Jang Wonyoung of IVE is once again proving that her talents go far beyond the stage.

As the group gears up for its highly anticipated February comeback, it has been revealed that Jang Wonyoung has taken part in writing the lyrics for IVE’s upcoming pre-release track — a detail that has fans buzzing with excitement.

According to an IZE report dated January 21, IVE will be releasing a pre-release song ahead of their official comeback album, which is scheduled for late February.

The track, titled “BANG BANG,” is expected to drop sometime next month, offering fans an early glimpse into the group’s next musical era.

What has especially caught attention is Jang Wonyoung’s name among the song’s lyricists. She worked alongside respected writers Seo Ji Eum, Hwang Yubin (XYXX) and EXY, marking yet another step forward in her creative journey.

This isn’t a one-off contribution either — fans will remember that Jang Wonyoung previously received praise for helping write “XOXZ,” the title track of IVE’s fourth mini album IVE SECRET, released last year.

Over time, Jang Wonyoung has quietly but consistently become more involved in the group’s creative process. With each release, she has taken on a greater role behind the scenes, earning recognition not just as a performer and visual icon, but also as a thoughtful contributor to IVE’s music.

Her growing presence in lyric writing has sparked curiosity about how her personal voice and experiences influence the group’s sound.

Meanwhile, IVE is building anticipation in classic fashion. In the early hours of January 21, the group released a short teaser titled “COMING SOON” on their official YouTube channel, IVE.
