Wonyoung attended the occasion alongside fellow BVLGARI ambassador Kim Ji Won and brand CEO <strong>Laura<\/strong> <strong>Burdese<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>During the group photo, the three women initially stood side by side.<strong> Kim Ji Won<\/strong> briefly turned her head, seemingly responding to directions from staff. At that point, Wonyoung noticed the shift and gestured for Kim to move closer, apparently coordinating the shot. Ji Won and Burdese switched positions following Wonyoung command before staff intervened with different instructions, and everyone returned to where they had originally been standing.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-pullquote\">\n        <blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Wonyoung telling Jiwon to go in the middle.
