“BANG BANG” includes Wonyoung among its credited lyricists, alongside Seo Ji Eum, Hwang Yubin, also known as XYXX, and EXY. This is not the first time Wonyoung has taken part in writing lyrics. The KPop diva previously contributed to “XOXZ,” the title track from IVE’s fourth mini-album “IVE SECRET,” which was released in 2025 and received positive feedback from fans.
Over the years, Wonyoung has steadily built songwriting experience after being credited for several IVE songs, including “Mine,” “OTT,” “Blue Heart,” and “Attitude.” Meanwhile, IVE continues to prepare for their comeback. In the early hours of January 21, 2026, a teaser video titled “COMING SOON” was uploaded to the group’s official YouTube channel, hyping up IVE’s official comeback.
