, but the members who decided on the outfits. Therefore, there’s no reason to blame the stylist.

It’s natural for Jang Won-young, famous for her excellent figure, to not want to miss out on style. Nevertheless, considering it was a soccer stadium and she was giving the kickoff, the styling was excessive and inevitably gave onlookers a sense of risk.

Particularly, NewJeans, who gave the kickoff at last year’s Coupang Play match between Bayern Munich and Tottenham Hotspur, exemplified the perfect uniform. From the top and bottom to socks and sneakers, their attire was stylized to the point that they looked ready for a women’s soccer match rather than a stage outfit.
